Would think with this post a commitment SOMEWHERE is imminent at this point.

Definitely need more depth. We will have two good BIGS but need another 4/5 and a wing to help. Plus a couple guards unless we think our freshman can contribute which I'm all in favor of if they are ready.

I don't think it was the double big lineup but how it was being used. You see it works with UM and plenty of other teams. Woodson never assembled a team that worked together that was the biggest issue with his lineups/teams.

Would have liked to have him too but if it indicates we are getting Sherrell, can't blame Rancik for not wanting to be a back up.

Yep I read it was Thursday.

Since I took an hour off the site yesterday and missed the big commit I fully expected that in 8 hours of sleep I would have missed alot more. Disappointing this mornign for sure LOL On an aside looks like Lettice went MIA after his cooked X post. He has not posted in days.

I left 5 pages ago and come back to a C commit I didn’t know we were in on (wasn’t he visiting MSU?). Can’t leave for an hour to work apparently LOL

Feel pretty good about Carr's evaluations honestly. Way better than who they were targeting last season. Carr seems to be earning his money and the staff is doing work to close on these guys by getting them in the door (or zoom). We seem to be heading in a good direction.

Agreed. Cannot run out of time waiting. If Sherrell wants to shop, then let him shop. We may not get 'better' but we can get better than what we had last season and move forward with more for possibly less if we have to. At some point, he will run out of options to shop for more money.

Kind of feels that way doesn't it? Hopefully we continue to pursue others so if Duke comes in with a larger or equal offer we aren't left holding the bag.

Good news

Playing time and dollars will be there for him. He wants to be the guy and I think if we get Sherrell that will push him in another direction although both could co-exist here just fine IMO and get plenty of minutes.

I took a break and thought I’d read thru 4 pages to find another commitment. LAME lol

But can we beat Northwestern LOL

Maybe mark cuban made another donation for the cause lol

Great portal day! Can we go 4/4?

If Sherrell is insisting on playing the 4 where do we go for Center? Read Acimovic is in the portal.

Was just coming to post this. I know he was one we were supposed to zoom with.

No doom here just trying to be realistic. If Sherrell is just chasing a bag, we may be the choice. If he wants to get to the league, he may want to go to MSU since Izzo can sell that. Izzo is an excellent recruiter so I never like to underestimate him. There's still Duke that could offer a bag to get him. We got him on campus and gave him our best shot $$ and pitch. Hopefully it's enough. I do think we need to move on the next plans or we will end up with Reed Bailey 2.0 again if we wait too long for an answer.

I think you move to plan B/C/D while he's visiting MSU so you are not behind the 8 ball if he chooses them. Most of what i have seen on X is that if MSU comes close he will choose them. Could just be chatter though won't know until we know.

Some are already off the board. I see your point too. I think we all know what is needed and just hope it’s being delivered. The waiting is hard lol we are all just anxious to have something good to celebrate from portal season.

Yes this is me for sure. We just haven’t seen our name out there for many and I think that’s where the worry comes in given we ended up with Bailey and Alexis (who battled his @ss off) last season. Gotta hope Carr knows what we need and is getting us hooked in to some others we haven’t heard about yet.

I think it’s probably because every guard that is reported in the portal IU name is listed but a BIG goes in and we don’t seem to be listed. Can’t blame anyone for being a little skeptical given their portal picks last season in that position. CDD has acknowledged he made mistakes. Hopefully they are in on guys we haven’t heard about yet or are making some overseas connections.

2 of 4 would still be a win. I hope the staff and Carr have ins with other bigs and wings that are athletic and under the radar guys. If Sherrell doesn’t pan out we need to shift to plans B, C, D, and E which I hope we are still in contact with anyway. Can’t blame Harris if he decides to stay at home and play.

I’m personally pretty skeptical we land Sherrell. Hope I’m wrong though.
