Amari Williams will never make it on campus. I bet he doesn't leave the St Johns visit without a commitment.

this is a real possibility.

I can’t argue with athletic guards who can create, and set up others as long as they can shoot - Sears from Alabama is a perfect example.

agree!  Create and good things will happen.  

if we can get two of Rice, Carlyle or Perkins and Hickman that is a good haul.

This isn’t accurate at all. Cupps is a back up at best, Leal should be the 9th or 10th man on the team, nobody knows if Newton will be able to contribute. They need Athletic guards that can make plays and get in the lane so set up others too. 

added a key word there.  Slashers that can still improve on their 3pt shooting %. 

I suppose if both Perkins and Rice can blow past their defenders with ease that would offset the higher 3pt percentage want here from the two guards.  Defenders are forced to help down or allow Rice/Perkins to get to the rim or in the paint for a short range shot or dish to a big/slasher

Myles Rice is looking interesting 

could both he and the kid from Iowa co-exist as starters?

is this guy the 2nd domino to fall even though he would be near the bottom of our roster?

Give Woodson and Kenya credit. This all happened very quickly. Dude is a McDonald's All American.

Awesome first get. Keep stacking talent and the right pieces and we can be a good team next year.

agree - this escalated very quickly.  I wonder if XJ helped contribute one last assist with this one seeing they both are from the same area?

Is Woody back to cookin?

FWIW, sounds like the All American game is being televised Tuesday, which sounds like a possible commitment date. 
 

Would be funny since Liam and him will play on the same team.

Maybe he'll recruit Liam to IU?

Guess we’ll have to wait a bit. 

Hopefully by April he means next week and not 4 weeks from now

Mbako needs to turn the tacos into NIL.  Get the Ellettsville shell gas station with their amazing tacos to sponsor him 🌮 

are the tacos any good?  I live nearby lol

hopefully this one gets wrapped up soon if it hasn't already been wrapped up behind the public's eye.  Need to move onto the next domino, can't wait too long with the number of holes needing to be filled.

After being done w/ my pouting, this is who I realistically think we land as of now.

Tucker

Blazi 

Bruce Thorton 

4 more to be named. 

I am not in the know but what's signaling you for Bruce to IU? Being linked to Ya?

another all eggs in a very small basket.  It didn't work for Liam, Queen and Fland.  Yes I know Fland didn't play with Liam and Queen.

This seemed to come out of nowhere. Checks all the boxes we need. Hopefully we land him...and a few more like him. 

for me get the first domino to fall and then they'll likely start following shortly after

Unfortunately. And we need about 6 more. 

i suppose Tucker has higher upside but Liam may be the safer bet of the two options(and likely the better 3 pt shooter out of the two).  

Liam out and Tucker in perhaps?

I don't think Walker has to be that at all, I think he can function inside an offense pretty easily. 

But if UK can make it work with Reeves, Dillingham, and Sheppard we can make it work with three guards. 

Woody stands in the way of this becoming the normal at IU running consistent 3 guard lineups.

Just now, DC2345 said:

It's Reneau. He's his favorite 

i was hoping you were leading to a big fish that is still playing lol

Woody's favorite player can't enter the portal

because he's still on another team that is in the tourney, right?

Banks and Gunn 

I assume you are meaning these two are transferring out?

if we win tonight, I truly believe we are at least in the play in games

ahh CMW and his cigar celebrations post game with his "dudes" regardless of wins or losses, golf, and his laziness when in comes to the time required to recruit not just to get a kid to commit but post commitment as well has hurt IU more than Archie did during his 4 years.  

This decomit of Liam is on CMW 100%.  Offense sucks, calling out players and not taking accountability and now we sit here with 0 recruits for 2024 when its due or die for woody AND 2025 isn't necessarily going too hot from a recruiting perspective.  Go ahead and give the guy an advancement and get him out.  More damage will be done to the program with him returning for a single year then restarting now.

Cupps is making $1.2M/year?

Caleb Love must be at least triple that then.
