I don’t.  In a group of 15 or so 18-22 year olds I would be shocked if there isn’t sleeping with their girlfriends or ex girlfriends. Hell I would say there’s a decent chance of it with 15 people in their 30s

I'd think the pool of potential girlfriends would be big enough for a college basketball player that sharing wouldn't be necessary.

Probably true in re: @HoosierFan1994’s question about whether Battle/Leslie couple play together. I would say yes, as a small-ball 4/5 more than a forward combo. But I assume WFH’s right, it’s an either/or proposition for IU

Got it. Wonder if it's a race to who commits first. Not sure if I have a preference.

Thing I find most insane about the portal..the kids who were highly ranked like Bates or even top 100 guys like Duncomb/Geronimo are leaving. Meanwhile guys who weren't highly ranked out of high school are coming in and most likely upgrades. I know Sparks. Ledlum was a borderline top 100 guy. Battle wasn't. Makes me wonder..who ranks the rankers? I think a big reason has to be the spring of 2020 there was no evaluation period and that screwed things up. Feels like there have been more misses than ever. There isn't a single top 30 recruit in the Final Four. I tease my father in law (UK Fan) to pump the breaks on their recruiting class...rankings mean nothing anymore IMO.

I would absolutely prefer Ledlum. 

Sounds the staff does too. Again, I'm all happy they're getting really good frontcourt players (Malik, Sparks, possibly Ledlum and Shedrick). However, they need a guard/wing. I think multiple ones. Unless Jalen is coming back which is really truly insane for him to do. I'll say this..if Galloway/Cupps are the two guards off the bench I think we will have a pretty good team. 

It makes sense to really stock up on frontcourt guys. Just Malik was coming back. Banks..ehh we will see what he becomes.

And here I thought I was gonna be able to watch “The Night Agent” on Netflix or “Wicked Tuna” tonight but instead I’m choosing to scroll, refresh page, scroll, refresh page. 

Ditto my friend….

JHS isn’t coming back. They’re going after guards/wings.

Completely agree. I'd like to see us add another guard and a wing.

Let’s speculate . . .

 

We convince Love, Ware, and Ledlum to become Hoosiers. Assuming no one else leaves, with Sparks already on board that’s 4 of the five spots filled. Do you:

1) Try to get another combo guard/wing?

2) Bring in Doughty from Ben Davis?

I made a qualified defense of Doughty somewhere on here and I stand by the basics of it: if the staff thinks he’s it they’ve earned our trust.

However.

Checked his twitter and all his recent offers are middling mid-majors: EKU, BSU, etc. Sparks may be instructive here: if he’s good for a year or two, well, the portal may be our friend again.
