Inequality

What does this post mean exactly?

Im not sure of the status Macs knee but we will need her vs Iowa.

Fix the issues. Return to the powerhouse Blue Blood you once were and the noise goes away. Take accountability instead of passing blame on folks that support you from afar and have zero input on daily task. Thats what losers do. Sit around and whine about how others are cheating or are to blame instead of identifying the problem and figuring out how to fix it. You cant simply show up in stripes with a ball and think the brand will magically carry you. You have to work for it. Through the noise. Facing adversity. Or, take the easy way out and find someone else to blame your troubles on.

If the ice cream stand has terrible ice cream or terrible service and folks go elsewhere leaving the Ice cream stand empty and with a bad reputation, is it the fault of the ice cream stand staff or the disgruntled customers who leave bad reviews? People are blaming the fans on twitter which is ludacrous to me. Should we the fans “fake it” in an effort to trick recruits? Or should accountability set with those who wear the label and are being paid to provide a service?

Its hard to say with all the different rumors circulating. It could be that Kenya Hunter knows he's out and he is the IU connection to Montverde. Maybe Woodson is staying and this years results and overall style of play has them realizing they don't want to play for Woodson and could be better utilized by Self while competing for a national title. I heard in the office several days ago that Woodson was announcing “retirement” just before B1G tourney. Lots of speculation happening and I don't have a clue what to believe.

Queen and now McNeely. Something is happening. I don't know what but I have a feeling its not status quo

Makes complete sense. Beef up NIL funds to buy the best players available in order to keep Woodson. Not surprising

I can get behind this

He will have his work cut out for him. He better round up some better advisors. Roster rebuild through portal and he hasn't yet shown ability to properly construct a roster. His best team was constructed by Archie Miller and Kenya Hunter (also Archies recruiter) recruits JHS & Malik. 4 new teams will shake things up. USC, UCLA, Washington, Oregon. IU better get it figured out quickly or it will be buried even deeper into the bottom of the league. It takes an entire season for his players to "just now starting to come together" - Kel'el Ware. Without Ware this season is pretty much winless but he dreams of X. Great games by X have been an anomaly and a great coach should know that. Woodson does not have another 1st round draft pick lined up to win games next season. I predict another train wreck season. 2026 looks to be a staff/roster rebuild so knowing that trajectory, why wait? Instead, gather some momentum by restarting now. If May goes to Ohio State, they will lock him down. Only way he makes the move to IU is for failing and at that point IU doesn't want him. Then again...

I’m not completely convinced the new rumors aren't just to tame the noise a bit until the season plays out. That said, we missed out terribly on Pat Kraft. The insanity around the Woodson hire & Woodson needing a coach to coach him while IU throws mega money at him is absurd. Cue the RMK Mickey mouse clip. I admit, being stuck with it, any hope that made sense revolved around Matta being added. A lot of us have said this. Rumor: Now its someones idea to retain him, let him clean house and bring on another coach to coach him to better results? Just get rid of Woodson and hire the advisor? I dont care how nice he is. Or that he was so down to earth and took pictures with me and my family or he was once a great basketball player. He isn't the answer.

Not watching. By the looks of this thread, same old story tonight?

Damage control before senior night crowd boos him out of Assembly Hall? Also two 2025 and two 2026 recruits in attendance. Odd that Dolson himself hasn’t made a public statement. Still not surprised if he's here till 2027. IU admin has proven to be a card short of a full deck for a good while now. I wouldn't get too worked up either way until the end of the season which is basically three games from now. Whats really going to be good is if Dusty ends up at Ohio State and spanks IU on their home floor.

Alford wont cut it. Period

I would be completely done with the mens basketball team if Alford hired. Which, I have found it really easy to ignore the last part of the season so meh. Whatevs

Me and 4 drinking buddies would have buried the program for much less.

IU has screwed this up so many times. They know what needs to happen. If a coach like Pearl wanted to come and they don't make it happen then to me that says they are satisfied with mediocrity and we should all just lower expectations.

Same. Pearls camp is playing both IU and Louisville woes to their own agenda. My opinion.

Ohio State and Lebron throwing a bag at Dusty if there is any truth to the rumors. I also don't think Pearl is coming here. Who then is it going to be?

Do it!!!

Language reminder: Easy on the profanity. If you’re wondering where your post went I have cleaned up the post themselves as well as post containing quoted profanity.

Lots of rumors surrounding Dusty May and Ohio State. I will be shocked if he is still at FAU next season.

I long for the days of making the NCAAT is the norm and a down year is lower half of the top 25. We've sank so low as a program that just making the tournament is a good year.

XJ is off more than he's on. Like Devonte was but no where near the offensive threat DG was. For a 6th year player he is what he is and he hasnt ever been a player I would put all my eggs in on or “dream about”. Smh

I’m out and about enjoying the nice weather. Anyone have score update?
