If he isn’t a Ben Wallace clone than I don’t know what is.

That’s a man right there.

Well said.

Yep…likely saw the Caleb Love roll and said why not me?

This board is exactly like all the other IU boards…and it’s a direct correlation to IU athletics…all that is left is the hard core fans…so good and bad extremes are the likely result. Any “normal” “regular” fan has long since lost interest in anything IU. The school athletics just aren’t relevant for them to be engaged…so here we are…with only us crazies left to care.

Correct…I don’t think Reneau is winning type of player. He is good in the post but his game doesn’t translate to success on the floor because he is a minus defender and rebounder…and you can’t play him at the 4. I’d prefer he move on honestly but if he is going to stay…he will have to learn to rebound and play the 5 with a lot more effort on the defensive end. That or he play the backup 5. It just is what it is with him. I get it he is one of the few players on this team that can create his own shot but that doesn’t make him a winning player. Some just are high usage and best option on a poor offense.

Ware or Reneau?

I’m being sarcastic but if the plan is to play him like we did last year…no I don’t want him. He is a Ware clone as his numbers are very similar. If Reneau is staying he should play the 5 and we get 4 shooters to play off him. We only need backup bigs and offering back up minutes not someone looking to start…I don’t want another year of twin towers and standing. If Reneau is gone then of course. Woody can’t help himself…if he has two bigs that could each start he will do it….its his style…and we will be back to where we were. I’m all for players like this but we have to construct a roster better than last year.

Well they lost that spark that Ben brought…this team was always pretty fragile…very thin at the guard position.

So he would replace Ware and we would be back to throw it in to the twin towers and stand around again. I’ll pass…I’d rather have zero bigs next year than watch that travesty all over again.

I know I know….this thread should be Dolsons home page so he is reminded every day just how inept Woody has been…we have nothing…Cody Zeller ain’t walking through that door…Victor Oladipo isn’t walking in….hell Tim Priller isn’t even walking in….thats how much Woodson sucks.

Bet he is announcing where he will play his final year of prep ball.

There aren’t any IU recruits…the closest recruit to IU would be the ones going to Purdue…so this is what we have for 24. Take it or leave it.

I was like…60-80 having sex 2-3 times per week!! I was about to have a serious talk with my wife lol!! Seems I need to take a 23 and me test first though…just in case.

We don’t fill all the scholarships as it is and have no one to take his place. He may be starting for us next year so I wouldn’t be so fast to kick him to the curb

Pearl was just before his time…his antics and discretions were made for this new age of college basketball. Heck Harbaugh and UM just won a NC and those two are basically blood brothers when it comes to personalities and actions.

Be a lot more interesting to watch then the B1G10 hack fest.

I almost thought Dallas may make a move for Fields…I don’t think Jerry wants Dak long term…but once you get onto that roller coaster investing in a QB that is good but not great it’s hard to get off. Dead cap hits are franchise gutting for a few years. Look at Denver..they are having to destroy and completely tear it down after the Wilson mistake. If Jerry extends Dak again…yeah it could be bad. Almost think they should let him play it out and then let Fields and Lance fight it out…but it didn’t happen.

Agreed…While I don’t think Cousins is one of those qbs that will carry you over the top…he is much much better than Fields or Wilson. He has some weapons there so I expect much better play in Atlanta.

I thought they might have to cut him…but day 3 pick is what I expected. Man Pittsburgh camp will be interesting…Wilson vs Fields.

Their style of basketball lends itself to being inconsistent. Defensive identity lends itself to having a consistent team…something to hang your hat on when the shots don’t drop for stretches. Most of the time they don’t even care about that end of the floor it’s how fast can we get back to the other end so we can get a shot up. When it’s rolling of course they are great but on nights and stretches when it isn’t there…and better defensive teams limit out run outs etc…it’s bad.

Nothing about IU basketball is relevant. Not the players, not the coach, not the writers, and certainly not the fans who have nothing to cheer about. Thank you IU administration you accomplished your goal. You lost control at the end of the Knight regime and became so determined that you would never let athletics ever be more relevant then your academics again and you’ve done that ever since. Now your flagship sports program is completely irrelevant just like your academic university which is just like every other school in the country pushing out a homogenized education that is rich in cost and poor in quality.

He was getting embarrassed because that game was about basketball philosophy and contrast in styles…and his got exposed for how antiquated it truely is. He’s a dinosaur and the mammals just ran roughshod all over his team…his ego couldn’t handle it. Look at the nba…Nebraska team looks more like the nba than ours….i know he will be back…and I have no excitement to watch this team…

Am I bad that I want Reneau to foul out so we can go smaller?? Cause Woody will never take him out. Sucks they would get free throws though.

When Leal has the ball anywhere inside the 3 pt line he just isn’t good. Great entry passer and good spot up shooter…plays hard but he has nothing going to hoop or trying to finish.
