Yep we’ll see. We know he beat out UK for Wilkerson. That’s actual head to head recruiting so far. Personally I think he demonstrated good coaching acumen, and he brings an established history of building teams up. He disappointed for sure in the end of season collapse but how much of that was on the lack of depth of talent? 
Very interested to see how the portal recruiting goes, what players are emphasized, how big a role and impact does Carr play and bring, what other changes in approach will we see? Big off season. Needs to score some real impact players

What off the court?  The fact that he tried to get two really high end assistant coaches last year?  The fact he got on a plane early in the morning to make one final pitch to Wilkerson to get him from Kentucky?  The fact he's at tons of these AAU tournaments this season?  The fact that he stole a big recruiter from Louisville?

The fact he tried for so many elite 26s and didn’t land a single one.

The fact his scout led to recruiting and building a team that was never going to be good. He built an entire team.  Recruited 1 good player.

Dude, we get it, you haven't liked Devries from the jump. No, this past year wasn't good enough. But let's just wait and see how this portal season turns out. We'll know where the program stands in a month.

Some thought a program with 4 winning conference records in 18 years with a new head coach should of landed more elite 26 kids that they probably spent less then a  month at most to recruit compared to other programs recruiting the same kids for longer.   Is what it is.  Some still think IU basketball is what it was in the 80s and 90s.  It’s not

I am willing to give CDV another year to prove he is a top coach, because IU deserves a top coach, the program has the history and fanbase to warrant a very high level of success going forward. I have already took a few shots at the guy after disappointing losses, but I really want him to succeed....as fun as the coaching search threads are, we need to find a coach for the long term soon!

Uhhhh... somebody indignantly asked him why he hasn't been impressed with DDV and he answered. Don't need to wait and see to give an opinion on what DDV has done so far.

And more importantly, “are there any transfer portal players with IU interest who can withstand the grueling grinding physicality of the Big Ten conference?”

Is this like how I’m interested in doing a triathlon. Or like I’m interested in eating a donut?

Just for the record. I actually like him. I like a lot o bout what he represents. Just want him to be better. His portal efforts and choices disappointed me last year. Felt like a wasted year from jump. That has added concern. But in general, I like him, and really want him to do well.  Waiting for results on and off the court to indicate improvements.

Hopefully we know a lot sooner than in a month. If we don't have a good picture of where things stand in a month we are probably in trouble. 

Last year the portal was open March 24 - April 22.

This year the portal is open April 7 - April 21.

If the staff has been appropriately proactive we should probably have our core in place by mid-April latest.

From one perspective, portal shopping may be a little easier this time around.  Last year we were replacing an entire roster and aside from telling the early targets you'll play along side Tucker and Sisley, we couldn't offer much else.  This year, by now we should have a fairly certain idea of which players are returning and we have 3 incoming freshman so it's a much clearer picture for a target of what this year's roster will look like and who his teammates will be.
