If we don't get any of the 3 then there needs to be some difficult questions.

This is pretty much what im thinking. Wilkes would have commited by now if he was sold on us, and I don't see Preston coming here

A couple of weeks ago it was all in the bag that he was going to Kentucky according to some. Lol. Welcome to following recruiting closely. If he commits to iu tomorrow great and if he doesn't wish him luck and move on or at least that's what I will do

Albers take on Waters.

Tremont Waters sets announcement for Wednesday — it won’t be Kentucky

Tremont Waters, a 2017 point guard from New Haven, Conn., will announce his college decision at 4 p.m. Wednesday. Waters, who stands 5-foot-11 and is the No. 37 player in the 2017 class, is an incredibly important recruit for Indiana, which is seeking its point guard of the future.

There are technically 7 schools on Waters’ list — Duke, Kentucky, Indiana, UConn, Georgetown, Kansas and Yale — but the list of real possibilities is shorter than that.

A source close to the Waters recruitment told me that Kentucky “has been out of it for weeks” and will not be Waters’ choice on Wednesday, despite the fact that UK coach John Calipari visited Waters three times, according to his father.

Waters’ father said the list had been narrowed down to four schools but declined to specify. My educated guess is those four are Indiana, Kansas, Georgetown and UCONN.

As of Tuesday afternoon, 247 Sports’ Crystal Ball gave Indiana an 80% chance to land the four-star Waters. Kentucky was in second, but their percentage dropped steadily after I tweeted that UK was out of the running.

Your guess is as good as mine on this one, I’m not even going to offer a prediction. I’ll say Indiana, Georgetown or Kansas, in that order. But I do think it’s a little bit closer than the Crystal Ball would suggest.

Indiana assistant coach Chuck Martin has headed Indiana’s recruitment of Waters because of his ties to the East Coast. Indiana prioritized Waters over Indianapolis native Paul Scruggs long ago, so Wednesday’s announcement is a big one for Tom Crean and the Hoosiers.

Which difficult discussions should there be and to whom? Funny how Waters visits G'town late and unscheduled and CB turns that way. Wilkes shows up in Bloomington and it means nothing accept to those who have an agenda.

The difficult discussion is why did we pay 750 thousand for 2 projects and a 4 star

[HoosierRob 1,042]

I hate recruiting.

[goonaha 2,972]

I would be more upset missing out on Wilkes than Waters. I think we could survive next season with a senior Newkirk at point, with RoJo, Cujo, and Green all capable of playing that position as well. Focus on a 2018 stud PG, i.e. Darius Garland.

Because Wilkes didn't set an imminent decision date after that unscheduled visit and Waters did. Pretty simple really.

For the alarmist it's simple. For others, practical. Keep trying to get in that 18 year olds head- it may work at some point.

How dialed in on the recruiting budget are you to put a specific number on it? And does it end in November or does the April signing period count?

[indy317219 97]

Let's stay on point and not play detective, maybe? None of us know much of anything so when someone indicates it's time to panic, I would tend to push back until data indicates it's time to do so.

i can't find the latest figures. But that's 2 years old. Their recruiting budget doesn't require inside information btw. 

[IUsince1980 315]

By midnight the CB will tell us all we need to know lol

Let's keep this civil regardless. PG is not our highest priority. We have 4 guards on the roster who played PG in high school.

Now for 18? That's another story.

We will survive this miss if it turns out that way. At least we won't have to worry about having a 5'10" PGs.

The bigger concern, I suppose is that we prioritized Waters overs Scruggs.
Then again, Scruggs is an academic concern, so........

So your budget numbers are final according to this but neglects to consider any signings prior to the 2017-2018 season?
