Man that would be so much free publicity for transfers.  
 

With Al leaving that gives us what 2 spots if Duncomb comes back?  Barring more transfers 

I would think a player like Race Thompson and TJD would want to stay.

Ryan Phillips is as good a national writer the IU fan base can ask for. He defends the fan base relentlessly and I believe he has sources. I don't think he runs with them much because he is a national journalist but he even said he knew the Archie buyout wasn't going to be an issue because he was told that.

Another homeless wanderer from HSN here (sorry not an insider, but do enjoy posting stats/trends). Love Assembly Call but Ryan does try to act a little smarter than he is at times and I'm not sure he's that much in the know. In the 19-20 season when Fire Archie talk came up in a post-game youtube show he was saying how we wouldn't because of the buyout and when several people in chat mentioned how his contract (like Crean's and most coaches) have it so a new job cancels out a good portion of the buyout he looked dumbfounded when he was reading it. Know Chris or IUWins did mention that the schools do still need to have the money for bookkeeping reasons but I just know he isn't always totally on his stuff. That being said, I've been listening to Assembly Call since 2015 and he is a nice perspective change from Jerrod/Andy/Coach.

 The national guys are saying the same things when UM fans were believing Harbaugh would leave SF for UM. Full disclosure, spent most of my life on either side of the border in Michiana, and follow UM football pretty closely and the forums and blogs therein. I can tell you 100% this is exactly the same. It is so similar it is eerie, insiders on blogs, smoke and fire, all the while all the national cats screeching no way he leaves the super amazing NFL for a college job. I remain pretty optimistic we are seeing the same thing unfold.

Hell, no.  Archie was a hell of a shooter.....think that's how he got the IU job last time.

Treesh deserves a position at BtB on top of director of the Brad Stevens to IU train for his sound financial advice to @IU Hoosier41

UK fans will say that once Calapari leaves then Brad will leave IU for UK

I always just tell him Im going to take him down to Chinatown and trade him for a pack of gum. But he always just giggles and smiles because he's a turd.

I agree. I’ll start by updating the Emoji’s!

I think many are overlooking this very fact.

I can't open the link. But tell me Old Fart are you drinking the kool-aid? Because if you do i will. I respect my elders' elders too much not too.

For kicks and giggles, I took a peek at a Butler board. They're "breathing a sigh of relief" because Dan Patrick, who "has real sources," said earlier this has no chance of happening.
