If you want to be a big boy program you have to big boy program things.  We consistently don’t. We apparently will only spend the money for top tier talent when the coach has already revealed themselves to be incompetent. 

Sure it does, this fan base is the most bipolar fan base in the country.

The math doesn't work since the revenue sharing cap is $20.5M.

Stuhoo quoted $3.5M for bball in a post a few days ago.  Not sure of his source but he seems to know his stuff.  I’d guess maybe $1.5-2M for the non-rev sports and the rest to football?

I do think that is part of the case here. Obviously get a few good seniors but you do need to sprinkle in sophomores and juniors too for continuity. 

I don't have the stats to answer this, but how many of the sophomores and juniors in the portals are staying after one year? I have seen some of these kids jumping from school to school 2 or 3 times... so while NIL helps you build a competitive team quickly, it also keeps the carousel spinning... unfortunately, that's also true of HS recruits...

This fanbase also freaks out until the dam breaks. Neither has had an impact on what ACTUALLY happens with this basketball team.

Yeah but the people who calling out the warning signs early had the benefit of being right. Sticking your head in the sand and hoping doesn’t help

Stay calm y'all. It'll all be okay. Don't be worried about trying to win a B1G title year 1. We will get there soon enough. I guarantee it. Crean did it in year 5.

Well Ballo and Rice and Goode  went to the tournament the year before and how did that turn out.

Yeah, they went to the tournament with teams who had chemistry and coaches who had clues... then they came to catch bags from Woodson... THAT's how that turned out.

There is lot of time left in the portal season. A lot of players still to enter and visit. Many more will turn us down, many more will commit. Winning the offseason hasn't gotten us anywhere as of late. I know its hard given the last 20+ years, but I'm willing to have some patience, see how the next couple weeks play out and give CDD a chance to get the guys that fit his system, regardless of where they are ranked on x,y,z site.

Seems to have the same exact effect on the outcomes. Our bed is made for at least 3 years (imho) - perspective is everyone's prerogative neither helps unless someone on here has actual influence which is most likely unlikely.

I like to keep 'my head in the sand' or take the more optimistic view - heck I had fun thinking we had a chance at Brad. I figure either way it's gonna happen as its gonna happen - why not enjoy the ride?

The other factor on this too is some of the guys will commit, and guess what...it will will make another player or 2 on that team feel uneasy and they might enter the portal.  There is going to be a lot of movement happening....patience young padawans. patience

With how Stirtz played this season and Auburn has a D2 player it is becoming more common for D2 players to play well at the D1 level.

I believe this is related to the transfer portal era.  Kids are being passed up or missed in the recruiting process in high school that are D1 worthy, then having to take spots at the D2 level.

So assuming Enright is wrapped up that puts us at 2/4 with the comitts being the coaches son and his former Mid-Major PG ? Doesn’t inspire a whole lot of excitement. 

What's the date today?

This. Getting into an emotional bidding war is a bad place to be... He's gone, move on...

And 4 teams that are currently having their end of year conversations plus 4 more teams that will next week. Patience is a virtue.

Agree.  Good point.

[Chris007]

One thing we can all agree on is that poor Rabby is struggling with news. His update today is that he thinks were in good shape with Enright and don't think we will go after Booker.

Don’t think we will go after Booker as well.  Unless someone wants to perform a miracle.  He is not the kid you want.

No, we have a fanbase that did nothing but ***** about dropping bags for kids who didn't want to be here.  Now, we've had a coach for less than 2 weeks, one guy he probably thought wasn't good enough to overpay for goes somewhere else, and people lose their f'ing minds and want to drop bags again.  I'm guessing Woodson and his family are realizing how fortunate they are to be rid of this nonsense.

I wonder how far down rabby has to go in his rolodex now that nobody with actual connections will talk to him

 

 

*cue rabby calling the assistant to the janitor asking if they have any scoops  

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan]

Geez, we miss out on Conwell and people start melting down. Here is hoping people woke up and realize it’s 1 player and there are actually talented players available to get. Let it play out and see what the roster looks like at the end of the portal season. 

Exactly. If the 4 million is correct and we have 10 million to play with, I'm glad we passed. Unless He is going to be player of the year, no way do I want to pay 40% of our money to one person
