Let’s start thinking fallback options…. Lol

 

Anyway, Bama is a very attractive basketball situation for a player like Ware. They will sell Clowney and seem to be willing to match going rate NIL and above.  If Bama is the next stop that is. Although Arkansas also offers a lot apparently, as seen through recruiting results.  
 

DeLoach is next up.  ;).

DeLoach is probably 4th after Ware(top 2 with a legit chance to land), Shedrick (still in contact) and the kid from Marshall (still in contact)

Yeah, apparently scouting reports love the Marshall kid and think he’s a blossoming star.  Maybe we can jump in there.

Lol transfer portal giveth and taketh away. We shall see. I was guarded with this one but some “insider” smoke still has me optimistic.

Bidding wars don’t historically work out well for Indiana, evidence A’plenty.

But true 5 options of starter quality are and will be dwindling. So it’s crunch time.

We do need to get this locked down. You don't have to get the best, but you better get a good one.

So there it is. No commitment today. 
 
Kind of embarrassing that our insiders get so excited about a recruit's visit going well that they convince fans a commitment is imminent. 
I don't know. I wasn't swayed one way or the other.

I'd rather be the school that may have received a Verbal than the school trying to sway that recruit's mind in 36 hours or less

We don't know that there was a "verbal." It sounds like it was a good visit but not good enough to make a commitment. Otherwise, Ware wouldn't be going on a visit to another school. It doesn't mean IU is out. It just means Ware is still undecided.

It's unfortunate that he didn't cancel the Bama visit. But, I'd rather be the school that may have received a Verbal than the school trying to sway that recruit's mind in 36 hours or less. Also, with an announcement coming shortly after the visit it won't impact IU's ability to pursue Shedrick (a great fallback option).

Or, crazy thought, there wasn't a verbal and while IU may have felt good he was undecided.

If he gave a verbal there'd be no reason to take the Bama visit.

If the visit was the following weekend I'd be more concerned with Ware not cancelling. But, logistically when the visit is the following day it's easier to go with the prearranged travel plans than book last minute travel back to Oregon/Arkansas that will be $$$. 

When Malik committed on his visit, it was easier for him to cancel his subsequent visits when they were weeks (not hours) apart.

I’m sure Alabama is rushing to get everything perfect for tomorrow

Not to knock anyone but how does one become an insider and where do they get their info from. 

1) you work inside the athletic department in some capacity. If that is the case you shouldn't be coming to a message board to tell what you know and should lose their job. 

2) You know someone who works around the athletic department and they tell you.tje info. If that is the case that person should lose their job.

It's plausible that the kid really liked what he saw at IU(enough to get people at IU excited) but wants to take the last visit to be sure. Afterall, his first school choice didn't work out, which makes it even more critical to get it correct this time. It is not very plausible at all that he committed verbally and is still taking the last visit.

If Scotty R was AD, this would be him to the part time ticket booth worker who told Chris007 that he overheard Ware was not committing today

That is nice, you get so much reliable info over there LOL!

I do actually.  It’s the best place to get reliable info.    I don’t lose my mind when people post stuff over there.   I’ve been there long enough to read between the lines.  When everyone was going crazy over what he posted you got to wait it out and see where it goes instead of immediately going to social media or other boards to say what was said.   He eventually followed up with stuff that showed there was another visit which is why I posted a not so fast over here when everyone was losing their minds

Well I think the first thing you should do when someone shares info is to ask if this is OK to share with others or not. That's what I always do. I don't work in the athletic dept and don't consider myself an insider.
