Wonder why he wasn’t talked about at all ? Seems like he had huge upside would have been a nice bring over from WV . 
 

oh well not a fun start but there is still a ways to go hopefully we get a pick me up soon .

Really? The guy breathes Indiana basketball and talks it all day. He’s not going to post a number unless he heard it from a source he trusts.

He was first to publicly report where Cupps was going and for how much. Dakich has as many people that love him than hate him. Still connected just not through traditional means.

Ius pitch I know you are on your 4th coach in 4 years but we can give you a lot of money in your last year of college but as of now we have 2 kids on the roster.  I can show you how we like to play and you got to have faith we can build you a roster good enough in your last year 

Louisville pitch.  You have last year as proof of how you will play in your last year of college and who is on the roster currently.    Got a stud guard coming in and another stud portal guard.   We are going to shoot a ton of threes regardless.  You will get your shots and we have a lot of money.  

Anyone wonder if perhaps the coach at Texas shared some thoughts about IU too. Not hard to eliminate us when you have options

We gotta earn that on the court

[Home Jersey 15,394]

Not a transfer but curious if we are working on Dante Allen, Villanova decommit and Montverde teammate of Trent. #42 overall. 6’3 215ish

Perhaps Conwell wasn't about the right things in DDV's opinion. Could just be a loss due to $ or it could be one of those examples DeVries gave about passing on a high end talent if he didn't feel they were about "the right things". I'll trust him until I can't. We will have a roster.

I’m assuming CDD has a plan and is sticking to it. Powell was mentioned early when he was first hired but not much since the portal opened.

Take him. That’s silly money.

Yeah, I don't think we have had any mojo since CZ, VO, and JH were playing for IU. And I mean real mojo....not the kind paid for and hoping it fits like Woodson did.

Not sure why people considered him a candidate to come with CDD given that he announced for the portal while DeVries was still the WVU HC. That told me he was definitely not a candidate to come.

Indiana basketball has no juice.

Not going to hit the panic button yet, but maybe the biggest red flag with Archie Miller early on was that no one was drawn to him and he couldn't bring in any talent right off the bat. He was here 4 months before he finally got a commitment from anybody (yes, I know that was pre-portal). We have literally a whole roster to fill, we'll pay well, and we're sitting here watching other programs load up with new players. 

 

This is why the DeVries hire didn't excite me. Nothing about him is going to excite people about coming here. We think Indiana is a special place with everything a basketball coach could want, but teenagers don't see it that way. They need to be convinced. Right now I'm not sure we have someone who can do that. 

Yeah because Drake and West Virginia are great places.  Come on man.

Guards win games. If we aren’t willing to spend on elite guards what’s the point 

We had bag chasers last year and ended up with a “team” most couldn’t wait to get rid of.   

[Mopladysman 1,350]

So does Iu have interest in Reed Bailey or he just likes us?  Looks like Kentucky does according to various articles.

Prediction: 

Enright - IU

Flory - Auburn

Dix - Illinois

Conwell - Louisville (although I thought he’d be at Texas)

 

There’s nothing IU can sell to championship level players other than cash. 

The problem is in our arrogance, others have equally robust, if not more resources. 
 

Other teams have gm’s in place, full staff’s, and news of being in on many of the top portal players so far. Something seems very off with Indiana. Feels like they haven’t gotten any of this **** figured out. If I had to bet, I’d say that we don’t even know who our full staff is and are scrambling to fill a roster that currently has 2 players. 
 

People will get pissed at me for this but it’s just the same old cognitive dissonance. 
 

The one constant over 3 decades is that Indiana University has no idea how to get basketball decisions right. 
 

Like I said a couple days ago. I hope you guys are ready for a much longer build than what you were hoping for. The only path to winning for Indiana is a similar path that Purdue had to take with Painter. CDD is going to have to scout his @$$ off and win with the scraps and leftovers. 
 

The best coach for that reality was Ben McCollum. 
 

I’ll see myself out.
