DeLoach and Ledlum interacting with X on his Instagram live tonight...maybe that guy was right. 

Add a scorer like Knecht and I'd consider that portal class a homerun.

Probably just talking about the portal in general

Very likely, but wheels are turning in the transfer portal right now

I don’t think he is. If you dig a little, this social media and Instagram thing has too much smoke to it.  I think all of them are going to announce just like that guy said. Not sure who his source was. 

way too many of those guys all following each other and already following girls at IU. They don’t follow a lot of people either. 

Tipton is very,very connected to transfer portal/recruiting. He was one of the top recruiting editors a couple of years ago

Yes, I know. I am saying I think this ties into what is happening at IU. Will see but way too many coincidences at this point. 

Visits IU

Cancels Alabama visit

a lot of smoke

Crystal Ball to IU

National guys saying it’s going to be busy soon

Catching up on the board today...Would be crazy to add all these guys. Jalen DeLoach would start day 1 at Penn State. Not sure he would at IU. Still, would be wild if Woodson can add him. Sounds good though if those guys (DeLoach, Ledlum, and Ware) are interacting with players on social media. Really hope they can land a wing/guard. Knecht I think would average 15 a game. How bad was his team to finish 12-20? He can play!! I feel like (at least hoping) this will be a very balanced team next year. 

I'v been watching film of these guys with some downtime this evening. I like Knecht the most. He's just a pure scorer and really athletic. Need scoring bad after losing a ton of it. Ledlum seems like a guy that can do a bit of everything. I'm not sure how much he scores here at IU. I feel better about him being a 3. Ware is a guy that has a ton of potential. Like TJD he's a force at the rim and he can step out and guard the 3 point line. He's kind of raw. As much as I want him, not sure he really should be the #2 player in the portal. I can see him as a 10 PPG, 7 RPB, 2 blocks a game kind of player...which is still REALLY good.

Knecht is interacting a little as well with some follows etc just not as much as those other 3. All the more reason those other 3 seem to be more than normally would expect. 
I also saw where the competition for him is deeper. Kentucky, UNC I think were both names I have seen tied to him in last 24 hours. 

would be nice to get those 3 all at once and then could go hard to close Knecht down. 

but I also think they might have another option there as a back up. 

have to assume they all have to pass basic admission once over and might be tough with holiday weekend. That is just my assumption. 

UK is going very hard after him

But what does Pepe Silvia shoot from 3? 

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,064]

Eric from Hoosier Hysterics talked about a recruit in the past 1.5 years that commited while on visit and the parents too but then went on other visits and didn’t come to IU.  I think he referenced this story as a direct connection to Ware.  So you can easily read between those lines. 
 

anyway, care to speculate who said recruit was?

 

my guess is Noah Clowney. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,064]

Eric also touting Shedrick and clearly proposing him as a backup option for Indiana.   I think he’s trying to keep emotions in check.  I think we are crunching numbers as well. Trying to raise more money, literally.  Lol.

Is there a strong consensus that Ware is that much better than Shedrick?

On3 doesn't have him as the #2 player in the portal, just the one site did that I saw.

[JSHoosier 19,925]

Has DeLoach even visited?  I know he's heard from IU, it'd seem odd for him to commit and join those guy if he hasn't visited the campus especially if he wouldn't be a starter.

No, not immediately. Ware has the ability to be an all conference player, nba pick - way more upside

Are you suggesting Ware verballed Thursday night and now is backing out?

Might we have an issue in closing recruits? I see all these memes about Woody being a closer so that has become the prevailing “truth” but if we are getting recruits really interested and even saying yes but then they don’t come… that doesn’t fit that narrative if true.

Them announcing, them signing, that’s the close, that’s the most important part. They need to have Tipton making his edits while the kid is sitting there and have it queued up to hit send before the kid walks out of there while the excitement is still real/fresh.

once they leave and there is no announcement, the excitement leaves, they get cold feet, the grass starts looking greener etc

Not being argumentative, but I don’t think so….I mean he closed JHS and Malik.  Tipton I’m guessing isn’t hired by the schools. They have their own marketing dept for those things.   Your suggestions sound like a hard close.  Being in sales for 25 years, I’ve been far more successful with the opposite approach.
