Rabby started the off with message of “Hearing more good things about this visit this morning”

Sounds like we are his top bidder so far.   :)

i was meaning the weather will actually be nice lol 70 degrees and sunny both Friday and Saturday

[Chris007]

Reading what Rabby has to say about this kids visit and with the money we have to spend I would be very surprised if he doesn't come to IU. I know nothing about the kids game. He's a Mcdonalds All-American so that is good. But I think he'll be a Hoosier

Where would we see him playing if we assume we bring in a 5?  

Where would we see him playing if we do not bring in a 5?

Best case scenario?

He’s good enough to start at the three, Mack to the four, and Malik at the five.

Add a new point, a rim protection backup, and a catch and shoot guy, and we would then have a much more modern roster. If Gallo was the first off the bench? Even better.

[Unexpectedflash]

This is good I guess. Would've rather just kept Mcneely because I love how that kid plays but more talent is always better.

Worst case MM leaves and he takes his place

Agreed.

[Hoosierfanyuh]

Are people really complaining about getting a McDonald’s all American? That Izzo and self wanted?

This makes sense but it would be a net negative for the team. Getting Mgbako back needs to be high priority.

Not me. I would love to get him.  Love McNeely for our needs, I’ll probably love Tucker too.  Just would like it to be with Mgbako instead of in place of.

I got to believe that one more year at IU for MM would propel him to a late 1st rd pick or very early 2nd after a 2nd season in college.

CB pick for IU 

[HoosierFan1994]

This kid and possibly Perkins is a great start. But IU has to get shooters, shooters, and more shooters. Even if a few of them come off the bench. 

I'm guessing if Mgabko is back it would be Tucker-Mgbako-Reneau with a rim protector that can come off the bench and play when needed. 

I'll have to watch more on Tucker but it sounds like he isn't considered a one and done 5 star which is nice. However, you never know. 

[Go_Hoosiers]

I love the Tucker-Mgbako-Reneau scenario because it FORCES Woodson to change the offense. He isn't going to post Mgbako up every time down the floor. However, this scenario assumes Mgbako comes back.

Has the undisputed king of very late five star commits struck again?!!?

Damn I hope so.

MOVE MALIK TO THE FIVE PLEEEZE

[monskisprodigy]

I admittedly know nothing about Tucker. What is his story? Why is a 5 star McDonald’s all American still available?

Believe he was going to play for G League Ignite which has since folded if I'm not mistaken
