Serious question, what good is it for a journalist to "know" something, if he can't share it with his audience? Personal enrichment?

Saying "I already knew that" after news is public is meaningless.  

Well, it's mostly helpful because then they can pre-write a story so it's ready to go when the news breaks. Sometimes journalists will have two versions of a story like this ready to go. Knowing ahead of time allows them to get on the same page with their key stakeholders. 

This is useful because it A) demonstrates to their contacts they can be trusted with information B) that helps them build a relationship C) That creates opportunity for the staff to help shape the narrative around the program. 

So, it's less that getting the scoop beforehand is directly helping the journalist but indicative that they're doing their job well according to the people they're covering - which they need to keep happy for those instances where they can "break news" publicly

If we don’t get MM……. I don’t even want to predict what will happen next. If we don’t get him what’s next bank the scholarships? Get 5th year senior role players? This is the one we need. Get him and draws a little more excitement and maybe land 1 more solid portal player.

There are other players in the portal that can help IU next year. As exciting as MM? No, but adding some scoring punch at the 2 & 3 is still a need, so you gotta keep going.

Seems a little dramatic. No doubt we’d benefit from landing a high profile commit, but there are other factors and players that could still play in our favor for next year. 

The portal is closed. Dingle committed somewhere else. If we fail to land MM too, where do we turn to save our weak perimeter game?

Andrew Taylor and Tyrin Lawrence we know there is contact with.  Julian Phillips is a wing who didn't shoot well from deep but has potential there.  There are many less exciting options like Mike Adams-Woods and from Cincinnati and Jaylen Sellers of Ball State out there.  I would honestly be fine adding a guy like Sellers if MM commits and call it a day.

MM commits, get Taylor - we’re set.

EDIT: Will this thread hit 100 pages before 6 pm??
