Just a FYI travis doesn’t know much, he regurgitates peegs info

I asked myself what would it take to be top 25 preseason and to be hyped for next season. 
 

adding Mgbako and a SG does it.  I mean, my expectations are always high, so that’s a given but man.  
 

And for me, Mgbako/(Dingle/A good guard) beats Ledlum/Knecht from an excitement level.  I’m not sure it’s a better team but WayneFleek would be hyped. Lol.

If it happens, we should thank Tennessee.

Appears that has come from Peegs

He's on Bleacher Report.....part of the IU community chat.

Yeah, Mgbako would definitely be more exciting than Ledlum.  Let's see who we can get for guard, hypothetically Dingle? Definitely a better combination than Ledlum/Knecht.

I would take one high caliber and another guard/wing rotational.  If IU were to get Mgbano alongside Ware and three rotational pieces, that’s a win IMO.

Very quiet

Mgbanko has kept his recruitment ver quiet.  Truly Donovan had stated that anything you hear released is likely to be a guess or made up.

[RaceToTheTop 24,421]

St.John’s added R.J. Luis today.  That’s two wings in a couple of days.  Unless Mgbank was looking to go to St. John’s exclusively as s PF, I don’t see him going there.

Reason this would be momentous in so many ways is we add another 5 star for the third year in a row and our chances of being a contending team in the B1G increase drastically as well as being top 25 (relevancy). We have a chance to add two (maybe three) to the NBA draft. His addition would be HUGE.

Yep. You get 4 maybe 5 draft picks over the course of 2 years and all the sudden recruiting hurdles start looking a little smaller against schools like Kansas, Duke, and Kentucky. This recruitment is huge for momentum in several ways.

He is reportedly very close to the Mgbako family and has been for several years.  He's also very well clued in on recruiting in general.

He also called out a NYT reporter for giving details that the Mgbanko’s didn’t want out as they said they wanted the recruitment quiet.  So I would expect that slater will only release things the family wants out there.

Think he screenshotted or quote-tweezed Adam Zagoria with rat and facepalm emojis when Zags broke the visits’ news (which was seemingly known but embargoed, and thus lots of confirmation stories ran from all sorts of places after) broke.

X- Best PG (and oldest) in B1G 

Gallo - 45% 3P% 

MM - 5*

Reneau- 5* 

Ware- 5* 

Good bench talent. Would say, with my extremely limited knowledge base, IU is a proven SG away from having most talented team this century

You know putting him in the line up already is bad luck right?
