  1. I don’t think we can view the point guard position as singular any longer. So I’m not too sure that anyone would say anything about it. When it comes down to winning time, I’d bet that Woody would like to have his best ball handlers and free throw shooters on the floor together.
  2. Looking forward to seeing what this young man do to help the team.
  3. Sorry man, but it’s about to be busy again.
  4. This is all I know about the Love situation, according to some familiar with his time at UNC. Love is tremendously talented, but selfish, and not necessarily on the court, but rather as a teammate. He apparently slept with a couple of his teammates girlfriends last summer, fresh off of a big sophomore season. That obviously caused turmoil in the locker room. My take? Lots of upside, and a change of scenery could catapult him and the program. If he buys what Woody’s selling, the sky is the limit. Last season we wanted multiple threats to be multi-dimensional. He provides us with exactly that. Next year is going to be tough enough trying to gel an uber talented combination of bigs, with a couple of solid upperclassmen guards, mixed with some raw underclassmen.
  5. Not saying Cupps is anywhere near the defender that X is, but he’s quicker than he gets credited. Very nice first step on both ends. TG is an admirable defender in his own right.
  6. I know that the next commit likely comes from the combine… just trying to think of which one fits the mold. I’m getting more and more excited about the potential for next season. I can’t recall of any IU team in program history that had an entire front court full of 5 ✨ kids!
  7. You do realize that New Albany also played many games against other top talents across this region of the country while Romeo was there, right? Not just the HHC, who are legitimately considered one of the top HS conferences in the state.
  8. Absolutely agree here. Perry would be a fantastic addition, imo.
  9. Bottom line, the idea of a message board is fun for speculating and discussing IU hoops amongst other topics. That being said, I’m not following a bunch of young men and dissecting their social media accounts to gather information, or make an attempt to decipher where they may or may not be playing college basketball. I take any information from those willing to do so with a grain of salt. 🍻
  10. Even a player can change their mind after they’ve told certain people that they think they know where they want to go. It’s happened before.
  11. Wait… didn’t Ledlum follow the team, players and Martha? If so, I don’t think it matters as much, until the ink is dry.
  12. I feel the same way, as far as more/better wing options being available now. I think what gets people so fired up is that he was marked as a big IU target, and the staff thought that he was coming. Therefore folks were up in arms when he committed elsewhere. It is what it is, but there are plenty of guys available… finding the right fit to be competitive next season will be key.
  13. Look, I know that everyone is chomping at the bits to land the next commitment, but early in the portal… Ledlum was considered to be the 7th or 8th best transfer available. Just a few days ago, I believe someone here posted that he was 53rd best available. My point is that he’s a decent fish in an increasingly large lake. There’s going to be others from major programs moving into the portal and we’ll be claiming them to be the next must have. That being said, I do believe that the B1G has a major perception problem in hoops. They have to make changes that are more appealing to young men looking to showcase their abilities on the basketball court. I think Woodson has and will continue to make IU a destination, but the majority of the league lacks flash and/or any relative success aside from the Michigan teams, Purdue in the regular season, and an occasional run by Ohio State and Maryland team. IU sells prestige and tradition, but even we haven’t been consistent in the postseason in quite some time… although Woody and company are trending in the right direction.
  14. Slick Rick is going to have the Red Storm competitive sooner rather than later.
  15. I’m interested in a guy shooting a 37% clip from behind the and having a decent tournament run with the national champs. 🤷🏻‍♂️
  16. He ended up going to Washington, where Penix landed.
  17. Any word on Knecht? I heard days ago that he wanted to come for a visit, but nothing more. I also saw where many expect Oregon to win that… not sure. Lots of smoke with the KC rumblings. A reclassification allows him to improve against better comp and get paid. Those opposed remembering Lander, know that KL’s situation was different. There’s many more cases where reclassifying has been beneficial than not.
  18. Just leaving this here… the dominoes are about to start falling. Edit: I sent this earlier and got off, then get back on to see it still loading. 😂
  19. He can shoot some from 25 ft out. He isn’t as explosive from an athletic perspective, but knows his way around the rim. He has a lot of upside, but from what many here have previously stated, Altman couldn’t unlock the talent. Motivation was said to be an issue, but perhaps that changes with some new scenery.
  20. It’ll make sense soon. From what I’ve been told, Good Friday will be a great day for new beginnings, and we should hear more about another visit soon.
  21. I just heard that the sniper is part of the extended forecast… but watch for the falling nets!
  22. So tomorrow’s Good Friday forecast is calling for a combination of bright skies and better days ahead. Also appears to be a sniper in the horizon… so be on the lookout for falling nets.
