That would be the slowest most unathletic front court in the country. A 1950s basketball coaches dream though.

Lawrence KS native. He might be headed home, literally.

Don’t usually have any information way up here but was talking to someone today who knows both families. Luke Goode already has his degree from Illinois and is good friends with Furst. Story is that they are both going to finish their careers playing for Shrewsbury at ND

ND's three basketball fans must be living the absolute dream

any news on the current visits and how they are going, or did I miss them?

I don't want him at all, but he's one of my favorite players in country to watch. Love his energy.

Sounds like it right up Woodson’s alley!

Mike Woodson on line 1?  :)

Dang, we missed out on Foster and you, back-to-back. Tough day to be a fan.

Hmmmmm does this mean we were going hard after a 29% 3 point shooter.

Whether we did or didn't, we still missed out even though we have a bigger NIL than God.  Things are going great.

TBF even the best coaches miss out on players. The overall roster building strategy of going after a 29% 3 point shooter when we have galloway who can't shoot is infuriating.

Concur with the sentiments but I think you (unintentionally) overstated how IU operates these days, so I fixed it for you. :)

The idea that we have a giant war chest is amusing to me. Yup we have a ton of money but need to buy a roster of players. Other programs can focus their money on 1-2 players, so don’t need the massive war chest that IU supposedly has.

Yeah, that's all BS to me. Sure the others have a war chest similar in size to Indiana's... but they each need a player or two, not more than half of an NCAA team.

I haven't heard much of anything on that front.

If the NIL budget is in fact $6 million we should be in pretty good shape and possibly a reason why IU hasn't overpaid for anyone just yet. Iowa boards are suggesting that Tony Perkings is looking for around $300k. $300-400k for a multi-year starting P5 who averaged double-figures and plays defense seems like a bargain. These players jumping in the portal who all think they are getting a million dollars are more than likely going to be in for a rude awakening. There just isn't a market that supports those kinds of figures.

I'm fairly certain Ware had a massive deal.  We get that money back.
