So is he officially not announcing in early signing period?

Nothing has been announced to my knowledge.  Still speculation at this point.

True but those other schools don’t have your best buddy going there. Don’t forget that. That wins any tie.  To each their own but I don’t see the IU worry here. Think this is great for IU. 

If it was just about his best buddy, he could have committed to IU already.  Him not committing is good in that it means IU has been able to make him reconsider Maryland.  But it also means that he isn’t sold on IU at this point either.

Exactly and that will allow Houston and Kansas make up ground.  IMO, he wanted to go to Maryland but they botched his recruitment and he didn’t want to go to IU. Now that it appears Maryland has lost ground, he wants to take a closer look at Kansas and/or Houston.  I think IU is almost out of the picture.

Makes sense.

For a dude who’s been frequently wrong, ngw sure takes comments in here unnecessarily personally and oozes condescension in his posts.

Yeah, I think I've seen this movie before... didn't like the ending...

Talk about a glass half-full post with zero speculation! You've been Hoosier-punished over the years, just like the rest of us. I can tell by your tone!

I’d say pretty close to right.

Lot of chicken little behavior on this. “Well, this is bad for IU” . In what way?  Others get involved, ok? 

Not sure how pointing out others can get involved is ‘chicken little’ behavior…..certainly not understanding why this was put in a reply to my post.  I’ve never expressed ‘sky is falling’ behavior on any recruit or transfer….because in todays landscape there are options.

I get a bit amused about the "kid wants to get all the facts and make the right decision".  Sure, they need to do their due diligence and be confident in their ultimate choice, but you can analyze & debate a decision until the cows come home and still be wrong.

If I'm CMW or UM's coach, I definitely start beating the bushes for other players.  Not saying give up on DQ, but don't sit passively by for one recruit that can't decide.

Agree. 100%. Woody and IU have made their case to Queen. He's welcome to join us. Or not. His choice... but time to be forming a solid backup plan... With NIL and the portal, it's nowhere near a dire situation, but at this point, either he comes or he doesn't, and Woody et al need to have a plan moving forward, either way. And that plan cannot be just sitting by the phone hoping we get a date to the prom.

Well said!  I say we move on but passively recruit him.  Putting all of our eggs in 3 baskets only works 33% of the time!

It seems he has an indecisive personality, I say we move on!  100% agree with your comments.

The reply was not just at you. The reply was addressing your comment on not being all about Liam. Never said it was. Just one thing others can’t offer. Heck, maybe that is the one reason he keeps thinking IU. We have no idea. He did say they are “brothers” though. 

My other comments were at the rapid negative thoughts by so many. Don’t think you have been. Some sure are reading into this a lot and reading into it in a way that doesn’t seem logical if you were to place odds. 

Alec and few other media guys said “sources” are saying it is all about IU vs Maryland and he can’t decide. Sources could be wrong but seems like if you combine logic with those sources there is more positive in this than negative. 

I don't disagree that it is likely IU v. Maryland right now.  But that doesn't mean that is what it will necessarily be what it is all about come spring.  New factors can emerge.  Three things could have happened:

1.  He committed to IU in the fall.

2.  He committed elsewhere (Maryland) in the fall.

3.  He did not commit and therefore it won't come until the spring.

If you are IU, #1 is the best option and #2 is the worst.  If you are Maryland, #2 is the best and #1 is the worst.  But #3 does not mean that #1 or #2 will happen in the spring.  Even if right now Queen sees himself either going to IU or Maryland doesn't mean that will be the case in the spring

That's no game.  That's just stupid.

Hopefully he didn't play very many minutes. Just saying
