walkable neighborhoods... 

I mean like... if I really wanted to walk from Memorial Stadium, drunk (as a college kid), to.... Kilroys. I could do that. Not really an issue, it's "walkable" 

Austin resemble that at all? 

.....lol!!! Walkable yes,........but man, drunk..... I'd be lucky to make it to the old Village Pantry,( now Grab n' Go) right past the RR tracks bridge! lol

Take a Xanax 

I am fine don't need a Xanax. I do expect to be a winning program next season or my pitchfork will be at the ready.

Too many to name, but the hub, taj, galaxie, saints, oshea's (all 3 of them), gerstles, tin roof, fox den, flanagans, garage bar, molly malones, west sixth, and several more right next to the Yum center like troll pub, merle's, barrel bar, etc. also higher end cocktail bars like Neat, last refuge, nada nada, hell or high water, north of bourbon, copper & kings, hotel genevieve, gerties. 

Didn't know much about Louisville before moving there but i was impressed with their food/bar options

For sure. I don't really think it's that great of a college town, solid places to drink and eat, though.

Grew up there.  It isn’t safe.  Never has been and never will be!  Period!

I may be in the minority but I have zero patience and expect results immediately. There is no time for no dang rebuild. The administration has imo made this worse by waiting a year to long. Other schools have had success year one with a new coach and team. I don't care if he gets a group of 5 stars or had to get walkons to step in. We better be winning right now!

Would you consider the year that L'ville or Kentucky had a "successful" year?

Define winning right now. Does it mean competing for a National Championship next year? S16? Comfortably in the tournament? Better than .500 in conference? 

I think most expect IU to better than recent years next year. Upper half of the B1G and comfortably in the tournament in year 1.

People in this fanbase don’t like baby steps.  Let’s first make the tourney and consider that a success.  I truly believe building a 100% from the portal or getting recruits last minute is a success every year.  You have to have an infrastructure.

Word is Enright is in B-town now. Glad he's still making the visit after his Iowa visit.

Conwell started following Tucker DeVries today, doesn’t mean much but figured I’d note it

Yes that is closer to my expectations. Infact we play kentucky next year I believe. We better be getting players and building a team ready to be competitive with them. If we are losing games like that by 20 plus I will not be a happy camper. And I believe the majority won't be either. We pay players now this isn't the same atmosphere any coach has ever walked into our job in.

....have to admit, having the opportunity to play along side a "gun-slinger" like Tucker can definitely help on the recruiting trail.

Yes we do play them. They have another full rebuild to do as well.

So he is following 50% of our team for next year. Good sign!

....Nothing wrong with what I said, what so ever!

....great players want to play with great players! Obviously.... The problem are the ones who don't want to share the limelight with other just as good or better that them. Coach DeVries is looking for a multiple gunslingers that want to play team ball......

Igor on X: "Conor Enright is in Bloomington right now. Great sign for Coach Devries and his program after there were doubts around this visit coming to fruition over the weekend. #IUBB" / X

Per this "newer" account...Enright on campus currently.

Not surprised but Xavier Booker in the portal . Hasn’t developed during his time in East Lansing . Gotta think the Drew Adams and Indiana Elite connections make him a possibility for IU if they don’t get Flory . If the staff think thier is untapped talent and potential there . Idk personally I’ll leave that to the experts . 
 

Ant Wright in X always seemed to think he wasnt getting a fair shake and should have played more in his time at MSU ,

Izzo did an awesome job last year.  Bookers problem is he doesn’t play hard all the time and doesn’t put in the work.  People who have coached him or coaches don’t think he loves basketball enough.
