Just commit already! Haha.

BREAKING: Ty Fryfogle is officially coming to IU!

If Archie can come up big and close on his favorite targets for 2022, we might be taking off. The identity of the program is forming and we have some high character young guys already who will bring about continuity. Now if we add the next gen of recruits in the same mindset, it’s going to be like a snowball rolling down a mountain, picking up steam. If we get an entire team with Archie’s favorite recruits, no one will be happy to play us. They will be in for a war.

Got my second one yesterday. Same as first one, woke up with just arm a little sore.

Didn't want to start a new thread on this. But, at this point in the season, these are TJD's national rankings in some stats. 1st - 2 point FG attempts 2nd - 2 point FGs made (to Garza) 2nd in FTs made (to Marcus Carr) 2nd in FTs attempted (Jalen Moore of Oakland) 9th in Minutes played 6th in defensive rebounds 8th in total rebounds 4th in total points 8th in Defensive Win Shares 7th in Total Win Shares I know some think he doesn't get enough touches, but these numbers indicate otherwise. 2020-21 Leaders | College Basketball at Sports-Reference.com (sports-reference.com)

ARK manages to get past GA 99-69 without J Smith. 56 point second half

Yes trying to get guys smart enough to know you can't dibble off your foot.

Obviously another really smart kid (offers from Harvard & Stanford) . Clearly an emphasis for this coaching staff.

It was a little brisk this morning here in East Texas (45 or so) and I was getting rid of some boxes...My favorite barn cat decided she wanted one to sleep in...

Going to be hard for us to ever be the favorites in the west, at any point, with the way things are set up now.

I'll echo everyone else. Fryfogle coming back is just big. So many programs in hoops or football have guys leave just a tad early and they come back a tad. This to me is the equivalent of a borderline first round/second round pick in NBA coming back for his junior year. Get Penix healthy. Add the transfers and the others returning. I've never wanted a football season for IU to come so quickly. I'll start the wagon now. Eventually Corso is going to have to step down....how about gameday in Bloomington for Ohio St at IU next year???

I started this thread and it needs to be resurrected. With young men making the decision to return, and with young men making the decision to leave their schools and come to IU... how can this fan base not cherish what CTA brings to the table? If the powers that be ever make the decision to not pay whatever it takes to keep Allen in Bloomington, I will rescind my lifetime Alumni Club membership and forego any future contribution to the university

What? Not a peanut butter mayo banana bacon sandwich?

If you are going to mock me at least be accurate. It is the 80's and 90's that were better

I went to Burger King this week and ordered a whopper and fries for good luck. Didn't expect news this soon. Usually they don't get orders out this quickly. Still waiting on that whopper though.

Yeah if you told me you would win after shooting that poorly from 3 I would say your nuts. He carried you for sure. Even when Michigan st was up double digits the quality they were playing was not good...more how poorly you guys were. Then it flipped. Great execution down the stretch. They choked and you guys made all the plays. Well deserved. You did what we couldn’t...finished it off.

Nice win for the Boilers.

Chef Curry cooked tonight. It's obviously early, but pretty impressive to see the Dubs playing this way without Klay. If they can manage to win about 45 game Steph may mess around and win another MVP.

I think NFL probably has questions on his speed and route running ability right now which is hurting his draft stock. Haven't seen him projected much higher than a 6th/7th rounder. Can't do much about the speed aspect but if he can hone his route running he could become a day 2 or early day 3 pick.

Good win for the Celtics tonight over Washington, while missing Kemba, Tristan Thompson, Robert Williams and Grant Williams. Tatum with 32 and Brown with 27. Those two are playing at such a high level. Real reason for the post is I feel so bad for Langford. He would be getting so much good playing time right now, but instead is basically going to be another lost season.

If Colts can protect Rivers and let him get started, that will be a big factor in the game tomorrow. Bills have been very good with their blitz packages. Colts line has to hold up against that and give Philip the time to find his receivers

Beasley isn't playing. Diggs will. I really like this Colts team but the Bills are playing as well as anyone right now. Should be fun to watch. I expect Taylor to have 25/140/2 type stat line. Biggest thing tomorrow I believe is contain Allen (don't let him get outside the pocket) and just hope the Bills don't get bailed out by long ball to Brown/Davis.

@snowling, Street Fighting Man is a great song. But, without a doubt, this is my favorite Stones song. It is my understanding that Keith Richards was allowed to let loose and play open chords which gave this song its blues sound. Anyway, my favorite.

Combo of both. Purdue just kept chipping away but This is the worst Sparty team I’ve seen in several years. Still good enough to beat anyone but not consistently good. They don’t have good shooting nor a dominant post presence like years past.

I starting to think coaches is trying to make basketball harder than it is. A coach should put your team in the best position to succeed and I don't know if a lot of coaches are doing that. Basketball is about anticipation and not reacting to things and it appears players are out there thinking to much. Coaches micro manage to much and don't let players go out and just play. I think coaches needs to look at how Mark Few coaches especially on the offensive end of the court

Still don't understand why coaches keep using this kind of offensive system. It is obvious to me that it is not a good system for scoring. Mid it because coaches don't think kids today can play in motion offense or different sets.

I reread my article, she's at an NAIA school, I don't think I fully realized what that meant before. Still, it remains very possible that next year, or at least sometime soon, it will be more profitable to be at IU than anything short of a first rounder. I will welcome that, both ideologically and as an IU fan.

Game, I believe he had 45 total tackles all season

He probably won't be an impact starter, but he'll provide decent depth. He had 43 tackles and 2.5 sacks this year.

Not a big Bowie fan but love Queen. This song is a masterpiece though. Yeah, I know it was edited but still.

Some of these big ten teams are offensively challenged including.us

And 16 points at the half for Purdue, down 15.... love to see it.

The one that is concerning to me is the minutes played. CAM mentioned it in the presser yesterday... Trayce played all 49 minutes and he was worn down. It was a factor in the lack of execution at the end of the game and further illustrates how Brunk being out has affected this team

Good call...forgot about them.

Memphis would probably be part of any group moving to the East.

This is huge! So many weapons at WR

BREAKING: IU lands an Ole Miss player

I don't care, I can't see how anyone can like the NBA brand of basketball. It was OK back in the 70s. The players were so much better then. The officiating is the worst IN ALL SPORTS. Sincerely, Scott

Sounds good to me. It would be nice for IU to have a 7 footer "project" like Turdue for once. Not so much of a project like Tijan or April, but a kid like this that committed to our current asst coach at UConn and had an offer from U of AZ.

No other snub even comes close to Waller not getting 2nd team TE. They left it vacant instead of putting him on the 2nd team. Of all players, he was 4th in catches, 10th in yards, and 10th in touchdowns. He had 229 more yards, 25 more catches, and 5 more touchdowns than Beasley who made 2nd team WR. Waller had almost as many yards, more catches, and 5 more touchdowns than Kelce had last year, and they left the spot vacant instead of taking him.

Fun fact: only 6 colleges currently have 3 or more players in the NBA averaging over 15 PPG and Indiana is one of them.

There are pros and cons of both ways, but I think getting more shots in arms quickly is a good way to move forward. I just found out my 90yo grandmother in Southern IN is getting her first shot on the 13th - super psyched about that!

Imo, this board gets fixated on certain guys for whatever reason, maybe nostalgia? This thread has mentioned he looks like Hulls, plays like Hulls, shoots like hulls. I've mentioned before, my buddy is an assistant of a team that plays them. He wasn't that impressed and didn't think he would be an IU recruit. Didn't even think he was the best player on their team. I think it's time to pump the breaks. If CAM isn't offering a 6'2” (all time prolific state scoring contender) better shooting and passing version of this kid, then he's not offering the 5'11” or 6'1" version. Best offers are Toledo and Montana. When Montana State gets involved then we will see the bigger offers come rolling in. Not hating on the kid. Sounds like a great MAC candidate that will be a real nice transfer option as a jr or sr and there is nothing wrong with that.

I wasn't either until about 10 years ago...Listened to the "Hunky Dory" LP and I was hooked...That and "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" are two of the greatest LPs ever..."Man Who Sold the World" is another favorite... My youngest daughter (who loves older music...Bowie and The Beatles are her favs) and I danced to Bowie's "Kooks" at her wedding...

Expansion? https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/seattle-mayor-pretty-optimistic-about-nba-returning-to-city-after-discussion-with-adam-silver/

Go Hoosiers!

Great - that was over 30 years ago. Perhaps move on if you really think it sucks so much?

Yeah, college officials are the worst and its not even close. I can understand some people not liking some of the rules (gather step, continuation, etc) in the NBA but the officials do as good of a job calling games as you can. I wish they called some notorious floppers better, but generally NBA refs do a good job. College refs are just flat awful. They couldn't call a proper charge/block if the players were in slow motion, they literally hunt ticky-tack fouls on the perimeter while letting guys get clobbered in the paint, and I'm going to scream if I see one more needless travel called.
