Pretty sure Rabjohns and him are close friends, so I would assume the IU social media team is using that connection to their advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierdave Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 Also saw this on the BTB board: “FWIW, UK 247 beat reporter Travis Branham re Boogie Fland: Boogie Fland visit went really well. UK leads, but going head to head with Indiana. IU's whole staff is flying in to visit him tonight, to try and turn things around from the UK visit.” 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Travis is technically a national recruiting guy but based in Kentucky so he gets good intel from the BBN folks. If it’s in fact an IU/UK battle then I hope our staff is reminding him that we lose our starting PG after this year and will need someone to fill the void. Idk who the starting PG for Kentucky will be this year (probably Wagner) but I’ve yet to see a single mock draft that has Dillingham being a lotto/1st rounder, so I would assume he would be the starting PG his sophomore season. With all the underclassman/ guards they have, I really wonder if Boogie would be willing to wait it out until he has a better idea of their roster construction… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK struck out on a lot of prospects especially this last year so to act like a kid is practically a lock if they want him is just arrogant and likely not accurate at all. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
