Let’s talk Roster! 2026/2027

You can’t tell me that we don’t have donors out there who are spending several mil for NIL that would not spend a couple more to bring a player on who could really put us over the top.

We just can’t settle for a few top notch players and go budget on the supporting cast..not if you want to make a statement and get us over that old worn out hump.

A top-tier player is 100% concerned with their future career. Therefore they are not likely to be interested in being a 15 mpg backup unless the money was markedly higher at IU than anywhere else. And we aren’t the only wealthy school.

That’s how you build a NC contender roster.

Who is doing that? Certainly not IU. This is a program that missed the 68 team tournament last year. 
 

If you want that guy you better have an A+ scout on a kid who played very limited mins last year, a euro, a freshman, etc… Likely he just doesn’t exist.
