  1. I wouldn't mind kicking the tires here. I'm impressed with what he's done at Butler this year.
  2. Coach is still very involved with the program and working as a conduit for Nike and his beloved program. One of the reasons he selected Jon as his replacement is that he can still hold a lot of sway behind the scenes. Duke wanted to explore some other more established candidates and K shut it down. Though it is true that Nike--while still funneling kids to programs--isn't doing it at the same clip.
  3. Not a knock on Tony, but no he isn't connected. Sometimes he'll hear something if news trickles down to AC; but even AC isn't very well connected. They even say that about themselves.
  4. Not you specifically, but I think some fans are reading too much into a few quotes. The kid said publicly what every recruit is saying: I know this relationship is for real when the head honcho is involved. Boogie didn't say anything like no other coaches should visit me or the head coach should be here every other week in person. He wants the decision maker involved--as it should be and as Woody is. People should know that Woody is involved with Boogie, Liam and other priority targets to the degree that all involved are happy with. Also, people should know this isn't a diva move by Boogie, Liam and others. These recruits are ultimately putting their career in Woodson's hands. They aren't asking for anything more than what all the other kids are asking. Finally, kids should feel empowered to ask for the entire staff's involvement. This is their life. Get to know all of the people you are placing trust in.
  5. I don't know if this will, but for the sake of clarity Woody did visit Boogie earlier in Sept. Ya went separately more recently. Woody is putting in the work.
  6. Just FYI - Eric on today's HH Twitter livestream said that's almost never the case. That's not how school's present NIL. That's not how recruits, their agents and other decision makers approach schools. He said may it's that for .001% of recruits. He said last minute NIL maneuvering isn't part of the decision process for Liam now. He has NIL info from both schools and was clearly ok with both presentations.
  7. The kid wants mystery and suspension around his decision. That's fine. But other more tangible signs point to IU being less involved and a very unlikely landing spot. There's no public talk of him making a senior visit. There's no talk of IU visiting his school or his home. On the less tangible side, but still notable, national analysts with good reputations are saying IU isn't involved. Maybe every sign and insider is wrong. Certainly things can change. But just the kid saying he is still considering five when there’s other insights to the contrary doesn't make me a believer. Kids are known to say things publicly that aren't true to help their buzz, to keep certain other schools working hard for them, etc. A kid like Harper from a basketball family knows this game within the game.
  8. We get it. You love ND football. While we're throwing out facts, you know the one year Clemson was good that ND beat them Clemson was without their starting QB. Another fact us that Clemson hasn't been the same the last couple of years. Another fact is that Clemson isn't the measure of how good a team is. Another fact is that ND has the nation's longest bowl losing streak. Another fact is that despite getting placed in the CFB playoff repeatedly they never won a game. Since you love facts, take a look at ND's record in BCS games. Whew . . . Sorry. That was too much. I just really can't stand ND . . . especially on an IU basketball forum.
  9. Ha ha. It's not fact because the movement was a group of people. The group didn't achieve what you are talking about. Yogi from that group did. It's all good though. Hope you're enjoying the summer and we can all look forward to a great 23-24 season.
  10. My point is "the movement" did not do all of that. One player from that group it. It was not the movement, it was Yogi. Big difference, technically. 😉 You can't credit Hanner, Jeremy, Ron, and Peter because they weren't on the team, and it was that whole recruiting class that was the movement. So, just Yogi accomplishing those things doesn't mean the movement (the whole class) accomplished those things.
  11. I don't know what you mean by "technically," so I may be off base here; but "The Movement was Yogi, Ron Patterson, Jeremy Hollowell, Peter Jurkin and Hanner." Yogi and another cast of teams achieved the titles and Sweet 16s. Ron never played at IU. Peter appeared in 11 games in two years and transferred. Jeremy transferred after two years. Hanner was dismissed after three years. Yogi was the only one in that group to get meaningful minutes for the first title and Sweet 16, and he was the only one ofbthat group that was still on the team for the second title and Sweet 16.
  12. Keep in mind Leal and Gallo have their covid year still, though is seems Leal is ready to move on after this year. Regarding others, Ware and Mack are very possibly moving on after this year.
  13. The On3 predictions aren't grounded in insider knowledge. It's often been referred to as a tool that measures social media and broader website engagement from fanbases.
  14. They can't have NIL clauses in the NLIs. NIL comes from businesses outside of the school.
  15. I'd be curious about the final numbers, but kids understand when they officially enter the portal they no longer have a scholarship with the previous school. Some kids are welcomed back, some decide to give up the sport, some transfer to a different level, DII, DIII, NAIA, etc. End points run the gamut.
  16. When one enters the portal the door is locked, unless the coach wants to unlock it. The current rule is if one enters the portal one forfeits the current scholarship.
  17. Wouldn't Goode's aunt's brother be Goode's uncle? Just curious about how to read your Simone-esque lineage. Ha ha!
  18. College players have until the end of the day on May 31 to withdraw from the draft to retain their eligibility.
  19. Maybe he's noting this in reference to Knecht?
  20. Furthermore, the "agent" looks like he is in high school and he has two other IG pics -- one a joke about video games and one of him on a big slide. Also, the story with the pic now says the material is no longer available -- and it's not because the 24 hour period lapsed. Don't know what will happen with KC, but some dudes are having fun playing with the fan bases.
  21. You are being weirdly argumentative and missing my point.
  22. It's just an example of different ways. I'm saying it was on his IG.
  23. It could be they took it from his IG and are crediting that. (Not saying he is or isn't going to IU. Just saying g how they may have gotten the photo and therefore have to credit the image.)
  24. Sorry for the confusion. Are you saying insiders are backing off their initial optimism?
