Enright as our starting PG and Bailey as our 5…….. lol. Who builds that and says, yep, that’ll do.

Unfortunately maybe all he could get.

Here's another thought: Do we think DDV gains any clarity with offensive scheming once Tucker is out of the picture? Remaining roster construction aside, of course.

Never thought of it that way. From the outside that has to be fireable offense. Fireable with cause for stupidity

Our other guard crusty the clown isn’t much better 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Might have wanted to figure that out before we hired him. Or gave him more resources or had me on staff to tell him we need better. Lol. They can hire me for a fraction to be the transfer portal assessor. “You’re gonna sign who?” “are you sure about that”. “Don’t ya think We could use a rim protecting, defensive and offensive rebounding 5? Are you surrrrrrrrrrrre?

Haven't watched more than 30 minutes of IU basketball so far this season. Have been all in on football. Kinda followed this thread because it was Kentucky but no really into it. We have a new coach who had to completely restock the roster and hire a staff at the same time. Not an easy thing to do in this conference.  I watched this team building process and thought it might be a long year. Like it or not this is a rebuilding year. We need to establish a style of play and then sell that to recruits and portal guys. Our coach knows what he,he is doing and what he needs going forward. Every hire is not going to be Cignetti-like. Good things are coming.

I turned it off. 12 point loss….

 

Guess that’s about right for these guys

He didn't have many other better options.

15,000 players in the portal, $10-$12M & he didn’t have a better option? Come on

Post game crash outs are becoming more entertaining then the actual games being played

Give Bruce Thornton 2 million and Flory Bidunga 2.5 million. And save lots of cash on roster spots 9-13

Listen I’m going nuts on here and it’s not all incredibly reasonable but I would like to put out there my expectations aren’t like Championship yearly but simply the illusion of a chance. Give me a top 20 team 3/5 years, fun high-paced basketball,  and I’m the biggest fan there is. Tom Crean 2011-2015 is the peak of IU basketball this century - Chew on that!

He can't MAKE them come. And look at us: who really wanted to come to this with all the other stable, successful options out there?  That's where it starts. Not everyone can be bought. Not to mention, we are mid in what we're offering to pay.

Been this way for 12-15 years. Started early for DeVries. Doesn’t get the pre-nil buffer.

Is this the year he finally leads his team to the ncaa tourney?

Is that what Kentucky or Kansas would do?

Nope, they’d pony up enough cash to build a respected roster with a chance to win.

Indiana is always trying to do it the hard way. Save some money. Gonna backfire on them this time. Already has in fan enthusiasm.

Two historic nights for Indiana football, and two losses to two Kentucky basketball teams in the same day. We are officially a football school Yeehaw.

Poverty program. Maybe we can print some coupons for athleticism.
