Best frosh class ever, definitely reason to see at least a couple of them playing good minutes, these are really talented incoming players

Where he can get PT…

Sports law. Thanks NCAA

It’s still April, the Wang visit shows staff is continuing to look to add depth, don’t know who else they’re evaluating right now but based on where things are expect a depth big and possibly a wing. Worth remembering we already have a stud 2027 PG committed for that season and the current 2026 portal class has good continuing eligibility so roster building at least is well under way

Cha ching!

I had those too -- the old guy with the chair, lol

Yeah we haven't seen Zoe play yet, looking forward (no pun intended) to seeing what she brings.

Yeah, seems like crickets. Any further rumors / news on Wang or otherwise on visits?

Everybody Wong Chung tonight

Not a joke but another pop up add here: I'm now getting the "For Men Over 50 Who Haven't Exercised in Years" pop up. Really?? Lol Here it is:

Z is absolutely go to if she’s healthy but that’s the big if

34% on average

Personally I like Wang for depth, we’re not getting another starter power 5 player, he’s depth and one who can hit free throws at 75% and pull a big out as he hits at 34% from the arc, it’s a solid insurance move imo and more importantly I get to sing the wang Chung song when he hits the floor

75% from the stripe and he can step out some, 34% from the arc? Yes please

Future Hoosiers

No that’s wrong. He joined with 0 assistants. The early worry - correctly - was that he had no assistants and he started behind. People expressed worry because we had 0 recruits- he started slow with no assistants. Then he landed those guys and people, myself included, thought he did well to land them. That is freaking situational. My point, again, is no one thought getting mid major players was the model — of course it wasn’t- if you’re actually arguing otherwise put down the crack pipe.

Revisionist cuts both ways -- everyone, clearly everyone, knew he came in with no staff and had to scramble. Many of us, myself included, liked that he was able to get experienced guys who excelled as mid-major players, but none of us thought that was the model he'd be following -- we thought he did well under the circumstances, and that making the tourney was realistic (and yeah, he just missed it). And if you're saying otherwise, give me a break.

Despite the roster?? lol all of those teams always have at least a solid roster, none of them even remotely had our situation last season. And none of thought last season’s roster was the model, it was what could be thrown together. This season’s roster is already light years better and it’s not done

TBD — was thinking she might be actually be the starting point given her exp but lots of time in the portal and thinking staff are still searching

Announcer: “Wang Chung to Yaak Yaak” yeah, can’t wait!

It’s not her O it’s her D, USC’s defensive centerpiece, doubt 7-8th, seems more likely she’s the backup point

Proof will be in the pudding for the last spots but it's at least clear the staff did target the key guys they got. Lots of time left to select players from the portal for remaining spots now that it's known who is in. We're all impatient, but there's no need to rush here.

The “IU social media industry” including Rabby has no clue who IU is currently shooting for, there’s really no basis on which to form an opinion at this point, other than what staff has actually done, which speaks for itself, pretty strongly

^^ 5'6" doesn't address getting bigger but experienced tough defending guard who can either play off the bench or start at times sounds like a good add -- Have to get a kick out of this from the first link: • Had a four steal performance against Indiana and this Samuels is the Trojans’ defensive engine: a 5’6 ball of energy who wreaks havoc the moment she checks in. She’s racked up 36 total steals in 23 games this season after posting 33 in 35 games all of last year and just 13 in 23 games as a freshman.
