Unofficially...

As reported by a mod The Daily Hoosier on that site...

"...IU staff has been very confident about this since yesterday."  

"we got him."

Probably working out details of the NIL, etc.

It's not over until...Martha sings in SSAH and Ware is in the candy stripe pants.

And wouldn’t be surprised if last minute suitors are nipping at his heels. Give me an announcement and signing. Do portal transfers have to sign anything though? Or just enroll?

I don't typically go all in on players....but Ware is one I really, really want.  In terms of Dana Altman 'calling Ware out publicly'.....I think Altman is starting to come to the end of his time coaching, at least in Oregon.  His 'just fire me already' post game conference after only 3,000 fans showed up for their NIT game against Wisconsin says to me he's not happy at Oregon and I think might be showing in how he is handling his players.

The hit rate on top 10-ranked bigs is VERY good.

Here’s everyone 6’11” and taller in the 247 composite top ten since 2014. I’ve included a few notable players 6’10” and taller and noted them.

Jahlil Okafor, Karl-Anthony Towns, Harry Giles, Thon Maker, Mo Bamba, Deandre Ayton, Mitchell Robinson, Bol Bol, James Wiseman, Evan Mobley, Chet Holmgren, Dereck Lively, Kyle Filipowski, and Ware.

(Under 6’11” notables: Marvin Bagley missed by 0.5”, while Myles Turner, Skal Labissiere, Diamond Stone, Ivan Rabb, Henry Ellenson, Michael Porter, Wendell Carter, Jaren Jackson Jr., Jalen Duren, and Jabari Smith Jr. all missed by 1”.)

Every player was picked in the top 40 of the draft after their freshman season except Rabb, who was after his sophomore season. Lively and Filipowski will join that group this summer. All except Robinson, Stone, Ware (so far) , and Rabb were first round picks.

There’s a range of outcomes, clearly, but basically everyone on the list was either 1. a good college player, 2. a good pro, or 3. both. Even Skal was something better than a total bust.
