IUc2016

I might be more jealous of that than his upcoming million dollar salary.  Lol

That’s a good sign.

Other site saying Payne is trending to IU, I know he just visited but anyone else hearing that?
Has been quiet on that front given the Ballo rumors.

I guess Woody ain't cooking so much.  Been all day and zero, zilch, nada, word of the big guy's commitment.  
 
 
 
That should do it for you guys.  He's a lock to commit tonight.  :)   

I haven't seen higher than 6 million mentioned from anyone with credibility. Not saying it isn't true, but there is a reason IU has a chance to land the top portal class along with paying MR, MM, and TG. The NIL money is prob top 3.
Edit: Trilly has backed up this amount and Rabby has continuously stated IU will not get outbid by anyone for a player it truly wants.

He's a recruit, he just asked out of his NLI so he can follow Cal to Arkansas.
Not in the transfer portal

I had just heard he had access to “at least” $6m. Basically we refuse to be outbid if we really want someone.
 

Between Edey leaving, new schools joining, and all the transfer portal turnover (especially with the Pac 12 being raided more or less) I am hopeful we see the start of a new play style trend in the B10. Conference will certainly look very different next year. 

If a program is willing paying 6 mil I would hold out on filling the last scholly until you are able to see all the kids that enter the portal.  If there is a player the staff wants that late no way money would be a problem for one of the top spenders in this day and age.

I know we were top 10 last year at 4 so we have to be close to top 5 at 6 million

If he’s 100% he won’t just compete for minutes, he’ll get’em. But, speaking as probably the #1 Newton fan who’s not a family member, it’s tough to roster build based on that assumption. 

Well.. Myles Rice did and was FOY. :)

I know this is the way of things now but I really hate not getting to see a player grow and get to know them anymore.  I hope Gabe sticks around.

Wow. A lifetime ago, indeed.

I just remember him going down with an injury when Iowa played IU in Bloomington. That feels like another lifetime ago.
I thought it was the Romeo year, but after looking up CJ's stats it must have been TJD's freshman season.

I did a quick check and some Cincy sites have him penciled in on the 24-25 scholarship numbers lol. With his injury history, I doubt he's a big factor, but I think he's part of the equation.
