Wonder when he will set his decision date for. 

Man this would be a huge get...

Torvik says that if MM signs with Indiana, IU moves up 12 spots.  Meanwhile, Kansas stays the same (cause they are at 1).

12 spots to what spot?

Been a fun one to follow. Wonder if this had been a 2 year recruitment vs 2 week if it would've been as fun.

Bossi just said he doesn't expect it to take too long

Man this has been a fun one. If he wants to develop as a wing we sure have the minutes. 

We’ll see, but that just seems like the differentiating factor. If he wants to be a 15-18 min rotation piece, KU serves the same purpose as Duke. At IU he’s gonna get  Langford/Trayce freshman minutes in a role that he wants for a team that has a chance to be very good. It just makes a ton of sense.

40 minutes ago on a St. John's board they were still thinking they were in for Mgbanko.

If we land him it'd be an upgrade over what Ledlum would've been.

Do the math....I counted 6 smiles in the IU photos.... I counted 2.5 (Self's partial smile) in the Kansas photos. There it is! Go IU. lol

I think Self just had a mild case of gas.

I think we should send around a plate for a money offering to seal the deal.

I guess my gut feeling about UL yesterday was just gas.

I think the first part is literally happening. Not just us fans but some boosters are passing it around.

Does anyone remember how long it took Malik to commit after backing out at Florida?

I figure that KU might have limited resources after giving Dickinson a couple of million

Rumored price was $4-5 million

I'm still laughing at my "No News Tuesday" post less than 1 hour before.

I'm semi-confident here but I realize it's Kansas and Self we up against.  I think MM and family likely like Woody much better.  I wouldn't be surprised if he likes our roster too with the additions of Ware and Cupps from a personality standpoint.  Hard not to feel pretty good right now but i'm trying to Curb My Enthusiasm.

With Self you would to think about his health if you were a player. He did miss a few games late last season due to medical problems 

[monskisprodigy]

I'm trying to not let myself get too excited here...It makes logical sense to me to choose IU. Why decommit from Duke and choose another school where playing time will be about on par, with a likelihood you come off the bench. At IU, he starts day 1 and has a significant role and a chance to hear his name called early next year in the draft...but at the end of the day, Kansas and Self are enough alone to tilt the scale.

By a lot. This would be an enormous get…not only because Mgbako can take us to the next level but for optics too.
