Recruiting tidbits turned into Wilkerson is going to take some visits, and IU will probably get one

We are going to have some new assistants but I don't know who any of them are.

Our first weekend visit is going to be Reed Bailey, who is already committed.

As I said, it's hard to get info so far with the new staff, so I don't feel bad when I see this is what Rabby and others are getting. 

On Rivals, there is an interview with Risley who said that DeVries is negotiating with a bunch of players and expected 4-5 commits by the end of the week.  This is coming from a former players call with DeVries and Dolson.

Well Risley won’t be on any more calls

Supposedly the call happened this week also.  So who knows.

Much like Luke Goode, Brzovic's career is subject to pending NCAA intervention.  He's used his eligibility and has a pending lawsuit.  There's a link within the link below that discusses the lawsuit.  In the current environment, he likely wins and gets another year but there's no guarantee at this point in time.

Why would he get the extra year, because he was at Div II for a year?  Do they still have the graduate transfer for that 5th year?

Is a signed recruit allowed to visit during a quiet period?

I think the dead period ends tomorrow night.

The last day of the quiet period is tomorrow so the weekend is definitely allowed. 

I'm just guessing at the answer to your question but, knowing the NCAA, probably not.

[ronzo4IU 398]

In this new era of free agency I’m not sure what purpose the dead period serves…seems like a bunch of baloney.

He also said the staff liked to keep things private, so, if expect inside info to be at a minimum for portal season 

This is a fantastic sign of professional competence.

A professional, competent, effective program leader tells his staff to closely hold information with no exceptions or screw ups... and they completely do so?

That is exactly what I want to see.

How sure are we that IU is even in the top 10 of NIL? BYU Louisville, Duke look to all be big spenders.

Edit: $4M of the Dyabantes deal is probably from BYU NIL, the rest from other deals not associated with the school at all. Still, that's $7.5M on 2 players. Can't spell "buy" without "BYU."

Edit 2: I totally put this in the wrong thread. I meant to put it in the general transfer portal thread since I don't think IU was pursuing him. Oops.

It would have seemed crazy last year, but I wonder if Pope actually took a better job at UK. BYU is loaded with NIL and in the Biq 12 vs SEC. SEC will have more overall revenue, but BYU will be at a competitive advantage to a lot of Big 12 teams.

We need them to be loose with the info so Chris can get us updates

The NCAA has given players who played in JUCO ball an extra fifth year this year while legisltation is going through.  Lamar Wilkerson actually was at a JUCO for two years (one he was hurt, so redshirt) and then played three years at Sam Houston State....without the extra JUCO year granted, his eligibility would be up since he's had four years.

Watched video on Ante. Can see why 160 schools are interested in him.  Skilled offensively.  Wilkerson news is concerning.  He got me over the Conwell doom.  Hopefully we can still pull him. I think we will.  
 

Schools are swinging big.  We need a few more really big splashes to get people talking.
