Not sure where Fears will end up. Probably MSU or Illinois when all is said and done.

I thought you were gonna say supposed to be at the game tonight (via video stream) 😂😂😂

I get what you are saying but we have 13 guys and should Woody give KL more playing time so he doesn’t get pissed? I vote no.  

If KL earns 10/20/30 minutes a game I say congratulations but, if not, he should not be taking minutes from other guys just because he was highly rated and is possibly not happy. He (and everyone) should  have to earn their minutes.

I completely agree and what I meant was I hope he earns those minutes. He should never ever ever get to play to keep his mom happy period and Woody won’t play with that.

Woody ain't going to put up with mom venting on twitter.  He's a point guard.  He can't play any other position.  He's certainly not going to play ahead of X and Rob brings so much more defensively.  I don't see it happening barring an injury to one of those two guys.  

1000% agree. When I saw that I was like seriously? Woody plays who earns it period. He doesn’t play politics 

I hope Lander gets enough minutes this year to keep him happy. It’s two games in and his mom is already mad on Twitter about how many minutes he gets. He seems like a great kid and could eventually be good for our program.

I agree. For some reason I hold more hostility towards Armaan. Durham served his time with a subpar program. I wish him well. Armaan, I hope Virginia misses the NCAA tournament as long as he is there. But it’s hard to not think of the what if’s with Armaans performance tonight. 

I do think part of it was the system. He felt the same system CAM ran TB runs at VA.

I thought Rob started off better but pretty much ended up being the same rob down the stretch.  Stagnated offense when he was in.  Too much dribbling and then fell in love with the 3 and missed alot

 

That’s a fair assessment thanks for the response 

I think our game depends on X and Rob. Is it me or did it look like X forced a lot and looked kinda sloppy at times where Rob looked like a completely different more aggressive player than last year. If that continues Rob has to get more PT

IU survives the scare in OT

Maher with the golden goal

PSU-IU for the Big Ten Tournament Crown!

Maher comes from some of the greatest family you’ll ever meet and IU is lucky to have all three boys go to IU! It’s great to see a family I know and have coached be so successful at IU and the way the Maher boys will have helped shape IU soccer once Josh comes to IU and eventually leaves will be such a great footprint for the city and private school they came from.

I don’t really care about his NBA stock, but I do care about him missing multiple bunnies and too many FTs. With that said, he was still the MVP last night. 

Totally agree… you’re right his NBA stock isn’t important but I guess I just meant he can’t miss those types of shots… he is absolutely our MVP and the heart and soul of our team.

I disagree a little bit. I think this team is talented enough to win without Trayce posting a double double. He does have to be involved though. We can't have lackadaisical Trayce from last year at moments.

He doesn't need to score a ton for us to win. But as long as we use him, dump the ball to him, and allow him to find open guys, we should be fine. He just can't go 3-20 and miss 70% of his free throws.

I’m gonna be a little harsh here but Trayce missed way too many easy baskets yesterday and that to me was a trend from last year. He missed at least 4 layups that were give me’s that has to be corrected and figure out why he’s missing those because NBA teams look at that and that will hurt his stock IMO

Well, if that is true, then that is how recruiting goes

Yep exactly because if we lose out on him I trust the new staff to pivot to someone just as good if not better because IU believe in them.

Fife and Woodson were likely getting ready for Bookers visit to start. This recruitment is far enough along that going 4 deep wouldn’t make a difference 

That’s fair and completely understandable

Wouldn't be there if we weren't strongly in the hunt. Good sign we think we are in it to win it.

I kinda like the idea of all the coaches showing up though. I know that’s sometimes not possible but putting on an all in front could be what puts it over the top UNLESS they already know he’s coming so they don’t have to do that

Those 4 I believe are very very likely to be IU bound. I still feel Fears is 50/50 . Those othe 4 could all be committed by end of this calendar year

Are you high on booker and Cupps? I don’t look at ratings for Cupps but who do you compare him to?

Pot, meet Kettle 😜

Haha I’m calm actually lol just hard to show that in a message. People are just always over the top with things so sometimes a calling out is needed 🤷🏻‍♂️ 😂😂😂

Everyone chill. He's coming to IU. 

People get so worried and panicky off of the smallest things when it comes to basketball. Look I get everyone is passionate and wants our team to win but if he comes he comes if he doesn’t then I trust Woody will get someone talented and won’t settle for low hanging fruit like previous regimes. Parents,recruits, or people associated with a recruit look at boards like this to determine what they are getting themselves into. Do you know how silly we look by freaking out that he set an announcement date two weeks after you thought he might do it so now oh my gosh he must not be going to IU. SMH y’all these are high school kids and he’s one recruit. He’s not Reggie Miller who will be here to change our franchise for the next however many years. In the words of Aaron Rodgers R-E-L-A-X

Let’s see how the Alabama visit goes

I’m not worried about bama… IMO it’s us vs Va. Tech

Wait they aren’t guarantees? Your word is not the gospel??? 😂😂😂😂

Yes, you go right ahead and send some money to their personal Venmo with no records or accountability.  They sure do seem to be making a lot of trips to Bloomington and the Bahamas.  LOL.

Message them and ask to provide the records 🤷🏻‍♂️

Is there any info as to what/how much this is producing for the athletes? All I’ve found is that the NIL platform was created by them but who cares if it’s not actually generating material revenue to disperse 

I mean I’m sure you can message them and ask them to produce those records 🤷🏻‍♂️

Those parasites should find another host

As much as y’all hate on them they also do a lot for our players. They started their own NIL for the players that they didn’t have to do. I get that their video was out of line and uncomfortable but no average joe fan even considered stepping up like they did to help the players out.

It appears IU is working Montverde hard

If they can build that bond with the coaching staff that makes a huge difference.

The problem for Alabama will always be that basketball is a second class citizen there compared with football.  Spring football would trump March madness.  Here, he has already seen the frenzy known as the IU basketball fan base.  The status you have as an IU basketball player, for the rest of your life, is off the charts here.  

I absolutely agree 1000%

Unless you are a 17 or 18 year old kid that will be "wined" and dined and an opportunity to take in a game with a lot of beautiful co eds at someone else's expense. I am taking all my visits for sure. You never know just where might be that perfect fit, leave no doubt . In the end I feel he will be a Hoosier

I think Alabama ends up number two and that’s only because of the football atmosphere
