He's doubling down: 

 

 

That's definitely what IU is hoping for but it's not exactly a lock by any means.

I keep seeing them backing up Rice in the projected lineup, although I don’t think that’s realistic. I think they start Galloway

Galloway will not be starting unless there's injuries.

Who ever talked Woodson into that one is a dumbass and should be fired today. if thats true.

I don't know who but there are several programs around the country that do that. I don't agree with it but I have seen schools benefit from it before.

That's stupid. But ok 

They like holding one open just in case someone pops up right before the season or during the season they want to add. 

I'd put it at a 95% chance that the roster looks like this. 

1. Rice, Galloway, Cupps

2. Carlyle, Leal, Newton

3. Mgbako, Tucker 

4. Reneau, Goode

5. Ballo, Transfer

1 open scholarship

If we get Goode--- I want big guy, big guy in the last two roster spots. 

They will likely only fill 12 of the 13 scholarships

I agree otherwise we could have just rolled with Sparks again. They seem like similar types of players. Decent offense and rebounding, not athletic, not good FT shooters. I'd rather just have an all defensive type guy. But I also don't know who's interested. 

That's the problem. IU doesn't have a ton of minutes to offer so only a handful of guys will be interested in signing up for that.

Has the ship sailed on Malone? Sorry if I missed an update.

 

Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if he goes to ND

we have been? 

I'd prefer a better rim protector, but I think this kid has two years left. 

Yes, there has been some contact and interest. He isn't much of a rim protector but he is a really good rebounder. They could definitely do worse given the fact Reneau will likely see some stints at the 5 as well throughout the season.  

Nikita Konstantynovskyi who's a 6'10 F/C from Monmouth is a name that the staff has been in contact with and there might be some interest. 

Now the question is this. Who will be the backup 5

Indiana not mentioned here, would say we're not involved with TJ Power going forward.

 

 

They haven’t been in the mix there ever since the weekend when they got Goode convinced to jump in the portal 

Mike Woodson and the staff are visiting Greenfield Central today

If Caleb Furst hit the portal would he be someone we look at? There's speculation by some Purdue fans that he might..Both being from Fort Wayne, I'm sure Goode could do a little recruiting assuming he commits...

I don't see that happening. 

Goode visit may be happening on Thursday. 

1. Rice, Galloway, Cupps

2. Carlyle, Tucker, Newton

3. Mgbako, Leal

4. Reneau, Goode

5. Ballo

2 spots left that they can use

Same, i was told by a couple of young men, they saw him but he was just visiting his brother. So they were holding back or didnt know.

Might've been a combination of both.

Now my follow up question… did they follow up “no it’s not Goode” with a winky face lmao

There was so many Goode rumors swirling from different sources it was hard to keep up there for a bit. Some said he was staying, some said he was portaling, and some said he was portaling and heading to IU.

No f'ing way we are slow playing him. 

They might be. Goode just entered the portal

2 hours ago, ephul said:

Insiders claim he may or may not commit. It may or may not be imminent. The portal is fluid.

You heard it here first.

That is true. I've heard that IU may be slow playing him a bit or that he might commit today. Things can at times be all over the place with portal players.

Do you believe there is any truth to that rumor of the mystery player

Yes, and I think that's where the Goode rumors originated. I wish I knew who it was but very few people are willing to share the name since the player hasn't entered the portal yet.

the smoke was from the pot being smoked on campus during little 5. kid was visiting his brother.

That was really what I personally thought but other people were saying there was something to it. I think it’s because of the vague clues about a senior that’s going to enter the portal that’s a shooter that is supposedly a done deal to IU but he hasn’t yet entered the portal.
