Why do those Hoosier Hysterics creeps have access to our basketball team and recruits? Did you guys see that video of them and Fears? 100% cringeworthy. They are the weirdest of weird. Get them out of here. 

Absolutely agree.  Embarrassing for IU.  

This is not an attempt to guess starters exactly, but more intended as a discussion starter, but also because I can hardly wait for the season to begin. 
 

Anchors:

TJD

Race

X

Kopp

Bates

Rotation guys:

Stewart

Geronimo

Durr

Galloway

Phinisee

Leal

(and on Leal, thought he was underutilized by Archie.  Smart, unselfish, and a potential breakout 3-pt. threat, he could help if given an opportunity)

Likely struggle to get minutes:

Lander

Duncomb

Nice build already for a Sophomore in HS. Smart for IU to get him on campus early in case he blows up in the coming months which is very possible especially since he's from right there in IU's backyard. 

He is a junior.  

Woody, coaches and Clowney group at Buffalouie’s at the moment.

Saw them in the carts on 10th but couldnt get the camera out in time.  2 carts, lots of coaches. Hot day in Btown, was a little distracted if you know what I mean.

I hear thee

Paging IndyKev…where are your photos and updates on Mr. Clowney’s visit?

First, Rob Phinisee seems to be a quality person, but seems a better fit off the bench with the influx of guards.  Fact is the roster is dramatically improved over last season and that may lead to a key role off the bench for Rob.

Starters guess:

X

Bates

Stewart

Race

TJD

He’s Duke bound 

Yep.  Duke insider and Pegram have both moved this direction.  Done deal. Duke will ride momentum for a while, but only winning will keep Duke Duke.

Happy early father's day to everyone.  Thought i'd share something my wife got me for father's day (she obviously gave it to me early lol).  To say it was awesome was an understatement, especially coming from one of my favorite players ever.

 

A.J. Moye wishing me happy father's day

Dang, Nuts.  All I got was an early gift of Ciroc.  Now I am ruined to drink pedestrian vodka again.  

Games are bonus.  The goals seem to be building relationships on the team and 10 full squad practices.  Currently, coaches are only permitted time with 6 players at a time and 4 hours per week of group instruction.  

My bad.  I guess posting at 3.30 in the morning is a bad idea. 

This from our guy Schumann:

”Indiana offered Banks a scholarship soon after new assistant coach Yasir Rosemond was hired in April.  Rosemond hails from Atlanta and trained Banks before joining the staff.”

This is a different Kaleb. But I like your thinking about Banks. 

I am not following what you mean.  Kaleb is from ATL, and was doing private workouts with Rosemond, prior to his hire with us.  

Yasir Rosemond, IU asst, was holding workouts with Kaleb Banks before accepting the IU role.  We are in primary position for this to be our 2nd 2022 recruit (Gunn).

Forgot about the ketchup rumors. Seems like it will be Durr though.

Oh man.  Therapy sessions straight ahead trying to remove this visual.  

Never got his feet under him.  I admire his class in participating in team workouts and finishing the semester before going to the portal.  
 

Hunter had a tough run here.  Serious blood clot condition his frosh year he never seemed to recover from in terms of confidence.  Jerome’s talents were never utilized, and always seemed in the doghouse.  He did need to work on his defensive want-to, but still disappointed to see him leave.  
 

That said, excited to see who Coach gets.  Dare I mention: pass the ketchup.  

In sharp contrast to a productive and positive first month on the job by Mike Woodson, there is this update on the former IU Head Coach.  All sounds painfully familiar.

Masshole = Keion Brooks, Jr. 

Until he is in the portal: fantasy.  Period.  

By week’s end:

Franklin leaves

X Johnson arrives

Race leaves

Brooks arrives??

I like the way you think but IUScott was told by Henry's dad, NBA or back to MSU. iFthat happened u still could get your guard. Hunter would be in the portal in 2 seconds.

Nix that then!  Hunter, Geronimo, Lander, and others will take off next year. 

With Fife coming, not asking for much. 
 

Bring Aaron Henry, Brooks enters portal and comes to IU, get Franklin back and let’s get to next season already. 

Just a hunch.  Baylor finishing season last night...Xavier Johnson to Baylor, and would love to be wrong.  
 

What is needed more?  A PG like Johnson, Cone, etc?  Or, a scorer?
