Define winning right now. Does it mean competing for a National Championship next year? S16? Comfortably in the tournament? Better than .500 in conference? I think most expect IU to better than recent years next year. Upper half of the B1G and comfortably in the tournament in year 1.

I know where he's ranked now. I don't know when he reached that ranking. Hence the question which you didn't answer in any way. His offer list doesn't look like that of someone who's been highly ranked for a while. It looks like someone who somewhat recently became ranked. That's why I'm asking.

That looks like a reasonable list for someone with his ranking. Much better than his previous list, which is kind of puzzling. Is he a late bloomer who recently shot up the rankings? Anyone know?

Maybe Reneau to Auburn would help IU's chances of getting Bazinga.

The last line - he should take his own advice.

I'm especially happy to see Kenya Hunter, Brian Walsh, and Clif Marshall go. Between the 3 of them, that's 24 years of experience in those losing cultures.

You still have said why you're accusing him of being a money-grubber. He decommitted from Iowa after Fran was fired. That's both common and understandable. You do realize that he's currently a high school senior and not actually in the portal, right? He looks like a mid-major player so nothing wrong with committing to a school like Iowa which might also be able to pay more. Sure, IF he enters the portal every year that would likely hurt him. That's a big if based on your opinion which you haven't backed up. Anyways, I'm done. You don't like him, got it. I don't know that you need to be disparaging a kid that hasn't even finished HS yet by saying he's just a chasing a bag without backing that up.

Dez Briscoe? What makes you say the last part? A 3* committing to Iowa doesn't say chasing a bag to me.

It sounds like that might be a possibility. Rabby thinks it'll be a battle for him between some big schools. The UL 247 guy seems to think it's mostly between IU and UL with Texas still a possibility but implies that he thinks IU might be the team to beat.

No. Dix has played 3 full seasons so this will be his last season barring a serious early season injury. DeVries has played 4 seasons but last year was only 8 games due to his injury. This upcoming year will be his medical waiver year for last.

Pass all day, every day. I was glad IU passed on him in HS and want him even less now that he's shown to be even more unimpressive than expected.

Leaving this thread open doesn't hurt anything. The actual mods will lock it if there is a reason to. Just don't open it if you don't like it. Problem solved.

Speaking of Yep, here's an interview with him. I thought they would do a story on him because it is a good story. From walk-on to NCAA champion. https://swimswam.com/from-walk-on-157-to-ncaa-champ-148-jassen-yep-reflects-on-swimming-journey-at-indiana/ Roster limits are an unfortunate unintended consequence of the House ruling. Ironic considering Grant House was a swimmer. Edit: They did end up doing a story on Yep. https://swimswam.com/detailing-indiana-senior-jassen-yeps-road-from-walk-on-to-ncaa-individual-champion/

Here's a good article about senior Finn Brooks and the IU culture. https://swimswam.com/in-breakout-season-finn-brooks-is-continuing-indianas-dirty-double-legacy/ The women land a solid transfer from USC. https://swimswam.com/ncaa-qualifier-macky-hodges-announces-she-will-transfer-to-indiana/

UL 247 right now is saying that IU is all in on Conwell and expects it'll be between IU and UL for him. Sounds like they don't think he'll follow Miller to Texas. They don't come out and say it but the wording and tone make it sound like he think's IU has the edge.

Those guys speak well to DeVries' ability to find/evaluate talent.

The men had a great meet and finished 3rd, 12 points from 2nd place and 31 from 1st. They set multiple school and conference records as well as an American record. They swept the diving events. Highest finish in some time. They have some really great swimmers and divers returning but are graduating a lot. They'll have to reload.

You need to do that all in the url bar of your browser. Then it'll have twitter as part of it already when you past in this site. Also, when I do it I leave the https:// there the second time so it's part of the link which gets pasted. Otherwise this site might paste it as plain text instead of a link.

You say this for pretty much everything. You must be surprised IU has any coaches or players because why would anyone come to IU from somewhere else?

That seems to depend on if Frazier comes to IU or not.

Those guys look like they're actually having fun, Woodson doesn't seem like a fun guy. Does Woodson has a sense a humor? He comes off as having the sense of humor of a fungi.

Rabby says he's been hearing Auburn rumors for about a week.

Some coaches even made it clear before the transfer portal that scholarships were 1 year commitments on the school's part. Crean's time at IU comes to mind. We even named pushing someone to transfer to get another player after him. So if the schools have performance based loyalty, it makes sense that players would have financially based loyalty.

I don't see Dallas James on that list. Our secret weapon.
