I used to live there and the amount of growth there has been amazing.

Also, there are different types of athleticism. I’d call Geronimo a straight line athlete. Can run and jump. But this young man is far more agile. It’s a totally different type of athlete when you look at them laterally. Some of those drives through the lane, no way could Geronimo do that.

Great for Ware. He did everything right and carried himself very well. He played hard and well. Great asset for the program and I wish him all the best.

Yeah I’m sure he’s getting connections going with Adam Howard. If I were him, I’d be calling Liam too.

It’s jarring to see how mediocre Sampson’s defense is.

Thanks. I turned it off a while ago.

What? They blew that lead! Thanks for the heads up. Will turn it back on. Purdue to me is the most impressive team in the tourney so far and the temperature will rise in the Bloomington administration and nepo baby donor offices as a result. Pam Whitten may not realize what that will look like.

Nothing like having the classlessness, lack of self awareness, and general DBaggery to take a shot at working people trying to live their lives while having the luxury of getting paid for playing a sport. Go make fun of a nurse working an overnight shift taking care of an old person at 2 am using the bathroom while you dribble a basketball. Dufus.

I wonder how long his record for push offs and stiff arms with his off hand when he’s carrying the ball will last? It’s so high that I would say 75 years minimum.

No proof but I bet he was shown the door.

Surprised they aren’t looking at Josh Scherz. He would fit their program perfectly IMO.

Ryan Conwell 6-6 from 3 against Minnesota right now. Still lot of time left and he’s got 23 and 5 assists. #ATopPriority

I’m sorry I was too busy laughing at the gif? Say what? Crean, not known for his humor, even admits this was funny.

Some buzz Adam Howard will go to Michigan in some capacity. He took IU off his Twitter handle. He has a big role with Grow the Game, which I believe helps managers interested in coaching. Dusty May has advised that group. Connecting the dots.

Michigan, not a job you can turn down. That’s a destination job and has a ton of pluses. I’d take it over Louisville every day of the week. I like Dusty a lot and will pull for him except vs IU of course. As a coach, can’t say I watch all his games but I did see them beat Arizona and really liked his offense. Personally I think he needs some help from his staff with the D. The nice thing is Michigan will give him a chance and he has the potential to recruit there. Like to see IU guys do well.

That’s good stat. Way better than us.

I meant Utah State but yeah Gonzaga too

I have never been a huge Few guy. Fine coach. Racks up wins in a safe environment but doesn’t show much when the going gets tough. The guy who I like is Tommy Lloyd his ex assistant. He got a $6 M deal at Arizona which has been far better than us for 20 years but the passion and exposure is bigger here but for our ineptitude and dysfunction. But man I’d make a run at him with $10M and not bleep around to say IU is serious. He’d be a great match here. He’s got an urgency and passion that we have lacked but he also has the roster construction and strategic skills.

They have like no size

I really like Nabors. You never know, he could surpass Harrison. Harrison has that radius and ability in close quarters but this kid is really electric. Very sudden. LT could also be interesting to have stud bookends for Williams. Bears are in a very good spot. Their future looks excellent. You get some of these tough spots filled and then over time you stack the defense. Next 2-3 drafts after this year with a heavy emphasis on D and this team can take off.

Honestly. I am VERY optimistic on the offense. We might have a question at backup OL and QB but for the most part I think we could get back to an offense worthy of Kevin Wilson. If I were CCC and Haines, DT would keep me up at night. Those guys are hard to find so hopefully some guys pop in the spring portal. I think our ends should be ok and our back 7 solid.

You’re not wrong that it is a likely scenario. And they could win it all. I don’t think Houston or UConn are as good. Having said that, while IU fans may be terrified, Duke has survived when UNC wins it all and vice-versa. OSU football has gone into urgency mode with UM winning it all and on a roll with recruiting. If Purdue wins it all, the golf clap can mentality will end. Pam Whitten, QB, the Simons and company will be startled by the urgency, if not rage, from the fan base. It will rise to defcon 5 if Purdue wins it all. It might be good for IU to wake up the admin at IU and all their politics and dysfunction.

You never know where people’s heads would be at in a year. They may not even know.

Yeah. I was noticing that too. Personally it’s not my favorite way to play. I don’t like a ton of points in football either. It just feels like it devalues each individual point and the defense. I know most people disagree with me. I’m fine with CBB with a score in the 70s and a 24-21 NFL game instead of 40-33. But I just really enjoy defense in all sports. I like the feeling that a bucket against a tough D means or a TD against a stiff defense. I don’t want the other extreme either, the classic 55-52 basketball game or 13-10 NFL game. Balance.
