DD’s son followed him but none of his players or 4 star recruits. Why?
That gives me slight “pause”. Again, it only takes a few more signees, which will happen, to probably make the angst go away.

The reason it doesn't give me pause is that he was only there a year and brought them on board before the season. It's not like he had years at WV to instill his culture and have any kind of loyalty with his players. They were 1 year rentals for him....

Exactly. Also, he may not have wanted any, thinking he has the chance to upgrade.

So we missed on two and hit on two Enright and Bailey. Actually 3 but we know you won't give credit for Devries 

I’m a DeVries fan.  I’ve made it very clear since he was hired. But people can express their opinions…and if they’re concerned. Who cares? They have the right to be. IUBB hasn’t necessarily given anyone confidence the last 20 years. You’re welcome to, but it’s really not necessary to remark on every comment that expresses concern or frustration.

Burn it down?

Nah. Ride out another half hearted attempt at returning to blue blood status. See if we can blue collar our way back to respectability. We as fans treat the program in a way to make it a top 5 Valuable program while we get top 50-75 results out of it. We should boycott until we have a program to be proud of (won’t happen-we are the Cubs of college basketball). DeVries can get us there but either way the University rakes in money hand over fist while underdelivering.

 

Coaches seem to have eye opening experiences when they become our coach. This has all the feels of a more passionate Archie tenure. But it can’t be that bad, can it?

Are we supposed to throw coach a party for landing a role player from the second worst team in the Big East? And if you can’t understand why Tucker isn’t being touted as a recruiting win then idk what to tell you. He’s a great player, but it’s not like DD went head to head against the top dogs to land him. 

You must be real fun at parties.


Why have a season at this point.

We have two CTC assistants and some MVC guys on staff, that should cheer you up.

Why do you have an issue with people pointing out the concerns that they’re seeing so far?

DeVries job is to get a middle of the pack B1G program competing for conference titles and having more the 1 winning conference record in a 9 year span.    Don’t care how much money a struggling program has they still have to grind to dig their way out of the hole that was made.   No skipping ahead of the line no matter how bad the fans of a mediocre B1G program want to.   Embrace the grind or be miserable.  This is where your program is at and has been at.

You can wave the almighty dollar and sell a vision. That IS his job or his assistants, which he couldn’t convince either. He came to Indiana to have the resources to compete at a higher level.

He clearly missed on his assistant targets. Now he’s clearly missing on his lead targets in the portal.

There are plenty of red flags early.

I am a little worried with the assistants getting the vision/pitch and passing.  It’s still too early to tell on the players.  

For me these are yellow flags (that’s a caution flag for those that don’t watch racing).  Not really the level of red flags yet.

CDD’s pressers/interviews, hires, and slowish start on the roster have not gave me the warm and fuzzies… but what do I know?  It is still early.  This is just a random opinion if people aren’t worried that’s cool too.

Why not? Did he land the assistants people said he’d land? Is he raking in recruits left and right? What was he shown thus far that should give the fans confidence?

Exactly!!!! He is a very particular coach who wants a certain roster and is building a program not a singular team. The same people that are complaining about us not getting anyone would also complain if we got grant gelon type players

Any insiders hearing anything on the Wilkerson visit? I saw a couple UK twitter clowns saying he was texting UK players while on his visit bit I'm confident they're full of ****. Surprised we're not hearing anything on our side yet.
