A year ago and Shertz was too small time for a job like IU. Now he’s turning down solid jobs in NC State. There’s like a 5% chance UNC strikes out on everyone and offers him. This goes to my overall point that instead of chasing hot names and getting into stupid bidding wars (and thus the long term, buyout heavy contracts which that entails), schools like IU should be reaching down further for the most talented young guys they can find . You can likely offer them more flexible contracts giving you the ability to move off quicker if need be. AZ Hoosier and BannerVille 1 1 Quote
Trish Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Watching Michigan currently. It cannot be overstated enough, Dolson set the Indiana Basketball program back hiring Woodson / not firing him a year sooner. That being said, I’m 100% okay being a football school now. Quote

Indy Star even wrote about it. Scott had to fight tooth and nail to get rid of Woody in year 4. AZ Hoosier, Demo, Home Jersey and 4 others 6 1 Quote

LamarCheeks Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Jeeze -- just when I thought he might be a Cedar Falls lifer, Ben Jacobson is headed to Utah State. He was at Northern Iowa for 20 seasons and had opportunities to move on after a couple good NCAA runs, so I just figured that's where he wanted to be. BannerVille 1 Quote

AKHoosier Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Does Oscar Cluff have another year at Purdue? ESPN says he's a senior but I only see 3 years worth of player data on him, including this past season. Quote

Home Jersey Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Duke's 3 losses were by a combined 5 points with the final leads being taken with 3 seconds, .4 seconds, and .4 seconds left. Unbelievable season. Demo, WayneFleekHoosier, go iu bb and 2 others 2 1 2 Quote

Unbelievable season. Compare that with the graphic that showed them losing games after leading by double-digits in the second half. Admittedly they weren't all this season, but they were all against a Scheyer coached team. Now, tell me, who doesn't love a good choke story? found it: Demo and Home Jersey 2 Quote

They could have a 25 year old 6th year senior in their starting lineup next year and the Painter fanboys will continue to preach how Purdue does it "the right way." Quote

Incredibly ironic when the "the only reason you're good is because you have 25 year olds playing on your football team" argument was sung loudest by Purdue fans. Quote
