It's not like he can just wave a wand and good players just appear.
He couldn't get a good guard out of the portal last year.
Can he do it this year along with a big and a wing and a...... and a....... and a......

I do actually and to animal shelters. I hope your talking about military not the Indiana players.
We lost a ton last year -- TJD, Race Thompson, Miller Kopp and Hood-Schifino.
Nonetheless, I agree with you that we "recovered" this year to some extent. I also think we're playing better ball the past two weeks despite also suffering significant injuries.
Has anyone heard health updates on Galloway, Walker, Ware, Johnson and Reneau?
A well reasoned post. I agree the Leal and Trey would not come back if they thought it would be a dumpster fire. A recent Hossier Hysterics podcast guest noted that we've been working the portal well. I am not as pessimistic as most of the clowns posting
Did you notice that Leal played 28 minutes against MSU last night? That's a lot more fun than sitting on the bench where Woodson parked him much of the year.
Maybe Leal also loves the fact that Woodson now seems to recognize that Leal has talent and can contribute.
Galloway and Leal are both listed as seniors on IU's team roster right now.
Do you think they won't earn enough credits to graduate or something?

No offense to Leal and Galloway, but this team needs different guards. I love them, but there is a reason this team is 18-13.
Working the portal? There’s only like 6 or 7 kids in the portal currently.
Maybe AL played 28 yesterday because TG only played like 7?
Leal played 23 minutes against Minnesota in the prior game. I have no doubt he's getting more minutes.
There's ways to do it without signaling out the fan base. Without the fans, there's no ridiculous NIL money.
At some point you're right, but isn't most of the real NIL money coming from a few mega-donors (Simon, Cook, etc.). I don't think normal fans are giving much to the NIL collectives, maybe I'm wrong?
Some of you have no problem calling out players on here but when a player calls out a certain sector of fans all of a sudden you are butt hurt. Personally I had no problem with Leals remarks & suspect a large majority of the fans didn’t listening to their reactions that night. JM2cts
The Hoosier Hysterics goobers somehow had $1.5M raised, which I believe is mostly small donors. Unsure on the time period because they don’t disclose much (not good!). I don’t know what the normal fan gives to the other collectives. That said, while it sure isn’t billionaire $, it adds up to something material in the millions.

I should have been clearer, I wasn't saying the money comes from the fans but without fans, the program suffers to the point that the donors are not going to be giving to a program that can't draw in fans... confused yet? lol
I get it, that's basically what I meant by "at some point" .... i.e. if there is no audience, sponsors lose interest. We're a long ways from that, hopefully.
Part of what stinks about the current IUBB is our donations, NIL, etc. would be much higher if we were a top-15 team that could try and win the conference make a Final Four run. Everyone would be very excited vs. being forced to smile over a late season run with a tiny chance of getting us in the tourney (with no recruits yet next year).
