Have been following this recruitment and thread as much as anyone over the last several days, but 53 pages for a two week recruitment is just absurd lol.

Props to BtB, let's hope this goes our way Friday.

Rob Cassidy, pretty much said he is guessing and wouldn’t bet on it

[JSHoosier 21,814]

What good wings are left in the transfer portal?  There were some solid guards left, we're in trouble if we have to rely on the likes of Walker.

The bigger question is, has their been a silent verbal to one or both of the staffs to increase the confidence level.  It doesn't seem like Indiana got one but the family wants things quiet and the staffs generally seem to be fulfilling those wishes.  Is HDick trolling or is his tweet come with the confidence for foreknowledge?  I guess we find out Friday unless there is a leak.

 

My thing is, If its not us, we need to know and be recruiting next targets as the transfer portal closes tomorrow.  

Coaches get silent verbals all the time from kids on visits not sure how many actually pan out.   It would be curious to see how many kids have told IU they were committing and then went elsewhere.  I can think of a couple that where obvious 

Dickinson looks to be a college kid having fun with social media.   I don’t pay attention but some do.  I would guess IU’s players have stuff on their accounts that is related to this recruitment

Dickinson literally just picked Kansas a week ago. I still can't wrap my mind around why anyone would think he knows anything or would be someone the KU coaches would share anything with.

We still have Kaleb Banks, who is very promising.

[Alford Bailey 12,859]

We will know Friday according to Slater

Didn't this dude just start the IU beat in April? I also think he graduated from ILL so he can't know too much.

Oh really? Then he is probably just jumping on the bandwagon then for KU predictions

We needed a good portal season and improvement from returning players.  We've gotten a center with potential and have to hope returning players make big jumps.

90% of the people worrying about his pick had to google who he was when they saw his name.  Lol honestly never heard of the guy until today

I'm going to go with closer to 100%. Had never heard of him

Landing on “everyone’s still guessing.” Not gonna sweat the CBs etc. until we get some indication otherwise. 

And I get why they’re guessing KU, though I think even without crimson-colored glasses, IU makes tons of sense.

My pretzel logic ferreting amalgamation bifurcation system is just now about to reach the red zone.  Danger, danger!!  Almost everyone is overthinking this recruiting.  I think.

Occam's razor clearly gives us the answer.  Just look at the pictures released by the Jayhockers and the Hoosiers.  Woody and M&M are glowing up as fam.

In the enhanced photos from the blue side, no one is wanting to be seen there. 

Every single marketing professional knows that the last interview closes successfully the preponderance of the time.

The recruiting world has tilted to IU and our coaches.  Take it to the bank of the Jordan River in Dunn Meadow.

 

Why did I read this with Bill Walton's voice?

[Sardinefarts1991 213]

Friday can't come soon enough.... Man ohh man.  Sure does fill a major need.

 

My gut says he's ours.  Looking at that video of him and Woody, just strikes me as ...he's ours.  I'd put money on it in our favor. 

[TheWatShot 15,049]

I'd rather the CB picks be for Kansas at this point. I've seen far too many times where we got the picks early and then they all started to flip the night before the announcement.

I had to go to Twitter and search for him. He started the IU beat on April 11th

My theory is that @Chris007 has not changed his tone and said we are firmly in it, until he chimes in that its unlikely or a wrath of CBs come in on Friday i will tone out the noise

We are firmly in it and I don't think anyone knows right now where he is going, including Mgbako himself. I think he has some ideas but nothing firm yet. Just my opinion though
