Always felt like it would be Newell or McNeeley, but not both.  

He wasn’t comfortable sitting behind Mcneely again. 😉 To me this signals Mcneely to IU more likely.

That Jason Kidd article that was linked in the McNeely thread is apropos here for a New York kid...

This….

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.  

I don’t believe Eric for a second. He has to say that or it’s a violation. Some or all of that might be true but I don’t think for a minute there isn’t a back and forth for some.

KU’s insider Swain is leaning IU, but did say KU is real threat from what he has heard 

NIL battle sounds like. Just getting the numbers right. Maybe….maybe not? 🤷🏻

The coaching staff at IU was in to see him this afternoon and he’s visiting on the 23rd. So sounds like they are still on him. 

GT lock. 

Queen just scheduled a visit to Houston in early October.

(Expletive deleted) Kansas and Bill Self.

 Self already has 2 bigs for 2024. No way Queen goes to Kansas. Also Flagg and Mcneely kind of play similar spots. I bet Self doesn’t get any of them. Just my gut feeling. I think Queen and Mcneely want to actually play together.

Since Gunn was an Archie recruit I’m wondering who will be the first Indiana kid Woody lands…they’ve definitely prioritized recruiting a more national footprint.

Might be because the last few classes haven’t been great. 24 and 25 have some good ones though.

Queen isn't an All-American in college like TJD was under Woodson. TJD also didn't have 4 good shooters around him so the offense made sense to start with him. Woodson can still have an inside player as long as he has 4 players than can extend the floor to have the offense he wants and he's trying to recruit those types. Queen already shows signs of being a really good passer, which helps.

Queen is way more polished than a sophomore or even jr. TJD. He has great hands, can pass, shoots it very well(even out to the perimeter). The biggest difference is defense. Not as athletic but the kid has a wide body. Liam I think will be a Hoosier. Oh and his mom isn’t bad to look at.

Swartz is announcing Sept 5, so the IU visit on the 15th is no longer happening. Hard to think he'll announce for IU, given that.

Looks like Miami threw a bag at him.

I wonder what odds you could get on whether he makes that Texas visit.

 

99% sure he makes all of them.

For reference, if I looked like Trey or Anthony and had attended IU, I'd probably be on that mythical island in the middle of the Pacific reserved for Lepers, and those who'd contracted the Black Clap by now 😁

Leper messiah? Leper king? 😳

dont know where they get/ got their information from but my summation is that albeit, not a hugely popular account, BIG Banter seems like they are a serious account and not some sort of spoof. cautiously optimistic.

I’d say guys are talking. Especially if involves multiple guys thinking of playing together. Interesting next few weeks coming.

They don't....did we maybe get them a little NIL to defray costs?

I just about guarantee this. Wouldn’t surprise me at all. Hey it wouldn’t surprise me if the collective paid Purdue to keep Edey, loyer and smith. 🤣🤣🧹🧹

I wouldn’t go ahead and think we’re the perceived leader.

Personally, I think if we get Liam to somehow commit during or shortly after that Sept visit, we can steal the recruitment. 

Maryland has done well recruiting recently and will have solid local players back (DHS, Kaiser), but I think Woody’s resume/development of TJD and Ware/NIL opportunities is a stronger pitch than what Maryland has to offer. Whether or not that resonates with DQ is another story though lol. 

From what we’ve heard is this recruitment opened up after his best contact(coach) left. IU was out until may. They kept recruiting him and it’s moving positive in IU’s direction. Is it enough? 🤷🏻

1. McNeeley 

2. Fland

3. Queen

I’m not sure what percentages I’d put on them but McNeeley IU is the clear favorite to land him. 

Elite. 

Anyone else notice all of his final schools represent different shoe companies? Adidas, Nike, Jordan and under armor?

Rumor has it IU collective paid them to keep Edey and Smith. 🤣

I’d love to see that.  The schools are allegedly  insulated from the so called collectives (a sham) but call out the false promises in court and let the world, particularly other recruits, know about the bait and switch.   A contractual system, that potentially protects parties on both sides, seems to be in order.  

Can’t protect what isn’t legal. They aren’t supposed to be paying or promising before they actually play. Now we know that isn’t the way it’s going but you can’t cry foul in court or in the media without setting yourself up. Plus NIL is under states rights at the moment. So a donor can and will promise by a handshake until the kid signs. That stuff will take care of itself as the word gets out.

Any chance those 2 play at Rutgers??

Zero. RU has the number one post already. Harper looks like he’s RU bound though.
