Right, because IU fans and media are always super focused on the 5* players we get. Like all the talk about Tucker. Oh, wait.

It's the "home-grown" concept that's the topic at hand.

Did you know that "Braylon Mullins" spelled backwards is "Snillum Nolyarb"

whereas

"Trent Sisley" spelled backwards is "FYou ImaBornaHoosier."

 

Y'all may now discuss.

Snillum Nolyarb sounds like a bad guy in Harry Potter.

It is.

That’s who Braylon Mullins was named after.

If you don't change the thread title to 'Snillum Nolyarb to UConn' after the announcement I'm going to be upset. That would be the real travesty in all this.

Football school!

Would appear that all the smoke about Woody not wanting to have to rely on the portal for a team next season was just that - smoke.  Portal 'XXV awaits us.

But will the Simons and Cooks keep coughing up the dough?

Eventually even Woodson’s ego has to be questioned by Mike Woodson.  
 

I mean, whatever.  Take the frustrations out on the court and play and coach as hard and tough as humanly possible.  Hope to have a huge season and see where things end up in the Spring. This could go any direction with IUBB.

As far as Hurley, he’s 1 bad season away from health concerns. He’s another good season away from a East coast NBA gig.  Hurley is arrogant AF and not in the Coach Cig way.   
 

I’ll enjoy the Hurley falloff when it occurs.

It’s too big of a money maker not to keep the fans engaged.  They must keep the fans engaged. I believe they will one way or another.

He doesn’t exist now!

On one of the other sites there was a guy who had a meme of a plunger and a toilet, and whenever a recruit chose elsewhere, the thread was flushed.

Could use that here… along with the ability to use emojis.

Can’t speak for other sites but here threads can be left open even after a teenager picks a different team other then the one some grown ups wanted him to pick.  Most individuals can still have a civil conversation about the recruit even if they went somewhere else.

Agree, but a sense of humor is always welcome in situations like this. Helps to diffuse some of the emotions

Read the thread title.  He did share with the class

Agree on  the sense of humor  but nothing needed diffused here.  Everyone knew he was going to UConn.  Most people here acknowledged it and moved on knowing he wasn’t coming here a couple weeks ago.

Didn't disappoint!

Can't wait to see the player Sisley becomes, with the Montverde experience.

Maybe… maybe not. Sure seems to me like there’s a lot of angst between this thread and the FMW thread over missing out on this guy

Obviously we have a pretty good team on paper this year, and maybe we can just continue to build through the portal. But I'm not sure what world where players are turning down money to go elsewhere is anything but a terrible sign.
