As good a coach as that guy is with the contacts he has locally and the NIL commitment they would have to have made to sign him, if he can’t make it happen there you might as well pull the plug on the program.

You built a brand new arena; you don't shut down a program after all that.  You might as well just embrace mediocrity at that point.

Biggest off season win for IUBB will be not adding Kenny Payne to staff. Feels inevitable doesn’t it

Well that's how you fire a coach.  So much for building a consensus.   :)  

I guess she was 24-90 in four years. They took a linear journey leading to, without exception, a logical and predictable outcome. I'd bet there were rigid, proscribed waypoints throughout.

Wow. That's rough.

Note: Add Utah State to the long list of schools who care more than IU does.

Must be an IU fan in disguise since it is the only school with crazy fans.

Hearing Pringle might go to Washington in the B1G.  I'd imagine UCLA is coach shopping too.  USC maybe too.  Our new additions are going to be interesting

Ya its gonna be cool dynamic. I am looking forward to the UCLA vs Indiana games just for the historic value. Oregon I would say will be the most competitive team joining.

Towson and Charleston on beginning of a good night of hoops

Putting aside that evidently the SEC can’t count to 5, notable that 6 of the 8 are transfers.

People talk a lot about if we got Knecht, despite him not really having been very realistic. 

There was an awful lot of veritable smoke around Reeves, including him taking glasses at SIU to try and graduate early. 

If we had him on this year's roster, boy, would things look different. Here's to hoping for portal season...

True, but only 2 of them are new transfers in their first seasons at that school. The others are multi-year guys.

I think poaching good underclassmen from mid majors is a very viable strategy, and not the same as pulling 6-7 dudes from the portal every year.

James Madison is going to win the Sun Belt.   Started the season off by beating Sparty on the road.   Glad they got in

Later in the week ISU fans need to pull for Dayton winning the A-10 and Florida Atlantic winning the American.  No bid thieves will be a good thing for ISU
