Pharrell Payne to Maryland. (In case this is still a place to talk about transfer portal targets)

Missed on Dix and Conwell. Elyjah Freeman is probably our next target. No interest reported in Pack at this point, but who knows.

Close to home wins out on this one clearly. Seems like if Creighton could field an offer anywhere close to IU, they would be the choice.

Yep

Heard that for 3 days now, lol.

We really need to get Josh Dix commit. People are flying off the handle because we only announced one assistant coach so far tonight. Lol

Might give each their own Twitter post and story.

Hopefully this means we got everybody locked in and are slow rolling out all of them tonight.

I saw a similar tweet, but the opposite. That Illinois upped their offer, and IU was now out. Lol. Nobody seems to know anything.

McKneely to Louisville. They must be playing with 2 balls in Louisville. Guessing Kelsey does indeed have unlimited money this year.

He's also selfish, and by all accounts isn't engaged unless the ball is in his hands. Don't think he's the kinda guy IU needs right now.

You should post this in the Transfer Portal w/ IU interest thread. You will get more traction. RTZ apparently said no Dix, for whatever that's worth.

Dix to IU confirmed. /s .... kinda.

Dix is better than Goode as he is more athletic, has the potential to play better defense, and can drive to get buckets and put pressure on the defense. Dix would be a great get, but if he chooses Illinois, I'm sure we have other targets we think can provide something similar. But I'd really like Dix after missing on Conwell.

He was on campus a couple days ago.

The longer it goes the better I feel. Still feel it's like 70/30 in favor of Illinois (based on almost nothing)

Seems like most are saying Illinois. Hoping they are wrong, but probably not. Although if it was done, it feels like it would have been announced by now.

Who do we hope is on the phone?

Tucker DeVries now official.

Gwath back to SDSU. Pretty surprising. Kentucky was after him.

Idk if it matters in this case. But another reason we should have cut Woodson loose last year. It was already getting bad at the end of last year, and then they come out and look like absolute garbage right out of the gate which just fanned the flames, eventually leading to the total shitshow that was the Illinois game. It all would have been avoided if we had done what 90% of people knew had to be done. Woodson was never going to win here and was 66 years old. (And there is obviously no excuse for those fringe ******* fans who DM players... they are scum) Still a ton of talent in the portal. Hopefully we can go get a few of them.

Time to up the offer for Dix.

Oof. Losing Conwell hurts.

We need 10 more bodies in here minimum. Getting a PG who has been in his system is a good add. Besides, we need a guy to pass the ball to Conwell, Dix, and DeVries. (Hopefully at least 1 of those 2 come here). Also, the boy wonder wanted him. That's gotta count for something.

I think so. His ceiling appears to be the sweet 16, and he's only made it once in the last 12 years. He's a solid coach, I just think he is what he is at this point. He will win a decent number of games and maybe make the 2nd weekend every once in a while. (Which is obviously much better than IU has done recently). But I think the ceiling is higher with DeVries. Just my opinion though.
