I love both of them. My concern came from watching Purdue this year. I think both of their guards are solid, but when you're playing so small (and young) at both guard positions, you're going to find teams that exploit that. We exploited Purdue and so did many others as the year went further along. I'm hesitant that both would work together, but I absolutely see a scenario where one starts and the other is coming off the bench to get their minutes at some point in their career.

Hey man I totally get it. Bucket game or a weekend iu/pu basketball game would have to be a special occasion though! We need to find a few of us that would be able to scoot away for a few hours and make an evening out of it. I miss being able to watch a game without having to explain what the hell is going on lol

I appreciate it. It's tough being so far away from everybody, especially during football and basketball seasons! If you know anybody on the board who still lives down this way, send them over to the thread!

Chaos, by Tom O'Neill or The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross by John M. Allegro. Chaos is about how the Manson Family was supplied with LSD via a secret CIA operation in San Francisco, then subsequently the same CIA official in charge of that operation was also the man who was tasked with evaluating Jack Ruby after killing Lee Harvey Oswald. It intertwines 3 great conspiracies and shows the corruption of the government in pushing their narratives on several defining points in American History. The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross is about the use of mushrooms in ancient times and how those mushrooms have a deep, deep connection to the Bible and many stories that are told in the Bible. This is a very intensive read.

Hey guys, I'm newer here on the board, but I have seen that there are others who live in SWFL. I currently live in Naples, FL, and I'm trying to get a group of Hoosier fans together for football/basketball watch parties at some point next fall/winter. I was just wondering if anyone else on the board would be interested in getting some guys together.

You’re basically playing Russian roulette on the roadways down here. Old man in a Ferrari has no issues taking a bicyclist out or a family of 4 in a minivan.

Rick Barnes be damned. I'm still hopeful Woody has some magic left after Ware. I drove across the bridge down here in Naples on the way to work today, didn't once think about jumping. I think we will be fine.

Oh, i was just seeing it was made on 4/20 from the peegs.com guy for a SG to oregon. I know Knecht was CB'd to oregon last week, but the development of that new CB made me think something else may be going on behind the scenes with Knecht. Maybe just me being hopeful and looking too much into it. I know Knecht isn't a SG, but he's playing a similar style to me it seems like.

Just saw on 247 that someone crystal balled a SG to Oregon. Does that still leave us a shot to get Knecht on campus?

i'd completely agree with that. he does find some of guys that fly under the radar. But, in general, consistently highly ranked recruits are the ones who develop into the playmakers in college. transfer portal has to be IU's best friend moving forward.

I was literally looking at the same thing earlier in the day and now I believe, if I’m correct, 4/10 of our highest ranked players were on the team and transferred away within the last 2 years. That’s not a great trend. I value Tom Allen’s recruiting ability since he arrived here, given our previous classes, but we just get so few it’s a hard pill to swallow.

and with that quote, sir, you have won the day.

dear god. i need a gummy.

serious question, and I could probably find the answer somewhere, but I'd rather get intel from the board. When do the dominos stop falling? does the portal have a close date? I know there are NBA draft deadlines and deadlines to get your name out of the draft, but when could we reasonably expect our roster to be complete?

ok so that goes to show that Knecht isn't afraid to move further from home. Which i suppose is a positive for us, if we could get him on campus.

I caught the tail end of the channel 4 era. Still have the lingering visions of luke recker (meh), michael lewis, a.j. guyton, and andre patterson. I also still have the channel 4 visions of a 1/6 full memorial stadium and IU being down 40 to any and all big ten team. It was the best of times and the worst of times. Now, someone tell woody to get on the phone with matthew cleveland!

Same. Could always count on ND being on TV on Saturday afternoon, growing up as a young kid (and obviously now). Dad was an ND football fan because that's all he could watch as a kid and that's how I was brought up. Indiana basketball, however, I live and die by. I'm also an alum, so trying to explain how I like ND football (and IU too) and IU basketball to my wife has been, well, difficult.

He's from atlanta. with all the connections Ya has down in Georgia, things might heat up.

I think you go directly to matthew cleveland. FSU wing that just entered the portal. give him everything you were going to give to knecht, add 20%. I honestly believe that Woodson isn't messing around, at all. he came to indiana to win national championships, as he stated at his presser. He's going to go get the best guys he can possibly get, swing and miss on a few, but he's going after exactly what he needs to win championships. get dudes, win championships.

Yea I can’t even understand what that tweet means. I mean I’m 34, think I’m pretty savvy on technology levels and lingo, but what am I missing here?

Most assume he will back off his pledge with the announcement from filipowski

any chances that Kenya uses his east coast connections to land Mackenzie Mgbako? Filipowski just announced he's coming back for a 2nd season. Maybe this kid is the answer at the 4. From 247: His shot-making from behind the arc is his best asset. He can also make the types of shots that translate to the next level - pick-and-pop threes, slipping out of ball screens to make shots on the move, or creating space with a series of side-step or step-back shots.

shawn philips in the portal. I believe we recruited him out of HS.

when's the crystal ball coming? over/under 8 pm tonight?

Looks to be from every outlet I’m seeing.
