It's not ideal.

Hopefully it’s not a dagger in the heart of the program!

Where would Ivisic go?

Ivisic could get drafted, his brother is listed on early boards #43, he is better than his brother, not even close imo. Also the draft will be overall light as far as proven players. The bigs will be a mix of US players from overseas and just overseas players...Ivisic could benefit late 2nd round.

Selfishly, I would love to have Riley/Ivisic both back, KJ gone Top 10, Demin will join him, Fears may even be playing himself into the 1st rd funny enough.

Riley-Ivisic-Rodgers-Boswell-White-Johnson and DGL- would make for a really good return team next year. 2 freshman + Costanza. 8 deep before transfers in or out.

Chief spends more time worried about next season’s roster than Brad Underwood.

He spends more time on next season's roster than Underachiever spends on in-game substitutions and player rotations.

Hard to argue with that assessment

Maybe that's why he has to reload EVERY year?

He's had a pretty good record since the portal kicked in.

It’s more like every other year. Teams like Purdue are the exception.

Covid helped alot with extra years....when it evens out after this year we will see. I actually like the new players, following, seeing them gel as a team.

All coaches dealt with the Covid extra year issue tho. Underwood's record since the portal kicked in has been pretty good. Will that change this year ? It's a work in progress.
And you're assuming they gel as a team. We don't appear to have any Matthew Mayer's on the team but replacing 85-90% of the experience and scoring is generally what most coaches would try to avoid.

Underwood compared the current situation to junior college coaching and notes he had some success doing that.

His in-game substitution and player rotation patterns do not even look junior college-esque.

I think he was probably talking about the recruiting aspect.

Agree with that last part especially, however, I do think BU and his past experience in Juco and more lends to him handling it better than most other coaches. If nothing else, it gives us degenerates something to focus on every year, root for after the fact when they are here playing, and reloading with interest/genuine fandom every year.
