Re: Izzo and the portal
I think we need to start with 1) who do we lose? 2a) who are we bringing in? 2b) are they ready for meaningful minutes? 3) what realistic improvements are expected?
This may sound stoopid, but I don't think this team has glaring weakness. Maybe the 5, but that seems to be sorting itself out a bit. In the past we've lacked a true PG, or shooter or big over 6-8. I don't really see that with this team.
But I have no idea who is eligible to come back with all the Covid rules.

Agree, and you are, of course, right. My point is I've heard Izzo poo poo the portal. I don't know that what he says is what he feels. But my point is, it seems to me that you have to be open minded enough to look into it in order to survive modern college football and basketball. He very well might have thought Cooper and Maddy would take a step up and I know he wasn't counting on Kohler being hurt, but I hope what I hear about his feelings toward the portal are more myth than reality. I think he needs to have an open mind. Do some window shopping like me, not power shopping like my wife.

Look at our big man here. Step over and help stop the drive, we’re not doing that, stay with your man and box out. Seems to me our guy didn’t do either one of those. How long does it take to make a solid decision? It still looks like the game is happening too fast. It must really frustrate Izzo.

Hoggard has to break the funk, then graduate. Cause fears feels like the real deal.

Played a year with Walker at Northeastern, and went to Holloman's high school.

I'd consider him more of a replacement for Hall.

I'd guess that means Hoggard won't be back. I'd rather lose him than Akins.

Re: Izzo and the portal
Woodson is on the last year of his contract. Â A few weeks ago IU’s only recruit 5* Liam McNeeley 6’8” /210# forward decommited from his commitment he made in Oct ‘23.
A couple of days ago Bryson Tucker 5* 6’7”/180# small forward committed to IU. Â MSU and Kansas were in his top 3.
IU has 6 players leaving Kel’el Ware for the NBA draft and 5 others . Â It’s being reported that Woodson is going to be reloading using the portal to fill the 6 open scholarship slots.
I won’t complaint about Izzo’s use of the portal because we don’t know who’s staying or leaving except for Walker and Hall. Izzo and staff were recruiting Tucker and probably are monitoring interest of players already in or might be going into the portal.

Agree with you and Kingston. However, that is one outstanding young man.. I wonder what his major is? I get the feeling, he’s going to consider a masters degree from one of the schools in what his major is before anything else. The term student/athlete doesn’t really exist anymore.. in his case I really believe it does

Mid 80’s at Lansing Everette with the Thomas twins on the first HS team I asst coached out of college, we had a kid named Richard head. I know that’s hard to believe now. I thought what were his parents thinking? If he was 17 in 1984/85 he was born in 67/68. I was wondering if the term dick head was around back then. I have to believe it was.

Ok I should note that my hope has been burned so often by incoming freshmen shooters. Is Chris Hill the last one that exceeded expectations? I won't name names, but yikes, I need to see it in games first. Maybe that is where Izzo is coming from.
