What is the plan? Do you have any idea as to what they’re looking for, the scholarships they want for the next class, etc?

 

sorry if you’ve said this and I didn’t catch it and thanks a lot

Hatton will be the 12th and likely last scholarship filled. Then the focus will be on the 2025 class of Haralson, Mullins, Sisley, Moreno and others. 

Muhammad would be the 13th scholarship. I don’t believe IU wants to use all 13 so he’s likely just a guy they contacted to see what was going on and showed a little bit interest.

I'm not sure this is a legit name to worry about.

@DC2345 are you hearing anything? Is it most likely Hatton? 

The only person this could be referencing from what I've heard is Hatton. 

I haven’t been around as much the last week or so but Hatton will be a Hoosier

Would love to get Miller but I think he goes somewhere willing to offer him more minutes than we can.

That’s the problem. Finding a quality transfer big that is content with a lesser role isn’t the easiest thing to do.

Is the Monmouth center still in the mix?

I don't think so

I don't think that Miller will happen.

I just saw an article where the person wrote our last two signings will be AH and Baba Miller. I haven’t heard his name discussed once in here. Thoughts everyone?

Some people think Miller and IU is a possibility and some don't. Rabby for example said that's a possibility but Trilly didn't think so. Thats a weird one but he's also an international player so their might not be as many sources tuned into his recruitment.

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
