    Maybe her keeps entering the portal waiting for that it IU or PU scholarship offer which will never come.

    For the money they're getting, there will always be people who know basketball and are willing to put in the work. Good luck to him or other coaches on finding similar income. Especially with less work. I don't know what Wes Miller's background is like, but I'm going to guess his family was pretty well off.

    2023-2024 IUBB Schedule

    Yep. The priorities of the committee seem to shift every year. I've seen interviews with committee members done years where they explicitly stated that the number of wins was a large factor and other years where they placed more emphasis on SOS. Best bet is to to find a nice balance between the two where the team can get plenty of wins with a decent SOS.

    So they have to work hard and all year to make millions of dollars per year? I don't feel sorry for him.

    IUBB Recruit Rankings

    Sisley is very good though, despite his ranking.

    (2023)/(2024) - (C) Somto Cyril to Kentucky

    A thin center ranked in the 40s I wouldn't expect to have a huge impact in year 1. A thin center ranked in the 40s of his original class who then reclassifies up a year I definitely wouldn't expect a huge impact in year 1. A year ago he was a 5* and has dropped quite a bit. Will probably be good in time but I doubt it next year. Maybe after he transfers to play for a coach who can actually develop players and not the snake oil salesman at UK.

    A few years ago, there was a proposed rule change that would allow undrafted players to retain NCAA eligibility. I don't think it's been voted on yet and didn't pass if they did. That's probably what people are talking about.

    He's a 6th year player who has started all 45 games he's played at IU. The injury was a broken bone so there is no reason to think he won't recover completely, especially almost a year after the injury occurred. His competition is a freshman who, while a 4* recruit, was not in the top 100 and is more of a pass first type player. If I was a betting man, I'd put big money on Johnson starting. I think Cupps will give IU some quality backup minutes this year but he'd have to drastically outperform Johnson to take his starting spot. He also needs to add weight even though he's already strong.

    IU Basketball News and Notes

    Apparently they were the only team willing to give TJD a 1 year contract rather than a two-way contract. https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/columnists/gregg-doyel/2023/06/23/iu-star-trayce-jackson-davis-said-no-to-pacers-not-other-way-around/70348734007/?fbclid=IwAR1Tfjl-yyuN2wQPcZ4l7H3Hl9KuYSYMXvRZNdLUxQopCJ5hwWlOXc4qdYc

    Didn't Miller recruit him?

    TJD taken with the 57th pick by the Wizards. He's have been better off going undrafted than be picked by that team. Edit: check that. He's going to Golden State. That might be a good spot for him.

    IU Basketball News and Notes

    JHS picked 17th by the Lakers.
  15. Did he take a junior year OV to IU or just a bunch of UV for games? I know he's been on campus multiple times. I'm glad the coaching staff isn't like some of the fans and just give up as soon as Fine shows interest. :)

    He's also not afraid to play dirty if it looks like he's getting beat.

    I wouldn't worry about it at all.

    Who fills the last scholarship?

    Basically just says what we already knew that IU reached out to Johnson but also talks about his play style. https://hoosierillustrated.com/indiana-basketball-among-programs-that-reached-out-to-kansas-decommit-chris-johnson/?fbclid=IwAR0eBrg1t39dOSP5-d7RwKG3PGClaNj9uNsYGPQilbsnX61iZS6DtZQgUDo

    Who fills the last scholarship?

    That plus the fact that most schools require people to take a certain number of credits at their institution before they can graduate from there. This number is usually around 60 credit hours (4 semester of full time). He has only been at UK for 1 year.

    Pick Your 5

    Those 5 are my ideal but totally unrealistic recruiting class as well. On paper, that would be IU's best recruiting class ever. Possibly the best ever period with 5 top 10 players. Duke and UK have pulled off some amazing classes but I don't know if they've ever landed 1/2 of the top 10 in a single class.

    I've transferred credits before and you don't need the old school to send anything. You get a copy of your transcript and give it to the new school. The new school might then need to check if the classes are the same or close enough to what they offer but a lot of that info they already know and/or the system is automated because most classes were approved quickly. I very much doubt that UK is refusing to give out the information needed for ISU to decide whether or not the transfer credits count.

    He's been in school for 4 years so next year he'll be 22-23 years old. Apparently he doesn't want to babysit a bunch of 18-19 year olds.
