Money talks. That's how the staff got Tucker and Ballo!

That's how most big time programs were getting their players long before everyone was allowed to play the game.

• Did we play it a little back then? Probably.
• Did we play it up to the level of most SEC and ACC schools? Nope; nowhere near that.
• Did we play it up to the bankroll of our alumni base? Not even a little.
• Now that it is legal, allowed, and every team is playing it? We are pretty ******* good at it.

Well that's how every other school was getting it before NIL, I was told, so why care?

We never doubted. Portal recruiting > high school recruiting. Never even questioned it. Lol

I'm happy that IU is finally able to let its $$$ do some talking.

As much as I hate the whole process, portal season progresses at a much faster pace than high school recruiting.

The shorter cycle and lots of other people's money is how MW gets it done.

They tried last year. Got Ware. Missed on every guard and/or shooter they went after. New year, new outcome.

Because there always has to be something to complain about... 

Fans been asking to play the game like other blue bloods for 20 years. IU starts playing the game, fans still complain.

Yeesh

Welcome to IU Oumar!

As opposed to...his own money?

So if IU lands Carlyle and Humrichous does Tucker de-commit?

I’m not a big Woodson fan but who cares how we’re getting these guys, this is the modern age of NIL. Other schools used to do this under the table, finally the rules are in our favor!

No. Rabjohns thinks it may take time to play out since he wants to play professionally. Sounds like IU and Illinois. He seems to be okay with coming off the bench, which would have to be his role here. 

why do you think that?

I think Rabjohns hinted at this in chat or something.

I don't think so. Likely a spot for him to step up as a sophomore.

Malone is #50 on Grace.

Btw, he attended Prairie Heights High School, which is where my kids would have gone had they still been school age. PHHS is a really small school, and it would be amazing if this guy could play high D1 ball.

Doubt it. Who else is going to pay him what Indiana is?
