Yes.  BTW, the player he describes — 6’10”, capable 3 point shooter, runs funny is the EXACT description of Myles Turner when he was at Texas.

i’m not sure why either would be called ‘non athletic’ — both are excellent rim protectors.

He moved a lot better his freshman year prior to gaining all the weight.

The fact that we’re already talking about firing another basketball coach at this juncture is a you problem.

I’d be fine shuttering the basketball program altogether to give Cig another $15 million or however much it’d be. Firing Devries won’t do any good because the next guy won’t be any better.

We’ll see what Devries cooks up in this portal. This past season was pretty predictable once we saw last year’s roster come together. We should have a good sense of what next season/his tenure outlook looks next in the next month.

Then consider it shuttered and stop complaining. Simple. Go enjoy watching the spring football. Act like IU basketball doesn’t exist anymore.  See problem solved.

Yawn. Arguing about this when we have great players considering our ball team?

I think the line between some random moron with a timeline full of asshattery and a verifiable media member is pretty clear. 

I can’t believe I have to justify saying “don’t tweet at/DM recruits”. 

I’ve never done it but if I was an aspiring media journalist I would so I won’t judge people that are aspiring to that career regardless of whether someone thinks they are an asshat. Mainstream media outlets are going the way of the dodo

As someone that works in media, there is absolutely no reason for journalists to join a traditional media outlet. The days of ESPN and others controlling all communication with sources are over and have been for a while.

like it, don’t like, it’s how we are all going to be getting our information so we might as well get used to it

Lol is that what we’re calling the burner army now? 

I think I’ll pass on getting used to a kid firing off DMs from his dorm in between games of Fortnite and calling that journalism.

We desperately need some commits soon for the wellbeing of the board. 

It's starting to feel like Lord of the Flies around here, as is tradition in the offseason.

No it was not.  It's ok, Rabby told us that the GT player arrived on campus.  And Burton hasn't committed yet to Houston. 

All the inside scoops being shared.

My hope is whether we get Sherrell or not, Carr and the staff have other bigs lined up behind him. We can’t roll with just 1 and if we swing and miss we need plenty of other options. PG and bigs are critical this portal.

Check out Tony Adriana’s portal page for the full list we have been rumored to. It was posted several pages back now. Probably 10 if I had to guess. But there are several bigs on the list. Some backup options for sure.

The scars from previous years won’t allow me to get excited.

Sisley’s being as actively involved as he can, good to see

I guess I'll be the one to ask it, is Aiden Sherrell worth 4M?  What is it about his game that impresses everyone the most? 33% from 3 for a 6'10, 255lb guy is pretty impressive. 6.2 rebounds while averaging 24 minutes is good.  That said, he's not athletic at all, and perhaps it's partially due to the odd way he runs, but looks out of shape (bad weight).

The size/strength, the shooting touch, the shot blocking, all the shooting %'s. His numbers are pretty similar to Mara's at Michigan. I think if he's an offensive hub as opposed to the 5th option on a guard-dominated, perimeter-oriented team he would increase those numbers.
