If the search is "ongoing", how the hell does Scott "have his guy?!" I'll just take it as everyone THINKS the search is still ongoing when it's really not. 

You must have a big ole brain haha

Totally. Was just curious if anyone knew if they graduated a ton of guys, had some injuries, etc.

Spent more time in this just now than I should have; someone did mention the low number of returning minutes and the COVID stuff. They also didn't get their freshmen to contribute a bunch that year; not a lot of really productive players on that team. Was also right before the portal opened up in a more meaningful way; the UNLV team the next year was better, but was an almost total roster reshuffle from the 2021 team.

Kind of a perfect storm of bad roster makeup/talent acquisition.

Not my area of expertise but UNLV has been a sneaky hard job for awhile now according to folks who’d know more than us, too.

Rabby hit the lotto when Woodson was fired last month and sold his “Insider” content for a low monthly discount special. He knows nothing more than anyone on this board. 
 

If you want the closes media reporter to Scott, it’s Ostermann.

I think some guy (or I guess it could be gal) owes me venmo or something. Forget who that was, talk about a weird night and interaction, but my venmo is open and accepting dolla dolla (in my best Boston accent) bills yall!

You said Done Deal which it wasn’t and still isn’t. You then were challenging anyone that didn’t agree with you and brought up betting. I asked you if you would bet me that Stevens becomes the coach. You opted not to. 
I would be happy with any of those 3 of that is where it lands.

And what the hell kind of ads is BTB sneaking in here while we’re all preoccupied with this coaching search!? Made me do a double-take

Lol

Sometimes guys like Rabby break cover when they know something is imminent

Yep...right when Trilly did his Harrelson prediction he said: Lot's of Chatter for ND.

He did it during I think the Stevens stuff last time but I know last minute he started posting positive stuff and next day or so the Woodson news broke.

I joined for the included Paramount plus with Showtime for $9.95/month instead of just Paramount plus with Showtime for $12.99/month. Save $3/month and get to see Rabby show he doesn't have the inside scoop as a bonus. It's a win for me.

Pretty sure that individual just reads this board and others and then posts like he has info. Everytime something has come up here shortly after he posts pretty much what's been suggested here. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think they have any inside info.

HS recruiting is still important so the HC needs to put some effort in there whether it's talking/texting recruits or going to watch them play. I don't want it to be a team made up almost completely of transfer portal players that gets turned over every year. As you pointed out, having someone that can do a lot of the scouting and watching during the summer could make a huge difference. The HC does need to still be somewhat involved, maybe not as much as is required now.

Yep. I would still prefer to build that way. The difference being we can come in and offer guys contracts, have them signed, and coaches can go on vacation in June and July not having to worry about some 5* going someplace else because calipari sidled up to them at an aau tournament. 
 

The HC will still be involved but they’ll actually have some real off time. They also won’t have to start recruiting 15 yr olds. Not at IU, anyways. Because we’ll be able to make strong @$$ offers (lol) later in the game.

Woodson at next year’s Midnight Madness: “South Harmony Institute of Technology is the ****.”

Then a week later loses to Whatsamatta U by 25 on a neutral court.

When IU starts recruiting high schools kids again during their recruitment you can use your vip 247 subscription to look at the other schools boards that IU is recruiting against to see it from their side.   9.95 for Paramount + and the ability to look at other sites is good deal.

There you are! Couldn’t remember, but yes, it was you Mike. I do believe the bet was about Stevens being a greater than 0% chance at becoming our next head coach. Just hadn’t heard from you so wanted to pull you out of the woodwork. It’s a great time to be a Hoosier fan, join in on the POSITIVITY train my man. Cheers to a great run ahead!

Correct. And he deletes anything that turns out to be untrue.

Hey partners! It sounds like many of you are coming to the conclusion that I anticipated from the beginning. And that is that the best coach could very well be the one you already have.

I'm hopeful that we can talk Coach into coming back for a few more years. Just let ole Quinn do his magic. I think we owe it to him for all he has done for this program.

Go Hoosiers!

I think QB and Tony should be allotted a time frame where only they can post. They crack me up lol
