Interesting theory running around the interwebs that he is a Woody flip...

Imagine the reaction of the 5 Purdoo faithful.

I find it interesting that he capitalized the word “OUR”

I mean, he’s really good. Can score that thang. I can dig it.

It was originally tweeted by IU a few weeks ago so he didn’t actually type that part. The part I really think is interesting given the recent rumors is that it was posted the day after the game in West Lafayette. 
 

That would be throwing some serious shade if they are true.

Top 50ish ‘24 C Peyton Marshall, who IU watched but didn’t offer because, like the rest of the world, they probably considered him a lock to Auburn, commits to Auburn.

'24 Peyton Marshall back on the market.

Top 50ish CG Labaron Philon de-commits from Auburn as well. Something going on there. Rosemond watched Philon a couple of times last summer. Kid can really score it. He’s playing for Team Thad with ‘25 Jasper Johnson, who has IU interest, this summer.

Maybe they are hearing that Auburn is going to rely on the portal a lot, thus diminishing their role upon arrival..

Inside the Hall's list of '24s IU is believed to be recruiting.

https://www.insidethehall.com/2024-indiana-basketball-recruiting-board/

A name on this list that does not hold an IU offer is 6'10" Patrick Ngongba who attends Paul VI Catholic in Chantilly, VA, and plays AAU for Team Takeover on the EYBL circuit and therefore an AAU teammate of Caleb Williams.

Quick list of '24 offers whose names do not appear on this list.

• Boogie Fland
• Dylan Harper
• Gicarri Harris
• William Jobe
• Derrion Reid
• Khani Rooths
• Dennis Scott III

Nothing is going very well for Kanon Catchings currently. 

So talented, but in AAU play his shooting has been terrible and he's gotten multiple technical fouls.

Very talented, and his numbers this weekend were a little skewed by a really bad night from deep on Friday. He compensated by driving the ball a lot, which was actually pretty impressive. Other than that he shot it fine. What I’d be curious to know from someone with knowledge of him is: Is he selfish or just immature? After having seen him a few times now, he’s got a consistent habit where if he goes 3 or 4 possessions a little uninvolved, his body language goes a certain way and you just KNOW that the next trip he’s gonna find the ball and it’s going up. He also gets pretty visibly annoyed if he gets missed for an open look. Hopefully he’s just young.

I’m guessing this will be sent to recruits

Good lord I don't miss Archie Miller.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 80,874]

Great list, but still have to seal the deal.  Go get'em Woody.

Good lord that’s a lot of major talent coming to see Bloomington. Considering Woody is an excellent closer, this is looking special.

And some 4/5 star freshmen to Sparks, 5th year Gallo, Gunn, Cupps, etc…?

I wonder if any of the guards we are recruiting for 24 are thinking about reclassify for the 24 class like the UNC kid did today 

[Hardwood83 4,471]

So what is the dream class for '24? Fland, Perry, McNeely, Newell and Bidunga sounds good to me! 

Tyler Betsey, 6'7" 3pt shooting specialist, sounds very intriguing too.

Jaden Mustaf.

May be a replica of Jakai Newton's skill set, but a big time player with real interest in IU.
