Yesterday we heading towards landing both Reneau and Evans. Today Reneau hasn't committed yet so we must be doomed to lose him and every other recruit we want forever. Woe is me!

I think he was originally committed to MSU.

I saw something on social media saying he's #22 on the NCAA all time scoring list. I'm not sure if that's true but good for him, if so. That said. I don't think IU wants him and I'm fine with that for the reasons others have already pointed out

We should know either way in about 2.5 weeks, assuming they want to play next season. May 1 is the cutoff to enter the transfer portal to have immediate eligibility.

While risking a career ending injury that would've taken away that possibility. The downside for him staying in college was greater than the upside. The NIL changes that assessment for some players.

That was a one year thing for this past season only. He would count against the 13 scholarship limit.

https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/33684066/only-21-130-ncaa-fbs-level-schools-say-plans-provide-allowed-academic-bonus-payments-athletes-year IU isn't on that list. A ton of SEC schools are, though.

Nope, sure doesn't. Wishful thinking on his part that he'll get drafted but I think he can have a nice career overseas.

That was not actually the purpose of NIL and free transfers, not even close. The purpose was avoiding lawsuits. However, the outcome will be that the rich get richer.

Seeing how many of the players that Miller recruited (both landed and missed on) have been busts at the D1 level regardless of their rankings shows to me that player evaluation was possibly his biggest issue at the B1G level.

Dodged a bullet with him going elsewhere.

Ya'll got any more of them player news?

He was also recruited by Miller which means there is a good probability he isn't a good fit for the B1G.

Yes, that's disappointing. I was hoping he'd stay and get lots of play. He hurts more than helps.

So they may get punished in about 10 years.

So did Woodson not want to recruit Cupps at one point?

Race Thompson says, "Hello, remember me?"

I do, too.

The NIL deal can't be tied to a player remaining at or going to a specific school. So if they sign a player to a multi-year deal they would have to honor it even if the player quit the team or transferred. Easy to get around, of course, by only agreeing to short term deals with the players currently on the team.

I agree with that. The problem is that I think if Kopp stays he'll continue to start and get lots of minutes. I'd rather he left and removed that temptation for Coach.

I feel relief seeing this. Now there a couple of more players I want to see transfer.

Who did he offer that Woodson didn't want?

That would be a great pick up if we can land him. I remember that IU was recruiting him before. Probably a long shot since IU didn't make his final list, though.
