Not only that but Alabama is still playing. We were told iu could not play and do the portal at the same time. Unreal.

No, INDIANA could, but Woodson could not. He was too busy doing his job.

We are the arkansas of the transfer portal.  hopefully the big staff has some masterplan in mind.  It's going to take a minor miracle.  

It sounds like the portal isn’t going to be as easy as Woodson thought. Just cause you have money doesn’t mean you’ll gain traction with everyone

ok but who wants our players in the portal? lol. no offense to them but...They aren't going to a bigger program and get minutes. Their options are probably to go to a smaller school and actually play but make way less money or none at all. Right? 

I'd guess all three go to a mid-major for far less money that they're getting here. Of course, I'd also suspect that Woodson is using low-ball NIL to "crean" a few guys.

Possibly MgBako's spot too.  That would leave us with Leal, Cupps, Reneau, Galloway, and Newton as returning scholarship players.

I don't even really count Newton cause we have no idea if he will even be able to play at a big ten level. He has not played in two years

Great. That's one more thing that Woodson will be blindsided by.

[Chris007]

Rabby is saying that should be it for the portal for Indiana.

Ware & Mgbako will declare but at least Mgbako should be back. 

Reneau and Cupps coming back unless something drastically changes

He won’t know. He’ll be on the golf course.

So 2 starters, 1 guy who played way more than he should have due to having no other options, 1 guy who didn't play as much as he should have but should still play only limited minutes, and 1 guy that hasn't played in 2 years. Why do I not feel optimistic?

An offense from the stone age doesn't help.

Not everyone goes into the portal voluntarily. Some are pushed out. But also if a kid wants to play, he should go someplace where he can play.

This is my thinking, spring Creaning because given everything we have heard from Woody I think he genuinely believes he can rebuild the roster buying better players and be successful next season. We are like three weeks removed from the "inside-out" comment and a couple from "I have done my job" and one from "not enough talent." Cognitive dissonance is helluva drug.

Woody gonna try to back up the brinks truck for Ware isn’t he?  lol.

I still don't see how he is going to get any good guards unless all they care about is money. He has nothing to sell them but money

Kids don't know who Carmelo Anthony is nor do they care. Kids don't want to play in a boring offense that's bottom of Division 1. 

Fire Woodson!

Yeah, the "not enough talent" thing sticks in my craw. He had THREE 5-stars and more "stars" than anyone in the B1G conference. Maybe if he tried a more current scheme he'd have a chance. Or, just be stubborn and keep losing. 

[JSHoosier]

Minimum of 6, likely 7 open spots to fill. The staff got one good one last year. Yeah, what could possibly go wrong.

IF he does that, he won't have any money left for the rest of the spots on the team. He's handing cash out like Oprah at Christmas.

With at least 2 of them, maybe 3 of them needing to be starters
