I'm saying we will get Liam because I think he has expressed that to the staff, I think that really helps with Queen, and if we get him, then we Boogie. For the fall those are the only 3 possibilities. I'm hoping for all 3 but 2 would be a success. If we just get Liam, then we have some work to do in the spring or with the portal.

Good to hear.  Staff seems confident in landing all 3 or getting what they want in the portal.  While we have been good in the portal I would not want to count on that every year.  Hoping Woody's confidence in getting things done once at the table doesn't backfire.  Would sure be cool to have a narrow search and get most of your top targets.

I like the trend here

KU has offers out to McNeeley, Queen and Flagg. Will be pretty surprised if he gets any of them,

I stand by the reservation that we need to present to McNeeley to have a good enough class to be nationally relevant. Self isn’t giving in despite Trilly Donovan’s confidence. I think we need to convince Queen too. Besides Boogie, no one really left to build out the class in the fall.

KU fans think he’s there for Flagg, but I’m sure he will give another pitch to McKeeley too

Hopefully, he'll call him McKeeley. That would likely seal the deal for IU. ;)

This was known. Dollar Bill is giving his last sales pitch.

I almost feel like it’s a positive that Bill feels the need for another visit, meaning we are in front. But when he gets involved, it always makes me queasy. But I think he gives that feeling to a lot of people.

I agree I think this is his hail mary because he already knows the writing is on the wall. He's just trying to tell Liam to hold off on going to IU so he can try to get Flagg to Kansas and they both can play together. But as everyone knows Flagg is going to Duke and Liam to IU and Queen is not going to Kansas who has Flory

I don't know, the last time we thought we were getting someone where an opposing staff made a last-minute Hail Mary (Ledlum), they got him. Hopefully this isn't a repeat.

True, but Woody and company have put in way more time with Liam compared to a 5th year senior transfer. I would think that even if Kansas did something to jump ahead or even the playing field, we would get last call. At least, that is my thinking.

The crystal ball and futurecast predictions for Liam McNeeley to IU keep rolling in. While herd mentality can be a thing with those predictors, it’s also true that they all have pretty high batting averages and pad them by making predictions when...

It would set Crystal Ball precedent for him to go against the grain here.

Self had an in home visit with Liam yesterday
