Players can tweet whatever they want, but I’d prefer to leave the Mike Woodson “woe is us, it’s the fans fault” mentality in the rearview mirror, and Goode was a part of that. We don’t need him with the guys DD has brought in. 

I'd like to have someone on the staff, whether it's the head coach or someone else, that's well-versed in social media and can get these guys to understand how to pick their battles. I'd rather not have guys tweeting and arguing with fans after losses. TJD and Race did that a lot.

I see all this worry about our size on the frontline.  Villanova 2018 says hello.  They crushed everyone through the tournament with not one person over 6'9 I believe.

I’m sorry but comparison that is really funny sh!te.

That Villanova team had 7 (SEVEN), yes 7, did I mention SEVEN,  guys that were drafted by the NBA.

“Are you guys gay?” Quote from RMK. Funniest thing Knight said in years. No coach…we are just clowns. 

Yep.

Knight was absolutely hilarious !?!?!?

Nothing funnier than a gay joke.

Man, the world is filled with morons.

Eh, bygones. That was a young man doubling down on his team at the time. Yes, he's an adult. But barely, and they're all fairly malleable at that age because they still don't know jack about people and the real world. He played his butt off down the stretch regardless. He may have said things people didn't like but he didn't stop competing. He won't continue the Woodson mentality, especially under DeVries. And if he were really the type, I'm confident coach would spot that from a mile away and would have already told him 'thanks but no thanks'. His value as a glue guy veteran for this pot luck roster far outweighs anything he partook in during Mike Woodson's Massacre.

Just refer them to Kevin Durant's social media presence and remind them that's what soft and distracted looks like off the court.

Stephon Payne, Federiko Federiko, and Leo Curtis. I'm thinking we get two of them.

THAT argument I can somewhat understand, but none of us have been in the position that the kids on the team had to deal with the past year (two years for some).

It takes a tremendous toll on the psyche of the team, and whatever you can do to help your team and improve the locker room dynamic, you do it. I never took Luke Goode's comments as "taking shots" at the fans. I understood that he was just trying to stick up for his coaches and teammates, because they needed it at the time.

I didn't like it. He could've worded it better. But I also think that the things we saw him do in games to coach up his teammates and give effort and focus at crucial moments demonstrated that he is the sort of player that any smart coach would want on their team. He's a glue guy and a vocal leader. And I think that's what he was trying to do when he made those comments, ill-advised as they may have been.

I'm more than happy to put those comments in the rearview mirror, but he'd be welcomed back with open arms in my book.

I agree - with the caveat that I’m all for players, coaches… anybody really… putting Dakich in his place after he calls them out. Hopefully DDV gets them tuning out that noise or using it as motivation instead of self pity.

Best way to put Dakich in his place? Don’t respond. He’s a click bait troll. Goode fell for it. That should tell you why they should stay off social media. It’s full of troll accounts and click baiters. Dakich got what he wanted so he could do the “told ya”. The football team was an example of how you handle social media.

I expect CDD’s teams to have few, if any, issues with social media.  His previous teams didn’t have problems from what I can tell.  CDD would reprogram Goode and fix whatever Luke picked up from Woody.

CDD’s program culture should lead to players being focused such that they naturally tune out all the noise — from hostile road crowds to trolls on social media.  It should be very refreshing to see.

I like that he was on the all-freshman team in his conference. If he comes, he would have 3 years eligibility left and wouldn’t be counted on much, allowing him time to grow and get ready for the following season.

Anyone hearing anything about any centers? Been fairly quiet from what I can tell.

I do like the youth, we finally have a few players who could come back after next season now haha 

[Hoosierfanyuh 6,780]

My wishful thinking is we’re choosing him over a dezmon Briscoe type

So it looks like Rabby thinks IU will add 2 more and save the final scholly for Goode. 1 of the 2 will likely be a big then the other maybe the guy from Greece (best available) or a freshman.

Josh Harris has some decent stats and 3 years of eligibility. I wouldn't be upset at landing him, though I was hoping for another 4/5 guy and he doesn't look big enough for that.
