Does anyone know how many years of elig. Dix and Conwell would each have? And Tucker Devries too while you're at it?

All three have one more year left.

[Hoosierfanyuh]

Well Conwell is at Pike right now haha I wonder when his visit will start

I think Conwell is for sure 1 year but, can't Dix and TDV get 2 more years? (TDV 6th year and exemption for last season when he got hurt)

No. 

Dix has played 3 full seasons so this will be his last season barring a serious early season injury.

DeVries has played 4 seasons but last year was only 8 games due to his injury. This upcoming year will be his medical waiver year for last.

I thought Galloway and Leal's class was the last to get a COVID year.

TDV needs an exemption to play this year. Conwell and Dix are same class.

Sounds like were in good shape with Conwell. I think we get him today, and Dix tonight or tomorrow.

Thankfully we're past having to deal with COVID years.

This is more underrated than you think for the players too. 

A simple example... basically Maliks entire career he's played against guys 2+ yrs older than him. That changes dramatically this year.

I thought we'd heard Conwell might be following Sean Miller (and the majority of his staff) to UT. is that bad info, are we that confident Conwell is headed to IU?

I'm wondering how bidunga fits in to the frontcourt.  Will/can he play the 5?  Can he guard the 7'ers or will he need another big beside him?  Kind of seems undersized at 6'9"-6'10" and likely to put us in the malik reneau territory.  I haven't watched him enough to know.  What do you think?'

We are not playing two bigs.  Four is going to be DeVries and the four will always be a shooter.

Bidunga had great rebounding and block numbers at Kansas. Top 15 nationally in block rate. Top 100 nationally in offensive and defensive rebounding percentage.

Similar size to Reneau but totally different games. Bidunga is more athletic, less skilled offensively. More comparable to Tugler from Houston.

It sounds like that might be a possibility. Rabby thinks it'll be a battle for him between some big schools. The UL 247 guy seems to think it's mostly between IU and UL with Texas still a possibility but implies that he thinks IU might be the team to beat.

Seems like he's exactly the kind of big DeVries likes; rebounder, shot blocker, defender. Undersized, but doesn't play undersized. Think he would be a big get if they pulled it off.

I don't think Conwell is particularly set on following Miller - maybe he ends up there but that's not going to be the main driver of his decision.

Their trying, but getting him on campus and making a deal today is huge.

Communication issues, but I’m assuming it’s more on the administrative side compared to Woodson, but idk. That’s what he implied there is a communication issue.

Does anyone else think these burner accounts are tied to Hoosier Connect? They seem to be getting intel better than traditional sources. Could also be the communication issue the above link complained about.
