Several X accounts have said JP Estrella is now being linked to Kansas with the Jayhawks being the favorite. 

This is why I struggle to get real excited until the ink is signed.  Same as last year, we had guys allegedly and then last minute lost them.   Here’s the sad truth, if all else is equal, why do any of these top guys choose IU?  Unless a group of them want to band together and bring a brand that was hot in the 70s-early 90s back, I think expectations have to stay lower for the next couple years while hopefully the high school recruits come in, and change the culture and stay.  And I’ll be happy to be proven wrong should that happen….

Their prem 247 page says nothing about this, portal is always with a grain of salt

Good. Fine player but injury prone. We are also targeting a PG that is coming off an injury and I’d rather not press our luck too much on that category.

For sure just saw more than a handful in the last hour, burners are mostly ran by nobody's but they were neutral non-fan accounts and Kansas is searching for a Big Man in the portal

A first team Big East all defensive team is really nice.

Probably be at a bit of a family discount too, which allows for more spending on other needs.

As part of the guard rotation?1,000,000% yes for me.

Hell, we didn't even get any "my dad just got $27M from you all" discount from Tucker. He  my have actually got a nepo bump in pay over his valuation in reality.

As I have said, IU better be ready to overpay for talent at key positions. If it cost 4 mil apiece for two top players you are going to have to pay it.

Unless, you want to bargain bin for another mid-major roster and miss tourney, I recommend paying crazy numbers for 2-3 stars and filling in rest.

Whether its DeVries and staff not allocating resources correctly or being NIL poor, swimming in shallow waters again will tank era whether its their fault or not.

Its time to make an offer to a star that blows them away even if its 40%-50% of your budget. Thats what starts the train. Otherwise getting talent you need wont happen.

I could care less about Estrella whether he comes to IU or not. However, IU needs to overpay for p5 level big regardless of who it is.
