We are Out of the Harrelson sweepstakes.

Ohio State, Tennessee, UNC

And Tyme thinks we will get all 3 guards.  Thinks we are saving money for another couple splashes  

 

Did you misspell his name on purpose?  Are you a closet Mets fan?

A Sherrell/Muurinnen front court would be something. I don’t know how aggressive the staff is currently pursuing Muurinnen but IU always mentioned as a potential landing spot.

That would be fun. Seems like about 5 schools trying with Mikko. UNC strongly too.

Yes we should be expecting initial commitments next week. 

I viewed that post you responded to slightly differently... Wouldn't call it dooming per se. We definitely are not "behind" but we did have a head start (theoretically, by not being in the tournament) compared to some of the teams that do have commitments already. If we don't have momentum after this weekend, I think it's fair to say it's not looking "too good" ... we've got a lot of money and a lot of spots to fill. Guys are going to want to know who they'll play with. Hopefully after this weekend, that will be more clear.

I’d agree that, if by the middle of next week we have no commits, starting to worry makes sense. But given where things seem to stand, I think most of us will be surprised if that happens.

I think the other issue creating the perception of being "behind" is because IU has nearly their entire roster to refill. This is almost a situation like the school getting a new coach with the few players on the roster right now. With as many spots to fill as IU has, it is imperative that early signings occur. 

Momentum is a very real thing, and this program has absolutely none of it right now.

That is a definite upgrade on athleticism 1-3. A drop in the deepball at the 2, but an increase in scoring from the 1 and 3. It’s a good start and would love to add some splashes to those 3.

Same source with friend at S Alabama just texted that we are not getting Adam Olsen. You were correct, Their coaching staff thought he was but that was before Florida State came in with 1.5 ML. Crazy!

Oh Adam Olsen, you were our least favorite possible silent verbal portal commitment yet. We hardly knew ye. 

In reality, if this turns out to be the case, sort of validates the staff's scout on him.

Or FSU is desperate and has excess money.

But I think the former is more likely than the latter.

Not surprising if the staff feels good about Burton. I think the fit with both of those guys gets dicey for a CDD squad that wants to launch 3’s. 

Burton and Haralson spent very little time on the court together at Notre Dame.

FWIW, Rabjohns mentioned last Sunday he thought it would be 3-5 days after the portal opened before we would see our first signing. Today is day 5, but his point was that it would be several days before we got anything.

Don’t know if this is already posted, but in case it isn’t this is Adragna’s IU portal tracker. Last year he did a really good job of staying on top of it. Nothing super involved but it keeps all of the names in 1 place.

Check out Tony Adriana’s portal page for the full list we have been rumored to. It was posted several pages back now. Probably 10 if I had to guess. But there are several bigs on the list. Some backup options for sure. 

BOOM

I agree totally. I think as important as Sherrell would be, the depth behind him and the complimentary big playing beside him is just as important. If we were looking to put him on an island as our lone starting big, it might not be as enticing for him. I assume he is wanting to fashion himself as a Big with range and more of a 4 in the mold of a Julius Randall. Just my take. If he gets on campus next week and we have the 3 guards locked up and in talks with another true 5, I think we get him. I also like the response he had to the sh7tty 68. He's looking for fit as much as money.
