100%. I know the staff will push hard for a commitment too. Imagine if they get both. Frontcourt will be set. Then IU can go all in on a guard/wing.

I'll repeat what I said last night for him..sign me up. Sounds like he probably could get drafted if he wanted to this year in June. Instead, he wants to come back to school to improve. Have to think TJD improving his stock stood out to this kid!

I feel comfortable with our frontcourt going into next year. Sounds like the staff is really going to push for Ledlum to commit this weekend which is what Chris and Rabby have said. Feels like they are in good shape to land a 5 (Ware/Shedrick/Handlogten). All that's left is a guard/wing. Knecht would be a nice get. I don't know how things stand with Timberlake but he didn't commit to UNC on/after his visit. Just can't stress how important it is for this program to keep going forward and to not take a step back. Can't afford to have a 2013-2014 like season with the '24 and '25 classes coming up.

Nellie's. Actually in Newburgh. I don't think there are any high schoolers IU is looking at here.

I wonder if Woodson was recruiting in the Evansville area today. Friends of mine met him at a breakfast place. He was apparently wanting to play golf at Victoria.

Wherever he goes, I applaud him for wanting to stay in college. ESPN has him at #35 on their draft boards. Most freshmen jump at that and leave.

When Chris and Rabby are saying the same thing..good things happen.

I think Durr was in May.

Not sure how much I'm able to say about Peegs (I only did it for just this month) but I don't think we will. It's silent over there outside random people.

Per Rick Bozich...Coach Knight has been hospitalized since last Friday. A letter went out to former players to pray for coach. They hope he is home soon.

I do applaud the staff so far. I feel like they're going all in the transfer portal. Sounds like Adam Howard has been getting a ton of credit for their organization and knowing who to contact and when. Now, they gotta land these guys. But if they can get a few more of the top transfers in addition to Sparks (Love, Shedrick, Battle or Ledlum) this team can compete. I have no idea where it would stand in the National Landscape but they'd be top 4 in the B1G easily.

What's Gates going to say..."You are the missing piece to us beating Princeton". Nothing against him, I just think IU would be a really good fit for him. I'd like to see IU go after a true 3. I think Battle/Ledlum are 4's.

If it's really between IU and Mizzou, I see the only reason to choose Mizzou is that it's closer to home. I don't think they could beat IU in NIL.

He probably called him Corey Love..lol I kid. We will see what happens

Breaking: per Rabjohns, Woodson had the cat filter on the Zoom with Caleb Love. We've now lost Caleb. This will go down in IU recruitment lore with Crean/Kyrie Irving.

I think I agree with you. It sounds as if it's between IU and Mizzou. Sounds like he won't be visiting any campus which makes sense.

LOL is he going to Augusta?

Let's get this done Woody! I'm not sure Caleb would even visit campus since he's been here before..Again, as I've said sign me up. IU needs upside and you need dudes. I think Caleb is the kind of player IU has lacked.

Saw this on Twitter. Dude who wrote it has been a journalist for 15 years and lists North Carolina basketball as a passion. Maybe he's in the know...Could be nothing. ..could be something. Could be just a headline click bait. Close to me tells me IU is 1st and Goal at the 5 yard line. https://www.basketballinsiders.com/news/former-unc-five-star-recruit-caleb-love-close-to-joining-indiana-hoosiers/

A X/Love backcourt is good enough to win the B1G. Add in Ledlum to go with Reneau and maybe Shedrick. Would like to see them add another wing.

Sorry, but sign me up for an Xavier Johnson/Caleb Love backcourt. IF it does happen. I think these are the kind of guys that IU/ the Big Ten has been lacking.

I think he's hinting at Love..we will see. I'll believe it when I see it. Ledlum wouldn't make sense with a visit next week.

Sounds the staff does too. Again, I'm all happy they're getting really good frontcourt players (Malik, Sparks, possibly Ledlum and Shedrick). However, they need a guard/wing. I think multiple ones. Unless Jalen is coming back which is really truly insane for him to do. I'll say this..if Galloway/Cupps are the two guards off the bench I think we will have a pretty good team. It makes sense to really stock up on frontcourt guys. Just Malik was coming back. Banks..ehh we will see what he becomes.

Thing I find most insane about the portal..the kids who were highly ranked like Bates or even top 100 guys like Duncomb/Geronimo are leaving. Meanwhile guys who weren't highly ranked out of high school are coming in and most likely upgrades. I know Sparks. Ledlum was a borderline top 100 guy. Battle wasn't. Makes me wonder..who ranks the rankers? I think a big reason has to be the spring of 2020 there was no evaluation period and that screwed things up. Feels like there have been more misses than ever. There isn't a single top 30 recruit in the Final Four. I tease my father in law (UK Fan) to pump the breaks on their recruiting class...rankings mean nothing anymore IMO.

Got it. Wonder if it's a race to who commits first. Not sure if I have a preference.
