My  wish list from the ones we contacted.

 

Dalton Knecht

Chris Ledlum

Jamison Battle 

Payton Sparks

Kadin Shedrick

 

I think this is IU wishlist if Timberlake to UNC is a done deal as people say. IU still wants him to visit though.

Essegian went to Central Noble(Albion).  But I did hear he started out at Carroll(Ft. Wayne).  But why would he leave Wisconsin?  Doesn't like the offense?  

It's largely based on this tweet:

Have we reached out to Knecht?  I may have missed it but didn't see anything.

Also remember that FAU has a player or two that might enter the portal after they win the championship.

Yeah, I am aware of that.  Just curious as to why he would leave Wisconsin.  Heck, I watched a game earlier this year where they stated he grew up a Michigan fan.

Jake Heidbreder from Floyd's Knobs now in the portal. All Mountain West at Air Force. A 6'5" pure shooter who needs to gain 15 pounds..

I wonder if we will have interest. Pretty nice stat line. Not sure if he defends:

                     GP    MIN    FG%    3P%    FT%    REB    AST    BLK    STL    PF    TO    PTS
2022-23       32    32.5    48.8    39.9    86.7    3.3    1.7    0.0    0.6    2.0    1.7    15.1
2021-22       29    34.1    49.8    37.9    79.7    3.2    1.9    0.1    0.5    2.5    1.2    10.4

Absolute stud!

Yeah Essegian played where I went to school. He and his family were big Michigan fans but obviously never got an offer from them. Out of the list of offers he did receive, the Wisconsin one was the biggest. He also got one from Minnesota. I sometimes wonder if the Wisconsin decision was more of a matter of just choosing the big name school from the list. Kind of a “hey look at me, I’m going to Wisconsin”…which, coming from small town/school like Central Noble, has its star power and people around town just thought it was amazing (which it was).  So IF he does enter the portal, I could see it being because Wisconsin just ended up not being a play style he wants to end up doing. He got his exposure his freshman year on the big stage and showed what he’s capable of, so he could be attractive to other big name schools now that he originally didn’t get offers from. Could it happen? Wouldn’t surprise me. But also not saying it’s actually going to because I have no idea.

I always thought this was a dumb tweet anyway. He would likely be interested in potentially transferring IF offered. Insert every single name in the portal to this sentence and it's still true and says absolutely nothing.

I'm shocked PU hasn't offered him yet since they tend to find guys over 7'3"(I hope what you are saying is sarcasm).  Victor is widely projected to be the #1 draft pick in this upcoming draft.

Rest assured I know who Wemby is.  I also know that the tweet talking about a stud freshman potentially coming to IU in no way could have referred to Victor.  Perhaps my sense of humor has lost a step?

Do we have any momentum with ledlum or dalton? Haven’t heard much about ledlums home visit or dalton at all

Lots of words to say absolutely nothing.
