Sounds like he’s still visiting UoL today but we’re still considered the heavy favorite.

I am usually pretty optimistic.

But I have seen this play out too many times...

Anybody else think this looks like a penis w/ 2 arms and 2 legs?? Oh, and a stick.

Yes I was at the urologist this morning and saw this and had to quickly but awkwardly close it quick. Had a guy sitting right next to me.  I thought maybe it was something I noticed because of where I was

Did we say that about Hickman? I'm just kidding we weren't the heavy favorite for him. 

I can't believe I'm not the one freaking out and saying things are OK. Until someone matches what we will pay him, we're good

According to?  Trilly as of last night said he still planned on taking visits.  Any new information or is this old?

When is his UNC visit scheduled for? I feel like seeing UL right after IU, doesn't necessarily hurt us... UNC would be a threat though 

Guess Amari Williams may still be in play... I wouldn't mind that at all

He visits UNC the week of the 22.  He is to go to Louisville, then Kansas State, and then next week North Carolina and Florida but no order was stated for those two.

UNC is still in play for Omuryi and Wolf.  Amari Williams is set to go to UK after his IU visit.

I’m still team Travis Branham doesn’t mess around with his crystals balls and think we’re fine. Rabbys made it abundantly clear we won’t ever be outbid for someone we want

I don't blame Ballo one bit for taking other visits. Why not? He isn't going to be a high NBA draft pick. Probably his last chance at a large pay day.

True.

But I also wouldn’t blame us for signing Williams or Payne while Ballo takes his other visits.

I am always confused by the amount of these dudes that take one of their scheduled visits and then don't go on others? Like... why? 

Free food is intriguing enough for me 

 

If I'm Ballo, I'm not committing until the staff take me to Little Zagrebs, though, and not Malibu Grill. 

[Adillac 953]

would rather pick up 2 capable but avg bigs for depth and one more really good guard and then I think we'd be just fine. We don't *need* a 7ft rebounder who can't shoot FTs. Don't get me wrong I would love to see him commit though. Let's get Carlyle and the big from Minny.

Can't believe that $1.2 million offer was still good after he left campus. Take it or leave it, we got others. 

[IH8PU 220]

I know ... free food, free love, look at me and all that stuff .... but after two days in Bloomington, a night on the town and $1.2M in the bank, if he REALLY WANTED to come to IU there would be no need for other visits. But that is just me.

Rice isn't coming off the bench nor should he.  Rice and Carlyle by all indications are the starting guards.  Galloway is able to sub at three different spots. Tucker likely able to sub at the 2 and 3 as well.

Is there any reason why the Stanford kid hasn't committed yet? Thought it was done.

I think he visits later this week

[rcbowla 7,092]

Sign Payne and another capable backup big. Then use the $aving$ to make Conwell an offer he can't walk away from.
