Actually, I do understand the silence.  I wasn't looking for rumors or the fall-back position of Big Ten universities.

I was looking for someone on campus that had seen Xavier very recently.  It is completely understandable if there is no answer to my question.  No answer or no update is just that.  No more.

It's cool.

First time in a long time on this board that I can't think of an active poster that's known to be on-campus. We usually have at least one student checking in.

So you’re telling me you want to enroll back to IU?…..thank you for you’re service.

I'll need Old Fart to bump my pay.

Being a Freshman at IU was a very long 6 years of my life.  With over 200 undergraduate credits between IU BS and UW-M BS, that's a lot of BS.  That plus there were 4 years of military stuck in there somewhere.

I would fall on the sword, but I may not like being addressed as Father Time by the youngins.  And I think that the mainframe computer with the decks of punch cards for programming may have changed some. Well, maybe they would accept me in Cultural Anthropology as a TA.  I've got some insight to the late 60's and the Watergate and if I don't remember it all I can make it up.

The transition to Assembly Hall and the early years of RMK were far out.

Asking for a raise, only a few days after having your pay reduced isn't a good look. :)

Also, Hova is clearly not paying attention to best practices for maximizing income.

For my mod duties? I would like to be dismissed with a multi-million check, on the condition that I do not re-appear.

I could be convinced.

Our books are...fluid.

XJ is a big part of what we do but I would think if he were going to miss a conf game, Maryland at home is one of the better draws.

I want in on the fun for no particular reason at all.

Well, don’t shoot the messenger if this isn’t true but I heard from a couple of people that said it wasn’t good news. Few games was the word. 
 

now, I am sure that will blow up and not be true which would be fine with me. I am of the opinion if we are missing him we are in big trouble and that he is way undervalued once again. 

Well, with no attributes, how can we know what you post is based on anything?

On a postgame podcast Todd Leary said he saw Newton in an air cast not too long ago which made him think he won’t play at all this year. I have no idea if he is right but he has been around enough basketball, and  hoops injuries, to make me think Newton probably won’t contribute this year.

Well DAMN! I've been excited about this kid since his commitment. Not saying that I personally have seen something in his game because all I have seen is on TV. Our guards suck out loud and I've never been an XJ fan. Too many peaks and valleys for me but I know someone is gonna reply with something like. Fans want to blame him for bad games and praise him for the good. No worries for me, not a fan. Never been big on him as he likes to call out teammates to the next level out on the floor. It's ok to do this but not the way he goes about it, which seems extreme at times. 

 

I still have hopes for Cupps however, he seems afraid to shoot right now and of course he needs to get stronger/bigger. I mean, he's a coaches kid that's won state championships

If X is out, I have no idea who guards Jahmir Young.  I'm hoping we see some of the zone that we threw against Louisville considering Maryland's shooting woes so far.

Gonna have to be Cupps or go zone. Cupps is too small to guard DHS will need to have Galloway on him. Think zone could be really effective against these guys.

Seems like you already shot yourself^^.

We know you ain’t got sources my man, no need to pretend.

F the turtles!!! I hope Geronimo gets held in check... like him but don't like him leaving IU.

Saw him play last week. He still plays herky/jerky/spazz/irregular like he did at IU. Nevertheless ….. Wished he wouldn’t have left IU though either.

Brandon Gaudin and LaPhonso Ellis will be on the call for Indiana against Maryland on Friday night in the Big Ten opener (7:00 pm ET, BTN).

Woody this morning stated Malik is good to go.  X maybe not so much.

HC Mike Woodson on Xavier Johnson: "We're still evaluating that to see where he is, and if he can't play, it's the next man up"
