This, Wayne points out the obvious. It comes across as negative sometimes, but it's really realistic. We just don't want to hear it. Wayne is one of the guys I always read his posts while I skip over many. Maybe he overstates it a bit, I don't know.

Is it realistic though? I don't mean to go at Wayne, he's a great, longtime poster of course. 

But is it realistic to act like recruiting is in the tank and next season is already going to be bad when the roster isn't set and literally not a single portal player that the staff is recruiting has committed anywhere, other than the one that already committed to IU?

Wayne of course brings up some real questions and concerns, I'm not debating that. But, we're a long, long way from recruiting and next season already being in the tank.

That guy rode the bench for 4 years at Baylor if I’m not mistaken.   Got him a national title though.   Using the covid year to hit the portal

Probably has been posted here (haven't read through everything), but saw a couple things in Twitterworld that Bates is down to K-State and Mizzou. ... Wondering if Mizzou would take either Bates or Love -- or wants both?

Might as well take both. Ain't like Bates is starting over Love.

It doesn't seem like we are looking for 2 wings. It appears Ledlum is the priority over Battle. 

With an improvement from Banks which I fully expect I'm fine with one wing.I think there's a reason Geronimo and Bates left and not KB.The staff may feel the same way.

Boston Globe said his 21-22 season was rough. Ended early by a sports hernia, hip labral tears, and a torn left groin. Brutal year below the belt for Chris.

Well that sounds miserable.

Per Tipton, IU, along with everyone else, has reached out to LJ Cryer.

Does anyone know if we are still in contact with Timberlake?

IU is still going after him and trying to get him on campus, but until hat happens I'd say he's a no.

Why? I'd prefer they don't. Then we can read more of the doom and gloom from yesterday. 

Don't worry, any optimism generated by zoom calls to recruits or even commitments from those recruits will only be temporary and short lived. We will return to the regularly scheduled pessimism and anticipatory b****ing shortly.

Would he be a 2, a 3 - or both?

Whether a 2 or 3 doesn't really matter to me. The question in my mind: is he a ballhandler? We need someone at both those positions who can handle the ball up the court or on the perimeter without being a turnover target. Galloway is not an elite ballhandler by any means but he protected the rock. Compare that to Geronimo who wanted to play the "3" but couldn't handle the ball if his life depended on it.

It ain't no lie, if Timberlake doesn't get on campus, it's bye, bye bye.

 

I will, once again, see myself out.

Most of what he says strikes me as realistics , i could be wrong, but that's how I see it. I don't like a lot of his posts mainly because he's pointing out bugs in the machine.

saw someone on twitter say to expect lots of big names to enter portal over the coming weeks.  We shall see.
