Maybe that helps explain the wait. Again boosts my theory that we’ll know SOMETHING in ~10 days FWHoosier84 1

One high school coach who won state a couple of years ago told me a month ago he was the best player in the state. Couldn’t believe no big schools hadn’t offered Yikes, that doesn't inspire me a whole lot, unless they are speaking of number 1 target for Indiana. I would hope we would reach out to 5 stars right away.

So even if they commit to another school I think they can still back out. It's not as though they sign another NLI. So that gives IU some time. FWHoosier84 and Hippopotamo 2

Wouldn't someone whether yours or other sources stated clearly that BS had said no formally behind the scenes? Because that doesn't seem to have happened, just "The Masshole Conspiracy Conference" (i have trademarked that), then silence from all involved. With all the other rumors, whether goodman or rabs, its "i have solid source that this/that happened", I don't recall anyone saying that beyond the BS public comments. Hope that makes sense.

No reason he can’t move here to get started before the family comes later. My thing is I don't believe a lot of these guys have a lot of inside info.

If Chris007 got info when things were good then it would seem he would also have gotten info that things had turned bad or deal was off. But instead he says things have just went quiet. That sounds like people wanting to kill the talk. Yes, because Dolson has told people to ST*U!!! darB s'tI, Rookie33, Hoosierfan1901 and 2 others 5

I did hear we told Brayden Smith that he’s our number 1 target this summer and we’re 90% sure Brad Stevens will be the next coach. Not sure why would say that so don’t ask. Wait what??? That’s a new one! Who told Siri that? That’s was supposed to be Smith.

Sometimes your #1 target is a guy you think you can get, not necessarily the best player you’re targeting. (also...how many kids are told they’re the #1 target?) Chris007 and Bobman1 2

Him & Gunn plus whoever is a good start FWIW there was a guy from Westfield over on ITH ranting and raving for months about Braden and him being completely overlooked due to his height, this was a while ago, but I instantly remembered the name because of it.
