Remember Ya doing a, I believe, Hysterics podcast the summer he was hired and talking about how IU was a different environment and not everybody’s wired for this and what a consideration that was in extending offers and thinking, “Oh, so that’s why they’re not offering Kanaan Carlyle.”  Yeah, I’m a freaking genius.

That's three solid soild transfers and a McD's since March.  Much, much needed offseason.

I see very little to complain about in the backcourt for next season.

Was a little worried early when you just knew they’d been in hard on Carlyle that he was looking for a primary ball handling roll and he can be a little wild and crazy and sometimes crosses the line between playing fast and out of control and those things in your primary could yield a fair amount of team inconsistency. But pairing him with a rock solid natural PG in Rice and the presence of a kid like Galloway can temper a lot of that and is an almost perfect setting for him. I fully expect Carlyle to be a monster.

Looking forward to seeing it in action. I hope Woody let’s then pick up the pace a bunch. I’d like to be a top 15-20 pace team with this kind of a roster.

Hopefully this is the catalyst for having our version of the Michigan football turnaround.

Also hope to see them crash the offensive glass. However, I don't think I'll get my wish.

Rice and Carlyle together.

Ballo is an elite offensive rebounder

Yes I'm aware but your 5 getting put backs isn't what I'm referring to.

Ha, check back after the first few games and you'll have a list!

I have stated several times that I wasn't excited about Carlyle (I wanted Conwell.) But now he's a Hooiser I wish him the absolute best. 

[IUc2016 7,080]

Big time get. On paper the staff has made the right moves to upgrade the backcourt talent to go with the talented front court. 
 

hoping this is the year it ALL comes together. Go Hoosiers!

Quality depth...

I’ve got a really nice story for you all:

I just had a Bloomington college frat reunion weekend. A bunch of guys in their 50’s reminiscing. A truly perfect end to the weekend?

Five of us walking down the stairs of the Union after brunch at the Tudor Room at 11:15 this morning.

Waiting for us at the bottom of the stairs in the Union Hotel lobby? Woody and Walsh with Kaanan Carlyle and his mom. We chatted up Carlyle for two or three minutes and congratulated him—shook his hand and welcomed him to the family. He’s got a really easy smile and nice way about him. Looked us all in the eye and had that “Indiana is different” happy look.

Handshakes with Woody: “love you Coach-great month we’re having.” Woody handshake back- “appreciate it guys.” Talked with him for a minute or two. Trailing behind us was Ya, Kenya, and a very wide awake and engaged Armond Hill.

Great stuff.
