I mean listen, if anyone wants to read dubious tea leaves, he follows three guys on IG who’ll be on the ‘23-‘24 Hoosiers. Best I can tell, he only follows one corresponding Jayhawk.

How did we ever get through recruiting season back in ye olden days without Twitter and IG follows not to mention tracking flights?   lol

Exactly. Don’t believe the rumors unless it comes from Slater

I'd 100% agree with this except the 2 major rumors (visits to 4 schools & cancelling UL visit) were reported first by others (Zagoria & Louisville radio host). So someone is leaking info and my best guess would be UL staff. Since they are out of the picture, I think it's safer to say only believe Slater now.

NIL kinda sucks. College basketball will never be the same. It’s whatever because it’s a net gain for IU, but I still don’t like it. There are so many players in college football that NIL doesn’t have the same perception to me, even though I know the top guys there are getting millions too. 

Pretty much every professional sports organization realized that unfettered free agency wouldn't be financially viable long term.  Thus, we have salary caps, luxury taxes, rookie scales, etc.  NCAA will eventually need to come around and allow a certain pool of money be divided up among 13 (or 85 for football, etc.) players.  NIL would still be a thing, but it will have to be "legit" meaning a real business deal, not some fabrication by the boosters.  But I digress -- as the waiting is the hardest part.  TP.

Like that he is making the decision quickly. Maybe(probably) means nothing, but better than a longer process.

Aka saying his crystal ball is just a guess.

The word "Friday" shares 3 letters with "Indiana" and only 1 letter with "Kansas"..

Makes ya think..............

[Feathery 4,005]

Hoosiers. That’s my pick, both with my head and gut. 

[jbeaman9 1,021]

And yet even the first to do it says he doesn’t actually know. He is just hedging his guess bc it’s Kansas. Others are following his lead imo. Nothing to see here until Friday.

I will update this as needed. Keep finding those tea leaves, family!

To any outsiders, if you asked them to predict Kansas or IU, most would pick Kansas. That's just where we are as a program right now. We don't have the "homecourt advantage" on this one like we had with Romeo and JBJ. 

[Bowhunter 2,693]

I don’t know which way it goes but sometimes it’s better to be not chosen a couple days before and then when news gets out everyone switches to the correct school. We’ve been on both sides of that. 

[jbeaman9 1,021]

Short turnaround to decision after cancelling the last visit and IU still being the most recent...my gut....

 

Kansas

I say this for two reasons. 1. Its how nearly all of these high profile recruitments end up for us, especially against the big dogs. 2. I love reverse psychoology
