yes he is done and I think at Auburn today

Little further to Auburn AL from Lexington than I realized, but still drivable. 

If I were him, I'd do it all in one swoop, as well.

Saw a screenshot on Twitter of Trilly saying Wilkerson got food poisoning from a McDonalds in Lexington, probably fake I guess, but kinda funny if true lol.

Pope probably told him the Thoroughbred Quarter Pounder w/cheese was a must try and that thing’s just not for everybody.

right.. so why are you doubling down? 

Kid goes and tears it up in JUCO, especially once he got comfortable, as a FR...  and you guys are telling me about Bawa Maniur lol .... and Peter Jurkin. Why? 

My initial thoughts were more Jobe, but then you look at the schools inquiring and the remaing years of eligibility and it's an interesting player.

Word this morning is IU has the largest NIL offer out to Wilkerson by a SUBSTANTIAL amount and those that truly have inside connections still have every reason to believe IU is still likely the destination for him. IU also has the largest NIL offer out to Conerway. We are in a really good spot to land 2 of the best guards available in the portal. IMO would be top 3 backcourt in the conference.

If (IF) this is true, and we land Wilkerson, the mid-season posts will go one of two ways:

1) Wilkerson plays well, hits 40+% threes, and IU is winning = DD was brilliant landing him, glad we have him, he is the type of guy we need etc etc

2) Wilkerson and IU are relatively mediocre at mid-season = what was DD thinking, that’s what we get for paying a mercenary only after the bag, need guys that want to be at IU, etc etc.

I don't think the 4 other players people named would tear up a JUCO game. I couldn't understand why they were the examples to begin with. 

Hanner, maybe, if he had the correct guards, could have torn up a JUCO game as a FR.

Any word on how the Conerway visit is going?

Jobe averaged 4 points 4 boards and 1 block the year before he got to IU. He wasn't anything special before Crean came calling.

I was hoping we could get 1 of the 2 so if we land both that would be fantastic.  They absolutely would pair well together.  It would be such a change to have a strong backcourt...what we have been missing for years.

Any of you mopes ever play in a salary cap fantasy football league? This is a ton like that.

No they haven’t, and it’s painfully obvious it is going to be a steep learning curve for many of the concepts surrounding salary allocation and acquiring players every year. It’s probably where some of the angst comes from. 
 

Not that I particularly blame IU, or college, fans in general, because many people liked college sports particularly because it was distinct from the pros in its absence of such dynamics. But it is a brand new world and college fans that follow the offseason will eventually come to grips with it.

I have to be honest: I really enjoy UK fans complaining about being outbid while talking  up their superior intangibles. Especially in regards to IU. Would’ve been literally unthinkable a decade ago.
