Type Enberg's 1st name?  It apparently changed it to that?

Well you guys need to make an exception for Enberg.

Agreed, DD was great when he stayed on topic, was annoying when he tried to be edgy and controversial though. 

Bilas is a front-runner for sure. 

I don't know what happened to Dakich. He could be so good at adding context to what was happening on the court. Maybe he had some personal issues that got in his head sent him off in a bad direction. Although I don't like what he has become, he gave a lot of years to IU basketball. Something about the radio show, which was very good when it started, went really wrong. I can't listen to him anymore and, in a way, that is kind of sad.

DJ White wants to kick his @$$.

If DJ is not okay with him, neither am I.

Love DJ, but it is seldom that simple. Don't want to get too far off the rails, but when I see someone like Dakich who seems determined to self destruct I want to understand how he got to this point.

I don't know about self destructing. He seems to be doing just fine. Some don't like his politics, many do. Lots of Colts game hate him though because they are all blind as bats and think it's an amazing organization and he calls it otherwise.

Dakich is just a straight tool at this point. He self-destructed years ago.

He's not "doing just fine." And yes, people hate his politics but keep in mind, the IU team that played for him, including some seriously squared-away guys like DJ White and Eric Gordon, wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire. And they knew him five-ten years before Dakich became attached and attracted to 'certain political philosophies.'

You also don't see Woody, Whitman, Buckner, or any of the very high-level, squared-away alums ever giving him the time of day. 

The man has become toxic in so many ways which is a shame, because on the basketball side he's pretty knowledgeable and is an excellent analyst.

I mean that is their choice if they don't like his politics. Pretty immature if you ask me but people can do as they please. That team he "coached" probably aren't happy that Dakich let's everyone know that team was invested with stupidity. I don't base what I like off them. Be was good at his job. And I'd say he is definitely doing fine. Still has a show so.

Great shooter. Good athlete. Significant loss is right. They still have nice pieces but losing potentially your best shooter isn’t ideal.

WTH?  No freshmen?  That's refreshing.

Is it possible that he has a heart? I hope that is the case and not just a marketing play to make him look like he cares.

He is winning the off-season big time. And recruiting per usual. I hope it doesn’t translate to the court but this is a cool gesture no matter the true intentions. Probably seen as a win win, which it is.

Word on street is Illinois beat Kansas in secret scrimmage but no confirmation.
