Transfer Portal w IU Interest

Your comment said nothing about winning the offseason, only suggested that we may be "locked out" of in-state recruiting (at a time when we are involved with multiple in-state prospects). People are tired of digs from fellow fans and that goes both ways, not sure why you're surprised your joke did not land. Nobody wants to get flak for rooting for their team, whatever that looks like to them. Virtually all of us feel the same way you do (show me first) yet do not feel the need to reduce every conversation to "bUt MiKe WoOdSoN" 

There is a thread for tempering optimism or even downright negativity, not this one though. 

Stuhoo has already unpacked how you're "misreading the room" with your "tempering optimism" ... but yeah, some of all the other posters are the insane ones (just like some of all the college professors ;) 

First, in line with the new forum rules, this thread is about the transfer portal.  So what is a HS recruiting tweet doing here?  Second, if anyone who thinks a few meetings with some in state dudes means we have the state locked up, they're delusional.  We'll have the state locked up when they are committed.  

But yeah, lets go.  We're back baby.   Woody's cooking.

Did you expect us to have a chance after Ballo committed? Not sure that was likely to happen given the market for Payne.

Do we need a backup? Or does Ballo play 40 minutes? You guys are no fun anymore.

Payne committed to Texas A&M, another center we missed out on. He visited and everything. 

And decided to go elsewhere when Ballo committed or did you think he would of been fine in a reserve roll after starting for Minny last year?

Don't worry.  Woody's got this.

Anthony Leal is our backup. Thought that was common knowledge?

He better if we're going to win 57 games. No breaks if your making a million

Ugh I like Payne. Pharrel that is ... I'll root for him at TAMU though.

Not so sure about that.  With the amount of sunshine being pumped, need SPF 100 for protection.

I am done with "optimism."  Optimism gets you 0.  I am seeking results.    

Granted, Woodson did better than predicted in the portal with 3 top 25 guys.  That's Mount Rushmore territory.   But let's see where it goes on the court before we start steaking thru the quad.  

Okay, you've made your point, AGAIN

Luke Goode is a transfer portal prospect from Indiana so the tweet is relevant.

You're putting words in peoples' mouths with your "second" point and don't seem familiar with the concept of symbolism.

Collin Hartman wrote a check to himself to come back for his 7th year and backup Ballo for old times sake.

Edit: Sorry for the terrible jokes, I just don't like to be told I am not fun anymore :)

We for sure still need a backup but that “should” be a very limited role if Reneau spends any meaningful time at the 5, otherwise it’s a 12-15 minutes per game role. I’d guess that’s well below what Payne wants.

I heard if Leal plays enough we’re guaranteed to win so you may be on to something…

[monskisprodigy]

With Payne off the board, that leaves only Malone out for a backup big that we have known contact with, correct?

Take it to the Payne thread.  LOL.... 

JKJK of course.   This place is getting a bit touchy.

Just Chill 

Sorry Chris, I had to post this because I love your information and knew you would be a sport.

If optimism gets you 0, why are you reading and posting in a thread about transfers?
