Why are the rivals guys flopping? Why is 247 guys not picking. This is an odd recruitment. This one isn’t totally adding up imho.

Sorry 1 more derailment, remember the owner of a tool shop I delt with had a picture of an old school engineer with pocket protector. He had an aghast look with hands on the side of his head! The caption was ‘You mean you made it the way I told you to!’

Our fab guys are so good the engineers do the drawings after they build it. They keep hiring engineers. 😑

No offense but on3 prediction isn’t worth a damn lol

We know. It’s to distract us while we wait. That’s why it’s a “thingy”. 

The On3 prediction machine thingy finally updated. 🤓

I thought he couldn't due to potential NBA conflicts with players once they opt for the draft. 

His “businesses” can. Like campus ink etc…I don’t think he directly does.

Yea I definitely understand that’s what he was saying at the time. My point being that Slater clearly knows more than Trilly in regards to this specific recruitment, and I’m sure Slater has been passing along tidbits to Rabby given their friendship. 

Slater is always tight lipped.

IU received another Rivals FutureCast pick for Boogie from a Rutgers writer, Richard Schnyderite. 

It seems rivals guys tend to have the same sources. I’m never sold on Rivals guys. The only thing that makes me take notice is the NY guys are picking IU.

So they think UK…but not confident to make a pick? 

Yep

UK rivals guys are saying UK but still havnt picked. They are the guys that pick at the last second to look right. Fisk and some other dude.

I'm just saying that I believe Joe Tipton will be the one behind Boogie's announcement video, he's the one that released the graphic entailing his commitment date. No clue if he tips off guys like Slater or Cassidy or whomever in the industry. But I wouldn't think he's that dumb. He's got a good gig going for him. 

I think Tipton is closer to Slater who is great friends with Rabjohns. Those guys are usually tight lipped. Makes you wonder if Trilly is Tipton. 🤣 who TF is that guy?

It cracks me up how we totally make things up out of things air, and then debate the crap out of the fiction.  

It's serioisly a talent we have.  🤣

It’s a speculative take on my part. I’m sorry if you guys run with it. It’s never my fault. 🤓😜

from my understanding he is receiving texts just not visits. At least that’s what Rabjohns is saying. So get the sugar out for all that lemonade.

Squeezing lemons and dimes is all well and good, but there’s an old saying ‘it’s not all about the money!’

Nobody is saying it is. Hes just negotiating at the last hour(maybe). Just speculating because of the walking back and why. That’s all.

Boogie comes across as an intelligent adult, I sure hope he isn’t just trying to squeeze dimes!! He should be considering the intangibles like how many NBA players, former players of a different staff and players who transferred out are coming back to train with current IU staff!

One doesn’t have anything to do with the other. He can have both. I think he’s made his decision he’s just using his short lived last minute leverage. I would too.

I think Boogies camp is now squeezing the lemon. Trying to get the last bit of NIL he can. Don’t blame him. This might be why both sides feel confident. This might have developed after Johnson said no to reclassifying. Boogie knows he can use that.

@Victobmyboy hashing it out on the UK forum

I visit. Some decent people to discuss with. Fox2monk is a good one. I work in UK land.

Watched Kent Sterling’s video today and he believes Fland is pretty much headed to somewhere else. No idea if his connections are good or not 

I lost all respect and interest in him when he said last years team hinged on JG becoming a 3. I told him no way JG will be able to guard on the perimeter. Guy has the worst instincts.

Trey Johnson cuts Kentucky. Number 1 player in 24. That’s not a good thing with Boogie close to decision right?

They weren’t expecting to land him. They are waiting on  2 reclass guys. Jasper Johnson and Peterson. Trey Johnson was never a part of the UK boogie decision.

IU's staff is putting in the work here so if he chooses to go somewhere else it won't be due to lack of effort. That's all you can really ask of from the coaching staff in a recruitment.

Plus the front court here might still be good regardless. Next years team will be pretty versatile assuming we get boogie and Liam.

Yeah it would’ve been. Luckily JHS moved on and I think we’ll have a better chance defending you guys this year compared to last year. 

You think the midrange won’t be open on the PNR? We have a freshman that can create and loves the mid game. Plus X is no slouch in that action either. X will be the best defender on the floor too. What he will do to smith/loyer will be criminal. I bet IU sweeps again. We split regardless imho.

What?!?!?!?! You game planned to allow an NBA 1st rd draft pick to get to the spots on the floor that he scores at the best and you don't think you're at a coaching deficiency when you play us!?!?! 

"He hit a lot in those games".. he hit a lot of them all year!

Matt Painter isn't sniffed at as an NBA option at HC. There's a difference. 

And when they did try to switch it left kopp or TJD wide open. Just think if IU had a real wing how bad that loss would’ve been.

Some consider him the best prospect in all of high school basketball regardless of class. Go get him Woody.

2025 was a freak of a class even before he relclassed.

This young man seems mature beyond his years in so many ways. 

Everything about him is impressive.

He is my #1 "hope we get him" recruit.

Hes very mature. He reminds me of JHS a lot too.
