just kicking us when we're down.  I have no doubt that the above tweet (if truly about KBJ, which I believe it is) was sent very stragically as we were about to lose and our season ended.

No. I doubt it. I don’t trust most of these so called “insiders”

And the problem with this one in particular is he is wrong often. Like more than he is right. He had Romeo to Vandy for 4-6 months last year. Every high end recruit is going to UK. I am guessing he is just a kid that’s a UK fan that’s trying hard to break in to the business by his posting.

So very true. I’ve always considered it ok to be critical of players on message boards and never on social media but I’m starting to even question this premise.

I will say I’m certain it’s not just our fanbase but the social media stuff is disgusting and I loathe how people act on it.

I’d say you can call this a “justifiable” reason to pick NOT Indiana.

Although UK fans will do the same stuff, only worse.

Furthermore, winning cures most/all. Other fan bases with huge expectations win WAY more than Indiana so you don’t see it as often.

Consider UK during the NIT season and how they treated their players.

Yes she didn’t see that Kentucky
team when they were in the NIT. Kentucky fans were losing their mind.

I've never really understood the personal criticism directed at players even on message boards. The personal stuff that was said about Green and Smith during the losing streak IMO was over the line in terms of how we should react to a game. Sure, criticize a guy's performance, but the character attacks make me uncomfortable. These guys are kids that none of us know personally. Who knows what they're dealing with.

It’s different. I think at one point all of the boards had collectively decided nothing personal on a kid. I think around Creans last year that relaxed on all boards. This board is mild compared to others for sure. I think what some of it boiled down to is everyone collectively hit their tipping point at the same time due to Glass waiting too long. Right or wrong a lot of newer people that are on these boards found it through social media. They carry that anonymously hot take approach to boards and they have ultimately become a cesspool to a degree. The 1% of crazy becomes more vocal than 99%.
