Thanks

So to summarize:

1) we most likely are going to get Wilkerson

2) one of our future assistants is completing  exit paperwork with his Elite8/FF team

3) another of our assistants is completing exit paperwork with the Celtics (promised to be head coach in waiting)

4) still need a PG, rim protector and depth.

I haven’t heard 2/3, where’s that from? 
 

3 seems especially odd since DeVries is only 50, is that a joke I’m not catching on to?

Are we speculating the Bama asst is still coming to IU?

Admittedly dumb humor.

Brad Steven’s as an assistant

I think the Houston kid could have gotten a shot off.

Tourney is over.

5/6 of Florida’s main rotation guys were portal dudes and ALL 5  of them transferred from non-power conferences. Kind of crazy. 
Looking forward to seeing what we put together.

Something pretty interesting about their transfer portal targets, they didn’t look for sexy stats such as 18 PPG. They looked at defensive rebound %, steal percentage. The rest is pure coaching. I hope CDD can coach at this level.

And UH really beat itself down the stretch. Especially the last 2 possessions, just really bad decisions on the ball, dribbling into 3 players with 2 guys open on either side then jumping into the air with plenty of time and not even attempting the shot, just a crazy bad ending for UH, it beat itself 

Emmanuel Sharp and his family thank you for not mentioning his name!

I like him

Do we know if there are any visits scheduled after the dead period?  I have seen Wilkerson but any others that we know of?

[HoosierFan1994 5,301]

I've seen some get worried about other schools reaching out to Wilkerson. 

1) I don't think Mark Pope, Todd Golden, and Bruce Pearl woke up on April 8th and all of a sudden just decided to go after him. I'm sure they have been pushing hard for weeks. (OT but Hunter Dickinson on the F68 podcast was saying the schools still playing aren't behind. They're doing things behind the scenes.)  In fact, look at it like this: when you're going after the same players like UK, Florida, or Auburn that is a good sign. Would be a problem if Indiana was battling Cal, Stanford, etc for him. 

2) Could very well be agent trying to get his guy more $$$ from IU. 

3) Not that it is ever 100%, but it's a good thing when guys like Trilly or Nakos make predictions. I feel they would normally say something like "IU is in the mix" instead of a prediction if something substantial didn't happen.

I have not seen any visits scheduled for sure. Some speculation, but that's about it. Very little info is getting out.

J.R and company are good dudes and I like their shows (especially during football season) but I doubt he has inside info. Could be wrong but doubt it. Definitely recommended people check them out though, again especially during football season.

One of the NBA draftniks I trust really likes Elyjah Freeman…I already like him but I hope he’s a Hoosier.

[Soulsnipes 149]

What about Adam's with a connection to Dillon Mitchell from Montverde?

And they are doing work out of some breakfast nook in the corner since Woody still has not given up his office.

It takes some time to get all that sanitizer to work that get that mediocre-ness out of that office.  We don't need that stuff around.

Interesting IMO that Mgbako, Tucker, and Carlyle have not signed anywhere yet.  Obviously not coming back to IU but I would have thought that Mgbako and Tucker would be zeroing in on places.  I know Mgbako visited Kentucky but that was a little while ago.
