Rancik scheduled on campus starting Thursday according to rabjohns

Indiana is rich as sh** - trilly Buckle up.

If he commits I expect the same efficiency posts by the national media for Otz to post about DeVries efficiency. That would be 4 on campus and 4 commits

Reminder:

Sherrels brother liked the commitment post also if people read into that

encouraging

Trilly saying no visit to MSU for Sherrill. Sounds like if nobody jumps in to compete with us financially he will be a Hoosier.

Safe to say DDV won't be caught without a true C in the Big Ten again

Bossi confirmed it doesn’t effect Sherrill and am announcement for him in the next 24 hrs. Sounds like the staff got this done on the down low so no one knew they were looking that way

I guess not being fully staffed wasn't just an excuse

bidding has escalated too high for michigan state, they are likely out. indiana is the favorite.” Per Trilly

Ngl if sherrels camp wants him to play the 4 this makes sense and we’re paying him the most

Trilly said we’re rich as **** again lol

I don’t feel like digging through my files, but just imagine me posting the picture of Cig holding up the “Get F****d” sign and it’s directed at Tom Izzo.

I don’t think the Euro guys care about visiting at all. I dig it.

His agents job is to get him the best deal. Need to give it a minute to make sure nobody comes in with a crazy offer. Sounds like IU has the best offer and they cancelled the visit that was set up after. Seems like IU is in a great position but at the end of the day money talks.

on3 reporting we will be getting a visit from 6'9" F Sebastian Rancik from Colorado.

May actually be a better sign than any crystal ball.

If Sherrell does commit. I expect a handwritten apology to DeVries, Wayne. The man has all the juice.

Rabby said smoke growing for IU for Sherrell

Alright alright alright. This is Indiana acting like a big bully. #ballingonabudget is now #ballingonabigbudget. Mustaf is flat intriguing. Harris is a value pick up. Burton is a dude. And if we get Sherrill that’s a boss move. I love Tiller/Reibe as options. Love them both. Let’s get 1. Then I like Khamenia a ton for this roster. Not sure if that has any legs but we don’t seem to be done yet on higher ranked guys. Happy guy today, especially if the Sherrill news is legit.

Add Sherrell, Rancik, and a wing shooter/scorer like Jake Hall and I would be over the moon happy with this portal season.

Rancik can shoot. And to be honest, Reed Bailey with a jump shot would have made a pretty useful Big Ten 4 man. Interestingly, the #1 most similar season to Ranick's '25-26 on Kenpom is Christian Watford '11-12.

Carr/DeVries/staff saw Michigan and Illinois’ success and said, “Watch this.” The new IU is off to a goooood start.

They will be less likely to leave when they’re all being paid well and you’re winning. I think our perception is a little skewed because of how much of a mess we’ve been. Most top teams with sufficient funds aren’t losing key players to the portal. This is pretty much what Carr laid out. Otherwise it would be pointless to build through recruiting like they want to do. Once there’s a stable roster you can go throw some big money at that one main portal piece or a 5 star freshman.

I mean Monday was an OK kind of a day, but DDV, what are you going to do for us today?

Food for thought: 3 freshman Sisley (soph) Burton (junior) Mustaf (junior) Harris (junior) IF we get Sherrill, that's another Junior. Reibe is a sophomore, Hall is a sophomore, Tiller is a sophomore, Brumbaugh is a senior. Of the names we have been hearing that we already have and we are pursuing at this point, only Brumbaugh is a senior.

Assuming Sherrell is the next add, the moves by DeVries and staff to upgrade the roster positionally in terms of talent and size deserves an A+. Not only impressed but thoroughly shocked. Do think we need to pivot to some shooters. I’m not sold on Mustaf and Harris ability to shoot consistently from the perimeter, and if the plan is to play Sherrell and Samet together, we’re going to need some snipers. Jake Hall would immediately become my #1 priority.

Bet you guys DDV gets more out of his (probably) $20M roster than Mark Pope got out of his

I watched him a bunch during the year and live at the First 4. Bigger in person. Had some good games. Also got torched when he got switched onto a guard but that’s probably expected. Nice center option

Competition is good for everyone. I definitely know Trent is going to work really hard this offseason and if he’s good enough to get minutes we’re better for it

want... for sure a want... B12 numbers-- 12p 6r 2a 1s and he can clearly handle the rock.

The man behind the magic

No chance this is how it went, but I would love to think that Dolson stood in front of some folks who shall be left nameless, and said, “Hey, y’all insisted on giving Woodson that pointless extra year and cost me a shot at May and put us another year behind the eight ball. You did that. DeVries can coach and you owe him and this program every dime and every thing he needs to put this thing back together with no questions asked.”

Hilarious that KJ is tweeting gifs as still images. Buddy is focused on recruiting, not how the internet works. Go off king

Adam Olsen had to be an intentional troll job by the program. I bet they were sitting back laughing at everyone melting down over that knowing they were sitting on an insane amount of $ about to walk into the room and handpick guys they wanted.

If Reibe left UConn dissatisfied with PT, no way in hell he takes a diminished role here. Cash is king, but PT is right up there chasing it in terms of importance.

It’s all pretty fungible behind the scenes from what I understand. Football has absolutely energized the donors. For example, Cuban only started giving a serious amount because of football. His now annual donation is not earmarked for football, he said it’s Scott’s call, so a little bit probably gets chipped off for MBB. I’d guess something like this happens with a lot of donations. And our athletic dept revenue is up about 50% over the past two years. It's easier to cover the $21M rev share, which frees up donors on the NIL front, and also there is just more money around that can help some with MBB expenses. Pretty cool situation. I still don't know what we're gonna spend on our MBB roster this year, but it seems like it is going to be more than we thought.
