Excited to see the commitment, but the young man is on the small side - seeing 5'7", 5'8" or so...scares me with some some of the bigger B1G receivers.

So, Borzello really likes our class.  

Larry to Texas also 

I guess he will get plenty of practice going up again McCulley every day in practice.

FCS All-American CB Cedarius Doss will be on the roster for the 2024 season.

Man a lot of folks would be way happier people if they didn’t watch sports 

Gets in tonight, meat of the trip is tomorrow, leaves Tuesday 

You are free to exit any rollercoaster you want to get off.  

When Hickmans visit ends he is scheduled to visit Cincy tomorrow.  Just my opinion but I think he makes that visit and by Wednesday he commits to 1 of the 2 

The Fire thread is there for your pleasure 24/7.  Some people enjoy reading about players with IU interest and that's reality.  

If Ballo commits I don’t expect Williams will.  

Just wanted to add a comment on the bag dropping.
Id recommend the fanbase not villainize the bag dropping from Indiana but instead be happy we can win bag drops now. 
its been going on for eternity in college basketball and for the most part those dropping the biggest bags are winning the most games. 
I can pretty much assure you if we stop dropping bags the fanbase will have a lot more to worry about than we already do.
id recommend embracing it and just leaving it out of the equation. It’s been a part of high level recruiting forever and now it just expands into mid level recruiting as well. 
Be happy we can compete in that for now and cross your fingers the staff uses its salary cap wisely. 

Last offseason, I think woody was being loyal to Galloway, X and Gunn.  He didn’t want to recruit over them.   This offseason, if he wants to keep coaching here, he has to recruit over everyone.  Just my opinion, but seems like a 180 philosophy.  
 
when woody took the job, I really think he honored the Indiana kids and the current roster at the time.  As an alumni from the program, he looked at them as one of his own and honored them.  
 
but now I really think he’s realized he just has to recruit the best kids every year.   
 
just my $0.02.  I know a lot of fans wanted him gone, but objectively, he earned this offseason.  His seat is on the line now. 

And another early 7-0 deficit. The offseason evaluation of the pitching program is a must with the inconsistency. 

I keep coming back here with the hope that one of these guys have made it official, but nothing yet.

Most intriguing portal targets Indiana isn’t targeting strongly.

1) Wade Taylor (this years Caleb Love)
2). Javon Small (I think he’s better than the guards we prioritized)
3). Jordan Pope (In the mix. I like him quite a bit)
4.) Aaron Bradshaw (Klutch gonna Klutch. This years Ware?)
5.) Jalen Blackmon. Love the family. Kid can flat out shoot. I very curious to see how he stacks up at the next level.
6) Johnuel Davis (Does Michigan get him and Goldin? McNeely? Dusty gonna be a pest
7). Frankie Fidler- He ain’t Dalton Knecht, or is he? Nah.

Assembly Call had a great take on this the other day. Ballo played with Tubelis 2 years ago (6’10 240 lbs) who had almost identical shooting numbers to Reneau. They essentially played two traditional bigs with 3 dynamic guards only one of which shot above 40% from 3. They had a top 5 KenPom offense.
Ballo is not a high usage player. He’s not somebody who takes 15 shots a game that you force feed every possession. He’s great in PnR lob action and a garbage man on the offensive boards. Get the ball up to the rim and he’s going to get it.

Pretty much where I'm at

Payne looks much leaner in this picture.  

I'm interested to see what staff does with Payne considering Ballo is visiting after him. Have to think Ballo is ahead of him as a priority. 

J.P Pegues officially has committed to Auburn (which we assumed he would), clearing away what was supposed to be our main competition for Rice.  Have to assume this one is in the books.

Ballo seems to be built more for a B1G center position than Payne, but I would take either or both.
