Transfer Portal w IU Interest

[NIUF 35]

Yeah the rankings don't mean anything it's just someone's opinion. Look at Kansas they had 3 highly ranked transfers. What did they get out of it. It's about the fit that's what Self said money thrown away. You've gotta go after 2 or 3 year guy's. Unless it's a 1 year guy who fits your team culture.

The big $$$ is the overriding factor.  He’s learning about coaching…which is his future unless he has some other serious business interests etc.  Maybe he’ll give playing overseas a shot.  Who knows.  He was a disappointment at IU, imo.  He’s not tremendously gifted as a player…at the college level.

Listened to a West Virginia podcast earlier and they said that Frazier was not going to stay if Hodge was hired.  Not sure if accurate but that may free him up should he want to follow to Indiana

You say that with some spite. Were there issues with Cupps?

Just not my cup of tea. He and his people pushed his own agenda. The only thing I ever heard was that he wasn't the greatest with other students. But nothing team-wise.

When so we think we'll have names of players in this thread? There was a random tweet out their from an account belonging to "coach" that said their were several big names in our future. Just paraphrasing....

It's day 3 of a 30 day window and Connor Enright is scheduled for a visit.

His dad is an interesting fella that I met during my time in Ohio. He was pushing a book that was an inspirational semi-fictional tale of coaching and leadership.

Anyone know our chances with Powell?

It's just a 30 day window to announce, not to commit to a new program.

There is also thought in some quarters that schools are going to be more stealth in the portal to avoiding publicizing their interest in players, to help with NIL negotiation.

I am guessing that there are probably player(s) that have ties with unannounced assistants that will be coming to IU.

The “coach” account is a troll, no real info there.

Wondering if the lack of activity is related to this.

It’s been as badly of a rule implemented as ever. And agents are taking advantage of it.” — Kevin Willard on @team980" / X

Like no one ever saw this coming.  All it takes is 1 coach to give in for the kid to get that big pay day.

True but do you spend your entire NIL on 1 to 2 kids?

Kevin Willard is being a bit sensationalist.  

The money is exploding mostly because the rev share is starting this year.  This will add $2-6M to player payroll depending on the school, which is about 66% to 100% increase in player payroll over last year depending on the school.  Therefore, players are asking for a lot more this year.

NIL has basically no guardrails or rules, fair enough.  Though pre-NIL was to some extent too if you think about all the under the table payments.

However, the rev share does have guardrails and rules.  It's capped.  Players will sign real contracts with universities to play sports for the first time ever (keep in mind NIL contracts could not include anything about playing, which is dumb but true).

What's happening seems pretty understandable.  I don't think players or agents are any more wild than they were last year.  It's just the rev share starting.

Good info, thanks for posting

It's still 6 days until April 1st. No way this guy is accurate. In the comments he does say maybe over 2 years. That account has a whopping 295 followers.
