Fear not!  Maybe.

The song is Bad Morning, the artist is YoungBoy Never Broke Again.  Formerly NBA YoungBoy… I think he changed it due to trademark issues.

Mr. Never Broke Again’s music is not my cup of tea to say the least.

Cool to see but no chance we are recruiting another center in the freshman class, right?  

Yeah I think Karvala commented that in a tongue in cheek way unless I'm missing some reports of us being involved with Osaruyi

[Home Jersey]

Gotta be the first Compton Magic player to commit to IU right?

We are absolutely involved with Osaruyi, who was a high school teammate of Karvala.

Hell, he might be the only who’s ever even visited. Woody offered probably half a dozen of their kids and I don’t remember any of them coming.

This is super niche and honestly not sure which cobwebbed section of my brain it came from, but wasn’t TJ Leaf a Compton Magic kid? He had to have visited right?

That is probably the pull of the year if you’re right. I’m sure he visited, though I don’t think it was an official, and he was an Adidas kid. But I don’t remember which program.

Very searchable. Yes he did play for Compton Magic. He also visited at least three times according to the Google/AI machines.

The artist is named Never Broke Again.  Ok better!  I think lol.  I'm not gonna listen to that song but I bet it's really good

Great job by the staff and DeVries.   DeVries in his 2nd full recruiting  cycle may have done something that hasn’t been done at IU in a long time if ever.  2 potential McDonalds all Americans in the same class.   After Hill went to Purdue some might have been down on DeVries for not getting the in state kid however he pulls an out of state top 12 recruit that chose IU over 2 programs that were in the Final 4 last year.   Heck of a start.  Now like every  year for the since forever the on the court results need to follow 

I'd take Wabbington over Hill every day of the week and twice on Sunday. I wasn't sad when we missed on Hill, his numbers never seemed to be what one would expect so I'm not sure about his drive.

Now if I could just get my mind to accept Wabbington's name, that would be great. It keeps wanting it to be Dabbius Washington instead.

LETS GO!!!!!!

The Emergency Podcast from Galen.  Pulling him from the backyard of Arizona who just went to the Final Four is crazy.

[Lebowski]

I'm way too lazy to look up this stuff but can someone give me the cliff notes about his career stats.

I'm interested in FG%, 3PT%, FT%, Assist Avg per game, and Blocks avg per game.

Rumor mill says 3.5.  That’s big but Sherrill was rumor milled at 4.5. So if he’s the replacement, there’s that.  
 

Our staff is projecting Sherrill going to the league. If he’s not a 1st rounder and wants to return I hope we can find the money.  
 

Problems for another day.

Rumor mill is  IU was confident after his visit and  that they thought they were the team to beat in this recruitment and he almost committed on the visit. Even when he went on the other 2 visits they still felt like they were the team to beat.   Also IU has the biggest offer as well

Huge land. Great sign going forward. Real talent coming in

Adding him to Chase B - Blam

I've only seen a few clips, but Darius kinda reminds me of the Boozer kid that just went pro.

That seems pretty on point!

Not a killer athlete but a very mature game for a young big and can shoot if left uncontested outside.

We can only hope he’s that good.
