Absolutely no chance he came here without being guaranteed to start.

You telling me that doesn't change my opinion. Guaranteed to start? I don't think that happens, at least often.

"Son, again, we see every indication that you will be ready to start from day one."

That about cover it?

I'll be surprised if Tucker isn't starting.

Yeah a McDonald's All-American who thinks he is a one-and-done is not going to a school to come off the bench. That is for sure. Hopefully, Woodson learned his lesson and said he will promise to start him if he earns it but I highly doubt it.

 Hmmm.

I honestly can't keep track anymore.

IMO--

"I'll start who the 5 are that give us the best opportunity to play for the first 4-6 mins of the game, Bryson, you might be a part of that, if not, you'll be with the 2nd unit more, but probably featured more offensively with that group" 

"oh and also, here's a BAG ($$) to keep you occupied".. I don't believe he was promised anything. I don't think anyone has been, I am not even sure who could have been promised something detrimentally to our team in recent years?

Myles Rice. P12 FOY and All League 1st team.

He's either savior #1 or savior #2.  And he's about to be a very wealthy young man.

Let's hope so.

Myles Rice is the single best IU portal recruit IMO.

1. Fantastic production as a freshman - 1st team All-PAC12 and PAC12 freshman of the year.
2. Three years left but already older
3. Leader and culture setter - a young man that can overcome Hodgkin's and lead a team? Can lead any team.
4. The #1 position of need - can give him the keys for multiple years

Personally? I don't wanna hear about the "how much did he cost?" NIL is a part of every program. For me, it's not how much a  kid makes; it's whether we are using our NIL wisely. Myles Rice would be a shining example of using NIL wisely.

You're right. He has impressed me so much that I keep forgetting about him and his name.

I think you have 1 of the 3 wrong.  Reneau, Mgbako, and Tucker are going to be starting.  Bank on it.  I have said before, the Tucker kid does not come here if he isn't promised a starting spot.  Sure, Woodson could change that when he gets here, but then his word is garbage and he likely struggles to ever get a kid at that level again.

Tucker would not accept going from semi-pro to college bench.  So either Woodson is changing his system and moving Mgbako to the 4 or Tucker is our 2G.

You're right. I missed on Tucker. He has impressed me so much I keep forgetting about him and can't remember his name. He would never come to IU if he was not promised a starting spot and a bag of money.

With regards to how much we are paying, IF say we made a coaching change and the NIL went up for this coach and he were dropping $ for recruits like this, we would all be celebrating how we are now getting serious about becoming great.

Here's a piece on Myles Rice BEFORE he ever played in a college game. This is the reverence for this kid ... who thereafter turned into all-PAC12 and PAC-12 freshman of the year.
