Taking the visit means he hasn't decided.  We could land him but the so called smoke last night may have just been people overreacting.  We shouldn't be surprised when Alabama insiders feel good about their chance because visits always go well.

When have we ever overreacted when an insider gave us good insider information?

Today!

Honestly I’d be shocked to get him. Hopefully Alabama blows it, but let’s be honest.  
 

This recruitment was the Center version of the Love recruitment.

Besides that though.

Who is the insider? I just saw one guy going from one site to the other talking about the smoke from cryptic message by Rab.  Blah Blah Blah

Disagree on that.   Love never showed enough interest to visit and basically let the staff know he wasn’t interested.   Ware was interested enough to set up a visit and have left campus with a good impression.  Just got to see where it goes

It doesn't show any respect to take a free visit on another school's dime if you have made up your mind. If Ware takes the visit to Alabama, it means he hasn't made up his mind and Alabama has a chance to land him.

Unfortunately, I think Bana has a better shot if he indeed does visit. They're kinda the hot ticket right now.

One thing I like compare to Bama, their culture is a little, little bit questionable

Last night?  Each coaching hire thinking we're getting a big name?

They'll give it their best shot.

This is true, that might help us a bit.

Can’t tell if that is a joke or not….

Well, no one has to go to Bama in order to be unhappy.

So we wanted Love and couldn’t even interest him for a visit now?  I thought we didn’t want him because he takes 25 shots a game? Lol

Nah, he’s making a financial and basketball decision and Alabama has both of those things in spades.  Culture decisions are generally from the recruiting team towards the player and not vice versa.  And it’s easily explained as a one off.

What happen to all the Ledlum and knecht talk.

I generally agree - the only reason I have a little bit more of a "wait and see" approach here is because of Ware's alleged significant introversion. If he thinks he will be more supported/closely guided/provided with structure/developed by an NBA guy in Woody, he may choose us. Comparing that to the chaotic season Bama just had (potentially very draining for an introvert living that news cycle day in and day out) along with the fact it could be tougher for him to stay on the court there compared to IU, make me think he will take his time to assess and make a non-emotional decision.

We will find out soon enough! Okay, maybe not as soon as we'd like...

Who knows I just know he didn’t step foot on campus.  Either way not enough interest one way or the other for him to do a campus visit

Same stuff every-time. We are getting this coach or this player. The worst part is most of us even the ones who know better fall for it over and over.

Him turning us down Vs us going in a different direction are 2 different things.  

either way this Staff needs a W, and apparently so do the fans.

there is a program momentum arc with getting the guys you target and want. (We’ve had this and most of these discussions before)  

it’s a tough job out there.  The bright side is we have a lot of money to throw around so we will find some Hoosiers someplace.
