Inside Indiana Sports Breakfast with Kent Sterling

Colts defense brings back bunch of starters, upgrades edge and depth, and might add a lock down corner.  That gives new coordinator Gus Bradley a bunch of tools to stop offenses.  

Race Thompson says he's coming back to Hoosiers, so IU appears to have a stout lineup if Trayce Jackson-Davis returns.  

Pacers are big Cavs fans tonight.  If Cleveland gets win, Pacers get their first round pick.

Colts free agent signee Rodney McLeod believes "a championship is destined" for the Colts!  Two more free agent wide receivers have been signed by other teams while the Colts hope the draft fills their urgent needs.  

Kemoko Turay signed a one-year deal with the 49ers, so his 5 1/2 sacks are gone!  Hey they didn't draft Paye and Odeyingbo - and trade for Ngakoue - because they treasured Turay!  

Baker Mayfield - the child - believes he is being disrespected by the Browns despite having a guaranteed salary of $18.9M for 2022. Way to prove the Browns right in moving on.  

Mike Woodson needs shooters AND defenders at IU - not a bunch of guys who do one and not the other!  And stay away from the Portal!

Stephon Gilmore was the NFL's Defensive Player of 2019 - does the Pro Bowl corner have another season like that in him at age 32?  Chris Ballard kicked the tires yesterday in a visit!  The Colts have areas they must address - I explain why!  

Indiana will get a visit from Wichita State transfer Dexter Dennis, who is another defensive specialist (which translates to "he can't shoot").  

Miles Bridges hit a little girl with a mouthguard last night.  Players need to calm themselves - and fans need to act like human beings.

Derek Carr signed an extension that will pay hims over $40M per year!  Mediocre quarterbacks everywhere are rejoicing, but it's Colts fans who should cheer the loudest because Ballard passed on the trade that could have destroyed the any chance to win!  

Butler and IU might be about to exchange statistically similar disgruntleds in a heretofore unimaginable trade.  There are three kinds of people I shun.

Ballard doesn't make mistakes in free agency because he doesn't sign free agents, and he trades first rounders for good player instead of taking shots at great ones.  Can the Colts win a championship with that style of architect?  

Former Indiana point guard Rob Phinisee is down to Butler and Cincinnati as his home for one more season.  

Cavs need a win Friday for the Pacers to reap their first round pick.  

Juwan Howard rumored to be top candidate to replace Frank Vogel as coach of the Lakers.  LA vs. Ann Arbor? Hmmm.  Not much of a choice.

There is one prospect projected in the mid-40s that if taken would make Colts fans heads explode!  He checks almost every Ballard box!  Can you guess who he is?  

Colts fortify special teams by signing ex-Patriot Brandon King.  

Russell Westbrook and the Pacers are a terrible fit on the court - and an awkward fit in terms of trading for assets.  Shams was either carrying water for Rob Pelinka or trolling for clicks.

Campbell re-signs with Ravens, so we turn to the draft where the Colts should take a receivers, tight end, and cornerback in their first three picks.

Kinda sorta Mock Draft ideas for Chris Ballard - his picks need to include Jahan Dotson, Jeremy Ruckert, Jaylin Armour-Davis, Braxton Jones, and any receiver named Austin!  Not too much to ask, is it?  

Pacers need to lance some boils, and sign some Lance!  

If the Pacers can deal their two player/CEOs, that works for me too! And for the next few days, let's go Cavs!  

Indiana will be able to go nine deep with quality next year (if Xavier Johnson and Trayce Jackson-Davis return), so they need to finish fifth to show progress

(at 7:33) George Pickens is coming off an injury, Jahan Dotson is a little small, and Christian Watson played at NDSU. When drafting at #42, it's going to be tough to find a wide receiver without a blemish.  And then it will be Reggie Wayne's challenge to coach them up!  

(at 2:05) Indiana point guard Xavier Johnson claimed he wasn't driving early Sunday because he was drunk.  The policeman found he was not drunk, but was driving - which is a weird twist!  

(at 5:40) LC grad and K-State transfer Nijel Pack visits Purdue.  

Tiger Woods scrambled to shoot 71 yesterday, and the Augusta weather may be perfect for him today!
