Which I have always wondered about tbh.  None of his players or recruits followed him. Other than his son 

Enright didn’t follow him from WVU, but pretty since followed him.

I've seen this posted a lot.  But other than Hansberry, none of them are really doing anything.  Who would you have wanted to follow him here?

Mostly him. But just some depth pieces would have been nice so that we didn’t have to build an entire roster(thanks again Woodson).

He was going wherever Chester Frazier went and there was 0 chance Frazier was coming to coach at IU

Nobody followed him because they didn't want to.  Plus he didn't have a good roster there either.  And he didn't make the tourney.

My goodness he has so many things he needs to fix.  I have no idea why Dolson thought IU is a place for a coach who needs to figure things out.

Devries needs to make the tourney this year.  Absolute minimum.

It certainly doesn’t hurt, but IU is losing nearly its entire roster….and payroll. That doesn’t change whether or not they sneak in as a 10 or 11 seed or get the 1 seed in the NIT. Money and playing time are a far bigger sell than the success (or failures) of the previous years team in this climate, especially when the previous years team is going to be completely gutted to graduation. But yeah, I prefer we make the tournament than miss it obviously.

Loosing the entire roster actually makes it worse because you have so many spots to fill and little continuity.  Without proven success you’ll end up overpaying for mediocre talent.  Kind of like we did this year.  Got to get in.  And if we make a first weekend run all the better. 

[Brass Cannon]

Depending on how you view Harris we look to have 2-3 rotation pieces returning.  With 3 good recruits coming in. 
 

Gut tells me that coach will target 3-4 guys to fill out the rotation next year. Depending how he views the freshmen we have on staff

Not his fault they wanted North Carolina in the tourney and his team was the team that had to pay for it.    Beat Arizona, Gonzaga in the non conference and road win at Kansas and home win against Iowa St with a SOS of 26 and non conference SOS  62.    West Virginia getting left out might have been the biggest snub I’ve seen in quite some time.  They said it was because of injuries but the Kansas and Iowa st wins came after the injuries

Not to mention he improved their ranking in Kenpom by 90 spots.

Stunned that team got left out.  I didn’t even have them near the cut line.   Just mind blowing that a team went 6-10 in Q1 games and 4-3 in Q2 games and got left out for a team that had 1 Q1 win

I never saw any metric produced by anybody that supported leaving them out.

Man I hate "not my fault".  Lack of accountability is the biggest issue is striving for greatness.  

Fact is he didn't make the tourney.  He needs to this year.

Nah, my bed is unfortunately fully dry.

Find the flaw in what I said.  It's all facts. It's just that I hold this program to better standards than our administration and some fans have over the last decade.

Nah  he doesn’t need to do anything.  He will either make it or he won’t.   He will be here next year either way

I know he'll be here for another year.  But I can certainly complain about it to all the slow learners.
