Payne, Hickman and Ballo are all on campus this weekend, right.   Rice has not set a date yet that I have seen. 

Rice is arriving tonight. Payne will be here either tonight or tomorrow. Ballo and Hickman just Sunday

I think they are going to push for Hickman and Ballo to commit on Sunday but think Hickman is going to take his visits. If he does commit it would make it interesting for Carlyle

Any thoughts that if Rice commits and wants to play with Carlyle, that Carlyle could commit before visiting?

Hadn't seen the Rice date.  That is good news.  I thought I read Payne was starting today as well.

Yes, I think that deal is already done. But I think if Hickman would commit then Carlyle might reconsider.

Already a done deal with Rice!!!!   Nice.

Gotcha.  My guess is that if Rice and Carlyle are already in the fold, that would likely be told to Hickman if IU's preference is to have both Rice and Carlyle instead or Rice and Hickman.  Sure, I'd like to have all three but think that if you are getting two have to know the priorities of which two.

Race and Carlyle IMO

I’m feeling greedy, give me Rice + Carlyle for the backcourt and let’s go to war

Hickman would be a damn near perfect addition for IU, but........

Carlyle is also a great addition and a three year player.

Given the totality, I'd be really happy with either but I'd prefer Carlyle, with the possibility of a higher ceiling and a two or three year stint.

We'll see if Ballo leaves town on Sunday. 

Things would get really interesting if Payne committed tomorrow

Ballo seems to be built more for a B1G center position than Payne, but I would take either or both.

Your buddy says he's a lock essentially.

J.P Pegues officially has committed to Auburn (which we assumed he would), clearing away what was supposed to be our main competition for Rice.  Have to assume this one is in the books.

Texas A&M was the only other team I saw mentioned with Rice. They just lost Wade Taylor yesterday. That could be the only hold up I see, but everything is pointing to an imminent commitment at this point.

Sweet.   Let's hope we finalize some positions this weekend and get to work.

I'm interested to see what staff does with Payne considering Ballo is visiting after him. Have to think Ballo is ahead of him as a priority.
