Oh wow yea I got my weeks mixed up, OV to Bama is next week. Hopefully I was just foreshadowing!

Well, his Bama official visit has likely wrapped and no posts from him at all this weekend. Did see his mom liked this post though. Go Hoosiers!

Well people did say when he commits, it wasn’t going to be a big production. Probably won’t see many/any CB predictions for his recruitment

Rivals and 247 had updates on him today but i didn’t get to see what it was.

Did they cancel his visit or something? I know they have a 5-star PF on campus this weekend too. I noticed someone on Twitter said Clowney hasn’t rescheduled yet but maybe that’s changed since then.

He told a reporter 2-3 weeks after his Bama visit but potentially sooner.

I have no intel but I haven’t felt this confident about someone ending up at IU since Leal. I know IU media can get our hopes up since they cover basketball and recruiting far more than Bama/Florida/Va Tech but I just sense a very palpable difference in the way he talks about and posts about IU in comparison to the rest. He said post -visit he usually wants to go home after an official but didn’t feel that way with IU. also, weird move to (allegedly) be chatting with an IU staffer during your Va Tech visit saying it’s boring af and then committing potentially 4 years of your life there..

Didn’t post anything about his trip to Bama, guess he was underwhelmed there too.

2 predictions for Louisville today, one from a Louisville insider. Bummer.

Not to get too cocky, but I think we’ve set him up to be underwhelmed with the rest of his visits. Hes already completed his Florida visit and hasn’t posted anything on social media outside of a quick clip of him at their football game on Saturday.

Fans are definitely showing the love this weekend, almost more likes for his IU official tweet than his “Top 4” one.

No inside info but I think he’s ours to lose. IU and Va Tech have prioritized him the longest but his relationship with Coach Ya/potential for lots of playing time with TJD going pro I think seals the deal.

Anyone hearing anything similar lol?

It’s nice to have a staff that can identify the holes in our roster and then actually get a player to fill it. This program rn feels like a complete 180 from a couple months ago.

The more I read into Rosemond, the more I like. Some of my favorite quotes from the CWat and Moye interviews: “I love Yasir. He’s so knowledgeable. He really knows how to run a team from the point guard position. He’s a wizard with point guards. He’s a great recruiter. He’s a phenomenal human being” “He didn’t have to make time for me, but he’s one of the guys I can call anytime. For me and him, it’s something deeper than basketball.” *Article also mentioned him leaving Bama was a big reason why Trendon didn’t go/big reason why Colin Sexton went to Bama.

Exactly. Not gonna care more than the FBI and NCAA on this matter if they said he’s fine. Also not gonna sit here and pretend like there aren’t plenty more people involved in pay for play that just so happened to be lucky enough not to have the authorities listening in. He apparently has good recruiting connections in areas Hunter/Fife are less familiar with, works with guards, and can help with shooting mechanics. Sounds like a win to me.

Fife was on that list of people this agent reached out to, whether or not they spoke or not we may never know. I know they have Rosemond on wiretap saying he do whatever to get recruits but sometimes people do distasteful things to move up in their industry, it’s not just a college basketball thing... Don’t forget, they have an agent saying Tom Crean hugged him once (also had Kenny Johnson as his assistant who went on to get caught bribing for Pitino), Tom Ostrom was interested in the Silvia De Sousa recruitment.

Idk much about qualifications for a 3rd assistant but he seems to be a likeable guy and specializes in guard play which we definitely need. If he has a way to bring not a top ten, but a consensus top 5 national recruit with him, I will not complain whatsoever.

Give me an “incredibly lucky” national championship any day of the week. It’s called “March MADNESS” after all... My point was their team drowned out the haters and stuck together during this adversity and the following season turned out as good as you could have asked for. Yes, the booing was just dumb and unnecessary on so many levels but if that was a major decision in AF leaving then he may need to educate himself more on fanbases across the entire CBB landscape...

Well AF was entertaining offers from U of I and Louisville and you can ask Kofi Cockburn and Jordan Nwora how cruel their fans were during March Madness. Heck, he can ask former UVA players what it was like after getting embarrassed by UMBC. Oh wait, they only went out and said forget the haters and won the national title the very next year...

Just happy he didn't go to Illinois or Louisville. If I had to guess who the only player to transfer out would be, I wouldn't have said AF. Luckily, transfers are growing by the day and i'm excited to see who Fife and Hunter can bring in.

FWIW, fairly certain this guy has a really good relationship with the Brooks family. He even has his pinned tweet as his interview with Keion when he was going to UK. This dude also said hours before the announcement that Hunter struck again so must have an idea of what’s going on behind the scenes.

Guess the intel was correct, straight from the source!

You guys down for a bulk order? Maybe get them customized, with candy stripes and our HSN names?! As Coach would (probably) say, “Gotta take proper care of your wood-son!”

LOL, knew someone would say that 😂. just wondering if it’s possible to keep our roster and add Brooks/Johnson or if that would make us over signed. But yes, I do agree that it will work itself out when there’s a projected 1,500+ transfers this year and Hunter/Fife as our recruiters.
