HinnyHoosier Posted April 13 Posted April 13 I'm not sure why anyone held out hope Wilkerson would commit on his first visit of what is basically a short tour of having dollars thrown at him. Indiana's return to success isn't going to be fast like everyone wants it to be. It just isn't. Gradual improvement is the reality. Home Jersey, Juwan Moye, sirhoosierlot and 4 others 7 Quote

Kentucky is probably a top 3 team with him and has unlimited money apparently. Pay him whatever he wants coach I just don't see why he would go UK because they already have a lot of guards and wings and wouldn't get as much playing time there. Quote

Aren’t NBA scouts looking for individual performance over team performance? Well two of the top 5 draft prospects this year comes from Rutgers who didn't make the tournament this year lillurk 1 Quote
AKHoosier Posted April 13 Posted April 13 This is why I never got excited when Trilly predicted Wilkerson to IU. We'll fill a roster, plenty of guys still out there. But missing on Conway and this kid who we clearly wanted badly is not good. skhoosier2 1 Quote
Hoosierfan2017 Posted April 13 Posted April 13 We need to get players and soon. For all the talk about “trust in coach,” he’s completely new and needs to earn trust. Right now he’s just a guy with a nearly empty roster. Alford Bailey, skhoosier2, bfull8 and 2 others 2 1 2 Quote

Popular Post TheWatShot Posted April 13 Popular Post Posted April 13 My biggest concern with the DeVries hire has been wondering if he has the recruiting chops to get kids that are coveted by bluebloods and other high-majors. Still early, but the early returns haven't looked good. WayneFleekHoosier, JustWinBaby, skhoosier2 and 7 others 6 2 2 Quote
Home Jersey Posted April 13 Posted April 13 5 minutes ago, FightFor6 said: Maybe. But people have been saying that for like 20 years now and it has mostly been untrue. That’s true. “Just fine” is pretty ambiguous. I’ve said a ton of times I don’t think this cycle will get the best version of the roster. Louisville’s roster last year had no top 75 transfers. We may not get any highly rated guards this cycle. Hopefully we get at least a couple. Wilkerson would’ve been great. It is still relatively early. Do want to see that we’re willing to pay guys what it takes to get the deal done soon-ish. FightFor6 1 Quote

DChoosier Posted April 13 Posted April 13 1 hour ago, BBTB said: Okay but I think I would rather get some more players who have a more than 1 year remaining ,seems better than trying to rebuild every year . I agree in theory but I’d guess (guessing) half the 2 year guys leave after a year. Id rather get a guy that hits 44.5% of his threes like Wilkerson. Who knows….Going to UK might be driven by his agent as I wouldn’t be surprised if multiple visits drive up his price by 500k+. Hell, I’d drive to Lexington for 500k. It is what it is these days.

Hoosier82 Posted April 13 Posted April 13 If Wilkerson takes the Kentucky visit, I don’t think he is coming. Seems like he would have been a great fit. Jet812, skhoosier2 and Jeff Flabjohns 3 Quote

There are still plenty in the portal but I think money and playing time just aren’t enough for these top prospects. DD has to prove he can win and put IUBB on an upward trajectory before we can compete with these top programs for sought after portal prospects. thebigweave 1 Quote
Scotty R Posted April 13 Posted April 13 I don't know why everyone is jumping to the conclusion we aren't getting Wilkerson just because he didn't commit on his visit. Home Jersey, lillurk, cybergates and 1 other 4 Quote
