I'll throw in a vouch for https://19nine.com . I think they're out of Evansville? Not a huge selection, but some really cool stuff. I've purchased from them before and it's good quality.

Edit: I hadn't been on their site in a while. The selection is approaching huge.

Yes all the good IU gear isn’t Adidas… I was mad about the selection so I even had custom quarter zips made. Don’t have a website but have sold 10+ of them, even to a prominent podcaster, just by them seeing me wearing it and wanting one. 
 

Also I am a Nike shareholder so @Ngw7183 thank you for your service. I only buy from Nike.

Today's scorebugs suck. Old ones are better and they didn't even have team logos.

We are a top NIL school at least I think we are and can't even get in the top 25.  I hope things change because if we think this year is bad what's in store for next year?

I think we have taken the wrong approach to recruiting.  IU would be better served by trying to recruit players in the 40-150 range who plan on being in college 3 to 4 years.  Then we can add a top 25 guy once you have your foundation built.  We aren't Duke or Kentucky that can bring in 4 or 5 top 30 players each year.  Ware and Mgbako seem like good young men, but if they leave after this year what have we accomplished?  Adding multiple one year mercenaries out of the portal does not build a program or a culture.  

Woodson's age doesn't help anything.  He doesn't have the time to build a program the right way.  Also, I think he prefers to use the portal like NBA free agency than to recruit and develop younger players.

Need to to both, right.  We have a ton of potential open spots next year -- 4 to as many as 8.  And 1 signee.  After 3 years, total fail on Woodson not having a stable of solid HS talent coming in -- 3-4 guys to build off of.  Going to get rough folks.

Still blows my mind that Rutgers bagged 2 of the top 10 in that class.

Why can't this kind of stuff happen at IU games?

And Ace Bailey is incredible. Might be best in the class.

I'm pretty sure it was a player that went over there.

And he'll average 10ppg at Rutgers.

Maybe. Probably more like 14-15. Either way he’s talented. Think he’s a 1ndone shoe in. Good for us.

Im not sure how any recruit could watch any Pikiell coached team and think "that'd be fun to play in."

Use your blinkers people. Let's at least try to become civilized society.  Using your blinkers is also another form of cardio so there's a double bonus  if you feel it's not worth it.

Well our players are working on their shot before the game.  :)

Painter was in attendance tonight for a player he's already signed. 

 

If Woodson wasn't on the cusp of retirement, I'd tell him to take note, THAT is what a high energy recruiter looks like.

Well,  sometimes he has to continue recruiting players that had already committed because they started making overtures about not playing at Purdue.

Looking at you, Kanon Catchings.

High school basketball in Indiana has a running clock rule for 35 point leads in the second half of games.  That's fine with me.

Once you get to the fourth quarter, that's time to get your subs/JV players that are dressing and have a quarter to play time on the court -- particularly if you are the team in front.

If you are the team ahead and are still pressing....your coach is kind of dick.  But at least I can understand it.....I guess.....if you want to give your players 'time to run your system' (although the players in the game should be mostly JV guys who are already running that system in JV games).

But....if the trailing team has pulled their starters and is playing their JV/subs while the leading team has all five starters and is pressing in the fourth, your coach is a piece of ****.  Witnessed it in a high game tonight, winning team was ahead 38 to start the fourth quarter and kept their starters in and pressing against a team that had pulled their starters and did so until there were about three minutes to go.
