I sure hope so.... I just saw on HSN that Knecht is visiting along with Ledlum this weekend in Tennessee. Yuk!! https://www.knoxnews.com/story/sports/college/university-of-tennessee/mens-basketball/2023/04/13/tennessee-basketball-chris-ledlum-dalton-knecht-transfer-portal-roster/69497886007/

....Right!? I think it's second to none. I'm obviously biased, but the campus is absolutely stunning.

I wonder just how much the actual age of these coaches really matter/factors in to potential players. Mike Woodson just turned 65, Rick Pitino is 70 and Rick Barnes is 68.

....OMG. It never changes! It's almost their all year attire. The cut off shirts/crop tops are rampant. lol

It's pretty wild just how much the coaches know about potential transfer players before they actually get to the portal. I totally trust Woodson and Co. in regards to recruiting. I'm sure they are feverishly doing their homework on certain player and how they could potentially fit here at IU.

wow.... He plans on visiting Tennessee for a 3 days.... "Ledlum will officially visit Tennessee beginning Thursday evening through Saturday, Andrew Slater of Cerebro reports. Then he’ll visit St. John’s on Sunday."

...this guys has neither....lol!

Yep.....We as fans only see things on the "surface level", but I'm sure our coaches have been kept in the loop through various levels of connections.

A guy like Matthew Cleveland, coming in somewhat late to the portal is pretty impressive. Some teams may be thinking, "Dang it, I'd really rather have that guy!" A player of his caliber could really add to any team. He will definitely get a number of suitors.

Maybe he likes all that NIKE brings to Oregon Athletics..... I know you're a Nike fan, C.,...Not me! lol

......Yep, I'm getting hungry! lol

Depends on who you want to call...lol

.....some people just don't know what they are talking about when they post things about players. I may not always know, but I make sure to research what I'm about to post before I hit.... Submit Reply. lol

El Ellis from Louisville would be intriguing ..... STATS 2022-23 2021-22 GP MIN FG% 3P% FT% REB AST BLK STL PF TO PTS 32 36.0 41.0 31.9 81.0 2.6 4.4 0.1 1.0 1.6 3.8 17.7 32 20.5 39.7 36.0 69.2 1.9 1.6 0.0 0.4 1.5 1.4 8.7

.....ahhhh, Ware's not official till it's officially official! lol

What are we all going to do today if things on this board don't pick up, do actual work at our jobs? lol, lol!!!

If this all pans out….. Thank you Coach Woodson and Co.! …..Oh, and Thank you X for seemingly befriending Mr. Ware.

…hopefully they don’t plan to hire a coaching connection with Ware…

….and that’s a bad thing?lol ….keep the good intel coming, by the way! Thanks so much and have a blessed Easter!

You have to woo potential recruits with all the wonderful food options for various times of the day! Always have to sell, sell, sell and seal the deal!

Jeff Newton was very good, but I always thought he was a bit sluggish at times and lacked explosiveness. JMO

3 years ago my wife and I stayed at the Graduate on Friday before a Saturday home game. We went downstairs for breakfast in the Poindexter Cafe and half the team was down there getting coffee and breakfast. It was so cool. The IU team bus was parked out next to the hotel. I was so curious, I went up to the “Jack and Diane” floor (fancy suites) and roamed around. There was a huge conference room where the team obviously just ate breakfast and had pre game discussions. There was still a basketball sitting on the floor and tables and chairs were all pushed back in one area.

I will have to give it a shot. My oldest daughter swears by the Runcible Spoon for breakfast.

Not all those awards. I said possibly, but my possibly was intended his potential to fill a much needed position left by Trayce. I know I’m putting the cart before the horse, but he and his gifted abilities are going to be huge for any D-1 school. JMO
