4* DT. He committed per his IG. Big time get. He had a ton of offers.

https://www.crimsonquarry.com/2025/5/12/24427549/im-gonna-show-em-tayton-conerways-drive-brings-him-to-indiana-mens-basketball Nice little background piece on Conerway. Explains some of why when you watch him play the giant chip in his shoulder is so glaring. Easy kid to root for.

#269 composite overall player. #32 ranked DE nationally. Picked IU over Tennessee, ND, Texas A&M. Big time get! https://247sports.com/player/gabriel-hill-46145763/

Appears that Woody left some of his beard dye in the office so Jeremy Gray could play biologist and campus cop.

Some posters can be quite confusing on a regular basis.

IU just offered Thompson

Yeah. I could visit for 4 months and get totally immersed in the culture and language. That would beat the 4 days we were there. Vraiment.

Trent has been named MVP of this year's Montverde team. That's a heckuva honor for this young man.

Rabby says a name to know is 6'10" PF Cameron Williams from Phoenix, AZ. Currently ranked 30th by 247 but might make a jump. Thin (only 190 lb) but long and graceful. Good rebounder and shot blocker. Has range on offense. https://247sports.com/player/cameron-williams-46142153/

OV to IU June 13-14.

This recruitment’s got my spidey sense going. Going over to KC for EYBL Friday and Saturday and this kid is one of my priorities. Team Takeover plays at 4 on Friday. Will probably be the 1st game I watch.

They are top tier and marketing this ****

Love love Versailles too. That is one of those 'famous' tourist sites that more than lives up to the hype. A nice train ride from downtown Paris, a ten minute walk, and it's spectacular. Especially in May with the gardens full on. Enjoy HH!!

We already clinched the win for this season but added some icing to the cake at the B1G outdoor track and field championship. It came down to the 4x400 relay for both Cup points but IU sweeps the points in Outdoor Track and Field winning 29 to the Boilermakers 22 on the Men's side and 12 to Purdue's 11 on the Women's side. Final Cup standings: Indiana 13, Purdue 7.

Yup. This is my guy. Feels like above all others he’s gonna be the straw that stirs the drink.

A few more Paris pics, what a city

Raby reports Drew and KJ watched Arafan Diane (Iowa United -3SSB). Listed at 6'11" and 280 lbs. Of note, he was extended an offer by WVU while DDV was still head coach. In this game he scored 23 pts and was 2-3 on 3s. 247 His stats from the April AAU event.

Taking an official 6/17-18, per Rabby.

IU has offered 6'8" PF Trey Thompson from Tennessee. Purdue has been on him for a while and may be the team to beat but he seems open to other schools and is still planning on visiting other places. Says he wants to visit IU. 247 Here's a nice highlight:

That’s all I’ve got, assuming one of the two waivers got approved

We’ll know beforehand if he’s getting drafted because he’s not staying in without a promise. Personally, I think there’s a pretty decent chance he does. He measured and tested pretty well and that stroke is that stroke. I imagine he’ll do ok in team workouts and if he has a really good one with someone and follows it up by interviewing decently and has answers to some of the knucklehead stuff someone will see that as a swing worth taking.

Back in Paris 2 decades after first trip here. This city is so freaking amazing, so much to do, so alive, old, new, and beautiful

The fantastic son I am, I took my mom to Mother Bears on the west side for her 76th birthday last night. Around 7:30 in the evening, I looked up and Coach DDV, Rod Clark, and DDV daughter all walked in. After our dinner, we walked over to say welcome to Bloomington and told coach it was my mom's birthday and that she had spent 42 years working at the University. Super nice people, were so gracious, felt like we could have talked for an hour. My brother, who wasn't sold on the hire, has now met him, plus heard a couple of other stories has changed his tune.
