IF is the operative word here.

 

Van Zyl did tweet on Monday that he had "great conversations" with Cincinnati and Vanderbilt.  I don't doubt at this point that there has been contact between these schools and Van Zyl.  We haven't heard anything in terms of offers, so who knows.

Vandy, Cincy, Indiana, and UCLA for those who can’t see it.

And it sounds like the schools have big interest....worthy of 20 point font.

It seems like a kid like that would go to UCLA.

Seems like UCLA's decision to pay recruits under the table in krugerrands finally may pay off.

My thoughts on this kid, without commenting on his ability or our need, is he may be in a situation that causes more investigation by the NCAA about his eligibility. This coukd cause one of those late passesto be allowed to play.

Do you think bumper stickers may be involved??? Golly, let's hope not!

If it's something minor like taking fake classes or getting paid, he'll be fine.

 Lol: Looks like he's narrowed it down to 1) Going straight to the NBA, or 2) seeing if the new coaches at Vandy, St. John's, UCLA, or Cinci have room.

Does anyone know if we are part of the campus visit equation?

And...I'm guessing his hope would be to get picked up as an undrafted free agent, seeing as the draft is tonight haha. I'm starting to wonder if this kid is even real...another Ivan Renko.

He just got officially offered by the Hoosiers!!!

Blessed to receive an offer from Indiana University!  #GoHoosiers

Archie's our coach and I respect his opinion and judgment but this one just doesn't feel right.  Can't cite anything specific just a sense that he won't be a good fit he he accepts the offer.   Wherever he goes, I think he's going to view it as nothing more than a stepping stone and what will his true level of commitment be to the program vs. commitment to his own stats.  Just an old man's ramblings.

Is there speculation that he's saying he's getting these offers as a way to stir up attention?

[MoyeNeeded 3,073]

CoachSS (Sam Story) saying on another site that IU has not offered this kid fwiw.

Haven’t seen any of the scouting services talk about it yet and not much being said about it in the Twitter college basketball world at least not by people I follow. Usually if there is an offer my timeline is filled with people retweeting and talking about it.

Quite honestly, I hope the offer is nothing but a rumor and if it originated from Van Zyl himself then I'm definitely not interested.

Here is where it originated. I can’t imagine he would post this without an offer from IU.
