I honestly barely care anymore.  I make good money and some of these guys make more than me already, they live in an environment way better than I did at college, have access to facilities and amenities we would have dreamed of when we were eating Ramen and Chef Boyardee, and they want more.  Honestly, I am almost kind of out on all this stuff.  It is a colossal waste of money when the median IU-B student is walking away from school with $20k in debt.

These kids are worse than pros if this is what is driving everything.  Go elsewhere, at this point I am almost rooting for them to kill the goose that laid their golden egg.

Amen to that!!

Tennessee stole my lunch##lol!#

Yep Tennessee it is.

We need shooters.Any good one's left we are after?If not just go with what we have on roster now.Save scholarships for next year.

I’m not obsessed with anything just an observation. The way you act makes it seem like it’s way more than a game. If it was just a game to you then you wouldn’t be so negative and have such a bad rep on here. 🤷🏻‍♂️hope one day you just trust the process and figure out a way to not be so negative man.

Good advice.I guess I just remember the days of winning in the 70's and 80's.Just a few years left on this good old earth would like to see a winner just one more time!!

Why would someone give you tickets to a team you’re not a fan of? Fans find positives and negatives about a team and then root for them. I’ve literally never seen you post one positive thing since I’ve joined this board. I’m not sure what you have going on in your life but why do you even like sports or supposedly like IU because the way you act towards the players and coaches isn’t a fan? I’ve seriously questioned if you’re Dan Dakich because of how insanely negative you are ALL the time. I just don’t get you.

Sorry you are obsessed with a poster.Never take anyone's post that seriously.Just a board on basketball it is a game nothing more.

I'm not happy that we don't win to the level we used to.  That's one thing.  But saying that IU got outworked by UT in Ledlum's recruiting is pure speculation.  

Maybe but I think we didn't finish the game.All good we will see if we can get another impact player or 2 for next year.

Having former Indiana All-American giving you tickets is not the same thing as being/saying you are an IU fan.  If Kyle Macy gives me tickets to a UK v Tennessee game, I would probably go.  I wouldn't root for UK though.  

Been to indiana games since 1974 can have a different opinion on the team.Results last 35 years haven't been up to standard.You can call it negative i call it facts.We just disagree on where the program is.That is fine.

All together now, let's ask Mike how he knows we didn't prioritize Ledlum, even though we know Mike has never posted a single positive thing about the Hoosiers (e.g. he's not an IU fan).  

Beg to differ on that.Have former Indiana All-American I know well give me tickets to games.

It does feel like UT made him feel like he was the priority and went the extra mile to make it happen. We didn't, that doesn't make us lazy or laid back, just outworked!

Yes better way to say it!

No other portal guys we are really targeting at the moment,maybe save the scholarships for the next class.

Because thats not how this works. And would turn players off if you barge into a meeting YOU WERE NOT INVITED TO

Why didn't we set up a meeting too?We could and should have.

You think IU would barge in during his meeting with Tennessee? These things are scheduled In advance 

Why didn't we??He was also first player we targeted in portal season.Coaches ALAWAYS say play all 40 minutes.We played 39.

What REAL information donyou have about our staff and theor work ethic??

This is a pointless comment, and borderline assamine, unless you have 1st hand knowledge.of how hard our staff does or does not work on a daily basis.

Laid back staff?  Whatever.

Tennessee was there today we weren't.Today they stayed home on our #1 target.

Tennessee went four deep coaches today and outworked are laid back staff.Have no true scorers on next year's roster.Will take a step back for sure.

Does not seem like we are getting any traction with players in the portal.

Why are you guys giving this guy the time of day? He’s clearly here just to agitate

Is he here next year.Would be nice to have a good team every year!

Our recruiting last year has been horrible can't get any traction with top recruits.Sad times for Indiana basketball.

Hard to believe Indiana can't recruit a guard who can score.No guard play winning becomes almost impossible!!We are toast.

Can't get any guards in portal we are done!Can't compete without elite guards.Case closed!!

Sounds like we are out for Love.Peegs sort thinks we way behind.Time to move on.
