Listen to this guy. Holy shit. We hit the jackpot.
Yep, sure feels that way. Gotta wait and see how they gel, but this team has a lot of pieces.
He’s the real deal. He will be the best guard in the B1G. He has all the things needed. Oh Cav…I’ve been making fun of Dakich on X. He’s finally down to the “tough guy” comment. 😂😂🤣
For sure. Like this Mullins kid? I could care less. Sure, high 5 star and 4 star guys are good to have commit. But man, are they gonna be Rice??? Hell no. I am one that wants to play by the new rules and change it up.I'm so sold on Rice and Carlyle. Hard to worry about Haralson when we have these guys.
AYN1! @bsmitty
Those days are gone. If IU is to become a "dream school" again, they'll have to stay up with all the things modern day kids pay attention to. And that's basically technology related things, NIL deals, allowing their players to have social media presence, etc...a 10ppg+ scorer with 1-2 yrs college experience playing for a P5 team, who still plans to stick around for another 2+ yrs, is more appealing to me than a million dollar OAD who hasn't even been to his first day of class at IU. We're all still adjusting our mindsets in the new age of portal + NIL. But I am now realizing that the ole "locking down the state of Indiana" does not matter as much as it once did.
Granted, I do miss the days where kids (Alford, Bailey etc) grew up shooting FTs in their driveway, pretending they were playing for IU in the Hall and about to make two game-winning free throws....while their boom box played Mellencamp's Rain on the Scarecrow.

Couldn't have said it better.
Braden Smith was named preseason POY today. Should be interesting to see he and Rice go at it.He’s the real deal. He will be the best guard in the B1G. He has all the things needed. Oh Cav…I’ve been making fun of Dakich on X. He’s finally down to the “tough guy” comment. 😂😂🤣
Totally agreeBraden Smith was named preseason POY today. Should be interesting to see he and Rice go at it.
Ok replace Mellencamp with “Word Up” by Cameo. Does that work ?we did not have Mellencamp in the hood.
Either one works for me.Ok replace Mellencamp with “Word Up” by Cameo. Does that work ?
Just like u said about Tamar Bates right. Can you just wait to see how he plays before you slob on his knob?
