Guys, we are absolutely gonna love Cupps for 4 years (Captain obvious)

Much better start energy wise 

I’m looking for a lot more energy out of the starting group this half. Otherwise put the second group in, they played with a lot of intensity. I get that not all the shots are gonna fall and we missed a ton of bunnies, so I’m not nearly as concerned about that as I am the effort.

But man, we do not look sharp 

I’m in the Hall. Sparks was already a crowd favorite after his first 60 seconds. Dude looks hungry and aggressive, I think he may play a lot more than I expected this year

I’ll wait and see on this but on the surface, at the very least, his judgement is very much called into question for choosing refusal of service at Taco Bell as an hill to die on. I mean Pizza X, maybe, but TB? But seriously, you’re a high profile athlete with the season about to begin, just listen to the officers and go home without your gordita crunch and live to fight another day.

Just for S&G I perused Rupp Rafters yesterday.  In the Boogie thread I saw a post lamenting the arrival of NIL and how Mark Cuban could just a check.  I guess it would make they'd long for the "good ol' days" when they got recruits "The UK way" - by sending stacks of bill$ in a Emory packet....😏

I was always under the impression that Cuban wouldn’t participate in NIL 1) because of his frustrations with the NCAA and 2) because of his affiliation in the NBA and conflict of interest. Has that changed or is this just UK fans looking for any excuse not to believe that Woodson is the real deal?

He won me over there. Sign this young man ASAP!

Same! Great personality and maturity for a high school senior. Seems like the type of kid who would be a natural leader, on and off the floor. Reel him in Woody!

....kinda funny. Just trolling on Purdue's bb message board to see what they think of our latest get. They have 3 separate IU threads about Mbako. lol 🧐 Does IU still suck? lol😉😆

Lol. What’s their general sentiment?

Like all of you, I’ve been watching this thing like a hawk. Guarantee one of my less insane IU basketball friends will casually stumble upon twitter the second he makes his announcement by chance and will break the news to my group of friends

Tide is turning 

 

Jinx!

Don’t know anything about this guy but I like it 

Still no 247 CB, that’s crazy this late in the game 

6pm… 6th banner… coincidence? I think not!

It was the first thing I looked at this morning. 

It was definitely the first thing I thought about. I thought I learned my lesson from Ledlum but I guess  I’m just a glutton for punishment

I don’t love the colors he used for his name in that announcement

Actually, maybe he’s just splitting the difference, one for each of us. Never mind, I’ve talked myself off the ledge already

Oh nice, you have some of that stuff too? 

Got a whole set. I’ve never stolen anything in my life, but my mom said she would love a set from there so when your mom asks, you really have no choice, do you?😁

I don’t want to brag but this possible favorable news is probably because I chose to eat lunch today on my “borrowed” dish ware from the Foster cafeteria circa 1994

I fully trust Woodson on this stuff, so if he thinks he can maximize Caleb Love's talent then it would be a huge transfer portal win. 

With that said I mentioned yesterday that I have a bunch of buddies that are UNC fans. I saw one last night and asked him his thoughts on Love leaving UNC. 

He said, "I wanted to pop open a bottle of champagne when I saw the news!" He was literally giddy that Love was leaving. 

Had a similar response from a UNC friend as well.  But then I had to step back and remember… big difference between Hubert Davis and Mike Woodson

Put JG and Banks in at this point, we just need someone who can get a rebound 

I’ve never seen an all American get such disrespect from refs 

I don’t love TJD out on the perimeter, would rather he stay in the lane, their guys are too quick 

I’m ready to be done playing B10 teams this year. Well, I’d take 1 more
