No, it's not bad news.

Tucker hits the portal per Rabby.

Not surprising. Wonder where he ends up.

What a shame and waste of a 5-star.

Last game he played in was UCLA didn't play after that sad state of affairs.

Maryland for Tucker?

Not too surprising. He was a guy who waited last second for the highest NIL dollar and Indiana got suckered into it. Turns out, he wasn't very good, most freshmen aren't so not exactly his fault. 

Onto another P4.

Tuck, invoking his best Lee Corso, says: "Not so fast, my friend." 

(And technically, neither he nor anybody else can be in the portal -- because the portal is not open. They can announce intentions to go portaling, however.)

Thank you team for following this up. It also appears Byron Tucker has reached out and asked where Rabby got his info. I was merely posting the info tweeted by the one and only Rabjohns. Thanks.

It's funny. 20 minutes ago Rabby posted that Tucker said that he's not in the portal. Then 10 minutes ago he posted that people at IU said he is. Maybe he's getting Creaned, but that seems odd without a HC in place.

Either way, it looks like Rabby has no f'in clue what's going on at IU. Not ideal when your job is covering IU.

This kid can play. Like Rice, Carlyle and a lot of the portal players that turned us down, if you are a downhill player that excels in space or God forbid play off the ball out of weekside movement and a ball reversal, IU can make you look pretty bad. There were plenty of schools, like a St. John's or Michigan St where he would've fit right in.
