HoosierFan1994

Feeling from what I've read on their timelines, it's possible two weeks from now Boogie and Liam will be Hoosiers.

Someone may have said this, but if IU lands both Liam and Boggie it will be hard for Derik Queen to say no.. have to think it would be Houston. No way would he choose Maryland.

I think we will know more after their final high school season. Supposedly '24 is a down class (some think it was the class most impacted by Covid.) If that is the case, I think these guys might be 2-3 year players. I know some of you don't agree with that. It's just too early to tell I think. Selfishly want them to be here for a few years.... dreaming of a Boogie, Cupps, Liam, Malik, and Queen Final Four team in 2026.

Do you think Liam is waiting to announce on ESPN? Also, feels like Boogie knows he is going to be the top guard here and that wouldn't be the case at UK.

Peegs and Inside the Hall reporting they are also going to see Liam/Queen as well.

It's been said by Rabby and others in the know, but it sounds like IU is selling Boogie to be the man here and UK is selling him to be #2. If that is the case, I have to think IU wins this one. Pretty awesome to be the favorite for two 5 star talents. Have to close though...Nothing against Queen as I want him too but Liam/Boogie are 1A/1B to me. One thing I like about this...UK says it's between IU and UK and Alabama says it's between Bama and IU...one common theme there.

It was from Peegs version of our Chris. The guy shares pretty good info so it is reliable.

Frustrated IU-Purdue is on Peacock.

One thing I have heard is how if UK really wants him, that's probably where he ends up. However, they aren't all in on him. Wonder if they are more interested in the 2025 player that could reclass?

No sorry. They said on Monday or Tuesday that Bill Self was likely to visit this week (it appears it happened last night). So this isn't a surprise. I see IU fans on X freaking out...Boogie just named us in his top 3, heavy heavy favorite for Liam, and in good shape for Queen. Do people not understand that this is how it goes for 5 star recruits? It isn't easy at all. Staff is doing a great job. Just need to close which I think they will.

I don't understand the meltdown. Peegs reported that this was going to happen on Monday or Tuesday. Which is why I was confused Trilly and others said it was going to be IU, but they obviously know something good. I don't like Bill Self being around either, but it is what it is.

Thanks for sharing this. I somehow missed it. Can't wait for this season. Lot of questions marks but I trust this staff. Lot of talent on this roster. If all the pieces fit, this could be a top ten caliber team.

If Jasper will reclassify to 2024, that helps with Boogie. The one thing I've read is Kentucky isn't all in on Boogie, which makes no sense. I guess he is option 2 for them. Hope he at least waits until after Hoosier Hysteria.

Part of me wondered if that is why they got him. He will probably be the biggest recruit there so why not get who he likes. In Woodson I trust with the last visit. Worked out pretty well for us with Ware, Mgbako, and Liam (I assume?).

If he still is planning on taking a visit to IU they have a chance to be the last one. Article made it seem like a decision around Halloween was in play. If that's the case, maybe Hoosier Hysteria? Hope he likes Gucci Mane.

The positive news in the last 24 hours with Liam and Boogie just about make up for my Cowboys laying an egg in Arizona. Hope we can finish this!

The Almanac came out this morning. I think it's a must for all big college basketball fans. I don't always agree with everything on it. However, they have previews for every team, conference picks, and rankings for the top players, transfer, freshman, etc. They are high on Mackenzie. They have him as the #3 Freshman to watch this year. Overall they aren't as high on IU, like the rest of the media. They have them as a 9 seed.

I know some of you don't like them, but the Hysterics are about to have a live space on Twitter (or X) about Liam. Sometimes they have really good info. I won't be able to listen live but I will later.

You are probably right. I've followed IU recruiting pretty closely since Crean took over. I can't remember them being in on this many legit players this close to the end of their recruitments: Liam (top 15) Queen (top 15) Boogie (top 20) Annor (top 30) Givens (Top 60) I think Liam will make his decision soon (I'll be stunned if it's not IU to be honest). Queen will probably be sometime next month closer to the season. Boggie IU will probably have to wait that one out. Not sure on Annor but I know he is visiting soon so it's possible he makes a decision before the season. Real exciting time! My guess for fun: IU Lands Liam, Queen, and eventually Boogie.

Correct me if I'm wrong because I wasn't as invested in the '23 class...but our staff didn't put this much effort in last year did they? Not until Mackenzie. I remember that being a huge talking point a year ago. Sounds like it's been addressed.

Have to think a decision is coming soon for Liam. Obviously love our chances here. Best part is when he commits I think it not only increases the chances with Queen but Boogie as well.

How I've felt since June. If Liam is the first one you have to think IU becomes the favorite with Queen. One thing we can all trust this staff with, we know they are going full court press on a commitment this weekend. I see Liam as a 2-3 year guy and Queen as a 3-4 year player. Both are two of your major building blocks to becoming a National Title Contender.

Major major weekend for the future of IU hoops. Sounds like IU is certainly the favorite for Liam. Would be surprised if he commits after the visit. Sounds like he wants to take the Texas visit and announce right before the season. I know the staff will do all they can to get him this weekend. The sooner he commits, the better I feel about Queen. Sounds like IU is up there with Houston and Maryland for him. Houston actually worries me a little more than Maryland in that battle. Not sure about Givens. Wonder if he is just there to visit with his teammates. I know he had IU in his top 7. He's certainly a take but obviously the #1 option is Fland who is likely to visit. The thing I'm most happy about is this staff's ability to get guys to campus. Offers are great. Visiting them at their school/home is great. But, you have to get them on campus. I saw a stat where this '24 class is by far the most top 50 visits IU has had pretty much ever in the rankings era. I feel you HAVE to at least get 2-3 of these guys. Liam is a start. Potentially add Queen with another guard in this class and you have to feel good. Hope guys like Banks/Gunn/Reneau can take a huge step forward and become a nice veteran core with this group next year.

Early on might be a struggle with playing UConn, possibly Texas, Auburn, and Kansas. However, I think by January this team will look good.

I've said the same thing as you. I think Malik, Mack, and Kel'el will work. The staff wouldn't have put them together if they didn't feel it wouldn't work.
