Does anyone recall when Barttorkvik updates their rankings? It will be interesting where we land. Have to think we're trending towards a top 25 metric ranking after our transfer haul recruiting class is completed.

Seems like we're on commitment watch at any moment.

The way the team is taking shape, Rancik would be a depth piece. He's likely wanting substantial minutes.

I think his commitment is imminent.

I wouldn't expect that to happen. He's a Michigan man now.

I understand. I’ve always appreciated multi-year players. But last year, was there anyone truly worth investing in long-term? We needed a reset. Wilkerson stands out, but he was out of eligibility.

Carr is good. Lets continue to have him do the evaluations

Often, schools seek a commitment before a player leaves campus, which gives an advantage to the programs scheduled earlier in the visit process. Mgbako’s recruitment is a strong example—he had a visit to Louisville planned after ours but canceled it after committing. Similarly, Ware had SEC visits lined up but chose not to take them following his official visit with us. However, If Burton makes it to Bloomington without committing to CKS then that would probably be a good sign for Devries.

Sampson has coached a ton of great guards. From Hollis Price, to Eric Gordon and LJ Cryer. Hell, he coached Earl Calloway to a really good year in our 06-07 season. He can point to a number of successes.

Hope we get Burton but there are also other schools involved too.

The irony of it all, is we had our own Brad Stevens.

I understand. Year 2 is going to be pivotal for DeVries.

I knew people would start saying this. We have no earthly idea if DeVries hired the wrong guy. Let’s circle back to this after 5 years. If there was ever a time for McCollum to make noise it would be now. His two best players in Stirtz and Banks (who have been in his system a long time) are both gone after this year

Whoaaa, let’s get a participation trophy for beating the eventual national champion lmao. That’s even more of an indictment that we couldn’t make the tournament and lost 16 games. Keep digging
