Last thing I'll say tonight: Coach DeVries could land the 92 dream team for next year. He has to start winning this season. Most of us were excited last year about the portal haul and it resulted in nothing. I'm very optimistic about the program going forward. I get the frustration though...we are all tired of mediocre basketball. 

That is the most important thing.  He is going to have to win out of the gate.  I get the whole "We want guys that want to be here" thing but in order to have the type of program I think we all want, there is a certain ability level that is going to be required too.

As much as I might dislike Tyme from the Woody era, he is clued in better than ANYONE else affiliated with Indiana. That includes Rabjohns. He’s been wrong. His evaluation of talent kinda sucks. Lol. But he’s got his finger on the pulse more than anyone else publicly sharing info.

Ius pitch I know you are on your 4th coach in 4 years but we can give you a lot of money in your last year of college but as of now we have 2 kids on the roster.  I can show you how we like to play and you got to have faith we can build you a roster good enough in your last year 

Louisville pitch.  You have last year as proof of how you will play in your last year of college and who is on the roster currently.    Got a stud guard coming in and another stud portal guard.   We are going to shoot a ton of threes regardless.  You will get your shots and we have a lot of money.

No, I don't think Devries wanted to spend that much money on Conwell.  That's allegedly 40 percent of the low end of the range we've been given.  Texas didn't get a visit, which means they were not willing to spend what IU did, and that's the guy he got coached by last year.

It seems that it's very likely U of L and Indiana are at the very top of NIL, and he knew we were willing to spend, so he got an offer, went down there and got one from them, likely called his agent, and we didn't match.

He took his visits in this order for a reason, and it was out there he was committing this week.

I don't believe the 4M number. And if you think it's likely he called his agent and we didn't match - as you put it, DDV didn't want to spend that much on Conwell - then we weren't outbid. We passed in your scenario. 

Or if you assume we were willing to match - because if the number was actually 2M (much more likely number IMO) I would have assumed we would be willing to meet that. Because why wouldn't you pay him that when you've got supposedly anywhere from 7-11M to spend and need to build a roster from scratch. He was the first guard brought on campus. You don't think DDV wanted to spend what it took to land him?

I don’t dislike him, just don’t think those numbers seem accurate.

I think the angst is because we have like 11 spots to fill and a **** ton of money and so far have (maybe) landed a back up guard.  It is early, but this has been a slooooow start.

It ain't how you start, it's how you finish!

Agree.  If Reneau was getting 1.8 million then IU was spending over half their NIL on Reneau and Ballo alone.

We don’t have a foundation yet, can be hard to be one of the firsts

[RaceToTheTop 31,286]

And I would just like to hi to Tyme as we know he reads this board and then tweets.

Don’t have on court proof for that though just words.   Kelsey can show the tape where they fired up 3s left and right

Yep. Sounds like Brownell’s agent thought it was a possibility. Knowing how Dolsen does stuff, he was one of our options.

regardless of the result, we’re probably going to miss on other people too, just how the portal is, get a team that’ll compete. Portal doesn’t close til apr 22. Im excited for the potential foreign tour we’re going to do so we can get an early sneak peek

Wonder why he wasn’t talked about at all ? Seems like he had huge upside would have been a nice bring over from WV . 
 

oh well not a fun start but there is still a ways to go hopefully we get a pick me up soon .
