Surely you jest.  Friends of The Program baby.  :) 

That's what everyone said when Samson started making phone calls that were not permitted.  They were only phone calls, right?   Everyone else does it.  The NCAA will never catch us.  Level the playing field, right.  What is a little cheating when it comes to winning championships.  No I do not jest.  IU has always tried to run a clean program and do things the right way.  The NIL and transfer portal are new and there are always cheaters out there.  Some won't be caught.  Some will.  Want to take the chance and run a dirty program?  Not me.  I have some pride in my school.

He could be right or wrong. He could know something or be guessing. He did say when the Caleb Love to IU news was hot that Caleb was down to IU and Mizzou. That didn't pan out.

Damn - I’m been driving for 10 hours and finally get to my destination. 1st thing I do before going to sleep? Catch up on the thread!!

Summary from last 30 hours:

* We got him - he will pop tomorrow!

* Crap - he’s taking his Bama visit. We’re screwed!!

* Oops - Oats loses ALL his assistants.

*Ware CANCELS the visit!!! HELL YEAH!!

 

Is that close?

Add in the back and forth from “the staying positive and optimistic” group versus the “the sky is falling, this staff and team stink” group. With that added, you nailed it. But most of all, within the last 30 hours, no commitment has happened so you haven’t missed the big picture haha

That'd be the number 2, 45, and 75 players in the portal.  It'd be a haul, but we'd still need shooting (dear basketball gods, please be Knecht).

Not sure how much time DeLoach would get here with those 2.  He'd be the athletic rim defending/rebounding type guy but scores entirely from the post and put backs.  I read he's talked to Thompson and Aljami Durham and both said great things about IU.

The NCAA didn't; IU self reported and self sanctioned, the NCAA laughed said okay then laughed at our stupidity after getting off the phone.

All the crap the NCAA let's slide, they couldn't care less about phone calls, it's even legal now.

Hopefully iu receives some positive transfer news today

He also said that his best bet on Simon Lukosis from Butler was Indiana and that Purdue was one of the players for L. J. Cryer.  He’s a guy with 188 followers and a google search bar IMO.

Thanks for posting this. To me, if we get Ware and Ledlum, idk if I see a reason to bring in another big. We would have Reneau, Sparks, and Ware, with Ledlum also playing some 4. 
Will trust the staff, but would prefer the staff to focus on shooting if we get Ware and Ledlum.

I hear you.  But it's pretty much an open secret that the NIL "collective" is the equivalent of the GM's salary budget.

Those rankings are laughable.

I think it was just IU the whole time.

Personally, I can't put a lot of faith into a Twitter account with 189 followers.  Hope it's true.  Want it to be true.  But until there's confirmation from what I consider to be reliable sources it's just noise.

Banks and Ledlum could be 3s.

Banks can guard small post players and a lot of perimeter players, but he’s going to have to figure out how he’s going to score if he wants to play. I would assume from our transfer targets, Woody wants him him out on the perimeter.

Prove it. All these rumors.

Send me some pictures of the hot chicks.

Because some they rank some on their potential, some they rank on what they've actually done in college, others.. I have no clue how they could come up with that ranking. 

It's one of the more useless exercises we tie ourselves to. It is an imperfect science, admittedly, but mercy. I've multiple sites have Tamar Bates ranked ahead Sparks. That's wild, for instance. 

Bates is ahead of the Gilbert kid from UNLV. These sites won't admit how bad they screwed up the first time when doing these rankings. Ware at #2.. no. Just no.

Babysitting a brisket for today until after midnight all the while checking this sight.

When it came out of the stall and hit temp at 4:30AM I took it off the smoker and checked this sight again.Just got back up and immediately checked in again 

I have grandkids coming in one hour.

WTF is wrong with me?
