Get these kids the Whoop band. It’s incredible in how it produces work load/ recovery data. If we have $10m for buyouts, surely this is in the budget

He’s not coming here.

I’m pleasantly surprised as to how many “last scheduled” visits we’re getting. If you’re not out front by a long margin (i.e. an early commit situation) you wanna be last...really hope this is a top 15ish recruiting class to give this program the talent and credibility it deserves

Literally zero chance

None of that surprises me and he’d have a clean slate with Woody. Doesn’t mean I have to like it. Winning cures all but I won’t be disappointed if he doesn’t come here and I’d prefer he didn’t. But no one is asking me so, what will be will be.

Exactly...decisions have consequences. Go play for Cincinnati or Purdue or some other second tier program with no respect for itself...He’s not Eric Gordon or anything close so spurn me once,...beat it loser. I’d rather play KB’s team (whoever it is) and beat him than let him join us.

I don’t mind at all going into the portal and seeing what your options are in case you’re not in Woody’s plan or going to get adequate usage/playing time...but when you’re a bonefide starter and leader of a team you don’t go in conference and play against your squad. There’s plenty of options outside the conference for him to consider that would be equally as good of a fit. If being the enemy is an option to him than coming back shouldn’t be. I can’t imagine the guys returning are cool with him considering Illinois and if they are that says a lot about why our program is where it is.

Perhaps I’m in the minority but I don’t want kids on this team who are actively exploring transfering to an in conference rival (especially UofI). I don’t care what the coaching situation is, you don’t do your teammates like that.

Best news is the analysts can’t give him the anti-bump for committing to IU because he doesn’t have a rating yet

The rapport with McCulley makes this a no brainer. 70% of being a great receiver is having a good QB who trusts you and knows where you’re gonna be on the field. He’d be making a huge mistake not teaming up at IU. When QB1 is your boy, he’s gonna get you the ball.

Cade McNamera is likely given he took over the role for the last two games. They also have a 5 star freshman coming in.

A lot can change between now and then. If their LB coach leaves and we find a way to beat them on the field, that I think will go a long way...coupled with the fact that he’ll be surrounded by IU fans for the next year and getting a firsthand account of how special this program has become.

He’s gotta get his 40 time down or it won’t matter to GMs. DR ran a 4.78 at the combine, The only recorded time I could find for Stevie was 4.83 and he needs to be sub 4.7

Agreed. He is a 6-7th rounder at best...and that’s if he manages to get invited to the combine and impresses. This is Devine Redding territory. I too hope he got his degree although I heavily doubt it. Good luck to him, I hope he lands somewhere with a paycheck

For IU gear I buy from “Indiana University Surplus Store”. They have a Facebook page and post links to sales/auctions regularly. They sell literally anything of value from IU but in batches they have athletic gear. Helmets; Jerseys; Warm Ups. You name it. All authentic, most of it is game worn. I have two jerseys from them and one helmet. Hope that helps. Otherwise you gotta find one of those custom jersey makers in Asia and hope for the best

Vic got it going late. Myles Turner is flat out garbage on the boards, giving OKC an extra shot on way too many possessions
