This edition of The Assembly Call dives into Indiana's complete roster overhaul and what fans might expect heading into the 2025-26 season.After inconsistent results under previous regimes, Indiana basketball is embracing a paradigm shift toward a more modern, movement-oriented system. The conversation highlights DeVries' business-like approach to program building and the significant shift in roster construction.Key discussion points include:The new-look roster featuring primarily mid-major transfers like Lamar Wilkerson and Tucker DeVriesThe team's potential defensive identity with aggressive ball pressure rather than traditional rim protectionReasonable expectations for the upcoming season in a competitive Big TenThe contrasting styles of DeVries vs. Woodson, particularly the shift to a more face-up, perimeter-oriented offenseThe possibility of Luke Goode and Anthony Leal returning with additional eligibility waiversWe speculate about where this roster might fall in the Big Ten pecking order and why Indiana's apparent change in approach and culture is a welcome development.Plus, as always, plenty of basketball analysis, listener questions, and a candid discussion about maintaining realistic expectations while embracing the positive changes within the program. That's all in this edition of The Assembly Call.On the mics: Coach Brian Tonsoni, Ryan Phillips, Bob Moats, and Jerod MorrisSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Darian DeVries is checking boxes methodically without compromise - we'll see what is built when complete, but so far the foundation appears strong. Colts have two acceptable tracks with the 14th pick - take Tyler Warren or trade back. Chris Ballard will undoubtedly choose a third option - which is use the 14th pick to draft someone else. My prediction is Jihaad Campbell. Pacers have three games left in the regular season - and barring either a collapse or surge, will be the four seed in the East. https://mybookie.website/joinwithKENT Promocode: KENT Here is the link for the world's greatest autobiographical book featuring only the mistakes the author has made: https://www.amazon.com/Oops-Art-Learning-Mistakes-Adventures/dp/173420740X Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode of The Assembly Call dives deep into IU's new basketball coach, Darian DeVries, analyzing his coaching philosophy and what fans can expect from this fresh start.We discuss the current roster changes with players entering the transfer portal and DeVries' approach to building his team. Throughout the conversation, we examine his coaching style, offensive and defensive strategies, and what this new era means for Indiana basketball.Among the topics discussed:- The mass exodus (for real this time!) of players to the transfer portal and why fans shouldn't panic about the rebuild under DeVries (10:45)- DeVries' philosophy on unselfish basketball and making "the one more pass" offers insights into his offensive approach that differs from previous coaches (36:00)- DeVries' track record of adapting to player personnel, highlighting his success at Drake and West Virginia despite injuries (42:00)- Jerod finally shows up to participate in an extensive discussion about the relationship between IU fans and the program, and how DeVries *might* be the coach to restore trust and enthusiasm (1:23:00)- Ryan returns to emphasize why hiring a true "college basketball guy" instead of an NBA coach is exactly what Indiana needed (1:53:00)Ultimately, the discussion centers around the reality that while results will ultimately determine DeVries' success, his coaching philosophy, basketball knowledge, and approach to team-building give IU fans legitimate reasons for optimism after years of disappointment.On the mics: Coach Tonsoni, Ryan Phillips, Andy Bottoms, and Jerod MorrisSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
