It’s very likely the NCAA isn’t going to put up a big fight. In an era where the NCAA has given out 6th and 7th year waivers like candy, giving Goode a 5th year after only playing 3 and 1/3 seasons doesn’t seem totally far-fetched. 

I do hope that’s the case and they don’t fight it!

I have my hopes up for J'Kobi Gillespie. But you're right. Enright is a back-up 15mpg guy familiar with the system and someone to set the practice habits bar. If we march out a starting lineup with him in it, we hired the wrong coach. 

Especially with the NIL numbers that are being mentioned for IU. I know this takes a bit of time, but what's even taking his son so long to officially commit? I'm mean, seriously?

I assume he has to technically be granted the extra year and until that happens he can’t commit?

Why do people keep saying Goode? It’s literally a very small percentage that he is granted an extra year unless he sues the NCAA which means we won’t probably know until fall if he wins so they need to recruit like they don’t have him. He played in February and beginning of March. That’s after when NCAA grants the extra year.

To add on to AH's reply, the reason the NCAA probably won't fight it is because there is a good chance they'd lose the lawsuit. Having to defend why 10 games played at the beginning of the season versus 10 games played at the end of the season is a losing proposition since that is an arbitrary distinction as both players miss the same amount of games. The NCAA is probably starting to recognize lawsuits they won't win.

Just shows how dumb some of the NCAA rules are for sure and I hope Goode sets precedent for himself and everyone else because you both make great points

Even if that lineup wins a sh!tload of games and Enright is a positive contributing factor for that winning?

You know something that I gleaned from the "3 guys" podcast. DD had already formulated his off-season plan in terms of portal and knew in advance several players he was going to pursue long before the season had ended. That's interesting. To answer your question, I would be happy of course. But in college basketball the most important position on the court is PG and had he had Connor Enright instead of Javon Small I don't think they would've been as successful. Now he has 3x the money to work with.

It’s been three days in the portal and people are already acting like children.  People need to take a Xanax.

I’ll also add when the games are played doesn’t matter in football. So the NCAA’s own rules contradict themselves from sport to sport. 
 

sorry if anyone in here works at the NCAA, but that organization is an absolute joke.

I thought people would relax some now that the coaching search is over and IU has a competent coach in place. 

It just seems that some people like drama. 

Maybe they should stop worrying about IUBB and just watch the Kardashians for the rest of the off-season instead. LOL

Do you have extra? I don't feel like I need one yet but if your giving them out, I'll take some

Yes, there are very few portal commits right now.  Just having Tucker DeVries (I get he may not be official, but he is 100% IU) puts us ahead of most schools right now.

Still got 8 teams playing in the Big Dance.  How many more names will enter next Monday?

Forget the number 8.  Still got a bunch of teams playing.

Gotta keep @Dave from Dayton happy.

I can only guess, but probably not a lot, at least the good players — these programs are obviously doing well and most of them have healthy resources to keep their key guys.

They are going to have to institute caps, and they need to be reasonable. A college degree is still a valuble asset and should still be an important part of the process!

Why does their have to be caps? Is there a cap on revenue or something?

My guess is a lot of the steam picks up next week

So Owen Freeman committed to Creighton yesterday but Josh Dix didn’t butttt with Pop Isaacs entering the portal I think Dix probably commits soon to Creighton. If we can get either/or  I’d be very happy with that start

Someone said that Kansas has jumped in with Dix

Makes sense that Kansas loves Dix.
