Probably so because Ware & Mgbako will opt out to get ready for the NBA draft. Gunn & Banks won’t play because they’ll be in the portal, and Galloway is hurt. 

The transfer portal is going to absolutely be the death of the NIT.  Quite a shame.

Nit is good for most schools. Personally I'd like to see the Hoosiers never accept the NIT.

I agree!

So, if I’m understanding your point, IU fans are why we can’t recruit? Not the shitty basketball we play? And your logic is, IU has been terrible at picking coaches, so instead of finally going after a proven, winning coach, we keep Woodson because they might mess up again?
Fans of elite programs laugh at IU fans for accepting bad results. It’s why IU is a bottom tier sports program.

You still watching for Billy Donovan's plane? Maybe Brad will quit the Celtics for IU.

You fired the best coach you were ever going to have, then ran the second best out over phone calls with the holier than thou claim of integrity. So, tell me why you can't get a tier 1 coach again?

@Uspshoosier says shut your mouth.

Honestly, though, last year's final four of the NIT was really entertaining.

Because even tho we suck Right now with a crappy coach, we are still Indiana.  A sleeping giant just waiting to wake up. That's why a coach would come here if dolson would make the movie.  Throw money at a top 10 coach and just end this crap with sleepy woody.

I’m not Zach Edey and going to the G league.

Zach is getting drafted.  Will probably be the picked somewhere between The Miz and Richochet.  Not sure if he will be on Raw or Smackdown, but I think he's got a face for Mondays and not Fridays so I would go with Raw.

BTN announcers just said that OSU doesn't have any bad loses except for the home lose to IU. I mean, they're right, but it hurts to hear. It was the last straw that got Holtmann fired.

They also said that it was a Quad 3 or 4 lose. Quad 3? Yes. Quad 4? Not even close. IU is not good this year but they're nowhere near Quad 4 bad.

Sampson fired himself.  All he had to do was not cheat.  Sampson was caught cheating at Oklahoma and promised IU that it wouldn't happen again.  The NCAA handed down 5-year show cause penalty to Sampson, so it was a big deal.  There is no doubt that Sampson could have been a great coach here.  He chose to throw that opportunity away.  Don't blame the university for expecting their coaches to play by the rules. I would be embarrassed if we didn't have high standards.

You do realize that he inherited an All-American talent in TJD.  You do realize that we were blown out in the round of 64 one year and the round of 32 the next.  You do realize that the Big Ten is not good this year and we struggled.  You do realize that Painter won the Big Ten starting 2 freshmen guards last year.  Make all the excuses you want for coach Woodson.  I have higher standards for the program.  

And he hasn't bothered recruiting for 2024-25 or beyond. He's counting on the Simons' and Cook's money for NIL in the portal. Apparently these time consuming relationships with HS kids and recruiting trips cuts into his golf, wine and cigar time.

What is a Gojko? If it’s good then yes I am, if bad then no 

Wasn't Gojko the guy that sued IU over the Bob Knight firing?  Something about IU violating the open-door meeting law. He led a contingent of IU fans that became Texas Tech fans.  I could be wrong.

Nope, some IU fans are toxic when they boo players/ coaches at games, or they get grossly upset to the point of claiming a player was bribed to do his senior speech. That's the definition of toxic. That's the definition of why it's hard to recruit, or get a tier 1 coach to IU. That's just one reason, but certainly the one most visible to those outside the IU realm, why we'll remain irrelevant in college basketball.

Sometimes change is good, but IU's never been good at it, at least since RMK left. With this administration, what makes you think it will magically be better next time?

So are you actually blaming "toxic" fans for Woodson's inability or lack of interest in recruiting? I have NO problem booing a coach who gets $4+M/year and underperforms and blows off recruiting. He deserves that and more.

As far as not getting a tier 1 coach? Look at the administration and the BoT for your answers to that one. BTW, I inferred from your comment that you agree that Woodson is not a tier 1 coach. We all know have know that from Woodson's year one.

So, did the NCAA fire Sampson? Why are Self and Calipari still coaching? Same game, different trophy. IU couldn't handle the bad publicity and made it go away. In the process, created a self imposed death penalty that's lasted nearly 20 yrs.

LMAO......my Dad grew up in a home next to the stadium in Bloomington. We listened to every game together on the radio. I've rooted for IU since McCracken coached. I've got friends who played for RMK and know someone very connected to IU basketball. So yes, that makes me a Purdont jockstrap.
