And 2 years of eligibility.. Very nice. DDV’s vision of how he wants to play is starting to cone into pretty clear focus,

Between watching this and some other stuff, man, his footwork is all over the place. It's like he's been coached by one of those guys who thinks throwing up a couple of hundred sloppy shots a day constitutes "working on his shooting". Get him a proper shooting coach who can teach him to come to balance and his shooting will improve in no time.

Welcome Sir, a pleasure to have you.

The replies are something to see. People are way, way too proud of being complete a$$holes.

Kid looks like he’s boxing. Ok by me.

You have a top shelf wife. Her priorities are in order. Congrats!

Exactly what we’ve been saying around here. Galen and the boys have been lurking.

It kind of felt like that was how that was gonna go. But, hey, someone around here called that “an unexciting offer”, so I guess they don’t need to be bored by that one anymore.

Yup. Gonna be the 1st time since Blackmon that IU will be running out the best shooter on the floor. And he can make those tough contested looks that have defenders shaking their head when they do everything right and a dude just makes one right in their grille.

Unless DDV has an in on this one somehow it feels like a pretty tough pull. But, yeah, a kid coming on like he is with 3 years left would be worth being very aggressive for.

Conerway, easily. 1 of the things I’m putting a lot more stock in this year is the whole chip-on-their-shoulder, “I’m gonna prove everybody wrong and I’m earning every dime of this” element. I fell totally in love with Wilkerson about 3 weeks ago watching an interview in which he was nice and respectful and clearly a good kid, but he had this tone in his voice and look in his eye that said, “I”m gonna make everyone who doubts me eat $hit.” Conerway’s got that and then some. That kid wants to stick his finger in everybody’s eye. You want to build culture? Build it with kids like that.

Every coach thinks they’re the guy who can pull it all together for a kid.

Per Sam Kaiser at 247 IU has reached out to Mizzou 7 footer Peyton Marshall. Former top 50 recruit. Didn’t play a ton last year and his motor runs hot and cold, but he’s a big kid with very good hands and feet and 3 years of eligibility.

He’s not gonna beat good guys cold off his bounce, he doesn’t have that kind of 1st step, but he’s really strong and physical. If you run, say, a zoom action with him where he’s getting the ball on the move he can keep a defender on his hip and finish through contact.

In fairness, Woody would have done the same if the Wilkerson’s live on the 18th at Penble Beach.

Hunter won a Heisman, so sure. But Sanders?

https://atozsports.com/nashville/volunteers/nico-iamaleava-tennessee-volunteers-football-unprecedented-exit-nil-holdout-family-drama-josh-heupel-dan-lanning/ Don’t know how much of this is accurate, and the writer clearly needed a better editor, but if it’s even mostly true who’s gonna touch this kid?

Per Rothstein IU is among many, many schools that have reached out to ASU SG Adam Miller. Didn’t like him much at Illinois though haven’t watched much ASU BB the last couple of years.

Interesting stat from his profile: almost 7 boards a game as a wing. If DeVries really wants to play a perimeter oriented lineup that would be a nice little addition.

See, I can absolutely see that. Pope’s a really likable guy with a great offense and an almost complete roster. He can just throw on cut ups of Koby Brea and say, “Dude this is you.” And UK’s UK. No matter how much he might like IU and DDV there’s still a lot of faith required here. But, it’s a bunch of money and a bunch of minutes and a bunch of shots and that’s not nothin’. So I’m cautiously optimistic.

Yeah we are, but I’ll say this: I find it hard to believe, but If the rumored difference in NIL is true, combined with the fact the kid would walk into AH with 30 mins and 15 shots a night no questions asked and he punts on that to go to UK that would mean, 1) the kid’s 1st priority is winning. and 2) there was nothing DDV could do about it. Not only would I not be mad at the kid, I would respect him leaving that kind of money on the table to hunt a Natty enormously.

Per Jack Pilgrim, who’s a UK beat writer, Wilkerson cancelled his Auburn visit and is deciding between IU and UK. But he didn’t suggest that it’s done with UK.

Is Mullins generally more highly regarded by the UConn folks than Adams?

Eric was on the fence with Branham and I just gave him a little nudge. Ok, maybe that’s not quire how that went.

Well, if he paid for his food before he took off that would be a nice change.
