I saw on twitter that Ristic has been sighted wearing the dreaded boot on his left foot.

A foot injury requiring the walking boot is a rite of passage in this program.

Yup, not a Hoosier until you’ve had one.

Really good stuff here. Lamar and Tayton are the dynamic duo:

Thanks for sharing. Good stuff, lol

One has nothing to do with the other really, but the fact Dolson hit a grand slam home run with the football hire makes me optimistic/hopeful that he's done the same with basketball this time around. Not too much longer now til we see them in action with our own eyes.

Lamar is flat out funny.

It’s really nice to have such a likable team with some great personalities.

Imo Cig and DeVries are cut from the same cloth.

Cig is a football mind who has developed prior programs into winning teams.

DeVries is a basketball mind who has developed programs into winning teams.

I am optimistic

This would mean that Scott Dolson knows what the heck he’s doing, has a plan, has a ‘type’ of coach that he wants, and now has been given license to hire AND pay to retain as he sees fit. Cig, Moren, Yeagley, and now Devries.

I think that is absolutely true, and I am also optimistic.

Any update on Aleksa Ristic and his boot?

[RoadRage]

Our team is either being terrible underrated or we are not going to be that good this season....at least according to the so called experts!

Yep, seems that way. The nice thing compared to last year is our schedule should give us a pretty decent indication early on of what we're working with. Obviously you hope to see improvement as the year goes on too.

Last year in non-con, the only P5 teams we played were SCAR, who sucked, and the B4A teams where we got our doors blown off by everyone but a cruddy Providence team missing their best player if memory serves. 

This year we will play Marquette and Kansas State + scrimmage Baylor by the same time B4A started last year. 

31 days til Baylor. 45 days til Marquette. Ready for IU basketball.
