When Trilly made that tweet about New York Guard(s) having dramatic recruitments, it was pluralized for a reason. That was the night, he knew. And same with his protege Noah.

Also, Cal had just visited Boogie in New York. Woody was about to go and the camp announced no more visits before he came the last time. The signs have been there.

This is not correct. We were last to visit.

I think most staffs are always hopeful but that's a far cry from being incredibly confident. I think Woodson should just become a full time spring only recruiter. For whatever reason the last two falls have not gone that well.

I would disagree. Beating Self for McNeely was no small task. It may have been less successful then hoped, but any fall that brings in a 5* recruit is a win to some extent. Fall 2023 was indeed not great. Fall 2024 was mild success but not the major success everyone hoped.

The concern is we put so much into this one that we were out on other options before this week.  There's not another top end guard like Fland we were in on and can't really count on it happening in Spring; and as has been said this is the kind of talent we need to be stacking.

Given we will have like five spots to fill this spring I really expected us to land at least three guys this fall. Yes he is a five star but it's still only one player.

One very good player. It is a start for the spring which is where Woody lives and first time he has landed an elite prospect prior to that so in that sense he is ahead of where he has ever been.

No, I am just saying it is dumb how they all wait for that and then pick. What is the point. 

That's not what you said.  You said:  

"So funny how all these idiots change their pick based on Trilly 

joke"

 Not sure how that is different than what you did.  You had Fland coming to IU, but after the Trilly tweet you said that 'UK somehow outdid us to the shock of many and not just fans'.  So unless you are still saying Fland is coming to IU, you are also changing your pick based on Trilly.  How is it a joke for them to do so when you did the same?

Only 14 hours left to go!

I mean... these guys are supposed to be "insiders" or journalists... so if they are acting based on the same info as random dudes on a message board, that does kinda make them a joke.

Well for that argument then why assume he is right now? 

and yes, all those guys changing picks are changing based on him. They have no more info than they had an hour ago. That is why those CBs have become almost worthless. For sure the percentages. 

"UK somehow outdid us to the shock of many and not just fans."

You have no more info than you had an hour ago.....except for what Trilly said.

But some dudes on message boards are telling us to 'ignore the insiders, here is the real scoop'.

Well, for what it’s worth, Adam Howard changed his Twitter profile picture from “Mr. October” to an IU x NBA graphic. 
 

It’s true the signs really aren’t great. What can ya do? The staff swung for the fences, and that’s what we all have wanted as fans/alum. 
 

The direction is still up.

1. Queen


Lol—— Dylan Harper, Bryson Tucker, Travis Perry.

Portalszn probably.

We started 24 with so many great options. Queen has never felt like a fit from his side. He’s our next best option.

Wish we could have gained some traction on Boateng or Edgecomb.

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

I think posters were reading what they wanted into those Stranger Things gifs because it's in a fictional Indiana town.

Not really.  Trilly gifs really aren't hard to figure out.  I'm sure at that time he strongly felt Fland was IU bound.

[JSHoosier 19,741]

It's one player.  We have so and so on the roster.  We say these every year then another season comes and goes and where we didn't have the horses we needed.

 

McNeeley is a great addition.  IU has also shown over the years we can pull a 5* without stacking the talent needed.
