Transfer Portal w IU Interest

[Home Jersey 6,591]

Between Edey leaving, new schools joining, and all the transfer portal turnover (especially with the Pac 12 being raided more or less) I am hopeful we see the start of a new play style trend in the B10. Conference will certainly look very different next year.

I know we were top 10 last year at 4 so we have to be close to top 5 at 6 million

If a program is willing paying 6 mil I would hold out on filling the last scholly until you are able to see all the kids that enter the portal.  If there is a player the staff wants that late no way money would be a problem for one of the top spenders in this day and age.

I mean he can ask for more but with what we had plus what the Simon and Cook family has chipped in this year we have 6 million in NIL.

I had just heard he had access to “at least” $6m. Basically we refuse to be outbid if we really want someone.

I don't think that will be the case unless there's an overhaul of B10 officiating.

Somebody mentioned this in another thread. I hope you're right.

Darlingstone Dubar off the board — committed to Tennessee.  IU had contacted earlier.

That's a good get for them

Hickman to Cincy. You simply cannot let recruits leave without committing and think you have a chance, Conwell visit watch?

Gotta mean you put more $ in the Conwell kitty, right?

Kidnapping still illegal in most states.  Can’t keep them against their will.

How do you know he has not committed yet?  May not have but very easily could have and the staff is waiting for him to make if official.

I know he hasn’t committed yet by a lack of an announcement by either Inside The Hall, The Daily Hoosier, X. the Arizona Tribune or any freaking other type of media. Nobody knows what’s going on behind closed doors, not even Chris.  It’s just my gut feeling and uneasiness that makes me think if there is no official announcement before he leaves and he still goes to NC for a visit, we could lose him or he could use it as a bidding war, IMO

That’s a tough one.  Local kid voluntarily goes to Cincy over IU when the staff wanted him.   It was said early  him and his family didn’t like the offense at IU and it looks like those concerns were still there even after meeting the coaching staff.   Tough one but the portal will have more options that staff can hopefully find another shooter

Didnt say to do that? I’m was getting at they more than likely wont be committing to your school is they make it off campus without committing.

Exactly my uneasiness about Ballo.  Still don’t have a knock down shooter committed

It was a joke.  I’m just saying it sounds like IU offered as much $ as they could could but can’t really promise playing time guarantees that aren’t necessarily there.

And once again it’s proven that cryptic tweets and sources are wrong.  Why do I let myself get caught up in this every year.  Can’t imagine they offered more NIL so that’s a big time slap in the face.  

uh, those were not about hickman

I doubt it but the B10 definitely does need to change their rugged style of play.

That stings being that he’s local, but I’d rather take a run at Conwell.

Sorry ... I didn't see the posts above about Hickman

Yeah, I can’t think of any ‘cryptic tweet’ that was about Hickman.
