@hoosiers94 If I had to guess, I think we are done.

I really wonder what is going on with this program.

It seems that the U has made the calculated decision that we can't be big-time in both football & basketball at the same time.

We're keeping up some appearances.  Thus, the meaningless UNC scrimmage.  When you go to a live game you are subjected to 5 minutes of hype about days gone by. 

I see no urgency from the administration or the coaching staff.  The standard is "good enough".  "Good enough" given our current coach is borderline top 25 and 6-7 in the BT. Managed expectations.  Managed decline.

When Rabjohns tweeted to the effect that "our roster is complete" months ago I saw this coming.  But few took him at his word.  Why would a BT program with resources be content to leave the roster as it was?  That's a good question, and I've laid out my theory elsewhere.

There is only one ball.

Not too worried if the guy who touches it for 35 seconds a game isn't much.

Roster is a big upgrade. Now see if our guy can coach.

@openwheel I think its more than reasonable to be excited that we had the ability to spend more money, and to land more talent, this portal cycle than we did last portal cycle... but then to also be concerned that for whatever reason there appears to be a fairly hard cap on the spending, essentially locking us out of pursuing any of the impactful guys that came available later in the process.  And that we're pretty thin, again, up front... at a time when most of the elite level programs are stock piling post talent and depth.

@openwheel 35 seconds COULD equate to ~8 rebounds.

Well, we are still going to pick up that affordable 6-8, 230 pound guy who plays lock down defense and boards like Dennis Rodman. And everybody overlooked him.

So we are good.

in the state we currently are... you find the money if one of those types comes knocking on our door ... this isn't a socialistic experiment

Wow, Is this divination through reading tea leaves or phrenology or did the mushrooms tell you?

Is the FACT that a boat load of money was spent on this next team totally irrelevant to you?

"Calculated decision"?  Are you serious?

So you think SD and the Pres sat down and "calculated" that it is impossible to be good at both SO what does IU need to do to "keep up some appearances" to appease fans?

Once again - WOW!-
