Funny post from the Kansas board:

Mgbako is Mgbagoing to IU. You can Mgbook it.

Ha. That’s pretty good.

IU's had kid's that've been "verbal commits" on visits that didn't end up officially committing to IU. Sometimes kids say things that make coaches think they will come to their school and then they don't.

I’m sure we could go back through our old recruiting threads and find an example of this happening. 

I’m going with Kansas just because that’s why it’s gone for as long as I can remember. 

I guess Tatum remembered he was adequate at basketball.

Malcom Brogdon has also been am absolute train wreck in this series. 

To that end it seems to me that the coach needs to start putting his foot down or something and be like look get the ball to Tatum or Brown. I understand Tatum has not been great this game but the role players and not playing their roles tonight. They are acting like they are stars.

So either way not a unanimous 5 star like MM and the try to be correction master of  Indyresident who has been doom and gloom saying the staff is incompetent and can’t recruit. 
So I’ll rephrase. When was the last time Indiana had a chance with an out of state top 10 nationally ranked high school recruit. 

Too long?

JHS was a 4 star, Malik 4 star, Ware not high school recruit. 😬. Thanks. Why don’t you go back to your doom and gloom hole. 

That actually depends on where you look. 247 had them both as 4 stars. Rivals has them both as 5 stars. ESPN has Malik as 5 and JHS as a 4.

Double header.

Time TBD, but they will place IU and KU logos on an aircraft carrier and a navy paratrooper will land on the selected team

That would be a pretty sweet way to announce it.

I'm in total agreement, then I take a look at the rest of the threads where we are talking about recruiting guys in '25 and '26, those are years long recruitments lol.  this has been like 2 weeks and i'm dead.  I don't blame the kid if he takes another week to figure out what he wants, but it's a very tight timeline for a recruitment. 

It’s the same thing over and over. It’s fun for a little while then it gets to this point and it’s just like man it’s getting out of hand, but we will be right back to this point again down the road with someone else.

Then the convo just switches to Dingle or whomever the next flavor of the moment is.

You’re not wrong…

At this point I wish he’d just commit so we can get this over with.

What the hell does this mean anyways. 

Supposedly a Kansas insider guy tweets that when a commit is about to happen.

Going to do my best to be super clear here. I love our "insiders" that post here, BTB's and other forums. I think they're good people, great members of these communities, I enjoy what they share, and I hope they always continue to share and post. This isn't a knock on them whatsoever. 

With that said, I think 90-95% of the "insider" information is BS, and I'm including the twitter people, reporters, etc.. I believe our insiders have connections and I believe they hear things from those connections and they share it. Again, I have no issue with the "insiders" themselves, this isn't about them.

But, I've been on the inside at the NBA level. Maybe not apples-to-apples, but pretty darn close. The people that the "insiders" are connected to don't know much. They're sharing what they think they know to seem important. Anyone that actually knows what is really going on isn't running around sharing it.

Part of my job in the NBA was to monitor blog sites, media, etc. I would literally sit at my desk with co-workers LOL'ing at the stuff on those sites being passed around as "insider information" and talked about like it was real and accurate. It was almost always not even remotely close. 

I was in PR, so not in basketball operations, but as close as you can get without being in that department. I'd write the press releases when we made a trade, so again super early in the chain of people finding out about our transactions, and they were almost always out of the blue. I attended all of the draft workouts and sat in the teams war room, yet almost never knew who we were going to draft until the GM told us. The trades we announced were almost (keyword, because of course some times things do get out) never things that were being rumored in the media, blogs, etc.

I mean, Mike Woodson and the coaching staff aren't leaking information on each step of the recruitments like a lot of people seem to think. They're not leaking info on recruiting visits to Jeff Rabjohns like some seem to think.

The vast majority of info that comes out is the telephone game with one-sided info originated from people that really don't know anything. 

 

So not to derail the thread too much but as an example. The thing that Shams tweeted about Dillion Brooks the other day right?

Yeah, probably. But I didn't see a ton of upside in the others. 

I don't see anything "wrong" with it. Just needs to work... 

He's crazy young. 

Oh wow. I didn’t realize he was that young. He’s like Lamar.

My dad and I thought the Levis talk was smoke.

I usually look to you for your thoughts and insight for football. I like the pick with AR. Do you think it’s a big of a risk as people think it is?

Which broadcast do you watch the draft on

 I am starting to like the NFL Network better than ESPN especially on the later rounds. It seems ESPN in the later rounds skips a lot of picks and don't analyze each player.

 

ESPN for the first round. Then nfl network for the rest.

Kenya Hunter and Brian Walsh. 

Oh yeah. I always forget Walsh was on the previous staff for some reason.

Two out of the three assistant’s were initially brought to Indiana by Archie. Totally relevant.

 

 

Um. Which two would that be?
