Had an IU offer, though it never appeared to have traction. If Mgbako doesn’t happen it’s probably fair to assume that Rosemond would reach out.

Didn't he also put his name in the draft

 I remember watching a lot of UT and he didn't produce a lot last year

IU media promoting Phillips.  Seems telling.  Next big time target to offer NIL to.

Arthur Kaluma from Creighton entering portal. 6’7 220. Might be more small ball 4. Testing the nba draft still though. Shot 31% from 3 last year

6’8” small forward.  Averaged 8.1 points and 4.7 rebounds as a freshman at Tennessee.  Ranked 19th in class of 2022.  247 described him out of high school as a slasher who did project to develop a perimeter game.  Only shot 11 of 46 from deep as a freshman but was an 82% free throw shooter.  Saw a statistical analysis of him that said while he was on and off offensively as a freshman that Tennessee’s defensive numbers with him on the court were incredible.

Another player that Trilly Donovan mentioned that there are rumors of entering the portal is Missouri’s Kobe Brown.  6’8” big wing who averaged 16 points and nearly 7 rebounds last season.  Shot 55% overall and 46% from three.

one item to keep in mind is that the SEC had a rule that if a player transfers from an SEC school to another SEC school after May 2st, they have to get a waiver from the conference or sit out a year.

That’s a bummer if it indicates IU knows that MM is heading to Kansas.

Grad transfers can enter the portal after tomorrow and will still be eligible 

That's what I thought, as well, but I also saw that there was some deadline for grad transfers entering the portal that was on May 1. Do you know what that deadline was?

Is it that recent grads can transfer at any time but students that were already grad students had the May 1 deadline? It's clear as mud to me.

It indicates the staff is doing their due diligence in case they don't get the outcome they want on Friday, which is what any college basketball staff with functioning brain cells should be doing. 

 

Recruiting literally never stops. I've never figured out why people assume coaches showing interest in one player means they've given up on another.

While I fully agree, sometimes it’s exactly what it means. We a staff publicly puts interest in a player at the same position late in the game, it can mean they know the answer.

That being said, Indiana hasn’t done any of those things which continue to give me some confidence in MM.

In the case of Phillips, it was more the IU media Tweeters that uniformly jumped on.

But, then sometimes the Media guys are used as mouthpieces. So, 🤷🏼

You kind of took a leap from my post.

Yes, I understand that any staff with “functioning brain cells” has a plan B (and C and D and E…etc) but my point was that the sudden emergence of interest in a guy that plays the exact same position as MM might mean the staff knows he is going to Kansas.

But thanks for the recruiting lesson :)

The ‘sudden emergence’ of interest couldn’t have happened before because he wasn’t in the portal until yesterday.

Saw some video and shot doesn't look bad so his shooting numbers may improve, especially since he shot FTs well.

We need a good option at wing, Mgbako will choose Kansas.

I don’t think there is a deadline for grad transfers

Yeah can’t compare high school recruiting to portal recruiting.   Not the same.  Arkansas reaches out to everyone with a pulse that has entered.  They fill their team early in portal season by reaching out to everyone.   Only problem with that is they will never get to recruit  late portal additions.    If I’m a staff I reach out to every major addition to the portal regardless of it my team has a shot.   A former McDonald’s all American hits the portal your team should automatically reach out.    It cost nothing to reach out

Yep — Arkansas had made contact with 80+ players by early April.

Kansas is straight up nuts.  I guess Dickinson was really worth all this.  Talk about a program having no loyalty.  Frees up front court minutes for MM because Adams is probably playing a lot too.  Kansas is also after the North Dakota or whatever kid too.  

Anyway, Screw Kansas.
