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. 

We lose one recruiting/budget battle and this dude just crashes out, lol

I'm genuinely asking a question? Braylon Mullins had the chance to be a Hoosier. He chose UConn. He's never won anything at any level to the point where I've said to myself, "We have to have that kid". Would have been fine with Mullins committing here, but I didn't lose any sleep when he chose UConn, just like I didn't lose any sleep when McRoberts chose Duke. Forgot about him the next day. 

I’ll go along with you ; he spurned IU for the trendy, shiny UConn and their a$$hole coach  so byes bye and enjoy your time there.

This tribalistic rage is weird by some of you.

If we really have a chance at Pharrell Payne that would be amazing. I'd take him over Bidunga any day.

I don't know enough about Bidunga to fully agree, but having to try to play against Payne in the paint seems like it would make for a long day and a sore tomorrow. That dude plays hard and is physical.

No, we have a fanbase that did nothing but ***** about dropping bags for kids who didn't want to be here.  Now, we've had a coach for less than 2 weeks, one guy he probably thought wasn't good enough to overpay for goes somewhere else, and people lose their f'ing minds and want to drop bags again.  I'm guessing Woodson and his family are realizing how fortunate they are to be rid of this nonsense.

Not nearly as fortunate as we are...

No rage, I just don’t root for or have any interest in following players not currently playing at IU. It does seem other state’s

premier players take more interest in staying in state than Indiana players though.

Good to see a formal commitment, now maybe the dominos start to fall. Once guys start committing you get momentum. Let's go

Rabby's trying to find significance/justification for his own existence...

Yeah but the people who calling out the warning signs early had the benefit of being right. Sticking your head in the sand and hoping doesn’t help 

For you, is being right about being bad a silver lining or just a crutch to keep oneself from completely losing their marbles? 

What it really looks like is an inability to cope with possible disappointment and therefore a way to be in a win-win.

If the team sucks: "See? I was right, I was right! Go look at what I said!"

If the team has success: "Well I'm happy to be wrong. Yay! I still get to enjoy a good team!"

 

Don't take a crap on the fans who are willing to go out on a limb for their team.

Rabby confirmed that elyjah freeman visited yesterday

Duke, UK, UNC, Kansas etc rosters are stuffed, every year, with premier players that were not interested in staying in-state.

Does Payne only have a year of eligibility left? If so then yeah that may he a reason to pursue Bidunga instead.

I've just always been impressed with Payne. Such a beast.

Payne only has one year, yes. 

I'm not complaining, I'll take either... more than 1 yr is appealing though.

Guy another site (an ILL fan) says Dix to ILL soon

I used to be more interested in portal guys with two years left, instead of one, but have come to the conclusion that it doesn’t make any difference as players are increasingly moving pretty much every year.

If Enright is your starting PG (which I believe he can be ) then you need a lights out shooting 2 guard (yes Dix would fit perfectly but doesn’t seem to be happening) a well rounded scoring / shooting athletic wing . And a Big Man that can consistently get 12 and 9 to be a competitive Big Ten team in year 1 . 
 

Hopefully the dead period they get the chance to formally finalize and announce the staff and really zero in on guys in the portal who you need to put together a starting 5 then bench pieces . 
 

Gonna have to hit the ground running out of the dead period . Nice to have some good news feel a bit better but still a little shaky. Really thought we’d hit at least one HR before the April 7th date  not sure Enright qualifies but it is better than nothing .
