True, but Riley Monix of Morehead State was an NAIA player of the year I believe in 23 and he was a stud at Morehead State last year.  I think it's a bigger issue if a player is simply more athletic than his NAIA counterparts which is how they score.  Malone certainly was bigger, but the fact that he can shoot it as well IMO says he also did it with some skills.

I’m game for him simply because he can hit his free throws, sparks couldnt at all lol

Ok, so old guy yelling at clouds now and also someone that handed a former player in the late 90's a vodka bottle at my apartment the night after they beat Kentucky (IIRC), our recruiting visits are a little more "bar centric" than I would want if I was the staff.

I know the guys go out and do stuff and have some fun and they can't be basketball and school 100% all the time, but....I don't know, just seems like not the type of message I want to send out to attract real winners.  That's just me and I know I am going to get raked over the coals because college kids should have fun and all that.  And I don't necessarily disagree with that, but I would worry that the bait I am using isn't catching the exact fish I want.

On Twitter Dakich has always claimed his IU sources have told him, the team last year did not hesitate getting out in town after a loss or a win.

I would not think that it is 'along with'.  Also, is there even anything saying that Walker was on an official visit?  With the little 5 this weekend, he could simply be there for the show.

Assumption is that Carlyle is committing this weekend.  Assuming that is the case, I can't see that both Essegian AND Walker would be on the roster.  That would mean that IU would have Rice, Carlyle, Galloway, Leal, Cupps, Newton, Essegian or Walker.  Obviously you can play some three guard lineups but if you have both Essegian and Walker, that's 8 guards.

I am not sure what I was thinking. There are only 3 scholly's available. One for Essegian, which I think signs, a backup center and one left for someone unexpected. Thanks for pointing that out to me. 8 guards is too many in my book but I'm old school.

Don't know what's going on with Tyme's account -- he had mentioned some time yesterday that he made tweets in the morning and they were deleted, not by him.  He had some tweets yesterday as well, mostly in regard to Essegian that looked to be deleted now as well.  Have no reason to believe that he is deleting them himself but it looks like someone is reporting his tweets and they are getting blocked.

While I don't like his harping on other 'media' not knowing what is really going at IU, I certainly haven't seen anything he has tweeted that is ban worthy.

Oh man... Dakich as the source here is fantastic. 

I don't like Dakich any more than the next guy. But ... too much of what he says turns out to be true. I don't listen to his radio shows anymore, that lasted about two weeks before I couldn't stand any more. Now if I take out Dakich from what I said, people I know personally in Bloomington say the same thing but they are not sources and I am not an expert.  LOL

OK, so back to the portal topic.  No news on Conner from yesterday that I can find.  I tried to go back through the pages but didn't see anything.  

I expect to see a commitment video soon (before lunch). If it gets much beyond that, worry will start to set in!

Haven't seen anything this morning.  That said, the Ballo commitment didn't get released quickly.  Staff I am sure all know whether Essegian is committed or not, so nothing we can do but wait.  Malone coming in today, Carlyle on Saturday.  Haven't heard about Williams visit being cancelled but am assuming he would cancel.

Looks like he got hacked based on his new tweet

Essegian is one I would worry about -- didn't even know about him visiting until the day of his visit.  If he signs, great, he's a shooter and a great reclamation project.  If not, you look for someone similar to him.

I'm guessing he's being told to delete them. Messages don't just disappear on X. He was being a little too loose with his info
