Galloway and Walsh following Ballo now via Instagram.  Total rises to 8 individuals tied to IU now

Ballo sharing Cupps Instagram story from last night. Finding it hard to believe we lose Ballo. 

Gabe posted a photo on his instgram story during photos for Ballo.  Also, MM and Leal now following Ballo via instgram.  

To my if we don't hear of a commitment by 3pm I will be starting to get a little worried on this one

Sorry, been gone for a few days.

Ballo is done 👍

Hickman 👍

And I'm still hearing Conwell. 

you hit on Rice, can we go 3/3 with Ballo and Hickman?  Here is to hoping!

I wouldn’t read toooo much into that. Last year a lot of guys we were talking to started following each other.

fair - although lots of current staff or players started following Rice and Carlyle before the crystal balls came rolling in for both of them.  

Myles Rice now following Payne via Instagram.  Only Cupps were following him prior to yesterday

 Start: Rice, Carlyle, MM, MR and Ballo

Bench: Cupps, Hickman, Gallo, Tucker, Player TBD(payne or another big)

Deep Bench: Newton

I don't know. I don't make those decisions. I will say that although he played well we really don't know how Conwell would do playing in a major conference for an entire season. I believe he would translate just fine but nobody has seen it yet. 

my biggest concern with conwell here - how will he translate to a major conference for an entire season.

Well one of the guys that will lead IU in 3's next year is already on the roster. Carlyle and Rice will obviously have to show improvement. IU still wants a stretch big and a shooter

MM for 3's?

Rice + Carlyle = Hoosiers 

Who's next?

Ballo and Conwell

If Rice and Carlyle becomes reality, we are getting TWO dynamic guards that can score, setup teammates and get past their defenders.  Now go land a top end 3pt shooter and a big to go along with Tucker and that will be a very good offseason.  

@RoadToZion was on these two early if this comes to fruition like all signs are pointing towards

Copying this to this thread-

 

Snip it below from the article above:

"The 6-foot-3 and 180-pound Rice rewrote the school freshman record book at WSU, breaking the single-game scoring, single-season scoring, single-season steals, single-season assists, single-season field goals, and single-season free throw percentage records. He averaged 14.8 points per game and led the Cougars to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 16 years." 

If Rice did this as a freshman at IU he'd have twice maybe three times the recognition that he has currently.  

Justin Hokanson confirming via twitter that rice no longer visiting Auburn.  I believe Justin covers Auburn via On3

he just forgot him.

has to be good news for Rice to IU seeing how Auburn was in on Rice

Apparently Auburn was our biggest competitor for Rice and they just got a crystal ball for the Furman pg who cancelled his other visits.

maybe we got lucky and he committed without visiting lol

Would be a big get for IU

the dead period ends today I saw late last night - Let the games begin!
