Didn't someone say maybe Leal goes off scholly (since he gets discounted tution due to parents working at IU)?

If this was suggested I can't possibly imagine it had any merit. I've seen it come up in past years as well...probably the Crean years. The thought of any player or parents of a player saying yeah sure I'll start paying tuition so you can use my son's scholarship that he earned on another player so they won't have to pay tuition....I just can't ever see that happening. Nor should it ever happen.

I was thinking maybe since the kid is a senior at his school, he’s using his transfer as the free covid year thing which means it wouldn’t count against our scholarship numbers anyways....kinda like keeping Brunk and how he wouldn’t have counted against our numbers. Could be wrong though, not 100% sure on that. 

For the scholarship not to count you have to stay at your current school.  I am pretty sure since Brunk left he counts towards OSU 13 scholarships.

Gotcha, yeah that makes sense. I guess he would have indeed been a different scenario for us since it would have been staying at same school.

Would feel a bit icky if someone was “persuaded” to leave but I’m drooling over the skills and potential here.

There aren't the same recruiting rules with NAIA. NAIA players also don't have to enter the portal. It's a different set of rules and NAIA schools take advantage of this loophole all the time in every sport. It's nothing to feel icky about.

I think he means if someone was persuaded to leave IU so this kid could come in

That would make more sense. I don't want to see anyone forced out but I would love to see a kid like this on the team. I still don't think anyone else will be added but it is interesting to talk about.

Yeah I will let it all play out before I judge. I can still see someone else leaving here soon when they realize there just won't be enough minutes for them. That's not really forcing someone out, it is just one of those "it worked itself out" type of scenarios.

It could be a fake rumor but there is a new rumor that Hunter is headed to the portal before to long.

Not finding much about why Onu wasn't getting offers out of high school, but did find this article.

-- didn't start playing basketball until he was 14.

-- sounds like a late bloomer even by those standards

-- ran track in high school, putting up a 57.49 in the 400.....pretty darn good for a kid that was almost 7 foot.

Yeah that’s what I meant. I was trying to be circumspect but I guess I went too far lol.

I thought if anyone leaves it would be Hunter

He was my guess as well. I'm not sure he can defend or do anything except get hot from 3 occasionally. That said we'll see what happens. It might just be another rumor

Sad how injuries may have derailed him. He was so promising coming out of HS.

Oh please! Looks like the Greak Freak a little.

I'd love to have someone with that size in the post, but I do wonder why a person with that size ended up at NAIA of they had any real skill.

He's at the convenience mart by the stadium at least once a day if anyone wants to ask him. I've spoken to him there at least 4 times. Good kid, usually buying an energy drink or something like that. Everyone lives in Evolve next door. I'm heading to the golf course, and if Brunk slows me down today, then we're having problems since he's not a Hoosier any longer.

Obviously, it’s great if he brings a developed offensive game. But given the roster, I would love to have him if he brings a defensive presence at the rim. If he’s what Tariq Owens was at TTU, he’s an easy yes.
