Especially those bungholes.

When exactly was their national championship window open?

Agree that it is the future. 
 

Disagree about those guys though. They have GMs but overt authority. In other words the GM is just a guy who works for May.  I’m not sure that’s the case here with Carr and probably why someone like Carr would come.  
 

For fans of pro sports this has been like a 25 yr year saga of coaches wanting to do both roles, great coaches having the juice to become their own GMs, and then mostly failing. It’s why Jerry West left the Lakers. But by now almost everyone concedes it’s two distinct full time jobs at the pro level and even great coaches have little chance of exerting authority over the GM in matters of personnel.  
 

It was the future of the pros. It will likely be the same in college. I think IU is possibly ahead—way ahead—of the curve on this one. 

The reality is the head Coach and GM have to work hand in glove to be successful.  If the GM is giving the coach players that don't fit his style, only trouble results. 

CDDV tells Carr, we need a big man.  Carr give him the ranks of all the bigs available, they review and discuss positives/negatives, and then pull someone like Samet Yigitoglu out of their a$$.  : ]

Carr works for DeVries.  DeVries has final say in roster construction.  That was reported when he was hired

Honestly who cares. We have the number 1 transfer class now idc who’s in charge of it. Sign of a good leader is hiring competent people and Carr is probably the most accomplished GM in college so good job Devries

Tomorrow 

I think some of the staff is in Indy tonight so it would make sense for it to be tomorrow. Not sure what’s going on but was told at least one coach is doing something out of town.

Maybe the entire nation can embrace firing Izzo.  MSU because he’s lost the snake oil.  And the rest of us because he’s a piece of ****

I’m sure we all know IU’s never reported a half truth in the media to save face.

I see now that we can't argue about player quality, we are now arguing about who gets the most credit for the quality players we are getting.  

At least its a change of pace.

Could be that he or his agent wanted to give suitors one last chance to have the high bid.  No reason to believe yet that anyone has offered a more lucrative deal.

Watching The Turkish Towers highlights. From his frosh to soph year a nice jump. He keeps it simple. A surprisingly good feel for the game. He knows how to set up early, get behind his man and drive him up the lane for position. Soft baby hook with the right. The counter back to the left looks slow and deliberate. He runs the floor well for 7'2 270. He tries to jam everything.  Has some nasty to him. 

Good day in the portal. It's what we deserve.

Where our GM has an advantage is being able to map the agencies that rep these guys and contact them at any time. It's legal tampering. I would say Coach's familiarity with that part of it was lacking. In the end Coach has to close the deal. So it probably looks a little bit like an NFL war room somewhere in that building. I'm not so sure he's in the trenches much though. Nor should he be.

Of course, Dan weighed in.

Might be time for Dakich to give up social media if he's now being triggered by "let's work" posts.
