They’ll get a Ballo/Ware impact transfer from the portal. Not fair to put that burden on Reibe, who isn’t close to a one and done. Plenty skilled but needs two years to physically mature.

IU will almost assuredly pursue a portal big regardless of what Reibe decides to do.

If Rice and/or Carlyle are gone (to the pros) it’s because each had an exceptional year and IU had a great season because of it. Makes IU an even more attractive portal destination than it already is.

Grand scheme of things…no. Stinks because Woody really wanted him and invested a lot of personal time.

I know your thoughts on Sisley. I like Sisley. Haralson committing to ND has NOTHING to do with Sisley.

Can’t imagine ND has a big NIL bb budget to begin with and what NIL they are paying ( Burton) is probably available once JH hits campus

Truth is what? He picked ND. The sun will come up tomorrow I promise. I’ll gladly roll with a recruiting class of Mullins/Sisley/Reibe on top of our returnees. Will be another highly ranked team to start the 25 season.

No, it’s obvious you sat on your hands waiting to b****. It’s par for the course with you.

Doubtful unless Shrews gets hired elsewhere, but this is the precise reason he’s going to Notre Dame, to be the BMOC from day 1 with little resistance.

Saw it plenty of times with Knight too. Sun always came up the next day.

Make sure to bring the same energy when Mullins and Reibe commit. Missed you during Sisley’s commitment.

How does that help him long term? Haralson is no doubt a piece, and a big one at that, but he’s a rental and needs help around him.

And is Shrews really about to let what should be a very good 4 year player walk for a year of Haralson?

Notre Dame won’t outbid IU for Haralson.

Agreed. Just needed to call out said hogwash.

Why on Earth would Woodson spend 4 years recruiting Haralson if he was never going to play with Sisley and vice versa? Woodson has spent more personal time with Haralson than any other recruit to date. No chance Woodson lets Sisley commit if that was actually the case. To insinuate Sisley and Haralson was a “whoever commits first” type of recruitment is laughable.

It’s certainly plausible but not sure why Cassidy would feel obligated to remove information that he feels is accurate at the request of the family? It’s his job to break stuff like this. I think it’s more than likely that Cassidy’s source came back and said he got inaccurate information and that’s why it was removed.

If you got the money, spend it. The optics of losing two high profile in-state guys (who you were in on long before anyone else) is worse than overpaying. Can overpay for Mullins and Haralson and still get a top portal big and potentially a PG if Rice leaves.

His dads a cop.

Haralson is a plug and play type prospect who meshes in a variety of lineups. I wouldn't get too caught up in his position. He can facilitate offense in the half court just as much as he can slash/drive from the perimeter.

I don't see Cignetti leaving IU after 1 year unless it's for a program that has legitimate means and resources to contend for a national championship nearly every single year. The only job likely to be open that remotely offers that is the Florida job. If Florida wants Cignetti there's likely nothing Dolson can do. But that's if Florida wants Cignetti. I'd think a lot of people would have to say no before Cignetti ever gets a call and Florida isn't really a job you say no to. On paper it's one of, if not the top job in college football. The board of regents have already met at Florida to work out Napier's $26 million buyout 3 weeks into the season, they aren't going to buyout Billy Napier just to hire Curt Cignetti.

Not sure it helps or hurts other than it means we don’t have to wait another month for him to make a decision. This has felt like a two team race for awhile now; IU and Michigan State. Notre Dame and evidently Purdue still in the running.

Had an SC buddy (and alum) text our group "IU has reportedly offered $2mil and a guarantee starting spot for Lewis" in the last week. No clue on the veracity of the source and I'm not sure he knows either. Doesn't seem like that jives with anything Cignetti has displayed so far but that seems to be the rumor SC fans are running with. SC has lost several commits this recruiting cycle citing lack of NIL funds.
