So, what happens now in Bloomington

They should have hired Alford and were going to until a certain trustee told Myles that they better hire a minority or else. And from that point on, once RMK's kids were gone, it's been straight downhill as will continue until the Knight curse is no more.

Steve would have continued to recruit as Knight did and IU would have at least one more Natty appearance if not a couple.

Alford? No. Pitino? Yes. Mike Davis had just finished his 1st year as interim coach. Pitino was coming back to college. Indiana stuck with Davis instead. Pitino goes to Louisville. Indiana would have at least 2 titles if Pitino comes to Bloomington instead.

Gone
TE - Max Klare - Ohio St
DB - Derrick Rodgers jr. - FAU
DB/S -Koy Beasley - Miami (Ohio)
WR - Shamar Rigby - Oklahoma St

Portal
DB - Nyland Green
WR - CJ Smith

Total of 34 have entered and 20 are gone so far. Odom has his work cut out!

Quite frankly, a fresh group is probably preferable. I'm not losing sleep over losing anyone from the worst school in football this season.

The talent level was minimal, and while that's probably not getting much better right away, you'll get players who know what they are stepping into and still willing to come. That should equate to full buy in.

The schedule lightning up should almost guarantee a better record which points the arrow up. Now, does Purdue football intend to put their money where it needs to go the next few seasons? That will go a long way to making the rebuild shorter or longer.

I am going to double down and say that if Painter can keep the roster together, Purdue is a year away from a special season. Auburn was rough, but so was FDU a few years back. This is not a finished product.

If you go all in on the portal you are going to have to overspend precious resources and you are going to lose players and effectively rebuild. Now if Painter can supplement the roster with a Lance Jones type transfer, I have no issue with that.

No one is saying go all in on the portal

It doesn't have to be either extreme

There are good players in the portal that would fit here just fine each year. You don't need a million dollar player.

If it was because of a much better NIL money, can’t blame him. If it was about jumping to a winning program only, good riddance.

If you're going to fault one, you have to fault the other. And if you do that, then you fault the entire process as a whole. Guys are going to move for whatever reason that suits them now that this system is in place. Money, playing time, winning, getting closer to home, getting further from home, girlfriend/boyfriend, scenery, education (gasp!). This is a new world of college sports. I hate it, but to complain about it at this point is like the old man yelling at a cloud. Nobody is going to hear you. We just deal with having a 30-50% roster change every year and hope for the best.

I think everyone thought Myles and Cam would contribute more than they have so far and those two would be enough. I thought Caleb might be better up and down and being his senior year surprise us and yes I think most of us thought Berg would be more ready than he is. We thought the freshmen guards would allow some rest and help with ball handing as needed, but that has been pretty typical for many freshmen. Had only Myles and Cam contributed as many thought, Purdue would be much farther ahead and those losses may not have happened...certainly the first three would unlikely be three loses.

TKR is better than expected.
Braden and Fletch are what we expected.
Things haven’t clicked yet for Colvin or Heidi, and we need it to for at least 1 of them.
Cox Harris and Burgess are freshman and will have more downs than ups this year, like most freshman.

But.... Biden deported undocumented people at a faster rate than Trump (which I don't especially like, but whatever).

That is both true and highly misleading. Biden deported more because he allowed in four times as many illegals.

"While the raw numbers are much higher under Biden — 5 million encounters compared with 1.4 million under Trump in those time frames . . ."

EVERY game will be fun, sold out, and electric for IU football. Both for pre-B1G warmups and for conference play.

And if you don’t care for the stadium? Good news! Tens of millions have been committed for stadium and facilities upgrades.

Sounds like iu is determined to have a football team the General Studies program can be proud of.

A domed stadium will be needed to stop the goose poop.

Reality such as getting a top 3,000 yd portal QB with 2 years of eligibility, 2 new starting RBs (one from the B10), TE from Wisconsin, and various productive WRs and DL to reload. Cig has been busy. I wish that Karloftis (sp?) had more speed. Seems like a player Cignetti would like.

Expecting some OL signings next. An I Association member told my son in South Bend that football NIL is exploding.

OK, now that evidence is out that he is undocumented, I accept that point.

But.... Biden deported undocumented people at a faster rate than Trump (which I don't especially like, but whatever). And crime rates by undocumented people tend to be lower than by U.S.-born citizens.

www.cbsnews.com

Deportations by ICE jumped to 10-year high in 2024, surpassing Trump-era peak

ICE deported more than a quarter-million unauthorized immigrants in fiscal year 2024, the highest tally in a decade.

Undocumented Immigrant Offending Rate Lower Than U.S.-Born Citizen Rate

An NIJ-funded study examining data from the Texas Department of Public Safety estimated the rate at which undocumented immigrants are arrested for committing crimes. The study found that undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and...

Quit with the virtue signaling. "undocumented".....give me a break. He's an illegal. By definition. He broke our immigration laws (several times to be here).

I think Furst decided long ago that basketball was not his future and is doing "just enough" to get by until he gets his degree .. and that is okay really. Yeah I know that impacts the team as a whole, but long term it likely is what is best for him. He still puts in an effort it would seem, just not enough to improve his basketball skills.

Is what it is at this point. But I agree, we have a weakish schedule coming up so play other people and build for next year and take our lumps this year.. but we grow as a team. Long term > short term.

Basketball, while still being important to him, is unlikely the main focus of his life. Getting in to medical school is no easy chore.
