Heading to Creighton 

This always felt like the likeliest outcome, didn’t it? If the home stuff really was a factor he’s now near there playing for a great program and a great coach in a major conference and in a system he’ll thrive in. Unless the money just wasn’t close I’m honestly surprised if it was that tough a choice.

Everyone panic at once!!!! (I really wanted him)

Dix to Creighton - who picked that one? Not even the Creighton people thought that was happening - means he wanted to be close to his mom while she's sick - makes me want him more. Solid choice Dix. Money may or may not come but you only get so many opportunities to be there for family. 

I was also told that he had dinner with Freeman last night to clear the air. It must have worked

On to the next. Ugh. Was really starting to imagine our team with him on it.

Just seems like every time there's some underlying reason for a target to base his decision on, it never works out in our favor.

When he first went into the portal Creighton was the early favorite to go along with Freeman.   Every premium site posted that.  Then stuff came out Creighton couldn’t pay both and Dix didn’t want to play with Freeman.   Creighton was always there.  My guess that’s where he wanted to go from the beginning and they stepped up and paid the money

Yea.  Though I can rationalize he was a one year guy and I get why he went to Creighton.

I would like to sign some players soon (whoever coach likes).  We've got a lot of roster openings, more than most teams, Coach you gotta spend that $11M WAR CHEST. 

Also, I am getting a little annoyed more of our staff is not announced yet.  For eff's sake IU get moving, tell the lawyers to get whatever needs done, done asap.

You can't beat the pull of family unfortunately when your mother is sick.  It sucks, but there are over 2k in the portal.

We might need to check our money. Is it counterfeit? No one seems to want it yet. I'm kidding it's still way early

Yes.   When he first entered it was the school everyone thought.   Geography wins out in most these recruiting battles unless you are Duke, Kansas, North Carolina or Kentucky

So much for IU feeling good about Dix...

I'm not sure why, but my head went straight to Beverly Hills Cop and the illegal counterfeiting in Happy Forest.

Maybe we've made the strange decision to target players who value other things besides money.

Great movie. At this point we might have a better chance of getting Axl Foley

[Hoosierfanyuh 5,526]

I’ll always say as long as they don’t go to another b1g program I can get over it haha

Geography + McDermott runs a hell of an excellent program.

 

[IU5355 814]

Can't blame Dix at all. Family should always come first. 

With that being said, is anyone else atleast getting a little concerned at this point?
