He's a big time IU donor (lawyer) etc. And an old guy. Not your typical social media follower type. 

His son was my buddy's bookie at IU. If he's on here, that was a while ago :) .  Also, The Cuban follow probably was a bigger deal than I wanted to believe (because we've been burned with the following talk before). But a family friend went to a big donor event at U of I and per the IL staff, IU gets most its NIL money from Cuban.

This guy is just a nobody KU fan, but obviously their news is turning negative:

The KU board posted earlier is still confident.

ESPN has just announced they are running another commitment at 5:57.  If it runs over, you can switch to streaming of ESPNSUX in Portuguese to see the delayed video of MM

Mgbako is getting a BAG.

In general it probably pays to be one of the last 5 stars off the board due to scarcity

This just makes me sad for CBB as a whole

I am surprised that isn't on ESPN Ocho.

This means that they know that the selection is a B1G school…….so, IUBB IT IS!

 

just kidding!

It will change. But for now, it is what it is. But they will need to reign it in. CBB and especially the NCAA will not last unless they do.

If we do get this kid it tells me we are finally willing to do what needs to be done to roll with the big boys

I hope we are doing this. If we don’t, we just fall behind guys. We needed to get with the times

 

but I do agree with you

Surprised there hasn't been any crystal ball movement

It's just like that first Christmas after you learned Santa wasn't real... it's always worked this way, it's just out in the open now.

Wonder if Ken still rocks the red Mercedes convertible.

Nobody knows. And they aren’t willing to guess

I'm sorry, but I can't understand this mindset. At least it's fair now.

It's the same game as always, the NCAA just made it more visible with NIL.

Last minute discussion topic, if MM commits, he’s the biggest recruit since…?

Zeller?

Same as it has been for years and people didn’t know. Now, it is legal and going to the kids rather than endowments and coach salaries. Never saw a single person say it makes them sad when a coach got a $5 mil contract 

Yup. Rates have gone up but this is exactly what I’ve been talking about for about 20 years. People have been oblivious. It appears Indiana is finally in it to win it. I’m thrilled we are trying. Never any guaranteed Ws but talent helps.
