And a very "in house" source at South Alabama and their coaching staff thought so too. 

Sure seemed like a done deal. Was told it was a done deal. Was the back off on our end or just that he got offered more?  Strange one.

Alright alright alright. 
 

This is Indiana acting like a big bully. #ballingonabudget is now #ballingonabigbudget. 
 

Mustaf is flat intriguing. Harris is a value pick up. Burton is a dude. And if we get Sherrill that’s a boss move. 
 

I love Tiller/Reibe as options. Love them both. Let’s get 1. 
 

Then I like Khamenia a ton for this roster. Not sure if that has any legs but we don’t seem to be done yet on higher ranked guys. 
 

Happy guy today, especially if the Sherrill news is legit. 

It’s glorious to see this kind of motion.

Never Too late. But wanted this type of action last season. It was painful from beginning to end. Could never muster any enthusiasm for that roster despite some really nice kids.

Rumor was Florida State swooped in and offered him $1.5 million.

Rabby said smoke growing for IU for Sherrell

According to my friend who knows the S Alabama source he was coming before Florida State threw $1.5 mil at him. That said, I haven't seen any reports of Olsen committing to FSU yet.

It’s been pain……. lol.  Just wanted us to act like top program or fold it in.  I’m fine not getting the biggest of stars but no reason with our budget we shouldn’t be swaggy and splashalicious at least a little bit.  It’s part of the ride.

lol.  Indiana ain’t got any Juice. And especially DeVries. Maybe should have kept Woodson on as the Closer. 
 

This was always gonna be this way unless we overpay.  We aren’t willing to overpay, so we will get what we get.  I’ve been ahead of this from the beginning. Could see exactly how it was going to go.

When we sign another middling roster during the pay to play era, the fanbase will respond accordingly.  Simple as that. 

If Sherrell does commit.  I expect a handwritten apology to DeVries, Wayne.  The man has all the juice.

Like you said, better late than never… I’m back on the train. DeVries, Carr, and Co. appear to be #AllIn.

[Hoosierfanyuh]

He also said there is some level of mutual interests with Tiller but doesn’t know much yet

Fair, but my second paragraph discusses overpaying. I had a gut feeling with the Carr hire we might be willing to overpay. Tyme and I have been talking and he said the 12 million reported budget wasn’t really a thing. Said money was there if we could get the right guys.  That boosted my confidence but until you see proof, it’s a wait and see approach. The Wendy’s 4 for 4 will be the  proof.

I would love to get Sherrel and Reibe.  We need a true 4 and true 5 to compete in the Big Ten.  Is that being too greedy?  

I still think Sherrell is mostly a 5. But if we seriously have the budget for both of those guys, plus another quality wing? Yea of course let's do that.

Wasn't Tiller an Adidas kid coming out of HS?

Compared to who we're landing, it seemed someone was still in last year mode with Olsen.

Yes. IIRC IU was one of his finalists (they were all adidas schools)

[IUHoosier5]

We really may be a top 25 team going into the season if all this smoke has legs to it, and that’s exactly how it should be year-in, year-out. Get this unbelievable 180 done!

[RaceToTheTop]

Food for thought:

3 freshman

Sisley (soph)

Burton (junior)

Mustaf (junior)

Harris (junior)

IF we get Sherrill, that's another Junior.

Reibe is a sophomore, Hall is a sophomore, Tiller is a sophomore, Brumbaugh is a senior.

Of the names we have been hearing that we already have and we are pursuing at this point, only Brumbaugh is a senior.

Maybe add Bryson Tiller to that list of multi years of eligibility.
