Check out this article from IndyStar:

Xavier Booker is a 6-11 3-point shooting, shot-blocking marvel. And only getting better.

this is super exciting!  i think it has to mean TJD or JG are not coming back.  my thought is TJD bc it's hard to see Reneau not starting.  either way, such an exciting talent boost!  

I think this Has nothing to do with either TJD or JG coming back or leaving . Now, get a commitment from Dennis or McNeil and THAT would most likely mean someone from last year is not here this year.

Anybody in the know hearing anything ?

Kenya Hunter was lead recruiter for Malik, JHS and Tamar.  Don't underestimate Kenya

I'd lean Logan as JG can play multiple spots  3/4/5(5 in a pinch) whereas Logan is tied to the Center spot

I could see Logan IF Trayce comes back as he might see himself as third option; but if Trayce leaves not so sure.

This is where I want that current available spot to go. Saw him on tv recently; very good rebounder and knows how to score inside. IU could use that as I’ve seen too many missed shots up close. Plus can’t hurt on Evans next year if two teammates are already here.

Boom baby!!

Just saw on Twitter that Rolfe is here today on an unofficial visit.  Surprised  haven’t seen anything on his visit here yet. Must mean he’s at least a little interested about walking on as mentioned previously.
 

basketball used to be 15 scholarships also , but was reduced to 13  in the 1992-93 season as a result of cost cutting reform measures strongly influenced by the Presidents Commission trying to control soaring athletic department budgets ( South Florida SunSentinel) LOL. I always thought it was an attempt to “spread the wealth “.

I was surprised that the women got 15.  I just think that at the time ( amid maybe now?) Women we’re an afterthought by the NCAA.

Give me DD and McNeil and tell Logan to get lost if TJD comes back. 

Don’t understand the negativity toward Logan Duncomb ; the few minutes I saw him thought he looked for the limited minutes and situation. Think he’s a good player and would fit in well in Woody’s offense.

We should take Edert just for the mustache.  Him shooting over 40% from three doesn’t hurt either.

I believe this one is going to come down to how he can develop the most in which system in order to get ready for the NBA.. as well as how much money he can make with NIL 

Then Kentucky should be out; Cal and player development don’t go together; actually sounded more enthusiastic about IU in my opinion.

You guys that listen to him... are going to come on here and tell us what he says, aren't you? 

I’m not going to listen, but you know what he’s going to say. X  not a team player, shouldn’t be on team but Woody won’t do what’s needed, blah, blah, blah.

totally disagree.  society today is that it is never my fault.  blame it on everyone else.  

I agree, there is a lot of non- responsibility but that ties in with the somebody got to pay  attitude that exists. And yes going 90 and resisting arrest is no doubt a bid deal and there should be consequences. But in  in the scale of criminal activity not sure if this isn’t lower on the scale. Consequences neared to match the “crime”. Don’t know the details And don’t know the kid so don’t If  this a pattern. And no, breaking curfew doesn’t count.

Do not know Xavier or what kind of person he is; however as said in another thread, in Society today seems like there has to be someone to blame, heads have to roll. There are no accidents and no passes on mistakes. No wonder there’ such division today. Be nice to strive to be nicer.

Man I hope IU can land this kid! Impressive as hell. Great rebounder and inside game. Doesn’t look like he shoots much from outside though.

And him and JHS look like they have a connection.
