Parakeet Jones

Thank you. I meant no disrespect. I’ve always appreciated your info. I consider you one of the guys who hears things.

I ask this in all sincerity, was there ever anything other than message board speculation on him? Did any of our posters who hear things even mention this? I really can’t remember.

I would take that every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Glad to hear this.

Great job, staff. Let’s get some more.

You just triggered Nijel Pack flashbacks.

As I’ve said before, the best thing for the program is for Woody to get this pointed in the right direction for a mess free passing of the baton whenever that happens. While we all have varying opinions on when that should be, I think we all hope for some positive momentum this upcoming season to lead towards that ideal outcome whenever it is.

Sounds like at least a 2-3 year guy, which I love.

I’m assuming he will be back. The only reason I leave the door open to the possibility of him being gone is how emphatic he was during media day that he was only planning on being here a year. I realize plans can change, but that still lingers in my mind.

I feel like he has torched us so many times that it would be nice to have him on our side for a while.

This kind of confirms the thoughts I had looking at this. Probably a guy we’d like after he develops, but not a guy to count on for immediate impact next year.

Glad to see some HS players in the mix and not just portal guys.

I enjoyed watching him play. We would have been sub 0.500 without him. That’s a big loss.

That should also line the Super Bowl up with Presidents Day.

That was fun. Great win.

Yep, we have the worst fans.

No kidding. That’s two out of three this series. Im thinking about going to the game next Saturday. I’ve never been to a game there before but have wanted to for a while.

Playing from behind early today. Down 4-0 after 2.

I’d break it down even further to which two guards do we take? What traits do they posses that we need? Which two wings do we take? Which two bigs? I’m more interested in each one’s specific skills and traits than rankings.

The good news is I’ve figured out how to stream the radio broadcast so I can keep up with the baseball team. The bad news is we are struggling in the B1G opener against Illinois.

My point is that I feel like some think we have $6 million to go blow in the portal so we can buy anyone we want. We have $6 million total for the whole team so we don’t have as much for portal guys as some seem to think. We aren’t just going to be able to outbid all comers in the portal.

I 100% reject the notion our fans are “toxic” and any comparison of our board to RR. It’s probably the one thing that boils my blood as quick as anything related to IU basketball these days.

I agree. He is definitely one to keep an eye on.

Let’s say those numbers are accurate, which I’m sure is likely. That 1/6 of our supposed NIL budget on two returning players. That’s not counting the other returnees. My point is, people (not you btown) throw that $6 million number around like that is what we have to use in the portal and we can buy whoever we want. That’s just the case.

Which is why I never want to hear the lazy take again that IU fans are toxic or that this board, or BTB for that matter, are as bad as Rupp Rafters.
