Transfer Portal w IU Interest

[Home Jersey 15,703]

Not trying to light everyone’s hair on fire, and in no way saying this is actually the case, but… seeing Conwell, a kid from Indy, choose Louisville over IU when money was probably roughly equal (have a hard time imagining we’d let ourselves be beat there) and presumably he’d have even more carte Blanche of the offense here… it makes me think about Ballo’s video at the end of the year talking about fans sending death threats and what a poor light that put the fanbase in. The fact players should ignore chirping on social media aside, think it would be silly to pretend they don’t take notice of comments like that. Again in no way saying that’s the specific reason for anybody passing on IU but eventually perception becomes reality and instead of seeing all the good stuff, outsiders can get hung up on if they want all the trouble that comes with it… JMO

U of L gets Conwell according to Draft express 

Must've been scared off by Enright commitment.

Is it okay to be pissed at a college athlete?

From Indianapolis, wants to play everywhere surrounding but here.

We have money, I have no doubt we’re going to get a few dudes, has to be spent some how lol

Get ready for 2 mil on Josh Dix and 1 each on Hansberry and Riley. 
Id take a DDv coached team of Enright/Tucker/Dix/Hansberry/filler over whatever we had last year but damn that’s underwhelming. 
 

Ryan Conwell was the guy. I’m not gonna get over this one for awhile

One thing Coach DD needs is someone who has been there with him.  Knows his system, his expectations, and can help others get over that hump, so to speak.  

Maybe someone like his son?

Wow... mind blown.

So let me get this straight we break the bank to get top tier talent for the lazy guy who can’t coach but we can’t do the same for an actual coach.  Smfh

[WayneFleekHoosier 51,277]

Rodney Rice isn’t as good as Conwell. Maybe we go there.

Maybe we get the Enright money back and try to get Braden Smith over Kentucky tomorrow.

The winning teams make winning moves. Being an Indiana fan feels like a Cubs fan.

Seriously hope the Preston Murphy pipedream is alive because he’d help us get the kind of talent we need. I think.

I felt much better about Conwell. Some were making it out to seem that being close to family was going to be important. 

Well UL is only 2 hours from Indy

Josh Dix knows he has us over a barrel now and just upped his NIL ask by another 500k

Are we sure he’s that much better than Luke Goode?

Considering he can actually dribble the ball, yes lmao

Maybe we can overpay for Jakobi Gillespie and steal him from Tennessee. Nah.

I think this is a very poor excuse. Read the comments to any school after a loss. I’ve seen death threats to UK recruits when they’ve chosen other schools.

He’s gonna get paid and where a lions share of the nil money is going if we’re skimping on guys like Conwell

I don't think these things help in any way

I don’t hear UK players complain about it to the media like Ballo did. That doesn’t get covered like Woodson’s farewell tour, hashing out how poorly the fans treated him lol

All attention toward Dix. Remember we’re building a team not a collection of talent. Still pretty bummed about Conwell though. 

Losing Conwell stings…and to Louisville of all places after literally picking up Woorley 24 hours earlier. Man oh man that is a bummer. Louisville might arguably have the best backcourt in the country next year. 

[HoosierFan1994 5,313]

Guys relax....Ryan Conwell is not bigger than the program. He isn't the savior. Yes, he's a really good player from an hour away. Would have LOVED to have had him. It sucks to lose him. There is going to be way more out there. Let's also keep in mind Indiana already has probably one of the top guys in the portal with Tucker. 

What I'm most excited about going after players like Conwell/Dix is this: We finally have a coach after 8 years who values shooting the ball. Let's see how things look in a few weeks.
