Cupps To Ohio State
- Thread starter iubhounds
- Start date
Wow... if that number is remotely accurate, that sets a crazy number for other guys like Conwell, Dent, etc... Yikes.
No offense to Cupps, who I always liked, but if that is even close to accurate, then things have gotten silly.
May work out to $10,000 per point scored for the season.

Inflation? 🤣🤔
Or we find out he brings more to the table than we ever saw under Woodson.
He is going to have to work on that shot of his. Terrible shooting mechanics.
I like cupps, but that is absolutely ridiculous. These donors must be printing their own money. What the hell is a top 10 recruit pulling in these days?
I wish him well. He needs strength terribly and experience. He and Lander are 2 physically not ready players I can remember. Both couldn’t guard anyone or get around anyone while on offense
I don't believe for a second that he's getting $1 mil per year. That's beyond stupid for his skills.
I don’t mean to run the kid down. But what I saw was an undersized, limited athleticism kid who couldn’t shoot the ball. I don’t understand this at all. I thought he might drop down to a mid major honestly.
Another stinker of a season, Ohio St. will be looking for a new ball coach next spring.
Everything being equal, NIL wise, it wouldn't be my first choice to go to a program with a hot seat coach.

C'mon. It's not April 1st already is it?
He's not making $1M., that doesn't make sense.
$1M riding B1G pine > free shoes & 20 min/game playing for going-nowhere-U ???
I would be surprised if we don't see a much different looking Cupps for OSU. But damn... can't fathom he's commanding THAT big of a bag.
According to our newly-departed strength and conditioning coach, Cupps was the strongest, fittest player in program history on a pound for pound basis. That statement alone should have earned him a pink slip. Nevermind the annual greased-up beauty shots of players touting 0% body fat and 44-inch verticals.
I always had a conspiracy theory that involved Woodson, The Clippers, The Lakers, LeBron, Cupps, and JHS.
If he cracks 100, that'd be a new career high. So there's that.
If playing time is the issue, OSU makes zero sense for Cupps.
If OSU is offering $1M, then transferring there does make sense. Diebler, for building his recruiting cred, may want to “land” a 2x All State performer.

ever heard of Klutch sports? sometimes 1 moves proceeds others, look for OSU to be active.
he got half that, and there is only a slim chance of 1 player returning from last year's roster and it will be a shocker to all if it comes to fruition. Devries cleaned house; hope it was the right move.
the Bahamas trip last year will be the most significant event that influences the next 10 years of IU basketball. It got a coach fired a coach hired, and coach hired saw and heard enough things that led him to believe a total flush was needed. staying and going discussions were 1 sided.

I'm guessing yes. On a pure talent basis there might have been some guys you'd think he would want to keep but they may not have bought in to his approach or demands after talking with them, or vice versa. Chemistry matters too.
Yeah most of these guys were paid mercenaries playing for the money. That's what Woodrow wanted.
Lol Ohio State must ne desperate Cupps is not a big ten player.
if you need to move on, we will help with the process is a conversation, he had a lot of them
every player is a paid mercenary to some extent. I think Devries saw a lack of discipline and culture, that led him to believe a complete reboot is necessary.
He also knows that expectations are high and he may feel that his best chances for a good first season are with a complete team of guys he has picked and no vestiges of the old regime. A lot of people here said that a complete reboot was what this program needed. Assistants, staff, players, everything.
No way Cupp’s is getting that kind of dough. The folks at OSU aren’t stupid. I’d be very surprised if he even got $100,000 base on what we saw of him at IU. Hustle guy who plays hard, but nothing else is even average - ball handling under pressure, playmaking for himself and others, shooting, defending.
We need players who want to play for the name on the front of the jersey not the number of zeros on the check.
Yes drifting after you enter the air will not get the ball to go in. Straight up young man. I do wish him well.
