Sounds like we’re looking to add a backup big man and a sharp shooter.

Bossi said IU just started talking to Lindsey yesterday when his camp said he was still in play and not committed to USC. IU likes him alongside Burton and in case of any guard injuries. Also his relationship with Kenny Johnson played a big part.

Perfect. Now we can grab him next year.

@WayneFleekHoosier and all us Hoosier fans right now watching all this portal success….

I wonder if the sharpshooter's name rhymes with Ophelian Momishomeabunch

I saw that he committed without a visit. I think we just made a HUGE mistake. Had we taken the time to meet with him, we'd have noticed the obvious flaw -- the kid has no feet. I think this could be a real problem.

Carr: Scott, found a 3rd big I really like, but he’s gonna be a little pricey. Thoughts? Dolson:

Do it again, dare ya

He left a great job to come to IU. If they maintain some level of consistent success I think he gets to be here as long as he wants.

You can tell just how closely guarded the staff has kept their recruiting strategy by the fact that the major IU sources don't already have stories up and posted on Lindsay.

We scour every place imaginable for tidbits of info on players we're recruiting and post every update and crystal ball prediction we find. And then Samet yesterday and Lindsay today. Kinda fun to have the names just pop up out of nowhere. This year's portal recruiting almost resembles a military campaign in how it's been managed and executed.

Would hold a spot or 2 until portal closes just to see which agents purposely have their clients enter later. Unless you want it done and over with i would at least hold a spot until it’s officially closed

Do other schools know the portal is open?

Sounds like he was close to committing to USC last night and then IU got word there could be an opening. Wasn’t even on the radar They studied the film and decided they wanted him. Full court press today and got his commitment without a visit. According to Bossi

Let's just make the tourney...and ffs can we beat northwestern for once?! Babysteps fellow Hoosiers!

You are in luck maybe

0 shot we are rolling with 10 guys. We just signed 6 players in a week and have the core of the team in place. Have to look for quality depth now, so probably nothing imminent will be announced. IMO that's all that's going on.

Too much bathroom talk for a guy who has sat on the toilet all day long

I think that’s going to be Sisley.

So much for needed to make the tourney for momentum. It would have helped but in this day and age money talks

Heck no with the way this staff is doing business

Now win during the season

What a squid

Or another commit an hour after I posted this lol.

Update?

Just watched POTB w/Tony Adragna breaking down the new additions from the portal. And Tony's take was this unit as a whole should be able to put more pressure out front having more rim protection on the backside with Yigitoglu and Sherrell. Creating more TO's and getting out on the break, something we didn't have this year. D is a ?, but the length and athleticism should be a major improvement. Fingers crossed.

Transfer portal rankings can be fun to look at but they’re mostly useless. There’s far too many players in the portal for the rating services to have any ability to rank them accurately

Speaks to our staff's ability to connect with guys. Obviously money helps. But to be able to lock down a guy in 24 hours who had other good suitors speaks volumes. KJ's relationship helped a ton I'm sure; but Devries obviously has some sort of sauce to be able to close quickly on a guy he didnt have a relationship with.

The 3rd big definitely could define the team's ceiling. Hopefully we have one last trick up our sleeve for that role.

I'd be fine with never seeing that account shared on here again since it's now shown to be run by an idiot or a child or an idiotic child. Not having Twitter is wonderful.

Man, what I wouldn’t give for the Puerto Rico trip THIS season.

Call me crazy but I think these next 2-3 spots are going to be the hardest to fill and honestly these next 2-3 spots probably define IU’s ceiling next year. 1. starting lineup/6th man is pretty much set to the point of formality. There’s not major minutes or definitive roles left to sell. 2. Lack of current culture/identity. This isn’t Duke or UConn where you can sell your program as a perennial winner with the chance to be a part of a title contending team. How well can this staff sell the 7th or 8th man roles for a virtually unknown team? 3. $$$. I think most of us are realizing that IU’s budget was a lot larger than it was expected to be. But it’s still finite to a degree. Is there enough left in the tank to convince the right guys for points 1-2? Time will tell, eager to see what the staff has in store.

Lindsay going to be hard to keep out of the starting lineup. He’s a secondary ball-handler and a much more proven shooter than either Harris or Mustaf.

I think almost certainly all of them. I’m guessing we overpaid quite a bit for our roster last year if you judge it by what they’ll make this year vs last. I think many we told we’re no longer interested, but I bet the conversation with someone like Dorn was, we’d be interested in bringing you back, but not at the same price point as last year. Feel free to enter the portal and see what kind of offers you get and maybe we can reevaluate after. I think a pay cut at the same school would be a hard thing for most players to accept.

Playing catch up. What a tremendous stretch of commitments. We have a monster class. Exciting times

He is way better at creating off the dribble than Harris and is a legitimate secondary ball handler on the floor next to Burton. Nova had him running PNRs whereas Harris to me is just a shooter rn

There's our combo guard. We clearly have some serious juice right now. Pretty awesome.

Thank you to our deep pocket donors! IU basketball looks like it's going to be fun again!
