Trilly Gif for Aiden Sherrell

Rancik scheduled on campus starting Thursday according to rabjohns

Branham crystal ball for Sherrell

Aiden Sherrell’s brothers (his agent) last 4 followers on Instagram are Ryan Carr, Markus Burton, Jaeden Mustaf, and Samet Yigitoglu fwiw

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

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

I see now that we can't argue about player quality, we are now arguing about who gets the most credit for the quality players we are getting. At least its a change of pace.

Reminder:

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

IU just had 2 commitments where nobody had any idea they were even a possibility for IU at the time. Doesn’t seem like this staffs style to leak news to anyone regarding their roster plans for next year. I wouldn’t worry about what others are writing about the staffs intentions.

Seems to me people are getting a little anxious over some poor stylistic choices in Rabby's writing lol. IMO "The heart of the Indiana basketball roster is set" is not supposed to be insight. Reads more like a fluffy lede to me. The follow up tweet just reinforcing that the freshmen don't add post depth so the portal will "remain under consideration" as in we'll continue evaluating options, including possibly Euros. I don't see Ryan Carr adding dead weight like Ristic or Andrej to the roster. Doubt they're taking a break for milk and cookies.

So rumors I’ve heard in the last hour is Hall and Gavin Sykes visiting maybe this weekend.

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.

Watching The Turkish Towers highlights. From his frosh to soph year a nice jump. He keeps it simple. A surprisingly good feel for the game. He knows how to set up early, get behind his man and drive him up the lane for position. Soft baby hook with the right. The counter back to the left looks slow and deliberate. He runs the floor well for 7'2 270. He tries to jam everything. Has some nasty to him. Good day in the portal. It's what we deserve.

Tomorrow

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

That is a Ryan Carr thing.

Carr works for DeVries. DeVries has final say in roster construction. That was reported when he was hired

Everyone agrees DDV should've been able to come in and assemble a staff quicker for the most part. Fact is, not being fully staffed likely explains most of why we assembled the lackluster roster that we did. Looks like he has owned his mistakes, not made excuses, and set out to correct them. For that, we can all be thankful.

pretty logical stuff when you look at the rest of the roster. I don't think he/anyone would need inside info to throw poop at a wall here and get that right.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Given the huge amount of money spent on the roster, which will be near $20M, we should be thinking Sweet 16. That's not unreasonable. Everybody in this program is getting paid a lot, from coaches to players. Time to earn it and win.

Yeah, they aren't done looking. They moved swiftly and bagged the priority guys and can now step back, take in the whole roster without the "if" hanging on to their vision, and put finishing touches on the team as they see fit. Plus getting 6 P4 signings in a week where you're competing with other big market players had to be exhausting. Mental gymnastics morning to night; I'm sure they need a break. They do in fact deserve their milk and cookies.

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.

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

Good morning my friends. Today the talking heads of the internet are all going to have to eat a big giant bag of D"s. We're shaking up the world of college basketball. Because we deserve this. We've been through hell for too long. We've fought amongst ourselves We've tolerated administrative malfeasance, we've been tortured by stupidity. C'mon Aiden. Bring it all together. Preferably before me dentist appointment.

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

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

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

You could also make an argument that the real success will be in the middle 3-4 or so guys. We probably know roughly what we're getting out of Burton, Sherrill and Yugi, but the difference between 5-8 in conference vs top 3-4 in conference is probably how well Mustaf, Harris and Lindsay or maybe Sisley perform.

Ruptured Rafters is floundering. They even have a thread called "Whiff Watch".

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
