247 Illinois Board thinks Jaylin sellers is about to commit to them at any moment, could also help us in the Dix department 

They don't know sh!t.   He committed to Providence today.

Could you imagine if he spent $4m on Conwell and $2.5m on Dix and $3m on DeVries and $1.5m on Goode. Let’s just say IU has $12m to spend. That’s already $11m. He doesn’t get the luxury of already having a mostly full team like others do so people just have to be patient and let him build a roster.

That's funny you think DeVries is getting money.  Brother maybe gets his own T Shirt and his dad's allowance.

Don't get your hopes up. Probably Auburn or he stays at Kansas.

Dix was going to Iowa, Indiana, or Illinois.

These are ridiculous numbers, probably not close to the real amounts.

I don’t even know what expectations mean for a first year coach. There’s no stumble so bad that it could put his job in jeopardy. He works for IU so he could miss the tourney 3 straight years and he’s getting a 4th. 
 

But I guess for me personally, I know what Woodys general expectations were last year when allowed to buy his own team. I know what a few first year coaches did at our aspirational peers last year. So if CDD can’t match those markers, I’ll be looking for answers why just to satisfy my own curiosity. 

He's making the tourney next year.  Book it.

I really wish I could find the post of all the awesome players that came out of the portal that were ranked waaaay below the players we got last year. As long as our coach can scout, we shouldn’t worry about the rankings.

Not only can he scout, he can coach. He'll take a bunch of lunch bucket guys and at least make the tournament.  Patience everyone.  

PS:  And I want an announcement of something more than anyone.  :)

Begs the question.  Could a coach just happen to enter a Starbucks where a recruit also just happened to be and they each open up their laptops and conduct a Zoom meeting from across the room?  

Kelvin Sampson enters the chat.  :)

I just want a new name to obsess over lmao

Fine, get your hopes up even though there's no indication he has any interest in IU. Have fun with that. Make sure you come complain on the board when he ends up at somewhere not IU.

Depends if Adam Schefter and Jordan Shultz show up at the same time or not.  You might not get much done, pretty dangerous place in Indiana.

We’re going through everything today. We lost our Dix, but still have a chance to put our junk in everyone’s face with our portal haul. 

Things I can't unsee.  Thanks.

Who exactly have I complained about not getting?   The 4 time transfer or the kid who wants to be close to his mom with cancer so much he is playing with a dude he hates?  Not sure I've cared about either but you can check my post history.

What a lot of IU fans need to do right meow...

It's all gonna be just fine and we will all be hyped. This is a fan based that hyped themselves into believing Tim Priller could ever contribute. I think we can handle this.

No way his dad blows any budget on him in a make or break first season.  It would be stupid.  The fact he isn't getting much has already been alluded by a few folks in the know.
