Pretty ridiculous take on tyme's part.

That "reality" he's waiting for UCONN to come back down to has been winning like 5 national championships in the last 25 years.

No doubt. That’s a pure hater tweet.

Yeah, when you do something for the 3rd time in basically 50 years, you DO walk on water.

I felt like I gave a couple of different views, and updates last night. There is not much out there other than it's either UCONN or IU. The kid hasn't decided yet, he's on vacation with his family. UCONN offers great NIL money, best program in CBB right now. IU is offering more money, it's closer to home and changing offense to fit his style. I think both programs will make sure family has travel expenses. Everyone is guessing beyond that. 

Thank you always for your updates and being patient with the rest of us when we bug you.

“Good thing he LM back”

someone break that down for me.  Is this a Liam McNeely reference?

All good. You guys are like my crazy cousins. I can't stand to see you in person but I don't mind texting with you.

I read it as Luke Murray.

If it were me, and I did not think the guys Uconn signed would negatively impact my playing time I would have to strongly consider going there or holding off on decision until i see what this new offense at IU looks like.  

He’s not going to know the offense that IU runs on October 23rd.

[Hoosierfanyuh]

It’s Luke Murray, he’s is the one that essentially had Hurley change his offense

He doesn't seem so confident today.

I don't see anything.

Yeah, that's what mine says too. I'm starting to think I'm not going to get a Christmas card this year.

I'm not sure how you can read anything into Mullins' recruitment on that.  Has nothing to do with it.

And if Tyme is just a mouthpiece for the university, wouldn't make sense for him to bash Hurley if he feels that Mullins is U Conn bound....would seem like he would be doing the opposite, complimenting the guy who 'got him over Woodson'.

Just seems to me like a post about Hurley's reaction to another Twitter account.  I did find it strange that a coach would take offense at *gasp* a computer model putting U Conn ninth to start the year, and has nothing to do with Mullins.

That’s not what it’s about. Hurley has been running his mouth and negatively recruiting against IU with multiple recruits. He’s taking shots at IU anyway he can.

So who are you saying ‘isn’t as confident as they were yesterday’?

 

I don’t follow what you are saying.

I’m not sure what negative recruiting is in this context. “We’ve won 2 Naty’s and they couldn’t make the tournament with a lottery pick on the roster and a big time kid bailed on them because their offense doesn’t generate looks and now he’s here because ours does. And he’s a friend of yours, right? Feel free to check in with him,” strikes me less as “negative recruiting” and more like “lay of the land”. The way you combat that is to exceed expectations.

He knows what the offense will look like. Whether it’s a game or practice it’s not going to change

Looks like in practice and how effective it is in games could be different.

Which would tell me, as a recruit or his parent, that the repeat champion sees something at IU. If he were secure enough to let his program and accolades talk, then he would do just that. He shouldn't have to negative recruit against anyone....but there's a reason he feels like he needs to against particular programs.

Seems to me he wouldn't be worried about us at all then. Just point to the recent banners.

Cringe, as IU fans point to the 5 banners from way back when.

I'd bet the family jewels Mullins has heard the banner age comparison more times than he can count. It's low hanging fruit, but if that's their game I get it.
