Would be pleasantly surprised if we win this game, which is sad. Ridiculous turnovers and decision making. Northwestern playing smart, team basketball. Need to lock down on D and get transition buckets.

Not sure if this woman has a HSN account, but if she does and is reading this, thank you for making that poster! It’s reasons like this that Liam says in his Daily Hoosier interview that IU fans, “are crazy too, and that’s NOT the same with every school that’s recruiting me right now.” With no mention of Texas and no visits planned, feels like we can really separate ourselves from the pack and hopefully secure a commitment. Especially since I feel like Texas will get a good coach and their staff will make sure to prioritize a local kid like Liam.

When you can’t rely on the refs to fabricate another technical.

He’s apparently visiting Cincy this week so could be over soon. Sigh.

Guess package deal seems more likely now…

https://www.on3.com/news/four-star-jamie-kaiser-sets-commitment-date-down-to-3-schools/ I know rumors are Maryland but the way he talks about IU in comparison to the others gives me hope. Marylands pitch is basically stay home and play a ton.

Would be a bit of a head scratcher to choose the local college after you just announced you’re leaving to go to a Florida prep school, but I’ve given up trying to understand the logic of teenagers a long time ago lol.

Not ideal he’s going to visit Maryland but that to me gives me the impression either he and his family feel they should give the hometown school one final look or the coaching staff requested he visit because they feel he’s headed to IU.

I could be wrong but pretty sure he said “top teams at 6pm” on the 25th, not a top 6. Wouldn’t shock me if he had like a Top 8 or more based on how many schools are interested and visits he’s taken/lined up.

I was talking about Xavier booker commenting on the photo. He said “hmm”, which is why I said I think Booker is just teasing IU fans but maybe the visit helped move us back into serious consideration with him.

I feel like it’s a giant tease but he did comment on this post. Visit this week gave us a chance now?

I can’t imagine the reaction if this dude takes the final scholarship and we have no room for TJD… Unless some in-state kid like Leal volunteered his scholarship up if Dennis committed too, I don’t understand why we’re still involved here.

Maybe we can help him get a Brooks Ketchup NIL deal and he can pay his way here as a walk on 😂. Otherwise, he’s not some first team all American talent you’d be dumb to not try and add to your roster. His skill set isnt really filling in any gaps we need.

More teams entering the mix, fyi

Not sure, it’s really unclear. There were definitely fans vocalizing disinterest in him joining but I know his last like on his Twitter feed was an IU fan telling him to pin Bloomington as his destination cuz that’s his next stop.

Also just saw Jeff Goodman report Wichita State started an NIL collective and resulted in a player staying, so maybe he’s backing off his top 5 and reconsidering his options? Apparently TCU and Texas A&M reached out recently too. Frankly I’d be ok if this dragged out and we got word on TJD’s situation first.
