I dated a Purdue cheerleader for 2 years during my time and IU. I have never forgiven myself, nor have I ever hated Purdue more.

Damn people....chill.  The announcements will come when they come. 

Go drink a beer, smoke a j, whatever you do to relax. 😂

Check and, double check

Remember, all of these guys are on 1 year contracts now! But the team we are assembling for the next rendition of the Hoosiers seems to be shaping up well!

I’ve been watching this thread all day. Now I can chime in. Simply said: hell yes

I'll be the first to say welcome back, but am going to be absolutely useless on the rest. 😂

One I don't live in the Indy metro area and two....well, I guess I'm part masochist and would try doing all of that myself sans roof. 

I appreciate the reply either way! I’ve found that I’m more destructive that helpful in terms of household projects lol 

Hey everyone! My wife and i are finally moving back from Florida to the Indianapolis area. We are going to be new at doing a lot of the maintenance of the lawn ourselves, and we are looking for reliable contractors, plumbers, roofers, (insert anything you could think of). We just would love to compile a list of people who do business the right way. I appreciate any insights you can offer!

Purdue is the best team with the best coach in the conference by a wide margin.

They have everything they need to win it all this year.

And still won’t

Soooo, where’s Sisley going? Must’ve clicked in the wrong thread

Love this. Guessing IU will steal some value from JMU in terms of players. If IU can keep a good mixture of the portal guys mixed with some of the JMU talent… I don’t see why IU can’t win 6+ next year. 

I have looked at our schedule consistently over the past 10-15 years, and each year I have the same thought. “No reason we can’t win 6+”…and, almost every year, we don’t. I’ve just been so beaten down by the program over the years that I’ll have to see the evidence before I can reliably predict such things again. I am really hoping the tide turns in our favor this time.

Wonder how Coaches passing affects the timing or the decision?🤷‍♂️

Probably no correlation at all, but I appreciate the fact that he didn't announce within the last couple of days, especially if it were to somewhere else. 

We should have a decision within the next few days correct?  Very quiet for the last week. 

Watching ESPN last night, looking at the bottom line, I saw it.  I immediately grabbed my phone and was going to text my father.  He had already texted me the news of Coach's passing, which I hadn't seen.  The text after that was a picture of my father and Coach after a game (my dad did security for overtime pay for the games).  I didn't think I'd be that upset about it (I thought it would be coming at some point soon), but that picture with Coach and my dad hit hard.  Sitting in front of our oversized TV, watching channel 4, listening to Don on the radio coming back from practices, all with my dad.  It's like a chapter closing for the both of us, and me subconsciously thinking about the inevitable passing of my father, as he is getting older. 

My last day as a educator is tomorrow.  And, as an educator (I know there are a few on here), I always tried to instill the same values that I learned from both my dad and Coach Knight.  Hard word, perseverance, dedication, etc.  Coach made an impact on countless lives and his legacy will live on forever amongst the greats, and I just hope I've had the same type of impact on the kids that I have taught through the years.  We have lost another great man.  One with morals, standards, and an insatiable thirst for perfection.  Not too many of those still around.  Ride high, Coach.  

I have to believe that the benefit, of having 3 (current or prior) players that are familiar with the program, is playing in our favor.  Familiarity, especially for an 18 year old kid, can be a big factor.  Especially if one of your best friends is pulling you one way.  I don't think this gets talked about enough.  

At least he announced it on Wednesday so I only have to be completely worthless for 2 days instead of the 4.5 for boogie.

Something to think about.

If Xavier Johnson and Boogie Fland opposed each other on the court today, who would have the upper hand?  My money is on X.

That is not intended to be a swipe at Boogie.  He very likely will have the more successful professional basketball career.

But, I think most of us would be in agreement that winning titles in the court is more important to our 'fandom' than winning every single recruiting battle.

PG is the most important position on a basketball team.  Experience plays a bigger part in the success of a PG than it does at any other position.

I'm not saying we always need a 6th year guy like X as our PG.  But, what I am saying is that, especially in the 'portal mania' world we have today, that championship level PG is easier to get ahold of than ever before.

Regardless of what school Boogie chooses, Mike Woodson knows what he is doing and will have someone ready to take over for X next year.

It may be Cupps.  It may be an experienced transfer.  Heck, it may even be Boogie since he's not officially announced.  

Give this coaching staff the benefit of the doubt.  It will all work out in the long run.

astute

why is Haralson not attending?  seems to be the first guy i would have locked up for HH.

So you're telling me there's a chance........

did we get an official "it's over"?  or am I missing something here.  sorry, due to unforeseen events, i actually had to teach for a minute.

For me, trying to analyze this message is like trying to identify what my wife is thinking lol.  just not happening unless its explicitly said. 

I've got 11 days left of teaching, as I transition to a new career.  Good thing I didn't plan on trying to teach anything new today anyways.

I heard it was Ya                                       

That surprises me, and you could be completely right (I have 0 info to back up this claim), but doesn't Kenya seem to hit the East coast and Ya is the Southern region recruiter?
