    So he played on a Nike AAU team and committed to a Nike school in Duke but when he left he had Kansas and IU two Addidas schools on his list and you think Addidas pushed him to IU over Kansas?? Sorry…not buying it. Heck Pitino at UL had to beg people to pay players to get them to come there over Kansas because KU was the school of choice for Addidas. 

    Not entirely. He had 3 adidas schools. Louisville was the other.  Adidas does have some reasons to send a kid to other of their top branded schools. A source did infer that adidas was involved and one of the reason why he chose IU over Louisville. It wasn’t the main reason but it was one of them. The guy who said it is an NIL guy. Hes in the rooms we hear little about. I did embellish my original answer making it sound like it was the biggest reason he chose IU but it’s not. It’s up there though.

    Dolson said last year most of that money has already been spent so there isn't as much as you think.

    I heard that too. He was also betting his horse would win. IU now looks incredibley stupid for earmarking those insane amount of funds. Will be interesting to see how much pressure they get. New age in my opinion. This is actually worse than the Archie problem. With the new teams coming this needs to be addressed now. I’ll leave on this note.

    I don't see the big donors wasting their money on football because they don't care enough about it

    May not take that. Too much money coming from the media deal to hide. Dolson and the BOD will look stupid by acting as if there is no money. The fans are screaming. I’m pretty conservative when it comes to these things but this is beyond ridiculous. If you fire a guy like this it looks really bad on you. This means you had no faith in him from the beginning. TA needs to go. His schtick is over.

    If it were basketball (like Archie), it wouldn’t surprise me to see a buyout. Football is a different story. 

    Football drives the bus. IU will move on this one. Same circumstances 2-3 years ago they don’t but this is a new era. Don’t compare us with PUke either. This one is getting a lot of attention.

    Don't they play different positions? I thought Newell is a 4/stretch 4 while McNeely is a wing.

    Newell is a 3/4 type. Can guard multiple spots. He came off the bench at Montverd. Basically he’s a big wing and that’s what he wants to play. It’s hard to put numbers on players because of all the guard/wing stretch players.
     

    this is a quote from his scouting report:

    Despite coming off the bench behind both McNeeley and Queen at Montverde this past year,
