I joined Peegs just for the month and the $1 and man do those guys make BTB posters seem like normal ordinary people… no offense :)

Lol im glad im not the only one who did that

Respect you like crazy Chris, but not sure I buy that.
Slater called out Zagoria for putting out info the family wanted kept quiet - even post a rat as emphasis. And THAT guy is going to turn around and share info with a drinking buddy?

Who knows… Rabby is a pretty honorable guy. There’s tons of people on Peegs these days who are mad with him because he doesn’t share everything he knows. People know they can tell him things and he won’t say anything.

Maybe we should go 4-28 like Louisville.

1 year is one year. Just remember our best season in the last 30 years U6 was the one hoisting the trophy.

On behalf of everyone…Thanks?   ;)
BTB posters are also FAR better looking.

I’ve been on BTB far longer and would like to agree myself lol

Peegs seems to have a couple quality people but most of it is a cesspool of negativity

Just imagine if this kid comes here and is really more of a 4 than a 3 defensively.

Cool. They were 13-19 two years ago and missed the tournament the last three years.

Recency bias. There are very few people that would trade our last 20 years for their last 20’years. 
 

We missed the tourney 5 straight years until we hired Woodson. And haven’t made the second weekend. I’m what 8 years.  Can we please stop pretending like we have had some runaway success recently. They hoisted a trophy 10 years ago. We haven’t made a final four in the life of any of our recruits.

My wife might disagree. She just felt sorry for me

Did people think MM was gonna pop for us after the visit? We were told the family was gonna hold this one close and there would be 4 visits. What changed??? Seems to be going as planned.

If that was the case, why do we know the names of players? 

Yes, the fans are fans of the school but the players are who they watch. Bring in a bunch of nobodies who can't play and see how long fans stay around. IU fans have been more persistent than most but I have definitely seen a decline in fan enthusiasm in the last 25 years or so.

Under Miller, fan enthusiasm really took a dive. Lots of losing because of bad coaching and teams that didn't have much talent outside of 1 or 2 players.

Basketball is actually the product, not the school name. Without the players you don't have that.

I root for IU, NOT any Individual player. When they leave IU, I don’t follow the players and really don’t care what they do. Same for the  NFL OR MLB team I follow.  I know the names of the players because I follow the team.

I think the biggest thing that changed was that the most pro-IU media guy just said that a school that MM hasn't even visited yet is the leader for him.

I think people perceive momentum to be going against us because the UL trip was not cancelled, despite rumors yesterday. 

Maybe they were just rumors, maybe there was some truth behind it (i.e. did he say so on his visit to Bloomington?)

Just my own speculation, but given Kansas also felt great coming out of their visits, maybe MM is just excitable on these trips and says what he thinks people want to hear (not so uncommon - Calhoun said KD verballed to him on a visit for example). Could the agent be steering him toward UL? Maybe. Is it most likely MM's decision to make? I have to imagine. 

Of course, he may just take the guidance of his agent and that would be that (if he actually is steering toward UL, seems possible he is not and it was a misunderstanding). My hope is that with a week between visits, MM is less apt to make an on the spot decision. 

If he leaves UL without committing, I like our odds as much as anybody. We just have to wait and see. Lol

So recruits go back to a time before they were born when looking at a team's success?  I don't think you understand recency bias.

[RaceToTheTop 31,261]

FWIW, Jaylon Tyson just committed to California over Kansas.  While I'm not sure how MM fits into Kansas' lineup, he most definitely wouldn't have fit in if Tyson signed.

FWIW, Kansas is still recruiting Texas decommit Ron Holland (#1 recruit in the nation).  Hope our staff doesn't choose to stand put while waiting around for MM to make a decision.  Can't waste time not getting a foot in a door with some guys if the MM recruitment doesn't pan out.  Think they made that mistake already with Ledlum.

I’m by no means a fan of Dakich but on his radio show he would always reference “Southern Indiana guy” when people would call in with crazy takes.

I think we all know one of them and Peegs can be filled with those guys sometimes. Lol.

Southern Indiana guys are KOOL!

I’m from the first state capitol of Indiana so I’m as southern Indiana as they come but this refers to the kind of men who like to yell at clouds. Lol
