It's 4:30 and no commitments.  We're screwed.

Robbie Beran of Northwestern in the portal.

Does anyone know how transfer portal visits are funded? Do schools cover all expenses similar to the one official visit high schoolers get?

Yes, same process.

Woodson can’t recruit and the program is burning in hell.  Lol.

Woody can’t do anything right, hire Tom Crean instead

Beran isn’t anything special but man, PSU, Minnesota are going to be really bad and Nebraska and Northwestern could be pretty bad too. 
 

I wonder if B1G officiating can balance these discrepancies.

Very intrigued by Nembhard if he has interest in being closer to his brother. I don't mind his lack of size if you're trying to bring in Knecht, Ledlum, and Ware.

[HoosierFan1994]

Feel like right now the staff is going all chips in on Ledlum, Ware, and possibly Knecht. Timberlake doesn't seem likely to come to IU. Shedrick, Handlogten, and DeLoach seem like backup options right now. 

Ranking the ones I'd like to see at IU

1. Knecht-this team has to get another wing/guard or I don't see IU being a serious contender in the Big Ten/NCAA. Right now it seems he is the only guard IU is really serious with. 

2) Ware- Not a lot of bigs like this in the Big Ten..if any at all. Would love to have him. 

3) Ledlum- Probably a distant third. Just have a hard time seeing how a career 29% three point shooter is going to be our 3. If he's going to be the 4...would rather that be Malik considering he has three years left instead of Ledlum's 1. We will see. Seems like a great kid and would be a positive impact person in the locker room. Obviously would be happy to have him.

If there's a way these crews will find it.

Cruising down the highway with a 70mph speed limit @ 40mph with the windows down and both hands firmly on the steering wheel @ the 10:00 o’clock and 2:00 o’clock position taking a Sunday afternoon cruise.

That would send my wife into a full on meltdown. Now, make that a convertible with the top down on a deserted country road and I'm all in.

Been there, done that. #JustSayNo

[RaceToTheTop]

....they keep coming.

Steven Ashworth, Utah St. 6'1" guard.  VERY good shooter.  16.2 ppg, 4.5 apg, 3.3 rpg.  Made over 3 threes per game.  43% shooter from three and 88% from the line.

[RaceToTheTop]

Devan Cambridge, 6'6" wing, Arizona State.  9.8 ppg, 5.4 rpg.  Shot 50/33/65.  Played three years at Auburn before playing at Arizona State, starting 33 games over his last two seasons there.

Agree - 1 and 2 may be more like 1A and 1B for me.

Ledlum - think he would be a great addition to the team and program, of course. In terms of how much it elevates our potential/influences our style of play, I'm unsure. He is a very, very good player... like his tape a lot, but shooting is obviously a concern. Sort of see him as a better/more mature version of CJ Gunn (maybe I'm off base with that comparison) but would rather Gunn get some run since he has 3 more years here. The 1 year of eligibility is a damper to me. Somewhat preferred Battle since he did, what he did, vs B10 and could really stretch the floor. Since Ledlum is on an OV right now, the staff clearly wants him. And they know better than me, so I'll welcome him with open arms and trust they know what they want to do next year. 

At the same time, if Ledlum ends up having a prolonged recruitment... I'd be curious if we see any other compelling guards/wings hit the portal. Not sure when the deadline to enter is. Just hoping that Banks/Gunn are able to contribute meaningful minutes at the 3 spot

Absolutely 100% nailed it. Ware, super intriguing option. He’s a swing for the fences option at the 5. Miss, you still got an athletic 7 footer and Sparks to play the spot. Even Reneau if necessary. Love it.

 

Knecht is exactly the type of player I’ve wanted at IU for a long time and thought Bates was going to became as a recruit.

 

Ledlum- I’m 100% with you. Not sure how much he raises our ceiling as our starting 3. Same height as Gunn. Much slower than Gunn. Less athleticism than Gunn. BUT he’s got old man at the Y type game and sometimes those dudes just find ways to get it done whereas Gunn might still be finding his legs collegiately. He’s kind of a bully, which I like, curious if the game translates to the more athletic conferences. I’ll trust in staff on this one, but I preferred Battle. Or Knecht at the 3 and a different option at the 2? Idk. He seems like our next possible commit, so I’ll warm up.
