This is just a guess. But 3 high school kids Sisley and 2 from WV. Then 10 portal guys and none from the current roster. 

I really hope we can land that Tucker DeVries kid from the portal. I think we have a chance.

If Barnett doesn't come I would look for someone with Indiana elite ties like Drew Adams

That would be important.  I am assuming with being in the midwest so long that DeVries has some pretty solid connections around the state too.

I have heard he has had success recruiting the northern part of the state. Even though we all know that southern Indiana plays the best basketball

His dad should just pay him an allowance instead of using our NIL on him

DVD  for DeVries, Darian

I'm lazy so I'll probably just call him CD

Besides, CDs were still the thing when IU was last consistently good and DVDs weren't around yet.

Devries: "I am proud to announce that our entire $12 million NIL budget will be spent on my favorite player, Tucker."

This is funny but it would be a smart way to spend more NIL money on other players, might as well use the money smartly lol

Dang this is awesome. Good Work OF

If our new coach wants to replace Cliff Marshall, '26 Jonathan Sanderson's dad might be worth a call.  Just thinkin' out loud.

Western Reserve Academy is Hudson, Ohio. Gorgeous campus. 
 

The kid from South Bend Washington will like be relocating. His dad is looking to get a college job (women’s)- rumor has it Western MI. His 2 oldest sisters in the portal from Purdoo and senior sister just de-committed there. All 3 girls expected to follow dad

Dang Creighton plays such a fun style of ball. Wonder what that kind of offense would look like at IU?

Hysterics added Preston Murphy (at bama, was an assistant with CDD at Creighton I think) on their podcast today, would assume we won’t start doing serious portal damage until these are finalized

 

im intrigued by Barnett, young and apparently  has some great connections (NV transfer for starters) but seems like he’s trying to get the oral Robert’s job at the moment 

Preston Murphy sounds like he would e a good pickup if we can get him.

Probably just like it does at Creighton except with red uniforms instead of blue. :)

Coached under Oates, McDermott and D. Hurley. I’d take that
