Thiam would be a great Center for obvious reasons. He's on my wishlist.

maybe A Robinson?

Why yes - quite a premonition you've had there.

If he's in the portal by the 22nd ima thinking that's one to watch. And yes, Cert Sun Pumper, if Tre Singleton decommits? Him too.

Is there any thing to Tre Singleton decommiting or is that this board talking $hit?

Thanks for the updates. Really appreciate it. Any indication on Freeman or we thinking that ship has sailed?

I guess I could get on board with a spot going to Dez Briscoe—I don’t think he’s ready to contribute now, but in a year or two he could turn into an interesting player

He wasn’t mentioned, the other day there was an update that TN&Auburn were ahead of the pack

Curtis almost makes too much sense to not happen. Baker-Mazara absolutely needs to not happen.

I have a feeling it's going to be pretty slow on here thru Monday, hope I'm wrong.

I would go a step further and say that is beneficial. We know you can't play 13 (or 12, or 11....) guys. So having the last 2-3 scholarships for developmental players is great roster building. Obviously the recent transfer portal mania has diminished that model, but doesn't change how you need to construct a roster. If you have 12-13 guys expecting to play meaningful minutes, it's probably gonna be an issue and several are gonna bolt after the season anyway. If you have a few guys that are working to earn minutes in the future? Positive in a number of ways. 

Might to be tough to implement that in year 1 that requires an entire new team, but should be the goal.

Interesting that there's Curtis smoke, considering he visited under previous staff so has some familiarity with the school already, could see things moving quickly if the money and pitch is right. If it happens, kind of makes you notice how many kids viewed Woodson as a negative for an otherwise attractive IU. A few off the top of my head...

Curtis (if it happens), Sisley - basically committed knowing Woody wouldn't be his coach. McNeeley - committed to IU but never came because of Woody's system. Fland - chose Calipari over Woody (who can blame him). 

IU seems to make good on their money promises to players. That instantly makes it a pretty attractive spot for talented players. Plug in a competent coach who can show he is capable of winning here, and it's easy to see IUBB rolling in this new era of CBB. 

WVU was in Curtis top ,3 as well so Devries knows him as well

Yes!        lol     

 Everything I've seen indicates he's fully committed to NW and per Raby rumors that we have reached out to him are false

@Stuhoo would welcome your informed opinion on if the bold were to materialize?

Hasn't sailed yet but they're hoisting the anchor and we're probably still running up the pier.   Sounds like TN or Auburn.

My opinion would be he's a roster filler big and we still have about six spots to fill. Don't know if he's a good kid but assuming he is and assuming the price is right? As a roster-filler...sure, shy not.

Haha. Curious how he will translate from D2... Won't be torn up if we miss him, but do think we need another quality wing.
