I would like to thank the posters on this sight that bring good insight to this form. Even though over the years you sometimes get attacked . I know most of the fans on here appreciate you. Good day to be a IU fan.

To say the least!  And don’t forget Sparks and Walker, loaded and deep!

Now all we need is a good 3 point shooting guard but Galloway will work too!

For me we need a quicker 2 that doesn’t have to start but might be used in key matchups such as Miami last year

CMW has transformed the roster into something very different from last season. A lot of potential but will take a while to work out all the roles. We are on the road to being a top program again. We are in very good hands with Coach Woodson.

Reading that quote about Melo in the ESPN article brought me back to 2 years ago. Those were fun times.

The turning point of the recruitment:

Bill Self facetimed MM this morning.  Camera panned down to Self's morning meal of scrambled eggs and ketchup.

This looks like a roster of dudes now.

Think 2002.

Every one of the guys in our projected starting lineup looks the part of belonging to a team that is built for March.

Mgbako spoke with Carmelo Anthony, who played for Indiana coach Mike Woodson while with the New York Knicks. He said that Anthony told him, "[Woodson] is a genuine guy. But on the court, he will push you."

Having star power like Carmelo Anthony talking to recruits like that can't hurt.  Maybe Anthony's son should listen.

if it's been more than 4 hours, call your doctor

You mean people have erections that last less than 4 hours?

I mentioned a few weeks ago that we really need to get longer and more athletic. The program got noticeably slower and less athletic during the Archie years, to the point it distorted our view of what real talent looks like. The transition is well under way to make us look more like Duke, UK and Kansas and less like some A-10 team full of slugs.

When was the last time we beat out Kansas for a big time recruit like this? I know we’ve had some blockbuster battles with UK and UNC, especially under Crean, but seriously when was the last time we went toe to toe with Kansas or Duke and came out on top?

Don’t forget this… while Flory is on KU visit hahahaha

reading quotes why he chose us over them 

Also while anyone who saw him on campus thought he was MM.  

[rcbowla 7,119]

So freaking awesome man. I'm now off to watch some KU posters eat crow because man they were writing IU off as minor threats. Good ****

Anybody have any idea what the IU v. Kansas tickets are going for?

Would be a great year to have my name come up on the season ticket waitlist tbh.

Romeo Langford, but I'd say this was a much bigger deal because he originally signed with Duke and had zero ties to this state.
