Sounds like IU will not be going after Conner

Wonder why? Can only speculate that 

1. We've got other guards on the hook that we like better.
2. Comer's agent started the discussions with something so ridiculous that we told him to get bent.
3. Comer has already all but committed somewhere else.

Conner Hickman from Cincy in the portal.  I imagine he'll be a Hoosier on the bench?

 

He's a really good player, we'd do well to get him.

Conner not Comer most likely will be playing down a level.

If he wasn’t a Bloomington kid would you be saying this?

I'm guessing you are more excited about Alan Huss to Creighton.

 

Probably not sure if he is going to get a medical redshirt and as you said have other options right now

Rabby and Trevor both have said IU is not interested in Connor and he already knows where he wants to go and it's not IU

His 8 PER speaks that?

Needs to go down a level.  Not a high major player.

Sounds like Charlotte is offering him a healthy NIL deal

his years with Bradley

He is not a high major player.  Tons of kids aren’t and don’t pan out when they make the transition and that’s fine. He needs to stay at the Bradley level.

Oh wow - Googled that and apparently Huss is their guy.

That's a pretty smart way to recruit - older coach can be on borrowed time and young players still can envision what the program will be like.

Let’s be honest. Hickman didn’t exactly light it up either at Cincinnati. If he’s wasn’t from Indiana, he probably doesn’t even get mentioned.

Working out really well at Duke. The continuity in recruiting / roster retention was the main reason for the approach Coach K said in an interview. Huss proved himself as a HC the past two years… A++ move by Creighton

whatever you say Hoss

Dude he just had his worst shooting numbers, was a bench player for a non tourney team, and had an 8 PER.  If he wasn’t a Bloomington kid, people would be saying WTF.  Let’s be real here.
