doesn't excite me a ton because how often do you even see redshirts these days and how often do kids stick around with one team long enough to develop if they are a project?

seems like a conundrum. i mean we definitely want Taco back, but it will kind of put us right back where we were, but with possibly less talent. first it's hard to see Woodson putting him at the 4. if he does though, then Reneau starts at the 5, and like you said, defense is rough. i like it offensively though! more likely Taco is back at the 3 and Reneau at the 4, and a transfer at the 5. we all know how that worked out this season and that was with a very talented Ware.

all joking aside, i don't think we're in that position right? i mean we do have good $ to offer and we are a power 5 program. now, can we get the top guys, i guess probably not, but i would still think we could offer our top 7-8 guys and hold off on the others until we get some definite "no thank yous" or more guys enter after their teams are eliminated right?

i haven't seen him on a list that we have interest or contact yet right?

so i guess just for fun, in my not very informed opinion...and if it was based only on the guys available now...and only the ones we seem to have interest/contact with, i'd say these 7 would be my pick to fill our roster: Bryson Tucker Kanaan Carlyle Amari Williams Cade Tyson Frankie Fidler Malik Dia Jordan Sears Then again, that would still only give us one legit PG. I guess Perkins should be toward the top? What other PGs toward the top? Is Walker that good? Slajchert? Hickman?

and that's assuming Taco is back right?

i definitely don't know much about him, but with the updated lists, i would think we could do better. who knows though!? so hard to keep up with all of it. i guess it's kind of exciting though.

not too sad about that

not sure he has a higher upside than Liam, but sure would be nice to land him!

i see we are interested in Cade Tyson! my son actually played travel ball with him. i know him and his family very well. great people. his bro is in the NBA now. would be very very cool if he became a Hoosier!

i'm a little nervous that you are actually reporting this happened. you are joking right?

can you imagine!? 13th highest paid coach in the nation!? for the results we are getting!?

not to mention his last name is great!

when will we know for sure about MTaco?

i mean okay, but Ole Miss probably looked into it a little before hiring him right?

wait. he coached at Ole Miss this season.

would think this should go in the 2024 recruits thread, but i like the sound of it! Tucker sounds great! who is the other one?

totally agree. i just don't think he is a good coach. my holier than thou argument goes to Beard. still say he is a winner, young enough to be around a long time, and a solid fit.

i absolutely hate to say this, but Purdue does a pretty good job of doing both right? pretty clean program or at least with the reputation of one and contends for the B1G every year?

yeah, i get what everyone is saying, but we do have to have tiers right? meaning no brainers that we take the second they say yes, but some others that we wait to see if anything better comes along after the tourney is over? admittedly this is not super informed, but my first though is that i would hope Davis and Jackson are definitely wait and sees. if we are interested in Essegian, i hope he's a wait and see. depending on what role he expects, i hope he is a no thank you. i would hope Dinkins, Gillespie, and Albury might be in that list as well? any of the other guys you'd take immediately? interested in any info on why people would swap groups any of those guys are in.

i think he is definitely a good coach, but i'm not a fan. would definitely take a handful of other coaches over him.

anyone who doesn't embrace everything that Coach Woodson does. cannot complain or question anything. just smile and say that everything is great!

i don't understand at all why we would want Devonte Davis. what am i missing?

i absolutely love it for him and Lewis. kid tried his dream school and he just isn't good enough. go back and be great!

i am bummed about this because he seemed like the most likely candidate that could be here for a long time. at the same time, we can't risk making the wrong decision again, so i would prefer a proven winner at a power 5. so now what after next year? Pearl? still say Beard, but know we won't.
