  1. Yep GS should have transitioned off Draymond and Klay and never added Paul. If they wanted another window with Steph they should have full on tore it down after their championship and definitely last year for a quick reload.
  2. It’s also about being in the right situation….playing in GS is a bigs dream….the spacing and attention that Curry, Thompson and company provide…the vision of Paul…helps him tremendously. Trayce fits the pro game much better than banging in the B1G with 7’0 280 centers night in and out playing back to basket. He plays well facing up and in space where he can use his athleticism.
  3. Yep…no doubt the playing time and money we could offer played a huge roll in us jumping in on this one. To me this is less about Coach Woodson and it’s purely being IU and the current empty roster that landed this kid.
  4. Fundamentally pretty sound. Quick release on his three (like to know his splits), gets to his spots. Good athleticism. A bit slim so he won’t be able to back down much stronger guards next year so he is going to have to find other ways to get to his shot…but yes this is a good pickup.
  5. Yep…some areas have really grown fast…combine that with school consolidations plus the loss of manufacturing jobs in some areas and it’s changed a lot of the demographics. People that used to live in small urban towns to send their kids to a small local school no longer have a reason to live there…town dies when school closes and it just speeds up the process of migration.
  6. If you recruited the kid in HS…you already have their contacts…and you will just keep reaching out all season long. Imo this is something the B1G should put a stop to. If another B1G coach reaches out before a kid enters the portal…suspensions to the coaching staff.
  7. I actually think IU men’s basketball is the joke. The women’s team is very enjoyable to watch…wish I could say the same about the men.
  8. Live in Texas with no income tax in one of the most culturally diverse large cities in America playing for a defensive minded coach or come to Indy for a little more money but probably lose it in taxes….not a tough decision. I’d pick Houston too.
  9. Man he looked terrible vs UConn…I was interested for a minute but definitely second guessing myself.
  10. Imo which counts for nothing….kid is super raw and would need a ton of good coaching….big project and kids like this don’t seem to stick around for that these days.
  11. Nope and she is crazy…living in Kentucky and heard the stories….there is a hotness to crazy ratio definitely doesn’t work out in this case.
  12. Sell it to a family member. If none want to buy it then it won’t matter…won’t stay in the family after they die anyways. Otherwise sell and downsize…although best solution is to not divorce. If you are of retirement age and wanting a divorce…something tells me it should be given every attempt to be worked out. A whole life invested with someone would be an awful thing to throw away if there isn’t something very seriously wrong. I’d hope people at that age are mature enough to learn how to work through their issues and extend some grace to one another…but I know times are changing.
  13. Looks like he is playing against 5th graders…worst defense I’ve ever seen. I can’t tell anything about him other than yes he is athletic….but the competition looks terrible!
  14. At this point I don’t believe anything Woody is peddling. I’m sure he is selling quite the story to makeup for losing his lone 24 recruit and is now on the hot seat.
  15. Imo go 2 preseason games…18 regular season. Two bye weeks with everyone that plays on Thursday night coming off one of those byes. Easy peasy.
  16. Yep…would be a great 4. Doubt he goes anywhere with such family ties to the school.
  17. Dickinson is just well…a d!ck….he throught very highly of himself. I wouldn’t put his unhappiness as a signal Michigan doesn’t have NIL support.
  18. That same article shows exactly why you don’t build in free agency. Grigson made huge swings and effectively ended Lucks career. The Sneed deal was good to pass on. We aren’t a corner away….let the Titans make that mistake. They make huge splash in free agency and are still the worst team in the division. Also Ballard made a big swing by trading a first to SF, making moves for Wentz and Ryan…he has taken big swings. It’s a silly article…and pointless because Ballard isn’t going anywhere right now.
  19. Believe it when I see it. Easy to say until you have the money sitting there in front of you.
  20. I think you have to trust your ability to cultivate your own. You keep passing over your own recruits by bringing in outside players you will lose them.
  21. Until he he sees he won’t get drafted and how much money he will pass up. It’s a business decision to leave…and will be a business decision to stay. Nothing will change draft wise by staying another year. He will just miss out on a pay day if he goes.
  22. We can’t talk…Race was here forever and Galloway and Leal will be collecting social security next year. but just like Bacot has no NBA future he stayed to make that NIL $$ I can see Edey do the same next year.
