If we get the assistant coaches from Texas Tech and Bama, what players potentially come with them?

Kevin Overton from Drake/Texas Tech could be a real possibility

It’s a little exhausting getting lectured as a fan of this program . What do you expect when all we have to go on is a consistent barrage of rumors and vague statements we have to decipher. The program has announced officially nothing since hiring thier HC. 
 

I mean look at Texas . They played a a tourney game , fired thier HC , hired a HC , and announced an entire staff and landed a portal committ yesterday . 
 

I don’t think just one bit of official good news is too much to ask in today’s hoops environment. 

The portal commit came with the coach from Xavier. I don't understand why some people have to be so impatient and acting like some drama queens.

And a classy kid with a really good shooting stroke from distance.

I'm not CDD, but if he chose to go after Colvin I'd be really happy.

I've liked what I've seen.Plays hard and like you said seems like a good kid.

I like this kid a lot. I think he has been or is on campus now. 

With how Stirtz played this season and Auburn has a D2 player it is becoming more common for D2 players to play well at the D1 level.

Who is the D2 player at Auburn?

Well, when we don't get Dix, don't let that get closer to the edge. I'm giving you all day to prepare yourself. I have no idea if we are getting him or not, but it seems that IU fans do better when we assume the worst. 

It's going to be a bumpy ride... but we will get there... I trust Coach DeVries... he's rebuilt programs at Drake and W Virginia... so he knows what he's doing here...

Creighton just picked up a high use SG - I've heard it's between us and Creighton for Dix - hopefully this helps?

My post wasn’t reactionary. 
 

People wish-casting and having positive vibes doesn’t do squat to have good results. 

Being negative and pessimistic doesn't either, we have proof of that over the last 20 years

And there are a handful of Players and Coaches I would have loved for DDV bring with him . But the best assistants have all gone elsewhere leading us to only being a candidate for the coaches kid .

He is #31 and comes off the bench. I think he is around 6'8. Will have to look up his name

I think Illinois is our biggest competition. But it sounds like they may be getting Jaylin Sellers soon so who knows what is going to happen.

Lol. There's 1400 players in the portal and that number will reach close to 2000 by the time it closes on 4/22.

This fanbase does nothing but wishcast and have positive vibes till the dam breaks after years of mediocrity.  
 

If you want to be a big boy program you have to big boy program things.  We consistently don’t. We apparently will only spend the money for top tier talent when the coach has already revealed themselves to be incompetent.

If it's not money, then it's likely the coach that players aren't interested in...thrown in with some of the IU dysfunction from recent years...

Or... maybe there are other factors... like wanting to be close to home for family...

Yeah, IU has been dysfunctional for 10 years or more, but the changing of the guard (Buckner/Woodson out, Dolson/DeVries in) will help that. Maybe reputation plays a role, but given the new direction and the desire to hire a "real" college coach is also a factor. Crean was streaky and at times, odd, Archie had the personality of a bag to doorknobs, Woodson was lazy and arrogant... all of that is gone...

I don't think it's going to be as hard of a sell as some think it will be... DeVries has a plan, and we need to let him work that plan. He will win some and lose some, but we're gonna be ok. Coach DD has done it twice, he will do it again.

This fanbase also freaks out until the dam breaks. Neither has had an impact on what ACTUALLY happens with this basketball team.

Chaney Johnson played at Alabama Huntsville before going to Auburn. He is averaging 9 ppg this year for Auburn

What's the amount Indiana Basketball receive in revenue sharing? 

 

$16 million - Indiana Football

$ 6 million - Indiana Basketball

$1 million < remaining amount - Indiana Women's Basketball?

 

Starting July 1st, collectives can't be used to pay players going forward. However, they can have private NIL to athletes. 

The math doesn't work since the revenue sharing cap is $20.5M.

The job of any fanbase is to wishcast and have positive vibes. That’s called supporting the program. It’s equally unproductive to mope about how awful IU is/has been. Is what it is what it is. Gotta dig out of it. Can’t hold the pent up frustration from Archie and Woody against DDV. One miss doesn’t break everything. Let’s see how we feel at end of April.
