WTF did i just watch?  How is this a college level attempt lol

We are going to need to shoot in the mid 30s as a team from 3.  And it would be nice to have 2 players closers to 40% on mid to higher volume.  Is is absolutely required, no, but it has been a glaring hole for IU for quite some time.  I know people don't think its that important, but to me its the biggest missing piece we have had for years.

Winning is what makes games enjoyable. I heard Purdue’s play last year described as “boring” because all they would do is pound the ball into Edey. Yeah…but they won. I’d rather be boring and victorious than an entertaining loser. 

True, but i would prefer to have a modern enjoyable style of play that is setting up a sustainable way of recruiting while also winning.  I want my cake and eat it in the bed i made

Bringing over your response to this thread...

I'd insert Gallo as the 3 in your fast lineup. 

Step 1 of the rebuild - assembling the roster- is coming together nicely.

Now we just need to see step 2- this team learning to play together- and step 3- coaching and in game adjustments to take advantage of this roster- to fall into place. 

Those are the 64k questions right there.  Can we take the pieces we have and turn them into something enjoyable to watch and win games.  As we say every year, we have talent.  We should be able to compete for a top 3 and a long Tourney run.

That's the $64 dollar question...

This explains the guidelines...

But I think anyone who believes these kids are visiting and signing without numbers being negotiated are only fooling themselves...And I'd think year to year would be all they're good for with the way the portal is bustling...

So each year they have a chance to negotiate for another NIL deal?  That has to be exhausting for everyone involved.  

I have a question about the NIL and the "Extra" money i heard was added this year.

Is this extra money only for this year?  Do these players we're buying get this extra money for the whole time they are at IU or just this year?  Is a NIL deal for the whole time they play for a school or can they negotiate each year?

I really don't have much of an idea what rules are around the NIL

Woodson could win #6 and people would complain that we weren’t undefeated. 
 

We could go undefeated and people would complain that we got lucky too many times. The wins weren’t convincing enough. 
 
We could go undefeated and win every game by 30 and the same people would complain that it wasn’t the “old B10 home and home schedule” so it doesn’t count as much. And we had more than 2 players that weren’t from Indiana. 🙄

 

Translation: some people aren’t happy unless they’re complaining, and some people will never be totally happy with IU basketball until the remains of RMK are reanimated and the calendar says 1978 again. 

Thats true for sure, we could also lose every game and people would still be singing sunshine and petting puppies lol

Can we merge this into the mega thread for all Mike Woodson type things

Wait... Aren't you one who loves the idea of woody being canned?

(this should be understood as a postive comment, since it's about your love), right? 

Actually he is a big defender of coach Woodson. Stop looking for a fight. 

It's Zoltan

the current NIL and Transfer Portal guidelines is gutting college basketball.  At some point, schools will need to start having kids sign contracts with buyouts to keep them at one place longer than a year.

New offseason, same optimism. 

How many times have we said top 1-3 conference, second weekend, top 25 team over the last 20 years.

I have zero expectations for IU basketball.  So at least when they are good i will be surprised and excited.

Yes it is all in the recruiting board

Sorry i don't ever go to the recruiting board.  I thought we would talk about it in the transfer portal thread.  Oh well

Or this

Anyone hearing anything about this?

Listening to 107.5 a little awhile ago and they had a guy on that has a radio show down in Kentucky. He was actually the most sensible UK guy O have ever listened to. He said the main reason Drew turned down the job was that his wife didn't think she could handle the circus around UK basketball. This guy also said that UK fans needs to stop being delusional in thinking UK can just pick whatever coach they want.

Scott i usually think you're crazier than a pet racoon but you have always stood by your stance that P6 coaches don't want to leave for other school even for big money.  And 10mil+ a year being thrown around by UK is big money.

And they were throwing around double digit a year salary i think?  Might have to pony up a huge signing bonus, something  like 25mil.  Or go with a fully guaranteed contract type of thing.

Kerr has stated the reason Trayce is staying in the starting lineup, isn’t because of how he affects the offense but because of how he affects not just his defense but Draymond’s as well!

Dreymond can't retire or get injured fast enough.  He was a pile of shit at MSU and he is a pile of steaming shit as a professional.  Not good for the game at all.

It is probably exhausting for older coaches to do all the things needed to stay at the front of the pack fro recruiting, evolving offensive and defensive schemes, NIL, and player personalities. 

Honestly i could see Beard out of left field.  They could get him on the cheap.
