Obviously every kid can get stronger, but this one’s got the body of a 25 year old man.

Another rivals pick from Trevor Gersmehl

I think the teams that can stack as many guys ranked between 20-40 have a great chance of success. Top 20s don’t always stick around long and outside of top 40 don’t always contribute a ton right away. UNC, Virginia and Villanova types

Indeed. Hopefully CMW and staff can continue to recruit excellent HS and collegiate players at a high level.

So we legit wanna get brice and noah? Wow what a class

It would be fabulous. I can easily see 7 guys moving on after this season, so a class of 5 freshman makes sense.

CMW seems to have a really good handle on what he wants. This coming year may be the worst team he puts on the floor and, right now, it looks pretty good. The next class is shaping up to be very good. What he has done in such a short period of time is incredible. I love his demeanor and the way he relates to the kids. If he can't restore IU to greatness, then it can't be done. I loved him as a player and I love him even more as a coach.

I love the optimism. I was actually thinking IU would have a pretty good year this year, maybe 24 wins and a tiny bit of success in the tourney and then take a step back next year before hockey sticking back up.

we could easily lose our top 5 players, at least 4 out of 5. That’s a ton to lose

Yeah, Trayce isn’t really replaceable IMO. Everyone else is. Bates in year 2, Geronimo in year 3 should be a solid start. I’m worried about the 4 and 5 for next year. Durr, Duncomb, Banks will be options, but no one with give us TJD stability imo.

I get what you are saying, but this class is starting to look really good. And coach knows how to work the portal to fill in the gaps. I think CMW is a guy who sees two or three years down the road. His NBA experience has taught him how to use the tools available to him. I don't doubt his ability to coach at this level. If he was successful at the top level of basketball, then he can figure out college basketball. I know it's still early and we have been burned before, but this guy gets it. Good times are ahead in my opinion.

Gonna have to attract a stellar player who is looking to make some money and play with great guards.  We need Trayce to have a big year and get drafted highly.

Or just get a good NIL package together for TJD and convince him to stay for a fourth year and cement his legacy as an all time IU great. He'll have the stats for it, just needs to make a tournament run now and win a Big Ten championship.

Peegs just put a crystal ball pick in for Jalen to IU, only a 6 confidence, but a pick nonetheless

Peegs doesn't often put in any pick at all. In four years he has put in a total of 15 picks. His success rate? 15 for 15. And he usually picks with a confidence level of 6 or 7.

All signs looking quite good.

[Hoosierfanyuh 2,148]

Volnation is so stuck on us “promising him to start” its annoying because that probably wasnt a thing. Lol. Glad JHS is going to (hopefully) be with us.

Rob Cassidy of Rivals  - 

Jalen Hood-Schifino

 is set to announce his decision on Aug. 24, and the speculation has begun. Officially, the four-star guard has narrowed his list to include Indiana, Florida, Tennessee, Memphis and Texas. Unofficially, however, there are only a couple of real threats to land his pledge when he shares it with the world.

Texas and Florida have both appeared to be out of the question for some time, and reports that Hood-Schifino has officially narrowed his list to include just Tennessee and Indiana hit Twitter on Tuesday.

Whatever the case, Indiana and Tennessee have looked like the only real options since the talented prospect first narrowed his list. With roughly a week until Hood-Schifino is set to make the call, confidence in Bloomington seems to be growing, while it has begun to wane a bit in Knoxville. The Vols certainly aren’t out of the running here, but they seem like the only real threat to steal the Rivals150 prospect away from Mike Woodson and company.

Still, It’s recruiting. There are no real “locks,” and nothing is ever set in stone until pen meets paper. But I’d feel reasonably OK if I were a Hoosiers fan.
