Let’s go. Pumped about this pick up. Get the 7’3 Italian kid and DDV will officially be cookin. Mama Mia

Haven't seen this news posted by anyone else but no reason to doubt London's sources. Dushawn London - Top 5 prospect Marcus Spears Jr. has heard from the following programs so far, @247sports is told. - Miami (offer) - Duke - Kentucky - SMU (offer) - Arizona - Arkansas - LSU (offer) - Indiana (offer) - Virginia - Tennessee (offer) - Maryland - Houston

We need all the shooters

Gardner making another UV to Bloomington later this week.

Hitting me with the good stuff right here. Who filled this role last year? Maybe Ya or Walsh? Norton is the on court go to guy and so is Devries. That’s at least one more than last year.

Just saw this on the AP (6/16/25) Seattle Storm sign forward Mackenzie Holmes

It’s nice that you stop by the forums every few weeks to baselessly speculate and then panic and crash out for no reason.

Need you to look into that crystal ball and tell me what lotto numbers to play!

If we win more than 10 games in the conference this year we'll make the tourney and DeVries can coach. Thats the ceiling. Between 7th and 14th could go a lot of ways. I think I did a May, Pop, Kelsey rough average and through it out there as an expected bar to reach, and theres no way that will be possible. I'm a long ways from being swayed into thinking that Dolson really hit it out of the park.

It’s another guard but I’m here for it.

Most fair / balanced line of thinking imo. have seen projections of IU finishing 12th in conference or worse and best case being a low tourney seed. I think that’s overly pessimistic considering DeVries’ track record in building teams and record, the level of players brought in across the floor including elite outside shooting on high volume (Wilkerson particularly), the veteran depth and the history of winning the transfers bring. That said, we really have no idea how well they will gel, how ready they will be as a team for B1G level bball, and how consistently they can win without a banging big up front (I’m less concerned about that, but of course don’t know). I personally am high on the team’s construction and running and shooting plan, and am pumped to see Wilkerson and Conerway getting down the floor and orchestrating offense. I think we’ll be a lot better than 12th, but it’s hard to predict at this point

We've been in direct contact with Hill.

About the same as Mike Woodson's teams is the ceiling? What is the floor? Opinions are what we're here for and you are certainly entitled to yours, but I'm curious what the basis is for your opinion. Can't be roster quality because Woodson failed with far more roster star power, and Kelsey succeeded greatly last year with significantly less roster buzz. Isn't it more accurate to state that the new era is currently a big, fat question mark, but is being led by a staff that has flat-out produced results wherever they've been.

“[I’m in talks on setting up other officials with] University of Miami, Indiana, and Texas,” he said. https://www.zagsblog.com/2025/06/16/five-star-new-jersey-guard-deron-rippey-jr-updates-recruiting-following-kentucky-offer/

https://x.com/TMarkwith14/status/1934281014995476485 IU offers 247 top 50 PG Nasir Anderson. Plays at Georgia powerhouse Norcross HS and in the 3SSSB circuit for Game Elite. Has had a huge spring. MVP of the FIBA U16 Americup event and was apparently 1 of the hottest ‘27’s at the NBPA Camp. https://247sports.com/player/nasir-anderson-46148955/ https://n.rivals.com/content/athletes/nasir-anderson-323443?view=pv https://www.hudl.com/profile/18960336/Nasir-Anderson

Had offers from Oregon and Georgia Tech and Kansas was showing interest. Don’t know much about him other than his stats. 86% from the line likely says his three point shooting will also translate. Another multiple year of eligibility helps.

All of our top four guards are in their last year of eligibility. We desperately need system-familiar guards for the future. Bigs? We’re a little better with Sisley, Harris, and Dorn.

I like this pick up from out of the blue. Another shooter and a combo guard with good size. He'll also be 20 at the start of the season with experience against players in the top Serbian league. From looking at his stats it looks like he is a decent rebounder for a guard, is a willing passer, and can get steals (although not consistently). It looks like he can get a bit sloppy with the ball, though. I guess consistency might be something he needs to work on. Edit: Reading on peegs that he's expected to be a depth/development player next year so don't expect too much in year 1.

Oh Hell yes, Serb 200 pound well tested shooter/lead guard-wing. yes, I’d like another forward but this is a great pickup. Love, love love that we’re adding an experienced Euro ball player, team just got deeper and better. And this kid looks tough.

OL out of Greenwood, IN 247 On3 Center Grove guy. Just a hop, skip, and jump from campus. On an OV today.

Gonna go out on limb and suggest Dwayne Stephens is not recruiting Thompson for Western Michigan. Guessing he’s recruiting him should he be the next guy at Michigan State.

Still on the IU radar. Top-30 2027 prospect Davion Thompson tells me that he has heard from the following schools since the initial contact period began: Indiana UConn Ohio State Michigan Michigan State Oklahoma UCLA Washington Tennessee Notre Dame Pittsburgh Western Michigan South Carolina

Also found the video interesting in that new Director of Basketball Operations Garrett Sturtz, at the ripe age of 25, was in the mix. Sturtz is a former walk-on at Drake who became their all-time rebounding leader as a 6'3" guard. Seems like a young coach on the rise for sure. Also notable: Tucker and Enright dressed but not on video during the full contact stuff.

So intense, engaged, and detailed… I know it’s a hype clip but I’m impressed with Coach Norty. This staff really seems like night and day from the last one and that really should make a difference…

Nice!! Called up from the minors. Now Mac needs the Storm to get blown out or blow a team out so that she can start to show out in garbage time and leverage that into a shot at rotation minutes,

I 100% support and fully endorse this statement. *worth mentioning, I am also a lefty

Imagine for a bunch of reasons this is priority 1, or really close to it, for ‘27. But you just KNOW what’s gonna happen: IU’s gonna land Gardner who proceeds to have a really good FR year and heads to the draft. Meanwhile, Purdue signs Zachary away from a bunch of MM’s and the kid spends 4 years sticking 3’s in our eye.

We're 1 of 14 schools that have been in contact Gardner since it became "open season".

A 2-game DMV Live Warm-Up event. Moody listed in several different categories.

Pretty surprised the amount of negativity in the Mem-Orl trade. Really, really like Bane for Orlando. Gives them everything they didn’t have. Signed for multiple years and young enough to justify it. Got out from under Caldwell-Pope and Anthony. Gave up some mid to late 1’s, though the Phoenix pick could be anything. Not sure I see it for Memphis unless they’re planning to tear it down. Could Jackson be available? Man, would that guy bring a return.

Yes!

Whoa. We're on a roll. Dushawn London - Top 10 prospect Ryan Hampton has heard from the following schools so far. - Kentucky - Texas (offered) - Houston - Ole Miss - LSU - Auburn - Missouri - SMU - Indiana - South Carolina We offered Hampton last month.

This weekend (June 20-22) is the annual Charlie Hughes Shootout. Games will be played at Carmel HS and at Westfield HS. $10 daily admission. This is an Evaluation Period so coaching staffs can attend. Tentatively looking at nearly 350 games to be played. https://www.charliehughesbasketball.com/ https://basketball.exposureevents.com/245362/2025-ibca-ihsaa-boys-team-showcase-in-memory-of-charlie-hughes/schedule

I foresee him as a development OL. Great size and the future is his to take. Happy with this addition should he decide to SLI.

I'll try to break it to you gently but I've yet to see our name mentioned as having been in contact with a single '27 recruit since midnight and I follow way too many X accounts. Bunch of slackers for a coaching staff and we should fire every one of them.

Nope...not yet

Lefties are the best. Worth mentioning I'm a lefty.
