This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

Half our scholarship players are in the transfer portal. Rumors of us hiring a guy with 2 tournament appearances in 17 years. At least we have a good football team. 

Don't forget about the coaches who have never been head coaches on the collegiate level before!

I may be one of the few pro-Archie Miller fans still around.  But, I am more of a pro-IU fan than that.  It definitely was past time for Archie Miller to be at IU.  He had lost the team and any recruiting to fill holes in the roster were way behind the curve.  

And I strongly disagree with any justification that I have read so far to keep him another year.  What could Dolson do in half a year that he couldn't have done in the last half of a year?  Nothing, in my opinion.

I keep believing that there is a good possibility that something is in the works.  Something besides Brad Stevens.  And not everyone will be happy initially.  Just be patient another 2 or 3 weeks.

The guys putting their names in the transfer portal is not anything we can do about it. The new coach will be able to recruit circles around Archie Miller...i hope.

And I'm an old IU guy that doesn't really support getting Alford.  But if he was hired, I would get on board.  But, there would have to be some clear language in his charges and IU policy about certain situations.

One of the most important things in this era and moving forward is having a guy with NBA pedigree and proven to have success getting guys to the league.

If only we could get someone with ties to guys like DWade, Oladipo, Anthony Edwards, Cody Zeller...

What's he saying if you don't mind me asking?

Nothing specific at all, just that he's pleased with the job/process Dolson is doing.

Pocket change for UT.

I learned something interesting living in Texas.  The Texas legislature issued the University of Texas millions of acres of land under land grants in the 1870s.  A lot of the land was in west Texas, a location that no one in their right mind would want to live.  In the early 1900s oil was discovered on this land.  That land now compromises a large swath of the Permian Basin, one of the most productive oil basins in the world.  I believe the current lease rates for University land are around ~$20,000 per acre and 25% of hydrocarbons recovered.  So yeah, they are printing money.

If Dakich is being Mr. Nice Guy, he must have some inkling of where this is all headed.  If he was totally clueless, I would expect him to be trashing Dolson.

In terms of the roster, I will say that I had more fun watching Crean’s first season of no names that this past season.  My hope is that we do retain as many as players as possible but that the trajectory we were on under Miller was not a positive one.  It certainly might mean a couple steps back before we see gains.

Thanks Vauxhall.

So what is the hate? That he's a jerk? Dirty? Friends with Dakich? Is it the hair?

I've got plenty of friends who feel the way you do. As mentioned, I'm indifferent.

Don't mean to sound naive on this as I've only been hanging around the board for a few days. Just curious??

It's all right here:

If I knew anything about coding, I'd create a bot that just auto-replies that link to anyone who so much as dips their toes into Alford talk. Most people with strong opinions on Alford know about this, but it hasn't stuck to him nearly as much as it should (i.e. he's still apparently viewed as employable by other schools).
