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?

Connor Essegian will be visiting tomorrow

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.

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.

He had a better chance to win at Iowa.

And this is where I have no idea. Weeks ago I was told Conwell. But everyone else seems to think Carlyle. I wouldnt't care either way. 

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.

All,

We merged this original megathread and the Fire Mike Woodson thread. Many threads have been hijacked over the last several months with Woodson debate, please try to keep all of it inside this megathread from now on.

The top teams in the B1G will all be taking a step back. If IU puts that team together, it will be the most talented team in the B1G. Expectations would be high, as they should be. 

I agree. That would be the best team in the Big Ten on paper and I’m not sure it’d be super close.

Wrong for not trusting MM to be a knock down shooter like we need? 

He shot 38% from 3 in conference as a freshman on 4.9 attempts per game.

The Hickman spot if it's not him still has to be a SHOOTER. Humrichous would be ideal behind Malik with his shooting, but I have a feeling he will want to start somewhere (and he's good enough).

If we get Rice and Carlyle how would that effect getting another guard like Hickman or Conwell

To me, Conwell isn’t happening at that point unless we start Malik at the 5. Which we aren’t going to do. I think Hickman would still be gettable.

If that actually happens we are going to have a lot of fun next year.

If rice puts up even slightly better numbers across the board he may be here only 1 year.  

I agree. If we land him, I would be surprised if he plays 3 seasons at IU.

If anyone isn’t excited about Rice this should help.

Imagine what 2nd year JHS could’ve been? We could get similar with Rice.

Rice is a stud man. If you get Conwell to go with him and some other pieces we can easily be a top 25 team.
