Sounds like we should hear something soon on Knecht. It's either Oregon, Tennessee, or he decides to do more visits. If I'm IU, I move on if he doesn't give you an answer this week on whether he wants to visit or not. Yes, I would love to have him. He is my top option IU has went after so far. However, don't want to go all in on him and lose out on other decent options. Sounds like Cormac Ryan and El Ellis are the backup options....at this moment. 

I wouldn't mind Ryan as a plan b option.

And other than Ware, we seem to be striking out on the much needed transfer portal front!

It’s incredible that the NCAA lets other teams recruit alongside IU.  Why can’t we just put it in madden mode?

Have to say Rothstein is going overboard here.  In four years, Preston never averaged over 18 mpg.  And Liberty wasn’t in the top 50 in defensive efficiency.

Portal targets change at a really fast pace.  Shedrick was a top target since they had a connection and everyone was waiting for him to enter.  Ware enters portal and quickly becomes a top target in portal nationally.   IU (Ya did a tremendous job making a connection) gets foot in the door and ultimately landed him and were able to move on from Shedrick.   Ledlum has always been a top target for IU.   You could make the case he was their number 1 target overall.  Fans might have questions about his fit but staff have clearly made him a top priority.  

I’ll be interested to see who is better next year between Shedrick and Ware. This might be a Ware has a higher ceiling but Shedrick has a higher floor situation. Shedrick played more at a better program but has his own issues with going in and out of the lineup.  I watched a little of Virginia and thought he was a nice player. I watched zero of Oregon.  
 

Both national guys and our staff seem to be really high on Ware. I’m assuming it’s because of the unrealized NBA-type potential. But I suspect Shedrick might have a nice season next year, as well.

Sean Miller will be a mainstay in the top 25 going forward I’m guessing. Making some nice moves.

Maybe he's great at fouling?

What's going on at Arizona State? They give Hurley an extension(for whatever reason) and 8 dudes hit the portal.

You left out the sweaty part...

Is cheating even a thing with NIL now? NIL is great for IU. Recruits can give coaches a number and they can meet that number within the rules. Isn't that basically how it goes?

Lots of hand wringing about the craziness of the transfer portal in cbb right now. I’m  gonna bet a rule change is coming at some point

I can’t imagine any rule change will considerably change this.

In a recent podcast Coach Ya said even with NIL cheating is still happening.

Wild. What kind of cheating though? Contacting recruits outside of set periods maybe? It can't be cash. If a booster is going to contribute cash for a recruit it might as well be through NIL, right? Maybe payments or benefits for family?

Contacting non-portal scholarship players and encouraging them to enter the portal with promises of NIL riches, some of which never materialize.
