Sorry, been gone for a few days. Ballo is done đź‘Ť Hickman đź‘Ť And I'm still hearing Conwell.27 points

I know a lot of people don't like the Ballo fit with MR, but Ballo is a beast. He is a double/double machine and gets a lot of his points on putbacks. He had 281 offensive rebounds last season. The entire IU team only had 288. He also doesn't get in foul trouble. He only averages 2.1 fouls/game. No way IU can pass on this guy.22 points

God forbid we get a little excited about the amount of talent we have brought in this off season. Shame on us.17 points

Kanaan Carlyle scouting report on 247 in HS, which projected him as an eventual first rounder: "Carlyle is a dynamic ball in hand player with terrific length for his size who can create scoring opportunities for himself on demand. He is simply wired to score from all three levels and never has seen a shot he does not like. His handle is as good and tight as anyone in the class and he can get by a defender with his speed and quickness. While he is primarily a scorer, he is terrific at making attacking plays off the dribble with his excellent handle and when the bucket opportunity does not present itself, he is more than willing to make the right find. What is better than his ability to score is his mindset. His mentality is elite as he is a tough and fierce competitor who is always in full attack mode. His constant aggression is what makes him positively productive. Defensively, he has the length and the foot speed to be elite and devastating on that side of the floor. A terrific two-way guard, Carlyle most certainly projects a reliable scorer who plays through most injuries and goes to war like each game is his last"17 points

I get it. But it comes off as disrespectful. We don't know exactly what happened. But what has come out shows Mac may have been as much as a victim as anyrhing, and then handled it poorly. But he was 18, just moved away from home and had what appears to be a pretty truanatic experience occur. For adults to refer to him by a nickname referencing that episode just makes me a little uneasy. It's not endearing, it's a cheap jab at a kid many many months after the fact. Just my opinion.17 points

Just a quick message of appreciation to Newton and Cupps. They could have easily taken the portal route but seem genuinely engaged in bringing talent to IU. Appreciate you guys and hope you ball out next season!16 points

Things aren't over with Essegian and their is mutual interest with IU and Power. Ya and Walsh are on Power15 points

per Tony Ardagna this is good info for everyone to remember. Shooting is fun & all, but you need creators for most knockdown shooters to even matter. Carlyle & Rice are both high-level creators. They will greatly help overall offensive movement. Spacing could be a lot better with just a little bit of an improvement from those two and their ability to shoot the 3.15 points

That's true... But there are also the criticisms of Woody that have been proven to be BS...Remember the "mass exodus?" The "what guard would want to play in his offense?" "The players all hate him?" The people that tried to pass those fairy tales will never own up... And I'm not looking for any victory lap over all this...As you said, let's see the product on the floor... But I can already here the excuses if we look good...14 points

Here's my two cents. With Tucker, Rice, and Ballo we've already crushed the offseason. If/when Carlyle says yes that's even better. No disrespect to the Hickman or Essegian types but they won't move the needle like the above. If Essegian comes great. If not....find another.14 points

As an employee of IU this is very biased and one sided. The president has done a lot of great things like centralization to reduce costs and increase support. Plus her push make IU more student centric instead of just faculty centric is the move all schools need to make to survive. Plus reduced fees for students at IU. No more siphoning money from students where I know schools and departments were using those fees to support things that did not apply directly to the students. Also in my area no one has been let go/RIFed to make these things happen. Faculty across all the campuses do not understand the new landscape of higher ed. Regional IU campuses will close soon if they don’t get on board. Lots of things I could get into but won’t as I don’t want to cause discord.13 points

Huh, can't imagine why anyone would feel the impulse to dunk on comments like this... Brother, there won't be any games until November. Good things are happening right now. We might have a dynamic, playmaking backcourt for the first time since Yogi left. If you think the very real shift in how Woodson & staff are recruiting and building their roster is just donors buying recruits, I'm not sure what Indiana Basketball could do to make you happy this spring, or summer. Maybe sit things out for a while. Replying back to downplay every piece of good news that might happen over the next six months sounds exhausting.12 points

Exactly. Offensive efficiency is about more than just 3P%. It's about being able to attack a defense in multiple ways. Kanaan Carlyle is a three level scorer. Myles Rice is a scorer and distributor. Keisei Tominaga, everyone's favorite shooter, right? Shot just 33% from 3 his first year at Nebraska, on 3.6 attempts per game. Ryan Conwell, the shooter everyone wants from the portal, shot just 30% as a freshman at South Florida in the AAC. Even Connor Hickman, over 40% as a junior, had a sophomore year at Bradley wherein he shot 33.6%. We have to stop looking at 3P% as the sole indicator of a player's worth.12 points

I'm not a big I told you so type of guy. Never been my make up. I say what I think and if it checks out cool....if it doesn't I'll try to understand what I wasn't seeing. BUT....if we land Rice and Carlyle and Bollo....throw in a side dish of one of the other bigs with Hickman from outside and you add that pot of goodies to Malik, Mack, and Trey and our McD's AA Tucker....we will have something pretty serious pretty quick. Hope this all plays out.12 points

Long time listener, first time caller…can someone explain to me how this poster is allowed to continue to post on this board as he ridicules IU’s head coach? @Purdue 7 congrats on having the best player in college basketball the last 2 years and finally losing to a single seed. Hang a banner next to your Helms banner from 1776 🙄12 points

As I just DM'd someone else, tamperings the issue here. Theres been talks for a while ever since ISU's coach rumored to be leaving (during the NIT). But at this point, cheat away, we suck.12 points

Guys... getting Carlyle and Tucker would be fantastic. They seem like they'll be on college campuses for two more years. I mean, and for good reason, we are frustrated as heck with Woodson not bringing in enough guards/wings/and youth... those two would suffice all that. Also... it's possible SO Carlyle > FR Boogie Fland12 points
