Yes.  Maybe technically against the rules, but in reality there are no rules.

Teams are talking with agents weeks and months ahead of the portal opening.  Sometimes deals can be struck before the portal is open — then the player enters with a “do not contact” tag and they head to wherever.

At the least, a lot of recruiting work is done before the portal opens.

Rules?  We don't need no stinking rules.

I think there are a few posters here who think they’re Red Auerbach. 

Who else here thinks THEY are Red Auerbach?

Tbf, our fanbase has spent 25 years watching Davis/Crean/Archie/Woody try to coach. That’s like going to the hibachi place and getting Michael J Fox as your chef. You can’t blame ‘em for thinking “hey, I could do better than that!”

I'm a little surprised that we haven't heard of any IU players hitting the portal yet.

Think it’ll happen sometime this week. Spring break was last week

This week is basically over.  I have to think (hope) coaches meetings where held over spring break and player meetings Monday/Tuesday.  The fact that we don't have any significant announcements yet is probably a good sign, at least for some continuity.

I dont know what everyone is so upset about in this thread.  Portal season is the 2nd most exciting time to be an IU basketball fan.  Only behind coaching search season, which only happens once every 4 years. 

Enjoy this time everybody.

This year, I believe. 

But not so fast - the family dog "Massie" starts obedience classes in May.

Former Ben Davis CG KJ Windham in the portal after 2 years at NW .
 

Watched the kid a ton in HS a very high ceiling. Tough hard nosed MIC guard. IU desperately needs a kid like this off the bench . 

I liked him too. Something went wrong between him and the NW staff.

This is what Chris Collins said about Windham on January 12th:

“We’re trying to help [Windham] fight through it and kind of find his way again,” said Collins. “We’re going to stick with him, we’re going to keep working with him, hopefully get his confidence back. He’s lost some confidence.”

He then proceeded to only play in two games in the last two months of the season.
