Yeah, I said on Friday I was told that deal was done. I have Rice, Carlyle and Ballo as Hoosiers as of now

With those 3 that fills 10 scholarships. How might the other 3 be filed?

Hickman may be one, then a backup center and probably out of money by then

Sorry if you've answered...do you see Payne still coming to IU with Ballo? Payne at least has two years. He could get starter minutes as a senior.

It's funny because the people I talk to, haven't said one thing about Payne. With what we have paid out to Rice, Carlyle, and Ballo, plus the offer out to Hickman I don't think we could pay Payne what he wants.

He's not played in over 2 years......no one comes back from that quickly

Yeah, I am good with giving him next year to get himself back into playing shape.  No rush back -- which could derail things.

Maybe because there are too many "Senior" members on here lol

Hey now! I resemble that remark!

Sorry, I'm still catching up. Are Carlyle and Ballo close to being Hoosiers?

I think the deals are done.

Ballo, MR, MM, Carlyle, Rice with Gallo/Tucker/Hickman/Cupps and maybe Newton off the bench sure looks like a B1G title level roster. Still not a huge fan of the two big offense, but that would be a really really talented roster on paper.

Ware now following Ballo via Instagram

We can't blame losing with that talent on the fans :-)

resent or resemble?  Both could apply in this one.

Nor should IU look to do so.  Payne should look elsewhere if the option for him is to sit behind Reneau and Ballo.

At that point you would be looking to go cheaper and take a flyer on a guy.  Kid from Goshen isn't going to be a big bucks guy.  There are also some reclamation bigs that won't demand top dollars.

Definitely resemble. 59, but most days feel like 80 because of health and broken ankles from the Army.

But somehow you still probably will do so Tyme, I mean Chris.

[TadQueasy 649]

I am not sure on whether to be excited or frustrated with the thought of what the roster may look like next year
