Good to see.

Obviously it’s early, but a good topic of discussion. We have a pretty good idea of our main core for next year. (I think it’s safe to assume Carlyle is in that group). So… What are your expectations for next season? What would be disappointing?

Kanaan Carlyle scouting report on 247 in HS, which projected him as an eventual first rounder: "Carlyle is a dynamic ball in hand player with terrific length for his size who can create scoring opportunities for himself on demand. He is simply wired to score from all three levels and never has seen a shot he does not like. His handle is as good and tight as anyone in the class and he can get by a defender with his speed and quickness. While he is primarily a scorer, he is terrific at making attacking plays off the dribble with his excellent handle and when the bucket opportunity does not present itself, he is more than willing to make the right find. What is better than his ability to score is his mindset. His mentality is elite as he is a tough and fierce competitor who is always in full attack mode. His constant aggression is what makes him positively productive. Defensively, he has the length and the foot speed to be elite and devastating on that side of the floor. A terrific two-way guard, Carlyle most certainly projects a reliable scorer who plays through most injuries and goes to war like each game is his last"

Great fit off the bench. Go get him!

Indiana currently ranks as the 14th best recruiting class in the country with its 3 man class of Tucker, Rice and Ballo. They currently have the 2nd ranked transfer class in the country with Rice and Ballo. If they add Carlyle as expected, they will have the 8th ranked overall class, and the top transfer class nationally.

He isn't visiting Arkansas. He's ours. We should see that officially very soon.

Trilly Donovan official prediction for Oumar Ballo: Indiana He says video will be up within an hour.

The 8 ball says he’s ours!!

He's been pretty incredible to start the 3SSB circuit. Has made at least 3 threes in every single game he's played. He had 8 threes in that 29 point performance.

Chasing the money.

It seems like IU was prepared to go full court press on Conwell whenever he entered, but things could be changing with it sounding like Carlyle is on board. You don’t say no or slowplay a talent like Carlyle.

I don't think you get Conwell if Carlyle is already in the fold. I would be shocked.
