My gut, and possible intel (not Rabby), says Ledlum will be wearing the candy stripes next season while playing for IU. Not willing to guarantee it (yet)

Yes, specifically speaking about Ware. Not a typical reserved Rabby response I thought

#1 transfer portal player Kel'el Ware is in Bloomington and will begin his official visit today at noon and it will continue through tomorrow. He will be visiting with Ledlum. Coach Ya leading the charge on this one and has done a "tremendous job" and "Indiana has a legit shot here" per insiders.

IU is still going after him and trying to get him on campus, but until hat happens I'd say he's a no.

Mentioned the zoom and that "IU is very much in the running for this one"

Quiet from those who have intel to share.

I follow 3 boards, all 3 are so eerily quiet this morning. Maybe it’s typical and I'm just hyper focused due to the timing. Regardless, just seems weird.

Is that because you think it went poorly or what does this quietness mean?

Zoom with Love began about 45 minutes ago, give or take. Interesting to see what kind of reports we hear after it.

Are these real sources or fake sources? Has someone kept track of your predictions from those sources? Inquiring minds want to know, but be careful, others may call you out for being fake!

I like to close my eyes and envision a starting lineup of X, Love, Timberlake, Reneau, Shedrick Or even X, Love, Ledlum, Reneau, Shedrick

Both. But if I had to pick one, I'd say Love is my pick.

I think it'll be a different type of offense. More movement. More screens. Less throw the ball to the block and work from there. There will be space. Coach Hunter also made that same comment on his twitter spaces interview the other day, that the offense will look different this year.

Then there are these comments from Caleb Love's dad in the IndyStar: "He wants to win," Dennis Love, Caleb's father, told IndyStar. "So, he wants to be on a team that plays in a manner that is open, right — not having a clogged lane. Being able to take advantage of his playmaking skills. A situation that allows him to show his skillset. He also wants to be in a situation, where he can be taught, man, improve his efficiency. "He wants to be coached. He really wants to be coached and really have someone help him get better. And then he obviously wants to be in a situation that allows him to achieve his ultimate dream, his goal — to get to the league." Sounds like Coach Woodson to me

Eric Bossi suggesting the Timberlake/UNC visit did not go as well as many had hoped in UNC country. If he sets up more visits, UNC (the perceived favorite) might be in trouble. Something to keep an eye on. Here is the quote from Bossi: "However, Timberlake has yet to commit and there are rumbles of some concern out of Tar Heel land. Timberlake has yet to lock in any other visits for next week, but Kansas and Indiana have been rumored as potential spots and they’re among others like St. John’s and UCLA working to get him on campus. If Timberlake does indeed lock in visits, then it might be time for UNC to start making moves on other targets."

To follow up, Rabby just sh** all over this guy and called him an idiot. Guess he does not agree with this post

This is why getting out of the Crossroads Classic was a great move by IU. Butler is falling apart and ND just fired their HC after a terrible season.

He's listed 6'7" and I'd say more athletic than Watford was but probably not as good in the post as Watford. But I'd agree, Watford was the ideal stretch 4 but think of him trying to guard Murry from Iowa. That is what the 4 is going to look like more often than not I think.

Without ideal height? What is the ideal height for a stretch 4 in your opinion?

IU will be contacting him as well, or already has

Staff had a zoom with him, want to get him on campus.

One thing he needs to be aware of is them baiting him into offensive foul calls while backing in the smaller guys. Refs love those and they will set him up to get some quick calls against him.
