USPS watches a boat load of college ball! You got any names that intrigue you from the portal?

A board moderator asked yesterday for this to be moved along.  No matter how many times you mention my name in a post, this will be my last reply on the subject.

Latrell Wrightsell JR or Tylor Perry?

FWIW, I mentioned that both had visited Alabama recently.  Alabama has three spots open but the real position of need was at point guard, which both Wrightsell and Perry can play.  Aaron Eastraa of Hofstra (20.2 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 4.3 apg) just committed and I would think he steps in at the point guard position so it probably is less likely that Wrightsell or Perry end up there.

Harrison Ingram commits to North Carolina.  Very highly rated small forward out of high school (#19 in the class of 2021) who never seemed to reach his potential at Stanford.  Last year averaged 10.5 ppg, 5.8 rpg, and 3.7 apg.  Over two seasons, shot 40/32/63.  Out of high school 247 described him as an elite IQ player with okay physical skills.

FYI.. and no, not trying to poke the bear with this. I would honestly like some of the back and forth with me on this to stop.

Trying to gain a little credibility back with a couple posters Race and Brass who say social media is pointless.

called Knecht yesterday to Tenn when those were still thinking they couldn’t and didn’t have room

called Deloach to Georgia as well

Both guys social media activity this week made it  easy to call. It is never 100% but these kids tip their hand all the time. They don’t just follow everyone they meet as some think. 

So if anyone is now swayed a little, this points again that Ledlum was ours and Knecht was going to come on a visit like the staff believed. Tenn. just sold them both. NIL, athlete perks etc. 

All will be fine. Tenn. just got us on both at once.

Race/Brass!-not looking to argue this whole thing again. I am pointing it out for those that want every little bit of insight. 

Why is your user name on here different than the one on HSN. For such a college basketball insider you spend a lot of time arguing on message boards trying to make yourself look important

UNC treating the TP as you’d expect. They might still suck, re:coaching, but they are behaving like winners in the off-season.

They have lost as many recruits in the portal as they have won.

Tbh- I’m still counting on our TP class to be better. I’m holding on to faith until it smacks me.

A lot of changes,, both in and out

Out:  Caleb Love (13th ranked in the portal by 247)

          Puff Johnson (103)

         Dontrez Styles (142)

         Tyler Nickel  (145)

         Justin McCoy (174)

         Will Shaver  (199)

In:     Harrison Ingram (20)

         Cormac Ryan (72)

         Jae'Lyn Withers  (106)

         Paxson Wojcik  (119)

 

I think the exchanges are a net positive.  They are still in on Kendrick, I believe, so that could determine a lot.

For those that like to believe in or hear about rumors, lot being pushed on IU trying to get Devo Davis to enter portal. Came up before but being pushed around more today.

I also heard on Ant Wright podcast today that their info is IU only wants to fill 2 and not 3 of the open spots.

and for Scott -no man, not trying to be or pretend to be some “insider” - this stuff is not hard if you have time on your hands and dig enough. I am just a big fan and care about us winning again. I have lots of time right now as my wife had surgery and she needs all my attention. So I lay in bed with her and read and listen to stuff. Thought this was the point of message boards to provide rumors, insight etc.

Why would he come to IU, like what's the connection? And who is saying this? I love rumors but this one seems pretty odd because of where he's from etc. 

[Hoosier987 1,585]

Is Devo Davis, or any other SEC talent following anyone from IU on social media?

I like to hear this stuff, gives me hope.  I sure hope others feel that way!

I hope your wife is recovering ok!   Keep us posted on your wife and any IU updates!

I agree, this seems odd.  Why would he transfer to IU or any other school when he is from Arkansas?

[Stuhoo 84,999]

Hulls is following Devo Davis.

He would be the single best get at the three spot IU could imagine.

Great defender, great motor, great academics/locker room guy.

I’m still puzzled!  Why would a guy from Arkansas, playing for Arkansas, want to transfer out.  Oh that’s right, he isn’t transferring yet, hasn’t even put his name in the portal and yet we are recruiting him! Something seems fishy in Denmark!

This is not a knock on Chris, but him not being aware of any current portal activity by IU does not equate to there being none.

I hope they can put the pieces together. Losing both knecht and Ledlum to UT was a sobering moment for me. We don’t stack up where I thought we did.

Recruiting players into the portal is without question part of the current environment

Sorry to hear about your wife

 My problem I have to much time on my hands because my kids are out of the house and I am divorced. With that I spend to much time on message boards and let to many things bother me.

I assume a lot of these transfer had no prior connection to the school they transferred to. I know Arkansas has brought in 4 players who are guards so it will effect Davis on playing time. He is testing the NBA but I doubt he will stay in the draft.  Also has any of our assistants recruited him before
