I would do the same, should be IU, but it will probably be Kansas

Maybe these so called experts are thinking that there’s no way that he would choose Indiana over Kansas.

or more likely they've never turned but our perceptions have.

Only thing I don't really like is the Tweeter activity of Nick Timberlake and Dickinson. Everything else seems to blow IUs direction. Oh well, we will find out soon enough.

But the ‘his mom accidentally gave it away and then quickly deleted the post’ is this generation’s ‘celebrity X had to get their stomach pumped because of the amount of’ myth.

Wait, you mean to say that Donnie Wahlberg having his stomach pumped due to too much man juice was a myth!? ;)

If it happens and based on the late transfer portal entries from Kansas I kinda expect it, they will have 2-3 guys coming off the bench that would start at pretty much any school.

This recruitment is so hard bc every single tidbit has been told to ignore but some actually were true, like Rabby saying they were going to cancel Louisville. The IU visit was not immediately on the heels of the KU visit. They could’ve canceled after still stating they were going to take it. I’m ready to be let down but I’m still feeling a little optimistic here.

Andrew Slater's last comment was that it was down to 2 choices. I'm going with that until there is a public airing otherwise. And confirmed by independent and reputable source(s). 

...so what's the latest rumor?

Man. Does anybody want our $$$? :(

Timberlake's only twitter activity was a retweet of Dickinson's.

It's probably the smart choice for them especially if they don't have solid information.  Kansas has money and a recent history of winning; IU has money and hasn't won with any consistency since before these kids were born.

Naw he threw around some likes as well.

I’m beyond caring about likes.  That gets into silly season IMO.

I don't disagree and only went to check because I saw a tweet talking about it lmao. Who knows they both could be trolling but the 3 tweets in a row that he liked doesn't look great.

KU board poster claims it's IU, yesterday, said the entire staff is following mom on social.  Who the heck knows at this point, let's all enjoy the rollercoaster ride before we get sick of all the ups and downs, lol.

The Carmelo Anthony stuff is a little disingenuous. He was in Denver for 8 seasons before going to the Knicks and was already an NBA superstar. That had nothing to do with Woodson. 

That's about as glass half-empty of a statement that could ever be made about Woodson. He's a mentor to Melo. Go back to the Kansas board! Haha.

I love the ride. Not much into the NBA (will watch the later half of playoffs) so this is good entertainment. Gives me something to do while "working".

My point is does Mike Woodson have more knowledge on how to motivate and knows what type of work ethic goes into becoming a Melo after spending 4 seasons with him or does Self know with 1 year of 18-19 year old Wiggins what it takes to become what Wiggins has reached?

Not to mention Mike had an 11 year career himself. If a player had the same exact NBA career that Mike had they’d probably make over 100 million in todays NBA. He KNOWS what it takes to train and make the NBA but also to have. SUSTAINABLE career.

Would be a great get, could be the smoke is true and he ends up at Kansas.  Regardless, got to keep plugging ahead because whether or not we have him we have at least spot to fill.

[bigrod]

Has anyone reached out to M&M's about a NIL deal? Seems like a good fit.

[lillurk]

If the crystal ball/futurecast picks are the only smoke this morning, I wouldn’t worry to much just yet. He may well pick KU but unless it’s Slater, Mack himself, or a Trilly Donovan tip, I don’t know that it means much.
