My question is what will it look like if there is commitments today

Here is my question. Are we worried about anyone else potentially leaving with this potential wave of players coming in. Guys like Gunn and Banks may be limited in minutes again.

So what's going on with Gonzaga? How good will they be next year? Have had some highly recruited players now transfer out. Well Stawther return? Timme gone?

It's a good question, and I think the answer should be "not especially worried."

If (and it's certainly still a big "if") we got Ware, Ledlum, and Knecht all to commit, we would have an open spot, Leal, and an injury-recovering Jakai Newton as the likely 11th, 12th, and 13th roster spots. With Gallo as the primary guard backup, that would leave Cupps as the tenth most minutes. This past year, the eighth most minutes was Malik at 14.9 mpg, and ninth most was JG at 12.4 mpg. If Banks and Gunn are the 8th/9th most minutes with the ability to pull more minutes as earned, that should be sufficient motivation to stay.

Home watching the Masters, enjoying a little family time before playing golf tomorrow. But it looks to be a really good "Good Friday"

Don’t forget about the Sunday morning stroll down Kirkwood.

More importantly, where did the staff take the visitors for breakfast?

Is Village Deli closed yet?

That leads to my next question of what if IU lands those 3 players and another top level  transfer guard wants to join the party. It could push them. Also saying this because I think we need Banks to find minutes this year. I think he truly could blossom but needs some minutes to develop.

If we pull Sparks, Ware, Ledlum, and Knecht from the portal, the last scholly can be used on Grant Gelon's younger brother for all I care.

Kidding aside, I would fully expect that the staff has the satisfaction of all current players in mind when they make an addition. If they have a role in mind for Gunn and/or Banks, they're well-tuned into not screwing that up.

I didn't know Grant had a younger brother. Hopefully Crean can get a job soon to offer him a scholly.

Any level of concern scaring HS commits from committing with all the transfer portal rumblings. Not sure how in tune HS players are to the transfer portal comings and goings but these transfer hub schools can't make it easy for true freshman to gain minutes, no?

It really does appear that a commitment was made and that another previously scheduled visit needs to be cancelled. The family didn't want news of the IU visit to be shared until the day of the visit so it stands to reason that the same stipulation was placed on the second school visit. I'm guessing that the family out of respect wants to quietly cancel the second visit without the school name being made public.

Thanks to all who have shared info that allows me to believe this. I'll hold off on my elation until officially announced though - just part of being a Hoosier fan.

All of your years of wisdom have given you a nice level-headed approach to IU news. I love it, I'm just not very good at it yet.

No worries about that.

In today's environment you obviously have to keep both in mind but you can't stop recruiting.  Don't want anyone else to leave but it's all about winning games and a coach has to make his roster as strong as he can.

Man, I’m one week too late! My wife and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary last weekend in Bloomington! Our daughters got us a night at the Graduate on Kirkwood last Saturday night. My wife and would have gladly been super snoopers for Hoosier Nation! We’ve stayed there about 3 times now, wonderful experience. If you ever get a chance, I would highly recommend it! To top it off, IMO, the best breakfast in Bloomington is at the Uptown on Kirkwood, hands down!

Clarification:  The above is a simple analogy of speed regarding most things that is IU men’s basketball in the 21st century.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I think Ledlum and Knecht both have 2 years of eligibility remaining if they were to exercise the Covid year. Ware has 3 years remaining.

Lots of mention of Timberlake but he only has 1 year left if I’m understanding it. Give me the guys with multiple years.

I believe you are wrong. Ledlum & Knecht have the COVID year only. Ware does have 3.

Guys with less time remaining could free up rides for the 24 or 25 classes.

Cupps addressed the portal situation in an interview I read recently. Basically said he can't wait to get here to meet and compete with his new teammates. He said he will do whatever the coaches ask of him to win games. I hope everyone else has the same attitude.
