Looks like this is what IU will be looking at as of now.

Cupps, Newton, Reneau, Mgbako, Galloway, Leal, and 6-7 transfers

That would be 100% best-case scenario.

Keeping four end-of-year starters and program continuity, and then adding talent to challenge/replace them?

Given the circumstances that would be impressive.

Yikes. So basically we need 5 new guys to fill a 8 man rotation. Not ideal. 

The duality of...fan.

CMW is an x’s and o no’s coach. Maybe we could run BLOBs for every play. 

Maybe they meant that he likes to play tic-tac-toe against himself during game planning meetings.

I should bite my tongue but I was once told I had the tact of a charging @$$ and I took it as a compliment.

So what that Leal got paid $5,833/point.  In the new norm, every scholarship player is gonna get paid.  I don't like it but it is what it is and moaning and groaning what any one player got paid is just pointless.  

The comments Trey and Anthony made at Senior Night would not have been so negatively received had not Mediocre Mike flipped off the fans and already set a bad tone.  But even at that how can everyone be so upset being told to "chill"?  I'd wager some of you have children who have told you to "chill" or a similar word and you don't give it a second thought.

If you don't make a habit of it, read through the game threads and see the comments that are directed at our players.  Not just 1 or 2 but every one of them have repeatedly been brow beaten and degraded at some point in the season.  Sure they made bonehead plays and demonstrated low bball IQ at times but for the greatest part of the season I truly believe they played as hard and as good as they could with the skill levels they have.  Not their fault roster construction was the pits.  Not their fault the style of play Woody insisted on playing didn't play to individual strengths.  And some of you are upset you were told to "chill."  In hindsight, I wish Anthony had used some kind of words far worse than "chill".  FO or KMA come to mind. 

I told my wife to chill!

Didn't go over very well.

Let me preface by saying that I'm not off the Fire Woodson wagon..

If IU lands Javon Small and a talented center (or Ware's Return) then IU will be top 25 good next season. Javon Small, the savior of IUBB!

Top 25 on paper...sure. Being ranked in February, with Woodson coaching, i would take that bet

[Hornsby 2,047]

I still won't be totally surprised if Reneau puts his name in the portal to just see. 

I can see Mr coming back if money is all he is interested in. But without ware down low he will foul out of most games in the first half.

I don't know if anyone has said this today. Just in case:

Fire Mike Woodson!

Really no different than last summers talk. Gunn and banks will be major contributors. This team will be better than last years team. I would not want to play us come March. Woodson finally has his roster. Same talk every offseason but it never really materializes. Woodson is still the coach so expect underachieving.

When Glenn Gass turned the classroom lights out and played Brian Wilson singing "Caroline No" it may have been the single greatest classroom moment I had at IU.

I have no idea who Glenn Gass is but it sounds like I missed a lot.

Did any of you have Prof Kennedy in CJus where he hypnotized the whole class?  Dude that was awesome

If you're talking about giving directly to IU, you're not involved with filling the players' pockets.

If you're talking about giving to NIL collectives, that seems like pretty easy discretionary spending to cut if people don't think they're getting their money's worth.

I don't give anything to the school anymore nor will I ever donate to an NIL.  You haven't even really seen me complaining about what the kids are pulling in (I think it is flipping stupid but whatever, not my money...)

I was just saying that when you start getting paid for that kind of stuff and the funding is coming from the fans, criticism related to dollars is going to start up.  I think that is exacerbated even more when you start to get chippy with the fanbase like has happened here as well.

NIL is a rip off to me personally.  It isn't worth it.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's getting nudged out. 

[Josh 12,649]

If true that Banks and Gunn will transfer then I'm even madder at Woody for getting them run against Nebraska.  He should have given minutes to those that are going to stay

Huh? It's not your money they're being paid with. Other people think it's a worthwhile use of their money.

You didn't take any History of Rack N Roll classes or the Beatles or Elvis or any music classes?

I don't disagree with you at all, but jeeeeeezus, what else has to happen this season to convince them? The things I listed are just the cherry on top of all the other sh*t that has happened this season.

My fear is that in order for Woodson’s staunchest (and wealthiest) supporters to give in and let the AD make a change, it may take another season of not making the NCAAT.

If so, I also fear that the job will no longer be as attractive to potential coaches as some IU fans think it would be, even with the compensation, tradition, facilities and NIL involved (and presumably the NIL might go down with Woodson’s exit).

It could be a scenario where no “proven” or  established coach would want to take on what might be (by next March) a major reclamation project, portal or no portal. Dolson might then have to just roll the dice  with an assistant from a successful P5 program who’s not been a head coach, or with a guy who has a successful HC resume at a lower level.

I remember that option now.  I took Bass Fishing Techniques in Woodburn instead.  A+ stuff there

History of Rock N Roll was my favorite course I ever took through 4 years of college. Amazing.

Fair enough, and 100% agreed with your first and last paragraphs, but you saying "it is when you're the one filling the pockets..." made me think otherwise. I just think complaining/caring about what someone makes is goofy, personally.

History of RR and the Beatles were the best classes I took at IU. Lol
