  1. 100%. Plus basketball will ALWAYS be a distant second, if not third, priority to Auburn and their fans. (My BIL played baseball there) People were barely engaged for most of the season. They got excited for the SEC tournament, but if they lose in the sweet 16, most of their fans will forget quickly and move on to spring football practice and baseball. Bruce would embrace the spotlight of being the Indiana head coach the way no coach has since RMK.
  2. If we could steal him, no brainer. The guy was building transfer teams years before the portal. Add in some Indiana recruits, and he'd kill it here.
  3. Exactly. And X is a very good on-ball defender with a ton of experience. Tominaga schooled Cupps with his movement, cuts, and overall savvy. As long as X stays out of foul trouble, he should give Tominaga problems.
  4. Well said. Waiting around for this IU administration, especially with QB as board chairman, to make a wise decision is beyond risky. We could squeak into the tournament as one of the last 4 in the next several years, and Woodson will be retained. That's not a risk with my career or finances I would be willing to take. If he kills it and wants to come home, pull a Roy Williams and do it then.
  5. If Malik stays, I would fear a Woody offense starting Malik and Queen together. Their games seem incredibly similar. Much rather have a rim protector that can shoot 3s, although those aren't easy to find.
  6. Absolutely beautiful take on the situation. Nothing personal. No conjecture. No rationalizing or making excuses. I wish he would follow your plan for everyone's sake.
  7. I believe he went to my high school, New Haven. Could be mistaken. Good luck to him.
  8. A Woodson retirement and Pearl hire would maintain one Indiana legacy, and create another one. Let's hope it happens!
  9. That was my bad. I didn't want to start a new thread to complain about a recruit that went elsewhere. I'm just frustrated.
  10. Exactly. No top recruit is gonna panic over Purdue's scholarship situation.
  11. This is my thought as well. How does Sisley look at Purdue's current system, albeit a successful one, and see how his skills will be utilized to their fullest? IU is a mess, but even playing MM's role, he can thrive as long as he can hit shots. Furst and TKR should be cautionary tales, not selling points. The Robbie Hummel role of 15 years ago no longer exists in Purdue's offense.
  12. Yes sir. His dad is his coach and was a point guard at Concord high school and Samford. Wish he was wearing candy stripes next year.
  13. We have a 6'5" 3 star combo guard that has deep range and runs point. His dad is from Indiana and loves IU. Son grew up cheering for the Hoosiers. Woody and staff barely talked to him. He's going to Creighton and gonna be a stud. Incredibly disappointing. https://247sports.com/player/ty-davis-46135344/
  14. Agree. He snaps the ball out with some serious pop. His entire footwork, body rotation, and arm motion are extremely efficient. He could operate very well in a tight pocket.
  15. For sure. In a perfect world Galloway is a sixth man, energy guy next season. Leal would provide leadership, depth, and experience. He's already demonstrated he thrives in that role, and doesn't require many minutes, if any, to be valuable to the team.
  16. Has Leal given any indication on whether he intends to play his additional season next year? It seems like he has a great mind for business and already has his career started. I'd love to have another year with him in whatever role the team needs.
  17. Not sure if it has been mentioned, but William Inge is joining Deboer's staff at Bama. I remind my Bama friends they are now Indiana South at Tuscaloosa!
  18. Style of play, but also the effort. That's the most concerning thing to me. Effort on defense, rebounding, and going for loose balls. Just a general lack of energy by the team and coaches. I'm not sure that's correctable at this point.
  19. She did, and was always very sweet. We had a running joke about her amazing meatloaf. I believe she corrected us and said her meatloaf is only average, but her lasagna was off the charts. Happy for her and Anthony's family after his performance the other night.
  20. He and Walker are similar players, and Walker consistently does more of what we need (rebounding and defense). Experience is huge.
  21. Great perspective. This year has been so frustrating, but it's a reminder when generational talent AND leadership graduate, there is a void that is hard to replace. Not saying TJD was Buckner, May, and company, but leadership wise, he was exceptional. We replaced most of the talent in the post with Ware and a much improved Reneau. However, no one has TJD's ability to lead. The glaring hole at lead scoring guard is obvious, but the lack of leadership is equally detrimental.
  22. The defense really improved when he was in the game. Illinois was isolating Cupps and taking advantage of him. Leal is taller, stronger, and much more experienced. He can switch and not put us in a disadvantage. Now he just needs to take and hit a couple 3s!
  23. Love it! If kids and they're handlers want big money and guarantees, prove your current market value. They have to be better than current team members, or the best available in the transfer portal. This cuts both ways. Role players, or those willing to take a traditional approach to development and playing time, will receive the value consistent with that market value.
  24. This would be the time to get both programs for sure.
