They may stay only because they will totally overpay to keep them. All this portal money and tons of it will go just to keep guys.
Hank---you aren't necessarily having a conversation with the highest IQ counterpart lolI imagine that was part of the point of the increased NIL.
How do you know this? They're supporting all sports and by showing support they are showing that you can count on them for the long haul. Cuban knows that Woodson realistically has just one year left.The big boosters for whatever reason want him to stay. I guess they like the wine and cigar nights.
As bad as woodson is I cannot even imagine how bad he would have been pre NIL and portal. He would of had to build a team of high school recruits just like crean did. I think it would have gone ever far worse than this last season was.I imagine that was part of the point of the increased NIL.
Possibly...it could be that the donors are as clueless about NIL and program building as the administration has been for...years.Depends on your goal. If you're trying to build a sustainable program for year after year success then loading up on portal mercenaries probably isn't the best long term approach. If you just need to assemble a team for one season to keep from getting fired then you might be able to make that work with a big enough pile of cash.
Someone wants Mike Woodson to stay in Bloomington. Hence the influx of money.
Like I said before. I dont think Jesus Christ has anything to do with IU basketball. If he did our team would be perfect.So far we are linked to 2 guards who both are mediocre at best from 3. Jesus Christ..
Does nobody recruit juco players anymore ? Think Dean Garrett, Keith Smart etc. There's surely some good ones out there.Exactly but we have pretty much killed our 2025 and 2026 recruiting by bringing woodson back. He is a lame duck coach and every other coach will use it against him if he bothers to even try and recruit any high school kids.
He can't hit a curve ball and can't hit a three either apparently. Need Jobu to fix this curse.Like I said before. I dont think Jesus Christ has anything to do with IU basketball. If he did our team would be perfect.
If they are a bubble team next year he is gone.Worst case scenario is they are a bubble team and they justify bringing him back again.
What was our ROI on our NIL money this year?I bet top 3 for bball. We better own this transfer portal.
video looks like Dolson went on shark tank.I bet top 3 for bball. We better own this transfer portal.
Hey, it is the nature of the beast now with NIL. Eddie George talked about $100 handshakes while at OSU and I guarantee both Duke and Kentucky had back channels to take care of their players. Coach K and Calipari have had handlers.
Good to see Todd Wagner involved. He is from Merrillville and lived on Boisen 4 his freshman year. We won Teter Quad in both football and basketball that year 1978-79. Todd was a pretty good athlete. I am not sure what fraternity he ended up in. Accounting undergrad and Law degree.
We lost in the basketball tournament to a team that included Tim Wilbur of football and Holdiay Bowl winner in 1979. Fun memories.
Rabby is reporting that IU has gotten the word out that they are flush and paying well. I would think most pllayers are already aware.I bet top 3 for bball. We better own this transfer portal.

I get that.I am all for becoming the NY Yankees of CBB.
Thank you that brought a laugh to me, hey who knows maybe they could be the Cleveland Indians basketball version in 24-25.He can't hit a curve ball and can't hit a three either apparently. Need Jobu to fix this curse.
Pretty bad. Ware was money. Mack was ok. Problem is woody forgot we need guys that can dribble.What was our ROI on our NIL money this year?
And bought into dog water in plastic bottles.video looks like Dolson went on shark tank.
bailey?And bought into dog water in plastic bottles.
I actually know a guy that has spent 4 years trying to make this work. Wagginwater and IU bball baby.
IU’s admin is trash, Bloomington’s elected officials are worse, the city has become a disaster, IU Basketball is irrelevant.I bet top 3 for bball. We better own this transfer portal.

The ROI on the NIL wasn’t great. The ROI on the coaching salaries was historically bad.What was our ROI on our NIL money this year?
Please tell me you invested. How do you know whited?Drew?
Yes we missed pieces at guard last year Newton’s injury didn’t help … the bench players decided to try and start somewhere else.Stroke is not the problem...never has been.
It is putting together the right pieces and making it go.
Well then, I guess theirs only one thing left to do... Win the whole f-cking thing.Thank you that brought a laugh to me, hey who knows maybe they could be the Cleveland Indians basketball version in 24-25.
The key is who will be on the stand up poster to start taking puzzle pieces off as they win the games. I am open to suggestions.Well then, I guess theirs only one thing left to do... Win the whole f-cking thing.
If you give a player NIL money and he has a bad year can you give him a pay cut? Or do you just Crean him?They may stay only because they will totally overpay to keep them. All this portal money and tons of it will go just to keep guys.
No. Dog water that costs the same as craft beer? What could go wrong? As for the latter, I must plead the fifth.Please tell me you invested. How do you know whited?
Either way, tske away TJD that Archie delivered him, his first two seasons would have been 15-16 type dumpster fires. Then this season..As bad as woodson is I cannot even imagine how bad he would have been pre NIL and portal. He would of had to build a team of high school recruits just like crean did. I think it would have gone ever far worse than this last season was.
I think the portal has probably greatly diminished the need/place for Jr College, you can go anywhere and then transfer and more people will see you play and have higher confidence what you can do because you've played some decent comp along the way. It's a totally different landscape, so harkening back to how it was in 1987 isn't really relevant, imo. I'm sure there will still be some juco guys come up because of their personal situations (grades, messing up in HS), but my guess is for anyone who can, they'll try and go to a 4 year school. The portal is going to kill the NIT, it is probably also going to diminish the juco transfer too. Different world.Does nobody recruit juco players anymore ? Think Dean Garrett, Keith Smart etc. There's surely some good ones out there.
I believe he wears an Irish ☘️ jersey.Like I said before. I dont think Jesus Christ has anything to do with IU basketball. If he did our team would be perfect.
You also like women barefoot and pregnant.I am old school. I like getting four yr kids on the most part with some transfers sprinkled in. We have no freshmen coming in so how old are our portal transfers going to be? If they are older then we are going to be in the same boat.
There are.Does nobody recruit juco players anymore ? Think Dean Garrett, Keith Smart etc. There's surely some good ones out there.
Barefoot in the kitchen yes. Pregnant, most definitely no.You also like women barefoot and pregnant.
Based on the Dolson/Woodson Performance Model of Compensation, you give them a 33% raise!If you give a player NIL money and he has a bad year can you give him a pay cut? Or do you just Crean him?
Only barefoot when making the babies.You also like women barefoot and pregnant.
