^^This^^ There were times during previous coaches that our recruiting played to Benny Hill chase music.

Indiana roster, height, weight for all players this coming season. Some weight changes last season to now: Kel’el Ware – 210 –> 230 Malik Reneau – 235 –> 233 Payton Sparks – 240 –> 255 https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/indiana-basketball-the-2023-24-roster-and-staff/

Rico! A drone got this picture of you on your fishing trip.

Top 50 player who committed to Kansas, spent a month there, then ditched them for Gonzaga, when the following was written: "Adams Jr. looks to be in the long haul with Gonzaga. He can be the next star in Spokane for a long time." Well, a "long time" turned out to be 3 weeks. I wonder what the reasons are for the moves?

2025 5-star Caleb Wilson considering Indiana visit. 6'9" forward, ranked #4 player in the class. Article and 2 videos at: https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-recruiting-2025-5-star-caleb-wilson-considering-a-visit/

Interesting. He's a Top 10 recruit with one unofficial visit to Indiana already. 2025 guard from Michigan. 6'4" 205 lbs. I thought both sides had moved on. Then this popped up yesterday on his Twitter. I agree, gnet550, it's hard to know what to make of this. I've read no chatter anywhere (I'm not an insider, tho).

My money's on you in a fair fight, IUFLA.

Ohio State, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Minnesota, and this on Michigan: "I don’t think anyone would be surprised if this is Howard’s last year." That can't help his recruiting. Sounds like he has one foot out the door already. We are so lucky to have Mike Woodson and the staff he has assembled. https://burnerball.com/coaching-carousel-conference-preview-big-ten/

ON3 now predicts Derik Queen 63% Indiana, 28% Maryland. This is from their "machine learning" algorithm. Which is a fancier way of guessing. Other sources say Maryland still leads.

Top-40 2025 guard Kiyan Anthony planning to visit Indiana 10-time NBA all-star Carmelo Anthony's son offered in May. “For me as a player, I had some of my best NBA years under Mike Woodson,” Carmelo said. Current IU forward Mackenzie Mgbako consulted Carmelo regarding Woodson when he was considering Indiana during his recruitment. Former IU star Trayce Jackson-Davis did the same when IU hired Woodson. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/2025-guard-kiyan-anthony-planning-to-visit-iu-basketball/

From TheDailyHoosier: "Also coming (on Sept 2, the same day as Adams and Haralson) is 7'0" center Malachi Moreno. Collectively IU will have three of the top 50 players in the 2025 class on campus for the first football weekend." https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/national-top-30-class-of-2025-guard-darius-adams-will-visit-iu-in-early-september/

Top 20 player Nate Ament (2025) hearing often from Indiana. May visit. Kenya Hunter is lead recruiter. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-recruiting-class-of-2025-names-to-know-top-25-wing-nate-ament/?fbclid=IwAR2lBIkFZiopscIwm3nOl8rmRboMwHneouNhgur4khvueSVAbXoz8peIKss#google_vignette

101 degrees in Madison Wisconsin yesterday. Will reach 96 today. A sandhill crane visited a neighbor's birdbath.

Sign 4 freshmen, get 2 more starters in the portal next Spring for a total of 6, and go win a championship.

6'4" guard Darius Adams of La Lumiere will visit Indiana on Sept. 2. That's the same day his LaLu teammate 6'6" guard Jalen Haralson will visit Indiana. Both class of 2025.

Top-20 2025 guard Tyler Jackson considering Indiana visit Considered the top combo guard in the country. Played on same team as Derik Queen this summer. He averaged 30 ppg, shooting 50% from three. "He also knows Carmelo Anthony, a fellow Baltimore product who is close with IU coach Mike Woodson." https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-recruiting-top-20-2025-guard-tyler-jackson-considering-indiana-visit/

All I know is: 14,000 years ago, Madison Wi was under 2,000 feet of ice. So I'm happy with the change, as I only have a single-stage snowblower. This is what our July 4 used to look like:

Nice update from TheDailyHoosier: "IU basketball will have three members of the Montverde Academy team on campus Sept. 8-10. Class of 2024 point guard Curtis Givens III will join his teammates Liam McNeeley and Derik Queen in Bloomington that weekend. All three will be there on official visits." https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/2024-pg-curtis-givens-to-join-montverde-teammates-on-september-iu-basketball-visit/

2024 Top 30 guard's official Indiana visit set for Sept 29. Boateng is friends with IU center and fellow Arkansas product Kel’el Ware. “He’s having a good time there and I know I probably would too,” Boateng said of Ware. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/class-of-2024-top-25-guard-annor-boateng-schedules-iu-basketball-official-visit/

Top 60 guard Givens will visit Indiana (for the first time) the same weekend as Queen and McNeeley. All three are with Montverde, Fla. Details and video: https://www.insidethehall.com/2023/08/19/class-of-2024-guard-curtis-givens-iii-sets-date-for-indiana-official-visit/

Chicago politely asks criminals to shoot each other only at night, between 9pm and 9am. One of the comments is: "New law: no drive-bys unless in electric vehicles." https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12423213/Chicago-Alderman-backs-plea-Windy-Citys-criminals-shoot-guns-hours-9pm-9am-minimize-risk-innocent-people-shot.html#reader-comments

I read your post and heard Boomhauer's voice.

Well deserved! This should help recruiting, too.
