Let's hope there's real fire behind this story and not just smoke.

Hope we land him. I take Queen over Flory easily.

Oh, now you’ve started something.

And I agree with you.

Queen is definitely a more skilled offensive player

So just to be clear, "the winds have shifted towards Indiana" justified his post on 12/5, when he goes on to later acknowledge "As for a timeline, I don't believe we'll see it wrapped up before Christmas or even the new year"? Thanks for the breaking news, Walter Cronkite. Here is a bold prediction worthy of a Twitter post: I heard from someone at a Taco Bell, or a Dairy Queen, or maybe it was the drive-thru at a Chick-fil-a that Queen will or won't announce he is maybe, possibly, going to attend a university in Indiana, or maybe the midwest, or maybe somewhere else in America, and will or won't announce it today, or tomorrow, or possibly sometime in the future, if the future actually exists. #TimeIsAFlatCircle

Nothing like a little click-bait on a Friday afternoon to kick off Hanukkah.

I don't think it's clickbait.

Queen would be a great "get" for Woody, but the drama around all of these teenagers and their self-aggrandizing is too much for me (yeah, I'm old). I'm fine with something happening sooner (or later), but no more plane tracking for me... been burned several times... wake me when it's over.

The Daily Hoosier is Mike Schumann. He always keeps his powder dry. Him and Chronic Hoosier both sticking their necks out?

Damn that’s good to see.

With some of the recruits (like what's-his-face that just committed to Rutgers) I would agree with you.

Queen? No so much. He and his family have been very quiet during his recruitment. It's not his fault that other people follow every move closely, make claims that he's close to committing,  claim to know the school that leads, etc. I also can't fault him for taking his time to make what is a very big decision in his life.  To me, taking his time on the decision and keeping his process quiet actually shows some maturity.

I don’t remember either doing so last time with DQ so I am hopeful

Yes it is. And you’re right about Mike. He is very careful.

I wouldn't call it self-aggrandizing.  If I post things about myself on facebook/twitter/instagram, no one cares and no one calls it self-aggrandizing.  The only difference is that people care where high rated high school players play at the next level.  It's not self promotion just because people are interested in what you do.

Definitely want DQ but we will need to bring in an elite guard In the portal

Or at the very least, a guard who won't break the backboard while shooting a 3!

It sounds promising, but so did fland.

Very solid free throw shooter. Like Reneau and Ware. I like when the 4/5 can shoot it.

Not a bad night's work against a really good opponent.
