I know this sound different but I hope Jordan stays. He reminds me of a more subdued less obnoxious Thomas Bryant in terms of energy. He had a fire in him that I didn't see in most other players. Not to mention his insane raw talent that I think CMW can turn into NBA level talent after another couple years. I hope he stays.

Time for the Chinese fire drill of college bball coaches!

I have one myself and dear lord she thinks she rules the roost and demanding beyond belief! I love her beyond measure but man she is a Minnie me version of her mother and she has no filter to understand when to turn the demanding off. I was actually thinking the same thing. Wait until he has a 2 year old. He'll change his mind quickly!

No he is just really enjoying retirement.

I know. I figured I would join in on the April Fools! Haha.

Guys we can't catch a break!

I did see that thank you. Sorry should have specified anyone besides AD. Haha.

So are we finding out anything dealing with our guys in the portal?

Do you think CMW will bring in an NBA skills development specialist as an assistant coach?

Also another aspect because CMW is 63 he won't be here forever. So that means if we recreate our brand and bring back IU basketball we will need to hire from within. That means an assistant that is most likely an IU guy. Now what better way to train the next coach than to have not 1 not 2 but 3 former head coaches, one now head coach of IU, training you. That wisdom that you can gain from 3 head coaches is beyond fathomable. Also all 3 head coaches have extremely impressive resumes and no slouches. Just another viewpoint.

Also who would be a good hire for developing bigs?

I hope we can get an assistant that is a shooting specialists or get a shot doctor in over the summer. I know our guys lost confidence cause of the messed up offense but still never will hurt!

I mean the last 2 paragraphs are pretty telling on how the team rolled. The offense was micromanaged to the point of making the players lose confidence. There was major confusion in the offense too because of the same reason. There was a hierarchical system put in place. Younger guys playing weren't allowed mistakes or they were yanked. I mean you can see why there might be locker room problems a little bit and why you saw Archie lose the locker room.

You need some ginko biloba to even remember the last time you had wood? Haha.

Just wondering of the players who do you think is out the door no matter what? I know Durham is. I hope that is it although other people's thoughts are Geronimo is out the door. I hope we don't lose him. He is the type of player to help build an awesome senior laden team, the get old stay old mantra. If though he doesn't want to play for IU then I will wish him and anyone who does choose to leave the best wishes and thank them for doing their level best!

I wonder if they played checkers or chess and Keady was winning. If he was I could see Keady starting to belly laugh and Bobby throw the board! Haha.

So here is a recruit we could look at for 2021 to kind of work out in the mold of Purdues bigs...Harold Yu. He is 7'3" and looks raw but looks like he has some potential. I know that is for 2021 just thought I would add here. That would fill out our size issue. Haha.

Well I do know we have offered him which is awesome! Just got to make sure we keep him away from little brother and the green toadies up north!

Nope just looking on sites and saying that we are warm in terms of recruitment. I will acquiesce to someone with alot more knowledge though on this. Figured I would drege up this thread since we have moved on from 21 although I think there might be a couple more guys that would be possible gets in that class.

Supposedly we are in the running for Jalen Washington! That would be a huge get from in state 22 class even though he is in the region.

Any news on him or has the ship sailed?

I hope not. I hope CAM can land at least one more big in a transfer or recruit. I mean seriously PU can get these 7 footers that become serviceable to monsters year 3 and 4. Wisconsin does the same thing with their bigs. I hope CAM can start to enter into that line of recruiting even though I know he likes fleet footed bigs to run his up tempo offense.

In a twist of events Bob Knight knows he's going against Mike Davis' team so he decides he wants to go golfing early for lack of competition. During the game Knight gets right in Valentine's mustache after a call that even would have made Ray Charles say WTF! Knight uses his favorite word in a litany of different and colorful ways. Gets ejected from not two but three technicals. As Bob Knight is walking towards the hall he turns and hunts Valentine out. So he walks right in front of him stops and turns his butt to him bows to the crowd and farts right in front of Valentine letting him know exactly how stinky that call was and proceeds to go get his clubs for the links. Because of the three techs Rod Wilmont steps up to the line to take 6 foul shots. After that harrowing display by Knight it shakes Wilmonts confidence in turn leads to Rod Wilmont rifeling all the foul shots off the back iron except one that magically went in. The 72 and 73 Hoosiers dispatch the 04 and 05 teams early in the second half and never look back.

After looking he looks like an Iowa or Wisconsin type of big. Although if he has a nice touch around the rim can rebound and pass out of the all the better.

Hey just found out Kobe Bryant was killed in a helicopter accident!
