So if IU lands Carlyle and Humrichous does Tucker de-commit?

Doubt it. Who else is going to pay him what Indiana is?

[RaceToTheTop]

Purdue fans (probably):  Yeah, but he's not as tall as Will Berg.

Any program with money

I don't think so. Likely a spot for him to step up as a sophomore.

His dad has indicated that one and done isn't what he is really looking for.  His dad has been very development oriented.  Plus he's only 17, won't turn 18 until June.  Two years is most likely.

That's how most big time programs were getting their players long before everyone was allowed to play the game.

• Did we play it a little back then? Probably.
• Did we play it up to the level of most SEC and ACC schools? Nope; nowhere near that.
• Did we play it up to the bankroll of our alumni base? Not even a little.
• Now that it is legal, allowed, and every team is playing it? We are pretty ******* good at it.

Now it's time to prove the money is worth it by making it to the second weekend. No excuse not to make the second weekend.

Kansas didn't. Kansas isn't paying Liam the money he wants by the looks of it either!

you add him.. jesus. 

I live in Evansville and I'll be honest I haven't watched a lot of Aces basketball. I just know their fans were upset to lose him. Really good shooter. 

 

Just a guess Carlyle and Humrichous are our top 2 realistic options right now. After that the majority of your roster is set.

Woodson will likely only play eight kids. I think Indiana is at 6 right now. Two more players to make the rotation.

Just speculating...

Rice, Carlyle*, Mgbako, Reneau, Ballo, Galloway, Tucker, Humrichous*

You sound upset that our NIL collective is helping to attract excellent players. Let me see if I understand:

Now that every big-time power 5 program can afford to pay a ton of money legally to players, you believe we should:

1. Have a crappy NIL organization that doesn't allow us to pay as much in NIL as other major programs
2. Use NIL, but lose portal recruiting battles to teams that have just as much money as IU for portal NIL
3. Have as robust an NIL program as any other team, and use it to attract and get commitments from fantastic players

Feel free to pick any and all of these as your preferred option(s)

Who will be on campus this weekend during Little 500?  I'm having a little trouble keeping track of everything.

That seems very possible. I'd prefer a more consistent 3p shooter instead of Carlyle, but seems a fate acompli he's coming and will start.....

Never know what a program will pay when it gets down to the end of the road and a 5 star kid is still on the table.  I can’t speak for what programs are paying kids or how accurate the numbers are but would find it hard to believe a program with money not paying an unsigned 5 star kid late in the cycle 

[Home Jersey]

IU fans are seriously underestimating Carlyle IMO. I think we're going to be very happy to have him aboard.

Preface with I prefer Conwell....buttttt Rice and Kanaan would probably be the best backcourt in the country, not just the B1G.

I've never forgiven you for the last time you said something like that.

I suspect he will still play several early in the year and make many frustrated and then shorten the bench if needed.

Nope not upset, just stating some programs are not going to pay what players are demanding. Liam wants more money by the looks of it. Programs are spending all their money and scholarships at the moment, kids need to lower the asking price.

There is no way I believe that.

Taking nothing from them as I believe they are good players, but best in the country?
