I like Drock (since it's already established) or CDV...if we are still voting

 

DD will always remind me of Dakich (vomit)

DRock feels like something his players and coaches call him -- people who know him personally -- not something fans call him. But that's just me.

If DDV can load up in the portal which I think he will, and with what is coming in I think you’re looking at 25 wins next year in year 1. There will be real shooters again making it rain in SSAH. It feels different this time.

Does anyone know if DRock is related to T-Rock and K-Rock?

Yeah…sorry, I know that some think Goode would be a likely choice, but no.  This is a new start…new mindset…new regime.  No leftovers, thanks.  JMHO.  :)

If for nothing else I’d like at least one holdover that can tell us how different things are now than last season… ;)

I know it's time to move on, but listening to Coach Devries it makes me so mad that IU didn't hire a competent coach (like him) in 2021. Have no clue how Coach Devries will do when it's all said and done, but you can tell he is a program builder and can win in the modern era.

I think WVU had a guard transfer in that had to sit out the whole year. Think his name is Jayden Stone? Never played a full season. Career 34% three point shooter. Wonder if he would join Devries at IU.

Definitely a breathe of fresh air:)

I don't think he has 3 total HS kids. Sisley from IU and the 2 kids from WV who have recommitted to make the 3.

Two of his recruits from WV committed to IU?

Lets be careful throwing out numbers like 25 wins.  We so easily set ourselves up for disappointment.  Lets see what he does in the portal and how things shake out over the next few months.  Definitely reason to be excited.  But he can have a successful first year and not get to 25 wins.

Really? Lots of rumors about Creighton due to a family member sickness

Harding? 

I'm assuming Dix to Creighton and Freeman to Michigan.

Exactly. Expectations should be for a good, solid season. And, more importantly, an improved culture. 

The players play hard. Recruiting starts to look better. Team plays smarter. 

The fans will know if progress is being made. A certain number of wins doesn't need to be attained. We just need to see a solid program getting stabilized.
