I could see it for a kid planning his future. Like, if I know I am a good college player but probably never going to be in the NBA, I take the redshirt for an extra year of free college. He could have a graduate degree completed in 5 years if he went the accelerated route through the summer.

I am just glad Edey is gone.

I don't know how any of you could hope these dorks win tonight. Littlest of little bro syndrome.

Nah, we are going to land players and people are going to spend from about May to November talking about how great all the dudes we have are and how deep we are and then we find out what the score really is starting in November. Without even seeing our roster, my guess is borderline tournament team. We will make the tournament and flame out in the first weekend and Mike Woodson will be praised for doing something with millions of dollars that Bob Knight did with Lynn Washington, Larry Richardson, and William Gladness as his big men....and yeah, yeah, unfair to compare Woodson to a hall of fame coach but that is kind of the point isn't it? 22-12 is your over/under. Gladly eat crow if I am wrong.

Dumb

At least he is having a good time...

Go Tennessee.

Respectfully, this is the equivalent of them bringing up the all time record in 1992....

Both of them are pretty good players but I don't think either would be worth dropping a million on.

All in on a 66 year old in his fourth year with zero recruits who needs to slap half to slightly more than half of his roster together in the portal with special extra money from 2 dumb@ss billionaires that support the school because he hasn't done half his job all year. I mean it is possible to win the hand 4 suited and needing to pull an inside straight, but that generally isn't the hand you want to go all in on. Yet here we are. Everybody who was in on making this call shouldn't be afforded the opportunity to pick the next coach if he fails. They should all follow him to unemployment. All of them.

Beard is never going to happen and I believe you are currently standing on shore and watching the SS Pearl pass you by. I fully expect May to do well at Michigan because Indiana is once again a day late and a dollar short on doing what is probably inevitable anyway. What are the odds we are sitting here 4 years from now saying, "If only we would have moved on from Woodson in year 3 when everyone realized he wasn't putting in the effort"? Stuff like this just lowers my already poor opinion of everyone running IU. Maybe we can have Purdue go on a Final Four run and put an exclamation point on their ineptness.

Gotta love it when your approach to team and program building gives you that built in excuse every year....

Yep. One of the 2 teams I like to see crash and burn down. 1 to go.

I went and looked up the Duke game. He scored 23 on 11-17 shooting but went 1-2 from 3 and had zero assists and 7 turnovers. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/boxscore/_/gameId/401574497 ETA: It looks like they mostly ran a 4 guard offense. So my assumption is that throughout the year he was getting quite a few points by going to the rim. I don't know how easy that is going to be with a Woodson offense as he will be dribbling into the 3 to 4 guys that are guarding Reneau and the "rim protector" we are told we need. So I would cut his ppg in half when evaluating him.
