  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 $$ I can see Edey do the same next year.
  4. Maybe I’m wrong but Grover was one of the highest rated run stopper. I agree Ballard has hit on all the positions that aren’t what I would call game changers..but he isn’t on the hot seat. As long as Richardson isn’t a flat out bust he will get a few more years. Irsay sees him as family. I’d say he has more support in the organization than Woody has on the BOT.
  5. Bacot is like Edey…keeps those elbows high and clears the way.
  6. Michigan St offense looks as stagnant as ours.
  7. But none of those bigs can guard Edey…so they will be in deep foul trouble.
  8. Irsay doesn’t like to change coaches or GMs. He values continuity. Ballard is no where close to the hot seat…so he has plenty of time. Good or bad it’s just how it is. Plus Indy doesnt have the money for the guaranteed contracts. It’s about the money that has to be put into escrow. They’ve spent a bunch on their own with those big contracts.
  9. This NC vs MSU game is being played like a B1G game…advantage MSU. Very physical.
  10. I think Ballard is playing the long game…looking 2-3 years out.
  11. Their bigs will be in foul trouble immediately and then there will be none of those pick and pop 3s. Its a bad matchup for Gonzaga.
  12. Ballard builds through the draft. It just is who he is. He trusts his ability (correct or not) to identify talent in the draft. I’d be shocked if we don’t take a corner with our first pick. There should be a couple elite ones sitting there. He will get a safety in the draft as well later on and then supplement in free agency after the $$ drops. There are a ton of veteran safeties available and even some interesting corners that could move over to the roll.
  13. Ballards interest was just pushing up the price tag for Titans.
  14. Hopefully Auburn is #2 on his list so if Pearl replaces Woody we don’t lose any ground. 😉
  15. Ughh..he was literally twice as bad this year as last year…and I didn’t want him last year. Does Woody’s staff just looks at measurables or do they even care if a kid is a winning player.
  16. I think neither match up well with Purdue.
  17. I don’t believe it. If they don’t win it all I could easily see him coming back for more guaranteed NIL money. He will never make as much in the nba on two way contracts as what he can make at Purdue.
  18. I believe he still has a Covid year. No lock he leaves.
  19. He would have the same role here. If he is cool with a rotational piece then sure..but I suspect he would stay where he is if that’s the case or step down a level to start somewhere at a mid major.
  20. Got it…no I understood like a mask like the pitchers wear sometimes after they’ve been nailed by a line drive…I guess i didn’t understand the correlation with IU fans…I think most are happy ANYONE is staying after this crappy season. I don’t think anyone expects much from Newton. I’d be surprised he plays much at all. Not sure if he was even practicing full contact yet. If he could even give us 5-7 minutes of defense I’d be thrilled.
  21. Is that a thing?? Never heard of this in my life. Obviously you must have witnessed it before once…but even if you did do you think perhaps that there could have been a medical reason why that might happen and perhaps that’s the bravest thing someone can do is to be out there playing because they love the game but have a legitimate medical condition?? I mean I don’t know because I’ve never heard of this but I suppose if I did I might not assume why they are and have a conversation with them.
  22. Well I do love my wife. Not only is she beautiful and a wonderful mother…she is a good cook and has a good govt job that makes more money then me and will have a very good pension…..so I kinda hit the jackpot! ….and yes she was looking over my shoulder while I typed all that! 😉🤣
  23. Gentleman’s agreement not to recruit each others players?? If I was a commish I’d say no recruiting each others players. Let’s not eat our own. I guess at least not until they have gone in the portal…but most these teams reach out before I imagine.
