Maybe, maybe not. Would think Louisville will make a hell of a push here because they were in on both of the Adidas PG’s and aren’t even getting a visit from Rippey. Imagine they’ll empty the piggy bank on this one. But IU can do the same if they want to and the kid with the Adidas NIL deal is only visiting 3 Adidas schools. So it’s certainly worth watching closely. Personally I’ve always thought Rippey was the more likely of the 2 for IU, but we’ll see. 

Really like Rippey but wow that kid has a very strong list of suitors

Why was 6 afraid of 7?

Because 7 8 9.

I wouldn’t focus on this one much moving forward. It’s a real long shot

Yeah, I think we will miss several on this type of action. Going after a big budget teams number 1 or 2 isn’t going to end well for us.

While I think we are top 15-20 overall we won’t overspend on a single guy so these type of recruitments aren’t likely to go our way.

Cancelled his Texas and Miami visits, per Tipton, which leaves just Arkansas remaining. So this might wind up a little sooner than anticipated.

Is this NIL related or because we are pushing hard for someone else and feel good about them?

IU isn't willing to pay as much as Louisville or Kansas and they feel pretty good about someone else right now.

Hmmm who is the mystery man, if you don’t mind sharing?

Probably a dumb question, but why did he bother to visit? Just to leverage a better offer from Louisville & Kansas? 

Obviously a lot of nuance in recruiting, especially now, but seems like a waste of everyone's time if IU had no realistic shot.

Ya never know how a first choice program can melt down. If the coach gets arrested and fired it’s good to know about your other choices.

Unless you’re Price Alex Moody or Latrell Allmond. Then it’s IU and only IU.

Would it be safe to assume that someone is Junior County?

It's not exactly a mystery
