After watching too much basketball the last month...its becoming increasingly clear that you don't "need" NBA size and talent level bigs to be successful in todays college game.

Gonzaga, Michigan, and Arizona, all with highly rated, really tall, NBA sized bigs...all got beat last night by teams that are made up of a bunch of 6'5 - 6'8, football player looking, wings. That isn't completely accurate, Arkansas' Williams is 6'10...but he rarely, if ever, posts up.

Duke ended up winning, but if it wasn't for their smallest player, they likely would have lost as well...to a team that didn't play anyone over 6'8.

So...when the dust settles on who's leaving...I hope we don't clamor for "bigs", just to get bigs (Assuming Race and TJD leave). Rather, I hope Woody fills every roster spot with the best, most athletic, wing players he can find. Football player looking wings that can guard all positions, knock down shots, rebound, and play tough, physical basketball.

I think we have one of those types of kids coming in, in JHS, which is great. And if Xavier stays, I think he fits the mold of a physical lead guard, that most of the teams I'm using as examples of what to do, have. Jordan and Race both would be good. TJD obviously. But for whatever open slots we end up having, go get Villanova/Houston/Texas Tech like wings, coach. Its what is winning games in the tournament these days.

Admittedly I don’t know the intricacies of how NIL works. My question though is does the money come from the same source that helps schools with coach’s contract buy outs? Will the NIL deals eliminate this resource in the future?

There are people on Twitter stating Bates is going to visit later this week….is this possibly true, and if so, is it a realistic possibility he could land here?

Hood Schifino - Wears 24 in all his videos - Open
Reneau - 5? Sr. Walk on Shipp has it? ha ... Open
CJ Gunn - Wear 4 - Open
Kaleb Banks - 3 ... Anthony Leal ... Not open

Breaking, impactful information I know... just watching highlights and I'm always interested in what numbers guys wear and what legacy they are inheriting with them.

Indiana head coach Tom Allen announced on Wednesday that the Hoosiers will open spring practice on March 5th

The return to fundamentals will focus on takeaways, toughness on offense.
I think the first two deep depth chart will be particularly interesting for OL, LB, and DL.

Here are comparisons from last season to this season on returning pitchers to our bullpen, and I only listed the pitchers that have seen the most action so far. This just compares a few of the key stats. The 2021 stats are for the entire season of 44 games, with the 2022 stats current through today's games with 30 games played so far. I didn't include HBPs but for the season we are at 62 in 30 games, while we had just 31 in 44 games last season. In BBs, we are at 180 in 30 games, while we were at the same 180 BBs for the season in 44 games last season. On WPs, we are at 43 in 30 games so far and last season we had just 26 total in 44 games.

Stahl - 2021 season stats - 3-0 with an ERA of 1.80 in 25 IP, 5 ERs, 5 BBs, B/Avg .250

2022 stats thru 30 games - 0-2 with an ERA of 10.07 in 19.2 IP, 22 ERs, 12 BBs, B/Avg .325

Modugno - 2021 season stats - 3-1 with an ERA of 2.09 in 38 IP, 9 ERs, 16 BBs, B/Avg .207

2022 stats thru 30 games - 0-2 with an ERA of 9.39 in 23 IP, 24 ERs, 15 BBs, B/Avg .320

Bothwell - 2021 season stats - 2-1 with an ERA of 2.73 in 33 IP, 10 ERs, 15 BB, B/Avg .174

2022 stats thru 30 games - 1-2 with an ERA of 4.55 in 27.2 IP, 14 ERs, 15 BBs, B/Avg. .250

Really overshadowed by Langford in HS. Always wished Indiana would have taken a chance on him----and should have.

Sorry for the delay on this. Had some personal stuff pop up.

He told me that X and Kopp are not rostered at this point because it happens automatically once a player uses up eligibility. At some point the Super Seniors will be added back in, but I thought it was pretty cool that his system has IU in the Top 15 even without X.

Chatter for Calbert Cheaney began to pick up yesterday. Now, this seems to be from former players that would want another former player leading Indiana. At this point, I still think John Beilein or Mike Woodson have more ground to stand on, but there was definitely a bit more coming from the Cheaney angle. Because of that, he moved up into the main group of the list.

I moved Chris Beard down a bit because I still haven't been able to confirm either way whether or not IU has reached out. Eric Musselman remains in that top list, but I consider him the 'longest' shot out of any in the main group.

40 million people....

He gets paid what? $40 + million per year. It appears he gave a double middle finger to the Boston crowd. Then tells someone to “Suck my d***, b***h” when walking to the locker room through the tunnel after the game.

Both Miami (OH) and Cincy will enter the game with losing records with Miami at 14-21 and Cincy at 16-18. We beat Miami (OH) and Cincy by scores of 15-2 and 7-0, respectively, back in March at Bart Kaufman.

Having a career night .26 I believe..
In loss to the 76'ers

Big 12 Frosh of the year.

Extended video highlights from Wilson's weekend at Adidas 3SSB and an evaluation of his game.

We get Renau, Minnesota gets Garcia and Illinois gets ZZ Clark (younger brother of Skyy).

Purdue’s Peegs is big n grumpy about NIL, Hoosiers for good and IU being out in front of all of it.

normally I don’t care about what Purdue thinks/does… but I find this man’s tirade funny.

I was born in 1972 and grew up in the Detroit suburbs. Here are some things I remember.

One of the UHF stations would show an afternoon movie and there was an actual host for the show. Bill Kennedy.

Channel 9 CBC out of Windsor would go off the air at night. Go to test pattern.

Locally-produced daily talk shows (“Kelly and Company”).

WDIV, channel 4, the NBC affiliate, came up with its own one-episode sitcom, “Hamtramck,” about Polish-Americans in said city.

“Johnny Sokko,” “Ultraman,” “Deputy Dawg.”

Going to the sitter’s house after school, in the basement rumpus room, alone, ending up absolutely shattered after watching the “Twilight Zone” in which the earth is being fried by the sun - and the terrible, terrible twist at the end of the story. Also, the lady was in a slip for most of the time and her painting started to melt!

I loved “I Love Lucy.”

George Kell and Al Kaline were the announcing team for the local Detroit Tigers broadcasts.

EDIT. Count Scary.
