Just finished his official visit to Duke, other high level OV’s in the works. We aren’t the only connection here.

Intriguing.

Lots of schools are involved. Drew Adams has been in communication with him for over a year. CDD recruited him to WVU. May come down to NIL and some schools have a lot left over. - IU and Duke 247 pages

Because they haven’t entered the portal?  Da ?

Not being a smart @$$ by the way. Forget the da.  lol

I was the one being a smart @$$. They never entered the portal, but the last 20 pages of the thread are about them. There's nothing else to talk about though....so it's not a big deal to me. Just thought it was funny.

[Redcamaro 290]

Jeez! I come back after 4 days away and we are still on the Goode/Leal debate.

Wasn't Sam Alexis supposed to take his official visit sometime this week? Did that happen?

Is Trilly saying anything about IU and Sebastian Wilkins?

Yep,

Neither of them entered the portal which pretty much says that if they get another year they are probably 99% going to IU. I assume they both spoke with DD.

Will they be eligible? Who knows…..it’s the NCAA

I don't know about Trilly, but Rabby is saying he's being told Wilkins is unlikely for IU. Duke and Maryland are involved and both still have plenty of NIL, I guess. Duke is Duke and Maryland has an assistant coach who played for Wilkins' AAU team.

So maybe we don’t have as much NIL as we think we do.  I don’t see how teams like Duke/Maryland can still have plenty and we don’t..

Right, I am having a hard time making the numbers add up based on what some others are said to be paying players.  Article I read today say Cooper Flag got like 4 mil in NIL.

I’m not sure we are top-10 spend.  In a recent interview Rabby had us #10-15.  That “feels” more right to me, but that’s just my sense to take or leave, I could be wrong.

Now, the reason may be we haven’t found enough players we want to be aggressive for in the ‘25 portal and we are staying disciplined (that’s fine and good).  Perhaps CDD wants to save some NIL for ‘26 players.  Maybe donors are tapped out.  I don’t know.  We’ll have to wait and see to find out.  I am pretty confident CDD has a plan.

Unless maybe he really wants one of those players that has entered the NBA draft. Even still, we are not going to land them if we don’t have the money to compete with other schools that seem to already have a full loaded roster and supposedly still have plenty of cash to burn.  You’re right we’ll just have to wait and see what happens!

Don’t want to get my hopes too high yet but getting a highly rated kid in the front court to reclassify would be exciting and very much the kind of statement people are wanting to see us make.

[Stuhoo 89,771]

White smoke just came out of the Vatican chimney.

It's either a new Pope, or an NCAA ruling on Leal and Goode.

Stay tuned.

[68Hoosier 1,298]

Has there been any info on Curtis recently?  Is it possible Coach is waiting to see if we get waivers on both Goode and Leal prior to taking on a new recruit?  Is there any possibility that we have 14 and either Goode or Leal is a walk on status.
