Rivals will release its updated '24 and '25 class rankings later this week.  Today they posted who the top 10 in the '24 class are and there's a few familiar names.

Holy crap...

There are seven of that top ten that are uncommitted.

Five of those seven uncommitted players mentioned IU in their top five (or less) schools.

Nice to be in that position but we still gotta seal the deal.  Cautiously optimistic that Woody''s gonna get it done.

An absolute swing for the fences in 2024 with the portal always as a back up. Makes sense. If you want to be a Blueblood, act like one. Finally are actions are matching our words.

Lots of good ones there!!

Let's get it done Woody!! I think we all want to see a sea of red at Lucas Oil for the 2026 Final Four.

In on 5 of the top ten. If we land 2 of them, I'll be extremely happy. Go get them Woody.

Sure, we do, but when was the last time we were in 5 of their top 10? I do believe we have a real shot at 3 of them, Harper, Liam, and Flory. There is no evidence. Just my gut. We shall see.

Definitely in a great spot for Boogie Fland. I agree with the three you listed although, Bidunga, and Harper I feel less good about.

If I tiered my confidence level on the top 10 guys.

1. Boogie, Liam.

2. Bidunga, Harper

3. Asa Newell- feels like we are off here.

4. Tucker. He’s a wild card.

Several other guards I feel good about, mostly Mustaf. Schwarz and Perry to some extent.

Capsule summaries.  Nothing to get hyper over.

To the surprise of no one.

I love these sorts of lists. No themes of any kind. Geography, style of play, coaching, nothing. Just the 8 highest profile offers he got. 

[HoosierFan1994 4,754]

Have things cooled off between Mustaf and IU? Noticed he was 8 on the ITH Hot Board they put out this last week. He was top 5.

Mustaf announcing September 14. IU is in his top 6 along with Maryland, Florida State, NC State, Georgia Tech, and Arkansas. I haven't heard much since his visit in June. Feel like we have a good chance but wouldn't think we are the favorite with Fland and Harper recruitment still going on.

Is it pretty much “top 50 recruits” or the portal?

Any interest from his end? I recall a post saying we were talking with him and wanted a reclass but not sure if interest is mutual. Haven't seen our name mentioned. 

[J34 1,497]

Maybe he'll pay us a visit with his Montverde buddies/teammates in September
