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?

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]

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.

To land multiple 5 stars in the fall, I think we're gonna need at least one S16 run under our belt. To ngw's point... this program is building back from a deep hole. Feels similar in a way to Brian Kelly resurrecting ND football. You gotta produce on the field/court to land a deep and talented class consistently year after year. Final thought of the night. 

Looking forward to Boogie shocking the world tomorrow lol

Yep.  At the end of the season the talk was about how much we were losing and how bad we could be in 2023-24.  Today's basketball landscape isn't yesterdays.  The portal opens up so much, not only in portal players but in decommits as well.

I like your optimism.  

[IUHoosier5]

In an effort to be positive and realistic right now, it’s worth mentioning that IU is still in great shape for spring 2024 and 2025. 
 

If this development holds true, getting MM and Ware to the NBA as 1st round picks becomes extremely important. That would be 4 players in 2 years, and spring 2024/2025 would have more evidence that Woodson and staff get their top recruits into the NBA “on schedule.” 
 

The culture has a great foundation, and the track record can only improve. Win more, send these two guys to the NBA, develop Malik, Gunn, and Banks to “future NBA players” and more flashy recruits will choose the Hoosiers. 
 

It’s a setback but not an insurmountable one in the grand scheme of things.

We have the NIL to pull it off. Gotta find the guys. With hardly any left it’s portalszn. I’m telling y’all McNeeley was expecting this 3 man class as well. Maybe we still get Queen. I imagine we can find a Boogie type talent in the transfer portal too but we better build a top 25 preseason team. We are trying to build a top 10 team just can’t quite get the horses. I honestly kinda feel bad for McNeeley in this. Recruited 2 guys during his own commitment.
