And how do you know that?

This is a kick in the gut for sure. As I said earlier, I am happy the staff went all in. However, I do think there should have been back up plans they prioritized. Queen isn't a must get by any means, but it's a major disappointment to land just 1 of these 3. They're capable of hitting the portal but this one stings. 

I wanted Fland more than Queen tbh.  Guard play wins in March and we have post players with Ware, Reneau and Sparks.

We may or may not get Boogie. But I highly doubt our NIL package would be the issue.

I'm really not trying to be pedantic, but is that speculation or rooted in some sort of factual source? Maybe I'm just being obtuse and we got outbid plain and simple, and it's obvious to see... I feel like NIL has been considered a strength of ours, so if one of the 3 recruits we prioritized in 2024 isn't getting that investment (when we just saw Kel'El and Mgbako presumably get it) just doesn't add up to me.

Me too. He's been by #1 all along. This one sucks.

Brass Cannon is talking just to talk.  He has no idea what's going on with our NIL.

Sounds like Cupps, Galloway, Gunn, Newton will be our mainstays for ‘24. Maybe it’s not so bad but stacking classes is what big boys do.

Our staff was fully confident. They got the rug pulled out from underneath them on this one. They didn’t see it coming. AHoward was confident until this evening.

Everything I’ve seen on this board is total speculation!! Nobody has the info they think they do!!
 

Go Hoosiers

Some of you guys are really dramatic. If IU gets Boogie, great. If not, move on to the next one. I trust this staff will be just fine. 

[IUfan_Charlie]

Brutal miss. Would have to assume this means we are out on Queen too. 2024 is going to be a massive disappointment if the staff can’t land multiple studs in the portal. Probably their make or break year.

Cupps et al are good pieces, you need those kind of players that stick around and provide experience.  We need to be stacking 5* talent though to compete with the big boys.

The name of the game in college basketball has been $$$ despite how much our fanbase has denied it for decades.  We may have had a competitive offer but if your are putting all the eggs in one basket you better have an offer they can’t say no to.

I’m all IU. Too many things point to us IMO

So an hour ago it was iu. I come back and everyone is melting down claiming its over

I don't really think anything changed. He set the announcement date, wasn't taking visits, etc so he knew where he was going.

Reneau as a JR… Banks as a Junior… They will attract solid Portal guys. They get 1-2 studs in the portal  this off-season… This team could be special still.

Except the 15 times he posted stranger things gifs I guess.  He doesn’t miss on his final guess might be more fair

Anyone thinking that group can lead a deep tourney run is kidding themselves imo. Even if Liam is a monster as a freshmen, which is not a sure thing. Transfer portal is the only way to salvage this.
