Stop raining on my parade.

Two notes:

1.  At his age, we should encourage Old Fart for remembering something he did last week.

2.  The picture above isn't Old Fart....it's his son.

Trust me, the Bellarmine campus schedule didn’t dictate when the Hatton family was getting to Bloomington.  Langdon was ready to run to IU when Woodson called.  This kid wants to be a Hoosier! 

I love to hear when recruits want to be at IU.  He will represent the university well.

Woo hoo!!!  I never would have thought I would be this excited for a role player position but this position is very important to the possible success and security of this team.  I hope they offer him loads of cash!!!

you know it brother

I strongly suspect that Hatton will be in Bloomington by midweek, if he isn’t there already.

During that visit he’ll see his anticipated role, see film, meet coaches and players, see facilities, and learn about IU NIL.

If all goes well and the coaches are also impressed, he’s a Hoosier soon thereafter. If something goes awry, we need to be in contact with a few backup plan players.

Carnac the Magnificient...Thank you for your divining our future.  Now should I invest in cryptocurrency or get a Subway franchise in Floyds Knob?

Barring someone stepping out of the draft who just changes your ceiling, I’d be pretty surprised if this isn’t your 24-25 Hoosiers.

I still haven't heard a reason we shouldn't add someone else

I wouldn’t be surprised but I don’t think it would be an impact guy.  Either a freshman/sophomore with upside that could redshirt or a break glass in case of emergency big to back up hatton if ballo got hurt.

Because we would have to honor the entire term of years on scholarship for a player. There may not be anyone available that is interested that is worth doing that for.

We do not want to tie up a scholly for multiple years for a player that won't have a real chance of playing this year or developing, and a player that is "worth it" likely won't be interested ; they would have a really hard time foreseeing a role with the current roster.

I wonder if Jordy Hulls’ foreign connections could get us an under the radar guy.

Agreed, there is no advantage to 'saving' a scholarship. It's just wasted. IU is already bringing in a minimum of 5 new guys next year, probably 6-7, with 0 commits, so not like there is a crunch.

I guess maybe they're worried about cap space ;)

[schoosier]

After last year, we should have learned to never bank a scholly. Never. It’s like self penalizing your team, fans, and alumni because you don’t understand attrition or injuries. Reward a walk-on or find a Hyper stud but please use it. I shouldn’t even be saying this if we ever hope to win big again.
