What will we talk about you ask The schedule - how many cupcakes are too many Lineups - we will all be wrong The annual “who is the X factor thread “ The annual “we are really deep this year thread “ - I might actually buy in to that a bit this year How much we hate Purdue How much we hate UK How overrated team x is and how website/journalist y has us underrated How big a tool Goodman is Dakich Any number of rabbit trails about movies, stray animals, old girl friends, etc We are HSN, we will manage And welcome aboard Koop

Wow. Great job staff.

Not that it matters, but what kind of offers did Mangas have coming out of HS?

I think we just usually see on Twitter that schools x, y, and z have reached to player a who is in the portal. A lot of guys post those tweets involving IU in this thread.

It will be interesting to see what names pop up in the next couple of days that we have reached out to.

I agree for the most part. I’m not sure about being ranked most of the year though. I’m just trying to stay grounded after the last three years.

Honestly, I am trying to keep a realistic outlook on next season. I will be elated if we hear our name called on selection Sunday next year.

I won’t get too excited about next year. I won’t get too excited about next year. I won’t I won’t I won’t get too excited about next year. Yeah, that’s not working.

Great job, staff.

I agree. That is the next step for Woody to take. I’m guessing when the dust settles with Franklin and Race is when we will get more clarity here. I’m hoping we get news soon that we are landing Xavier Johnson.

Boom.

In relation to a previous discussion that has occurred a number of times: Woody having no contact whatsoever in any form with Brooks = white area Woody calling up Brooks to see if he wants to transfer = black area Woody mentioning to TJD he knows he and Brooks are friends and asking if he has ever expressed any interest in transferring = gray area.

I wonder what his time table is. Landing a guy not one of ours currently in the portal or previously committed is the next step for Woody.

If I never hear the phrase “inside out” again, I’ll be perfectly happy. Get the best kids you can who want to be Hoosiers whether they are from Bedford or Bismarck.

That’s a great question. It would make sense for the NCAA to understand the free for all they have turned this off season in to and to adjust accordingly. But since that makes sense and it’s the NCAA, that probably won’t happen.

I just read his bio on ESPN. It said he was considered one of the best 3 point shooters in the ACC. He is a 5’10” G. He was a sophomore so he wouldn’t be just a one year guy.

He certainly has plenty of experience with meshing guys and getting guys up to speed in short order. He is about as prepared for the wild wild west of the transport portal this year as anyone could be.

I know we are all rightfully awaiting the decisions for our current guys in the portal, but I’m anxiously awaiting the first guy to pop to transfer here. I’m guessing we add a minimum of three.

Next?

This is my new favorite thread. It’s going to be a blast tracking who we are in contact with.

That stood out to me too. I’d love to find some help from there if we can’t get everything we need through the portal.

So should we assume Parker Stewart is staying?

They take you up in the Pagoda. You also go into the media center and Victory Lane.

Are their going to be AAU events this summer? Haven’t we not officially hired an assistant before so he wouldn’t be limited to the days he attended? If there are no AAU events, there is no point, but if there is I wonder if we might try that again.
