It is just a few steps out of the gate but you have to love Woodson et al so far.Now the Team has some serious work to put in...
Here's to watching a Team that's Tough to beat next season! 🏀 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🏀😎
And to think there were people that would have given Archie another year UNBELIEVABLE>
I certainly have no complaints - at least, nothing that’s in his control.It is just a few steps out of the gate but you have to love Woodson et al so far.
But he didn’t get one — so what’s the point of harping about it?And to think there were people that would have given Archie another year UNBELIEVABLE>
We had two top 5 draft picks, a 5* freshman, and 2 veteran seniors all not that long ago. Roster is upgraded from last year that's for sure but we've had plenty more "talented" rosters since Knight.Wow our roster is stacked with shooters. This is the most talented roster I can think of since the Bob Knight days.
Whoa, let’s not get out over our skis here.Wow our roster is stacked with shooters. This is the most talented roster I can think of since the Bob Knight days.
Might want to tap the brakes just a tad. People are talking about winning the Big 10, top 15 rankings, and ”most talented” rosters and the ink is barely dry on MW’s contract and we’re months away from a practice or game.Wow our roster is stacked with shooters.

We're fans, not reporters. No point in not going hog wild.Might want to tap the brakes just a tad. People are talking about winning the Big 10, top 15 rankings, and ”most talented” rosters and the ink is barely dry on MW’s contract and we’re months away from a practice or game.
Of course there’s a point in not going hog wild.We're fans, not reporters. No point in not going hog wild.
Definantly not the best 1-7 roster going back that for, but I think spots 9-13 are by far the best they have been in a while. It appears that all 13 are legitimate big ten caliber players which has not happened in a whileWe had two top 5 draft picks, a 5* freshman, and 2 veteran seniors all not that long ago.

With expectations come reality and vice versa. That being said, Woodson has constructed a very complete roster heading into his first year. IU returns an All-American, a very serviceable F in Race Thompson, adds two proven P5 transfers, another transfer with P5 experience who was a big time scorer at the low-major level, and adds a top 50 wing.Of course there’s a point in not going hog wild.
I’m all for having and keeping to expectations that are generally in the direction we want. I think we’ve struggled with having appropriate expectations — some seem wildly unrealistic, others seem to be non-existent.
Expectations are good, but they have to be tethered to reality.
No disagreement there. I believe those are realistic expectations, given where we’re starting from after the coaching change.With expectations come reality and vice versa.

There's no reason to think IU shouldn't make the tournament next year and make it comfortably. I think a mid-pack finish in the B10 is a reasonable expectation and honestly IU has the horses to compete in the upper fourth. On paper I would say Michigan, Maryland, Ohio State, and Purdue all appear to be stronger and after that it's wide open. The B10 doesn't appear to be the meat grinder that it was last year with a bunch of the top dogs leaving and that bodes well for Indiana.
yeah in fairness, the 2012-2013 roster was the perfect roster to get to the F4. Crean just wore them into the ground and then failed to notice that Cuse occasionally will throw a zone at you.Whoa, let’s not get out over our skis here.
I mean, it wasn’t all that long ago that we had two of the top 4 picks in the draft on our roster....to go along with a pretty strong supporting cast. We also had the likes of Bryant and Anunoby, etal.
I’m happy with what’s transpired over the past 5 weeks, too. But this kind of praise seems premature.
Or were claiming there was no question he was going to get another year and maybe 2 lolAnd to think there were people that would have given Archie another year UNBELIEVABLE>
Shooters are overated just give Archie more time, it took Tony Bennett 5 years to get things going. Love the apologists (you know who you are!!!!!!!)Wow our roster is stacked with shooters. This is the most talented roster I can think of since the Bob Knight days.
Nobody knew about the secret donor at the time. It was reasonable to expect it.Or were claiming there was no question he was going to get another year and maybe 2 lol

Not at all. Was becoming way too negative around all aspects of the program. Especially given the comments some players have made since the dismissalNobody knew about the secret donor at the time. It was reasonable to expect it.
You need to get a new thing to say over and over.And to think there were people that would have given Archie another year UNBELIEVABLE>
So you’re saying the players knew about the ten mill buyout? I hadn’t heard that before.Not at all. Was becoming way too negative around all aspects of the program. Especially given the comments some players have made since the dismissal
Well, since the little fella here previously figured there was no reason to even have an 11-13, I’d say that’s kinda accurate.Definantly not the best 1-7 roster going back that for, but I think spots 9-13 are by far the best they have been in a while. It appears that all 13 are legitimate big ten caliber players which has not happened in a while
No. I’m saying it was unreasonable to think IU wouldn’t make a move. The buyout isn’t a lump sum. Add in the fact the team was booed off the floor in their last game. You don’t run a big time collegiate program and say “we don’t have the money to make a move”. Opportunity cost is higher than the monthly buyout paymentSo you’re saying the players knew about the ten mill buyout? I hadn’t heard that before.
