Bingo. Agree or disagree, but he was making a very different point.

I agree but I don’t think (might be wrong), that that was the point of the original poster showing the pic. It was the context of the use of the pic rather than the fact that the pic existed. correct merely having a pic in IU gear means very little, if anything at all.

Ummm is he a good leader? 😂 is he funny?

Plus that means we’d still have one spot correct? Sorry still getting fully back

Or even smart 😂

Cupps is gonna be a fav of the fanbase I sense as time goes on

Do you sense with more talent and post presence around him he’d get better looks and increase percent?

Looked up the Ryan kid… 34% 3pt I’ll pass 🤦🏻‍♂️ if we need shooters for that last spot…

Auto correct Ledlum

With the Ball State kid, Leslie, Ware and Knecht IF we got those three (my utmost hope), what would make the most sense for the last spot if my numbers are right? aka Sparks

Oh I remember JayBob!!

Dang people can free lance off that one

Nope that’s not good enough. I prefer 9-9.5

Just want Knecht 😂 I’m a broken record at this point. Give me ware and our Ball State kid and Knecht anything else is gravy.

I want the Knecht kid. nit sure I even want the VCU kid. Someone tell me I should want him and why.

I want Ware but I’m greedy and want Knecht also.

Thanks a bunch 5fouls. Sincerely

Been reading you old timers all season keeping up. Had to eventually chime in. So good to hear from you all. Hope all is well. I’m back

Mental breakdown, change of careers, total rebuild of life…hated sports all sports and everything for over 2 years. now I’m getting back to being me ❤️😎

Yea yea…shut it…old friend ❤️💪🏻

Hello some of you longterm posters who might remember me.

I appreciate this response. Really do. And it’s fitting ironically that someone I’ve butted heads with on the board I’m now finding some common ground with. Otherwise I’m outta here for awhile. I have enough millennials telling me how I’m supposed to feel, think and see things I don’t need it on a programs message board I love. Everyone processes thru things and need to. Me just screaming “I LOVE THIS HIRE” isn’t going to change the fact that I do NOT. The worse deflating hire I’ve EVER experienced for any team I’ve followed in my LIFE. I hope to God this works out. I actually REALLY DO. He seems like a legit nice guy. I felt the same of Archie. I still like Archie. I knew Crean would fail. I thought Archie would do well. So obviously I can’t trust my emotions. 😂 But neither can some of you who think this hire is a “home run” or at least some really great path for IU Hoops. I’ll keep trying to slam back the KoolAid and hope it sticks sooner rather than later so something positive can come from Indiana Basketball. Just long for the day this program I love gives more than it takes from us fans. Have a wonderful Easter everyone. 🇺🇸

Fans tend to. I hated the Crean hire but had to get on board and buy my “Crimson and Crean” shirt and just believe that he’d buck what was so obvious...that IU would become Marquette South.

I am all ears right now but someone in favor of this hire help me grasp something... If this was Dolson’s guy...or even let’s say he was Dolson’s 3rd or 4th but he was high enough that it wasn’t even worth looking at proven coaches still in the tourney he could’ve interviewed and offers big money to which wouldn’t be a gamble at all...if Dolson believes “This IS our man who’s gonna do it...” Why is he worth a measly 6 years 22million? To me with him not being on anyone’s radar besides many people saying “NO WAY” it’s hard not to take this as “We just went with our boy for a bargain price...that’ll do the job if not oh well.” I’d actually have felt a bit better if they had over paid him even just to show “this is how confident we are that we have OUR man.” Because that’s what’s being sold...no most programs wouldn’t hire him but he’s perfect for IU...” Well if he’s so good for us why is he worth peanuts?

And if he doesn’t it’ll tell you all you need to know for what’s ahead in recruiting. These are the “easy sells.” These kids have every reason to stay for any coach who turns their crank. If he can’t sell them we’re screwed. If he DOES it doesn’t mean he’s gonna kill it in recruiting, but if they mostly or all leave, we are screwed.
