That didn't take long to come to fruition!

Not many guys who play at that level can say they have had 5 coaches in 5 years.... Would not be a fit for IU but I am curious how he will do being that he was so highly ranked... Could end up going overseas instead of transferring.

VJ King leaving UofL.... former 5 Star and McDonalds AA.... But been a disappointing 3 years for him.... Will he be highly sought after?

Should have been an easy Vote but it apparently wasn't.... Kudos for Fred though still.

Yes, in 2018 the NCAA ruled that Coaches can no longer block any transfer. Conferences however still can do specific things, so the BIG could still have those rules in place (I am not sure).

Coaches have no say any more though right... It is a Class 2 Violation if a Coach tries to stop a transfer. Only Conferences can now set any rules on transferring inter-conference.

Not really DeVonte specific but in general all these guys that are declaring and there seems to be WAY more than past years who are in this same situation in which they are really not NBA Draft prospects as of now.... What is the benefit? Specifically, what do they get to do? Only a select few are invited to the combine correct? What about individual workouts for NBA Teams? Can they all do that? (Assuming an NBA team wants to work them out) What about interviews? I keep hearing they will get perspective on what to improve on etc, but from whom? Are NBA Scouts talking with them? NBA Coaches? NBA GMs? I don't begrudge a guy for exploring all the options of their DREAM job... I am just curious on what all these guys get to do in the process before coming back to college?

Wait? We offered him a Scholarship to stay? I mean I get it that playing time isn't going to increase, so for him I see why he would make the move.... but why would we offer him a scholarship to stay?

Yes come back if not drafted, however if they hire an agent they can't then go through the workouts etc, get the information that they may be a late 2nd round pick and decide to come back at that point. Once they hire an agent they have to go through the full draft process and draft. If through all of that they don't get drafted at all then they can decide to come back.

I am sure they finish the semester (at least most of them)... however I bet there are a few perks to being an IU Basketball player when it comes to parties.... even more so than "former IU basketball player".

Are classes ongoing right now in Bloomington? Heard some interesting take on Romeo yesterday... I have ALWAYS said he is 99.9% gone... my opinion with whatever facts/rumors/info I have... but just to pass along... This person told me Romeo is much more undecided than I would have thought, and to the point that he actually wants to come back for another year. But I was told his parents due to previously explained financial reasons (and maybe other reasons too) want him to go ahead and turn pro. From what was said to me he has been home at some point this week (or maybe still) and those conversations with his parents are going on and they have begun to soften and let him choose his own path.... As I said this would be a SHOCK to me and I don't see it happening.... but could this possible.. this person is a relatively new source so I am not sure how connected he may or may not be....

Just to verify... pUKe is Kentucky not Duke correct? To me they both leave the same taste in my mouth afterwards. Changed? I didn't see a prior pick so I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something?

IU 72 Shockers 63 On to MSG

Got you on Gonzaga... However you can not use Houston.. You have already used them. (Sunday 3/24)

I am going to try to play it "safe" as last year we only had 1 person pick 1 game correctly in the Sweet 16... I will take #1 Virginia on Thursday 3/28 & #1 UNC on Friday 3/29
