Yeah I am thinking from what I have seen so far this is very likely to be a multi year rebuild before we know if it works or not. I was hoping we could win right away. That is why I wanted a proven guy like Beard hired. But at IU we cannot touch guys like him!
Tons of people have used outside influences to get where they are, if they turn out good that is great if they are POS like you say he is it will show sooner than later. I'm 53 I guess I have moved past my high school hate list? I'll sit back and observe, it is what it is and I can only root for CDD and hope he has it figured out.
It sure seems like it. Seems this year alot of these guys are only in the portal a few days before they pick a school. That is my concern with IU right now with only one guy so far.
He had a torn labrum this past season that required surgery. His sophomore numbers were better across the board.
That's part of my question with the kid - he's coming off surgery. That's a huge risk to sign someone that hasn't played since a major surgery.
The women in Miami are like having an extra 20% in NIL.
Assuming hair rollers aren’t a part of his nightly ritual, it’s a natural style, unblemished by the hands of man, the no muss/no fuss cut of no concern.
It’s not a hate list it’s just people that were creepy in HS that no one liked. Me and my buddies were trying to figure out who he hung out with a few days ago. The only person we could think of was a guy named grant gibson who was very similar to him. Clinger on for the basketball team. Not good enough to go to college for bball but aren’t smart enough to do anything else. Grant is on trial for 3 felonies involving minors in Bedford when he was substitute teaching. Him and Drew are guys I would always say are super weird and would never want anything to do with when im 23 or 73.
Fair enough, I thought tons of kids were "creepy" in HS. I have zero idea what most are doing, one is a big time doctor in the south I imagine he is doing ok.
No, they were crazy enough to take Reneau, who seemingly 80% of this board didn’t want back.
Yes, they were better ... still not good enough
Because of Adams, we landed HP. And he sucked.
Me too. I think he is a loser tho. Just my opinion, and most of Bloomington’s.
OK thanks. I thought it might have some type of dumb reason, but now I see why we were F@#$&d.
That and his dad was the bumper sticker guy too. Didn’t we actually get loss of scholarship for that? This family has cursed IU for decades.OK thanks. I thought it might have some type of dumb reason, but now I see why we were F@#$&d.
The bumper sticker deal was the dumbest thing the NCAA could have done. Jurkin and HP sat for 8 or 9 games over $185 in IU Alum bumper stickers from the mid 80s to early 90s. NCAA claimed that made him a booster. There's a reason college athletics are so screwed up right now.
Their most egregious act was Steve Alford having to sit out the Kentucky game after it was revealed he posed for free, fully clothed, in support of a sorority’s fundraising calendar. We lost that game.
For those who never knew or forgot—linked is a detailed ESPN article about the Adams, A Hope, and what was perceived as shady dealings. Was kinda surprised CDD would wade back into this (whether entirely true or not) with so many other options.
My god, you should try this strain. I swear I read that and was back in 2010. What a time to be alive. What a shade ball family. What a father and son duo.For those who never knew or forgot—linked is a detailed ESPN article about the Adams, A Hope, and what was perceived as shady dealings.

ESPN: Basketball ties that bind
The coach of a top AAU team also runs a nonprofit foundation that mixes basketball and education -- but are the connections too friendly with some collegiate programs?www.espn.com
The first story yes, was to highlight his dad not Drew. Read the article, guy is a piece of work, so is Drew.
