I thought this was interesting to see two Hoosiers at the top. Lander will be sought after hard also.

With all due respect.....Race is probably our third most attractive player in the portal.  No way he is #3 overall.

You don't get to stay a blue-blood without a little of that blood on your hands.

You can be mad at IU if you want, idc either way, but there has been a decision to not pursue coaches who have put their programs on probation.

Of course I’m mad at IU. Other programs consistently cheat their butts off and reap the rewards of it. We do things the “right” way, miss the tournament more often than we make it, and regularly get clowned by the media. IU would rather consider a guy who has made 2 tournaments in 17 seasons than the guy who has his 1 seed in the sweet 16 and has interest in the job. It’s a joke. IU makes it loud and clear that a good basketball program isn’t its top priority, which is frustrating as hell to me. All I want is for IU to be a great program again, but the administration refuses to let it happen.

Also, John Harrar being listed #2 is laughable

Based off potential maybe, but actual results, he is #2 behind Franklin.

Ben McCollum's season will be over here in about 20 mins.  With a Div. II title to boot.  

Dude has straight built a power house in Div 2. 3 national titles. People would hate the hire but go look at what he's done

His analysis is obviously tilted way too much toward big men.  His top 4 are all big men

Another day where Woodson and Alford are not announced as our head coach. 
 

God is Good!

Is this on “good authority” or is it “unimpeachable”?

That’s a different and larger conversation and one I’m willing to have. There is probably a thread on it, I’ll look. I’m just telling you IU has made that decision.

Neither lol

I think we need to hire somebody this weekend. We don’t want programs to convince our players to leave and the more time they have the better of a chance they have to do it. As of right now this is who I believe will come back. 
 
Lander- Will come back.                                          
TJD- Will come back.                                         
Armaan- Will come back 
Geromino- Is not coming back 
Race- 50/50
Parker- I hope he comes back since he has been through so much and he is a great shooter so hopefully the new coach convinces him so I think 50/50 
Al- Not coming back 

So no "homerun" hire?

Another rumor for the rumor mill....my wife works in a large (class 6A) Indiana high school, and the folks in the athletic department there believe the hire will be Beilein with Calbert as the coach-in-waiting.  They have heard Beilein will coach 3 years and then turn the reins over to Calbert.  I asked her who they heard this from and she has no idea.  It kind of makes sense if they're considering Beilein, but I don't know....maybe they know something, maybe they don't.  

I'd be fine with it, although I don't believe they would tell Bielien only 3 years

We don’t know who is being considered by Dolson. Everything we’ve heard has been pure speculation.

I would’ve been more surprised if they hadn’t made that decision, honestly. Sorry if it seemed like I was being harsh toward you, IU just really frustrates me sometimes.

I'm really sick of the Moser crap. He's doesn't deserve an interview or any interest from IU. I'd rather have Cheaney who is a complete mystery than someone we know will fail. 

No one knows whether he would succeed. You’re just patently pacist. Which is unsurprising for a fast food item, I suppose.

 

Moser is a gamble with a mixed track record, but his recent success is very impressive. He’s not a sure thing by any means, but I would rather gamble on someone with significant head coaching experience who has had the opportunity to learn from his failures and demonstrate growth and success, than someone who has never experienced either.

We know he zeroed in on Holtmann because Goodman said so/)

Didn't Self leave a good situation for Kansas? 

Yes. Illinois fans over here still haven't forgiven him

I could care the f less about HMP.
