Let's put it this way if Cooper Flagg put on the Indiana Mad Ants uniform would his brand be as valuable than him playing for Duke. No it is because he is wearing the Duke uniform

Of course it is better when you are winning but as long as you are winning it doesn't matter the name of the player. Say you take the top 150 players out of college basketball and the top level of players are mid major players. If those players put the UK uniform on and wins the fans will buy the product.

I am saying no matter who is wearing those uniforms it will sell because fans have been buying it for years. The individual players aren't why people are buying the product or going to games. I have been a fan of IU for 50 years and players have come and gone but IU is still there.

To watch those teams and not the individuals. The same amount and people would have watched it even without Cooper Flagg

I don't think any college athlete is worth all of this money because the name of the University is what sales and not individual players. To me taking in account that they were getting $50,000 a year through scholarships was plenty of money for them to receive. I just really hate where college sports are today and it is making it harder to even enjoy the spirit any longer. I will accept it because I have watched sports all night of my life and don't have anything else to occupy my free time.

I think I responded to the wrong post on this one.

I disagree because the name in the front of the jersey is what sells in college sports. It doesn't matter who is on the team as long as they are winning for fan bases to buy the product or go to games.

UK will be a top 5 team next year if they Wilkerson

That is a pay site

I think if I had to guess it will be Wilkerson picking UK but hope I am wrong I hope we can get Conerway to commit soon

I thought Donovan was looking at horse farms around Bloomington

He is a UCONN grad

Just watched the Aaron Torres podcast about Wilkerson and he thinks he will pick UK but mainly reading tea leaves. He kept saying it was good for UK that he cancelled the other visits right after the UK visit. He also thinks he picks UK because he would be the final piece to a great roster

Shooting percentage wasn't great but he would be a very good PG. 38/35/73

Their reporter said he is going home to discuss it with his family

I guess either fan base in the Wilkerson recruitment can be optimistic. The UK fans think it will be them because he just cancelled the rest of his visits after the UK visit. The IU fans think it is us because we are offering more money and that.he has more playing time available. Also we can see that he did a video after our visit and not after the UK visit at least yet.

The plot thickens

Does anyone know who else is recruiting Conerway and when he might make a decision

Yes, just thought of that and was going to come post that.

I didn't hear everything that DD said but he had heard that the fit wasn't great with Wilkerson. I have no idea what that actually.means, is it personality or attitude or something else

I figured he got sick having to shovel the horse **** from the race track.

Even if Goode gets another year which is not a given I don't think he will be a starter. I would love to have him and Eright be the top bench players
