It was an inside joke…a topic that has reared its head far too many times. 

I know.

I’ll bet Goode never lifted weights at IL and that’s he shoots well, so he’ll come here and lift weights and lose his touch…

 

 

sorry couldn’t resist…

The kid is a stud, he don't need no stinkin' weight room - just let the boy shoot. 🙂 But seriously, Woodson has done, in my opinion, a tremendous job during the offseason. We'll see what happens next year, but I am truly excited.

After last year's fiasco, when I see it on the floor, THEN I'll believe it.

If Woodson doesn't put it together this year, he will be seen as another Lou Henson. Doing so little with so much.

You are talking about Calipari, the greatest failure in college ball. Although I got a laugh thinking of Coach Mike Woodson with a Lou-do. 🤔

Going to UCONN. That's fine. I like our team.

Now that Goode is on board, I’d say we have a pretty good idea of our roster. 

Our floor should be high. Our ceiling should be high. 

I will be disappointed if we are even flirting with the tournament next year; we should be solidly in. With the amount of talent we have on paper, I think we should be a top 25 team all year. Those expectations should not be considered out of line unless we have something like 3 major injuries. Agree?

INJURIES?!

If we don't go undefeated I'm out. 😠 

But seriously, I really like the pieces that have been assembled and hope for a BIG title. We will be as good as anybody in conference. We will have a deep bench.

@Zlinedavid @John S @Officer Obie

I am not going to derail the Ballo thread anymore. 

I don't think Caitlin Clark would be a D1 men's player, she's 5'11/6ft, not very quick, and weighs probably 160/165? 

She'd sure beat a lot of them in a 3pt comp though

Sorry, I'm still a bit giddy about UK's implosion. I'll behave myself going forward. 😇

Without the mustache, thankfully for her sake. 

And the mullet. 🙁

Bloomington South? She could borderline start for the IU men's team. 😂

She's Larry Bird in a dress.

Would she start at Bloomington South? 

If she put on 30 pounds and hit the weight room.

It's a really short and easy drive from Indianapolis to Bloomington, Caitlin. Maybe, when you can spare a minute or two, you can drive south and teach the boys how to put the ball in the hoop...

Speaking of Gallo, any word on his recovery?

He'll be good to go for summer workouts. The kid is tough.

Galloway can learn to shoot the 3, he does't get hurt thank goodness, he gets other players involved, and plays defense. I forgot what we were talking about.

LOL. My bad. Canadians are funny, as are Brits. One of my favorite comedy teams is Dudley Moore and Peter Cooke - "Not only...  but also."  Very funny stuff.

I want that dude from that one team...

 

Or maybe that other guy. Who's on first? I don't know is on third...

So, is it great news that we got Ballo, or is it great news that you have nothing to add?

BOTH.

Alanis Morissette is going to be on "Finding Your Roots" this evening. Just saying...

Is this guy as good as Ware? (probably not)

So we're now gonna see 2 bigs playing together again, "inside (and hopefully) out". I'll believe it when I see a 4 out 1 in game with 3 shooters on the perimeter. (from IU that is)

So far I'm under whelmed with the committed recruits. Not a huge step forward IMO. If MM gets hurt we got NO shooters on the perimeter.

Cupps: No.     Gallo: No.      Newton: Unknown.     Rice: Not any better than Gallo.

You guys can celebrate all you want. Good for you. But I'm with-holding my excitement until I see the product on the floor.

Granted, he doesn't have an arm load of tattoos, but that's cool by me. Just put the ball in the hoop and all will be cool.

Great news. I have nothing to add that hasn't already been said. Just great news. Go Hoosiers. 🙂

"Looks like Kentucky has its first confirmed member of the 2024-25 roster."

Kentucky in state talent. LOL.
