DeVries was hired exactly two weeks ago. 

It sounds like at least one of the main assistants (from TTU) has been busy with tournament obligations. 

Drew Adams appears to have been at work for IU already behind the scenes. 

DDV brought some coaches/staff with him from WVU too.

These guys are at work. They hardly know IU themselves yet and selling it to top prospects who have tons of options. 

Hopefully before the dead period we land a couple big fish.

It's been quiet the past two weeks, I feel like we're about to hear a flurry of stuff the next couple days especially. 

26-9 

4th in the conference , semi-finals of the btt

Sweet 16

Top 10 portal class

Those expectations are a rough average of what Pope, Kelsey, and May did last year. Probably not far from what he would've done with Tucker healthy. 

So this year a high payroll version of the identity we can expect the next 6 years. We need 8 studs in their roles. We have 1. We need 5 players that are a combination of low level maybes and promising hs players. We have 1. 

I'm sure there are a lot of things going on and I'm not panicked. We're going to need to make 5 people millionaires.

Not surprised but Xavier Booker in the portal . Hasn’t developed during his time in East Lansing . Gotta think the Drew Adams and Indiana Elite connections make him a possibility for IU if they don’t get Flory . If the staff think thier is untapped talent and potential there . Idk personally I’ll leave that to the experts . 
 

Ant Wright in X always seemed to think he wasnt getting a fair shake and should have played more in his time at MSU , 

Man, idk. Definitely don't want to go into this as your projected starter but if he's the backup guy then it's probably worth a shot.

I will say, it doesn't seem to fit the DeVries agenda unless Booker can convince people the narrative about him is false.

Not sure Adams is overly helpful here. Booker didn't play for Indiana Elite rather George Hill and I believe briefly with Indy Heat. 

Honestly, Notre Dame would be the best fit for Booker assuming he can gain admission. Shrews is a Cathedral grad as is Booker and the staff has a ton of local Indy connections.

If the stringer is still empty on the 7th, then I'll begin getting concerned.

I have wondered how some will respond if we don't have much success with our perceived top targets.

I think we already know how they'll respond...

Not directing this at you, as I often see people talk about making ti a certain round of the BTT as a marker. I get IU's never had much success there, but I really couldn't care less about the BTT. It's really a nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah if you're a non competitive person

I care more about success in the NCAAs. And a lengthy run in the BTT, while nice and all, is meaningless if you then exit the NCAAs early.

No one is going to say, well, coach couldn't get us to the second weekend of the dance, but that BTT banner makes up for it.

Yeah it'd be nice to win the BTT once just to get the monkey off your back, but in the grand scheme of things does really nothing for seeding if you're already in the tournament. Michigan just went through the gauntlet of Purdue, Maryland, and Wisconsin in conesuctive days and were seeded lower than all three of them despite beating Purdue and Wisconsin x2 and as a reward were sent out West to Denver to play the highest rated mid-major in the tournament in UC-Sn Diego. Have a feeling the bracket was already drawn up before Sunday started and Michigan's win against Wisconsin wasn't even factored into the equation.

This is Cook Hall. You’ll practice here.

This is Assembly Hall. You’ll play in front of 17,000 fans every game here. 

This is the McNutt residence center. This is where you’ll … well, you gotta enroll to find out what you’ll do here…

you missed a couple:

These are the dudes that will take care of your online classes

And to your point…here are some of the fellow students you will “meet”

It’s not at the top of my list, but it’s a nice thing to finish off strong. 
 

After May signed his contract Michigan hit the tough part of their schedule. Some people were saying he’d fell off or got figured out, because they predictably lost some of the harder games. Then UM won the BTT and went to the S16.

 

 I bet that did a lot for some UM fans who were nervous about him for whatever reason. Effect would be the same if CDD won the BTT in his first year.

I thought people would stop losing their minds a bit after the coaching search was done. 

I stand corrected. LOL

Oh yeah, until DeVries has a roster in place that makes the Celtics look like Butler insanity is gonna reign.
