Being in the B12, there is a big chance they could get left out of whatever happens with the B10 and SEC in the future. That + some behind the scenes things like lack of NIL has supposedly been irritating Drew over the past season or two. Feb 6 he said he was hearing Sean Miller and Mick Cronin were the top candidates.

By adding "things can fall apart" at the end, makes it sounds like things are already together..

I have wanted Drew at IU for a long time. He is my 2nd favorite option next to Stevens and he is closer to Stevens IMO than a 3rd candidate is to him.

The rumor originated from Gerry Hamilton at OnTexasFootball.com. Someone on Trilly's chat has a mutual contact that is reaching out to see if they can get more info from him. Essentially what he said is that on 2/14 he heard Drew to IU is basically agreed upon and McCaseland will be going to Baylor. He followed up last Wednesday saying he is still hearing the same. "Hearing" from a coach in Texas. It is a paid site otherwise I'd post the screenshots, but you can go to the site to read them yourselves. FWIW, his previous prediction in that thread was incorrect regarding who he heard Miami was targeting..

If they had space his dad would like that. His goal is to play professionally next year.

You guys having fun in here?

Pretty early in the year to be on the coaching search train but yet here I am. Going to be a long one fellas. edit: and ladies

Just reached out to another CE contact that I rarely go to…nothing new from the trip, but reaffirmed the one reason I said that if he doesn’t commit it’s due to depth at guard..

I think we closed gentlemen (and a lady). This is not from my normal CE contact.. trying to get confirmation.

Staff is really trying hard get him to commit today!!!! I think it happens.

My only reservation is playing time. Will Woody and staff lay out a path for 12-18- 20 minutes per game for him?

Ok, very small additional details on CE. AAU coach is on the visit with him. AAU coach likes that Woody has a relationship with his players (GG did not). AAU coach wants him at IU.

Nothing noteworthy from me on CE yet. Last week I was told that he was contacted by over 60 schools, had narrowed it down to single digits, and was making visits the rest of the month. I was asked to keep that private, but that is obviously already known by everyone this week now. Parents + AAU coach are the only ones really in the know with this and are playing things close to the chest. FWIW, I was told they think he will commit in the area so his parents can make it to more games.... that would include IU, Michigan, ND, Butler.. IU is and always has been #1, but I would imagine playing time might be something to consider and reconsider given the guards we are adding.

Conwell was heavily recruited by Schertz prior to going south. Him transferring to ISU was more him recruiting himself back there than Schertz talking him into coming after his freshman season.
