Aiden Sherrell IS A HOOSIER!!

[Stuhoo]

Celebrate a big, major, high-level addition!

Hell Yeah

[WayneFleekHoosier]

This one was huge in every way.  He’s a undisputed top 5 big man in the portal.  
 

Did we want Estrella/Sherrell or was Sherrell the pivot?  Hard to say. Doesn’t matter as our 2 bigs look B1G ten level legit. Credit to staff to do what it took to keep him away from MSU.  
 

This is the level of talent Indiana needs to roll with.  
 

We sit at 9.

Two Big Ten Bigs. With an absolute Stud at PG.  And a crowd of guys at wing. 
 

Need one or two more pieces but the engine is built for a successful season

So who's on deck for a Thursday commitment announcement?   A surreal week in IU basketball recruiting

[Uspshoosier]

MSU board was  pretty entertaining.  Some good posters over there. The best sequence over there was someone asked where their Rabby and a board insider was because they had been silent for days and someone posted they had committed to IU as well.    If I could post on their premium board I would of gave him some props because that was funny

Samet just re-tweeted Joe Tipton's tweet announcing Sherrill's commitment.

Sherrell* lets edit the thread title

[Hardwood83]

This MSU guy claims Sherrell got $5m Video skip to 3:45.

He admits he "has no sources" however.

My guess is that securing another big to be the primary 5 was a key factor in Sherrell's recruitment. When we missed on Estrella for that spot, we pivoted to Yig.

Playing Sherrell at the 4 will come with some defensive issues against teams with stretch bigs.  Plenty of tape on him in drop coverage and slow to shooters.  Think Race Thompson trying to cover the perimeter…May see Sisley more in those games and AS more in the 5 role

Offensive arsenal and rim protection though are upper level and much needed in the front court.

Hysterics said today it was high 4’s. And roster could near 20 in total although probably short of that.

In this new age programs don’t really need juice and momentum anymore just money

Agreed.  Only need juice and momentum if trying to win recruits with equal dollar offers. Which is exactly why the only path this year was to boost the budget. (And hopefully start to prove concept). Glad we boosted that NIL to compete despite the lack of juice. Seemed like the powers that be figured that out by building a mid major All Star team the year prior.
