15 scholarships next season, recruit as if he gets denied but save a spot for him just in case

Listening to Osterman on a podcast the other day and he said you still only get 13 full scholarships. The roster limit is at 15 which means you no longer can have 5-7 walk ons any longer. He stated that the last few spots could be provided with partial scholarships like baseball does. You can't sign 15 scholarship players to full rides.

I agree. I thought we would have heard more names by now. I think it's because they are either in the running for a head coaching job or still coaching in the tourney. 

Preston > tourney 

Frazier > wants WVU job, seems like it’s going to hodge though 

Adams > TBD

Barnett > in running for oral Robert’s job

i think that covers it from what I’ve gathered. 
 

also saw rod Clark’s name floated and he’s also in the tourney

Im curious about this 15 number I keep hearing.  No way coaches are going to use 15 spots are they?  Only way to use it effectively would be to redshirt about 3 players every year and very few are interested in that.  Seems like its a good way to give 2-3 walk-ons a scholarship officially.

Point still remains but that is interesting!

This answers my question better and makes sense

Look at my above post because you still only have 13 scholarships to give out

Most wouldn’t recruit 15, a lot teams didn’t even do 13 this year haha

exactly, that's my point.  Makes more sense after explained above

Indy star released an article earlier saying there would be no staff announcement until everyone is final to announce all at once.

Well, no matter what, it looks like the roster is going to be significantly different next year, which is a good thing. I'm glad to see that DDV isn't necessarily worried about trying to keep the roster somewhat entact. That was obviously one of Archie's big problems.

He seems like a big culture guy, which is exactly the opposite of what Woodson was, so there's zero chance that the majority of the guys on the roster are going to fit his vision of what the team culture should be. The number of 15+ blowouts are evidence of that. 

I'm all for him blowing up the roster and starting over. Even if it's not a Sweet 16 team next year, I'm fine with that. Build up the culture of the program. I want a consistent, long-term winner, not a short-term, one-year success. I know with the portal you can hypothetically do both, but if there is a question about whether you have more pure talent or a better culture in year one, you go with a better culture and slightly less talent and win a few less games.

With 15 roster spots there isn't much risk in waiting if needed. If the NIL and rev share numbers we're seeing are even accurate, a full scholarship wouldn't even be needed, just up those numbers enough to cover what the scholarship would've.

That would be incredibly stupid.

In Trent Sisley's interview with Coyle today, Trent confirmed the obvious -- Tucker Devries is a Hoosier!

It also said the coaches who aren’t announced will steer working behind the scenes. It seems like a weird approach but I don’t think it will handicap anyone.

That would mean they resigned from their current jobs and their school isn’t releasing that or making public which is odd. You can’t be employed by WVU for example and recruit for Indiana.

what is the advantage of waiting here?

You still only get 13 scholarships with the roster limit of 15

I think we are going to see a different but better type recruiting at IU than we’ve been used to in a while. 
As we are all aware by now, Coach DeVries wants a cohesive and working locker room. 

I assume he is really doing his research on the players he wants and thinks will fit best into his model.
