The Hickman spot if it's not him still has to be a SHOOTER. Humrichous would be ideal behind Malik with his shooting, but I have a feeling he will want to start somewhere (and he's good enough). 

Humrichous isn't focusing on schools for a while so we'll see how rosters look in May when he starts to focus on that. Hickman or another shooter is definitely needed

We need more than just one shooter…. my two cents. 

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

IU is still in pursuit of Conwell fwiw

Rice + Carlyle = Hoosiers 

Who's next?

Can one of those TBD be changed to TJD? Asking for a friend. 😎

Nope, to many bigs already

FWIW-- Chris on BTBers says Carlyle to IU is a done deal too. 

It is. Carlyle has been leaning towards IU for a while 

1. Rice, Galloway, Cupps

2. Carlyle, Hickman, Newton

3. Mgbako, Tucker

4. Reneau, TBD

5. Ballo, TBD

Wish we could get in on Cade Tyson. 

Well that would be great but IU really doesn’t have a spot for him with MM and Tucker already on the roster

Bowl of Rice

reading tea leaves you HAVE to imagine Rice is an Indiana Hoosier

 

That remains a great possibility

Looks like we’re his first visit. 
 

Is he a bigger priority than Williams/Wolf/Bradshaw or just that we have more mutual interests?

Yes, IU REALLY wants him.

Ballo visit incoming 

14th-16th

Just now, IUFLA said:

To be honest, I think he's better off... Happiness trumps everything...

He definitely is. It'll be interesting to see if they get turned down anymore

If anyone could lure Drew away from Baylor it's probably Barnhart because of the relationship. I had a mentor tell me one time, you get very few opportunities to pick your boss. Barnhart is 64, but they just extended his contract until 2028. 

Well now Drew has said no

I'm not sure Drew is a good fit at UK...

Wife is an introvert...Has kids...Very devoutly religious...

Even starting out there will be a lot of external pressure...He'd better win early and often...If not, that fan base will eat him alive...

I don't completely disagree but that whole family is super competitive. He's also long been the UK AD's top choice.

This shit's even better than flight tracking. 😄

 

Especially given the fact that it was planned by Drew because his family was touring UK

I would be somewhat surprised if Drew isn't the UK coach by the end of the day.

There was a visit list somewhere... 

Myles Rice April 12

Payne 13th? or when does his start? 

Hickman April 14th?

-------------------------------

Who else? Carlyle is confirmed April 19th? 

Payne is 12-14

Hickman 14

Carlyle and Williams are for little 500

While i wouldn’t love the fit with MR, hes built for the b1g, would be interesting to see his role 

I don’t know but he rebounds, blocks shots, and is a lob threat him the pick and roll. I like having talent and he’d bring experience too. I could also see Reneau increasing his 3’s next year too.

A Ballo visit is possible

How do you feel about our chances of landing one or both of them?

I feel good about Rice right now. Conwell I think there’s a chance but I’m not sure how quickly that’ll play out.

Seems like most info is coming from Rabby from what I am gathering. I can't speak for @DC2345 

But some of this stuff I see people quoting Rabby. 

It mostly all the same info floating around and until guys are on campus there isn’t much to share. Rice is priority #1, then everyone else at this point. Other names to know to certain levels right now are Payne, Conwell, Hickman, Carlyle, Williams, Ballo(IU really wants him), Wolf(if he doesn’t commit to UM this weekend), Humrichous(but he’s going to take a while), and Perkins(things have been very quiet lately but who knows).

If two guys (Rice & Conwell) have already said yes to IU, what is delaying them making it official? 

They’re going to take visits. Conwell hasn’t said yes to anything yet.
