It will be interesting to see who leaves in the portal, if any.  I assumed that Banks and Gunn might look for more playing time elsewhere.  However, playing time might cost them money.  I believe bench players at IU make more than starters at smaller schools. Cupps could transfer and not worry about NIL because he was doing well NIL wise prior to attending IU. If Cupp leaves it will be because he and his dad don't think Woodson's offense is a fit for Gabe.  IU NIL would match any NIL offers to Reneau and MgBako, so if they leave it would most likely to be closer to home or scheme fit.    

You would think if they’re going to hit the portal, it would be sooner than later, though, but points well taken.. maybe they’re well paid and more content than we know.

Im excited to see what seed the Hoosiers get tonight. 
 

Oh wait, Mike Woodson too busy doing his job tonight. 

We got it early…we’re special.

I’ll admit, before this season started and we got a group of transfers, I was excited. I was like ok cool we’ve got this new group of players who are supposed to be really good, we’ll look like a completely different team, this ought to be fun. Now that I’ve seen the result of doing such things with this staff, I just can’t fathom having any type of excitement for anything no matter who they get through the portal with Woodson. I really really can’t stand not looking forward to IU basketball. I used to schedule some of my vacation days around certain games they had on the schedule, but now if they have games on days I have off, I look for overtime any chance I get lol. Game days took forever because I was anxiously awaiting tipoff. Now I just check my phone for the score to see if they happen to be winning or not. Just so damn sad and beyond frustrating.

For you still holding out hope, you'll have to hold your breath until 6:00 Monday evening.  If there's no good news by then (and it's highly unlikely), all your continued rants and raves will be nothing more than

      Woody effectively gave us the middle finger Senior Night.

Jerry's update will likely be depressing. I'm predicting Dolson has communicated his frustration to Woodson, and has clearly laid out expectations for next year.

Ultimately, nothing will change the fact Woodson will return, so everything else is just unimportant details.

Either way I want the details of what’s going on

Reminder that the portal doesn’t officially open until tomorrow

Okay, what’s at 6 pm Monday evening?

I would imagine players hitting the portal would be announcing that anytime now.

Guys, I am announcing that I am hitting the portal.  I am accepting offers to be a True Fan to the highest bidder (except Purdue).  Hit me up.

Probably that meetings have been made with coaches and players and if there’s no movement then nothing to report really.

There is nothing to report.  We are getting Woody-ball for another year.  So delay any thoughts of this program being anywhere near where you all would like it to be for another 3 to 4 years (at least).

Sigh…it’s going to be a loooooooooooong year isn’t? March 2025 can’t get here soon enough.

If there are no changes to the coaching staff, other than hiring Kenny Payne to be GM, we will know exactly who has the power in the basketball program.

It certainly appears that Dolson has zero power and Woodson doesn’t have to answer to him. Why would he even care what Dolson has to say?

I've been a fan since Knight was hired and can't remember a game in that period that I didn't watch all the way through or listened to if it wasn't televised.No mater how bad we played.I always had hope we could improve.

 This third time being dominated by a decent Nebraska team changed that and I walked away early in the second half.I see no chance for this program to improve under this leadership.I even changed my handle from my all time favorite player to the current one. He's tarnished my long time admiration beyond repair.Not by losing games but with the arrogance while doing it.

Glory Days, don't let them pass you by! Sadly I'm afraid that's where we are and it's an extremely deep hole to ever dig out from.  ):

Indiana was 1-8 in teams over .500 in the Big Ten. Mike Woodson doing his job!

Pish posh. Nobody beats a dead horse like BTB when we put our minds to it.

I just got back from two grocery stores and didn’t see Mike Woodson at either. Might be a sign. 
 

Or he says if groceries want to be eaten by Mike Woodson then they have to come to Mike Woodson.
