dgambill Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 5 minutes ago, BGleas said: Not accurate. 5/11 is the deadline to enter the portal, it's incredibly far from any deadline for rosters to be finalized. Kids can commit whenever they want basically. There's also a reason a lot of the NBA draft entrants announce their entering the portal or keeping their eligibility open, because it means if they ultimately pull out of the draft then they are still in the portal. The 5/11 date almost literally means nothing. That’s what I thought. So we still have 3 weeks of kids entering the portal before it closes and we HAVE only the 1,000 or so kids to choose from. Also no good players are allowed to be in the portal from here on out…and God forbid if you aren’t highly rated you can’t be a good player. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I don’t get the reason for the sky is falling attitude but it’s you life. Hopefully when we land more kids and fill out the roster we will realize it and it doesn’t get buried under all the 😢 posts about how bad we are. Id hate to miss who we land. Oh we'll definitely add players in the coming weeks, that I'm not worried about. What I'm worried about is adding the level of player that doesn't push the needle for next years prospective. I don't care how big of a sunshine pumper you are, and there's a ton on here, but the quality of player in the portal is dwindling by the day and not even cheeriest of leprechauns can deny that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a pretty safe bet that before the 5/11 deadline that you're so concerned about, there will be several players added to the portal that are much better than Ledlum. There will also be several players that opt out of the NBA Draft as we head into late May or early June that will be available that are much better than Ledlum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the quality of the portal has risen by the day. Thus why when Ledlum entered he was a top 10 kid and by the time he committed he was in the 50s. Can you explain that? Now I don’t put all my eggs in the ranking basket so I don’t know how you are determine talent in the portal but I think it’s very shortsighted to think the best of the portal is going to offer is already past. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a narrative, there are better players in the portal right now than Ledlum and yes there will be better that still enter, along with some NBA declares that opt out. The idea that the roster has to be set by now or next season is screwed is absolutely ridiculous. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU's primary need out of the portal was a proven scorer. We've yet to land one (still). He'll be UT's highest usage player and in theory should be their leading scorer. UT just jumped from 18 to #2 in Bart Torvik's preseason rankings for next year with the addition of Ledlum. He'd be IU's go to player without a doubt given his versatility. And I'm sitting here trying to figure out how I stumbled upon Rainbow and Unicorn Land in a message board about Indiana basketball. Weird. Go back to rivals then so you can be miserable with the rest of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning keeps people and teams together. They'll be like everyone else wants the this current momentum comes to an end..... and it will.

I think you’re missing the big picture on this one. The people providing the money are going to give you more if you have more followers. IU fans clearly follow a large amount of athletes so in turn those athletes can expect a larger NIL deal because of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier987 Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 3 minutes ago, IU Scott said: So what does IU have the sell that all of these others school don't It’s simple. Mike Woodson. We have a former NBA player and coach as our head coach. He’s been the head coach of Hall of Famers, All-Stars and hundreds of NBA players. Woodson also has tremendous connections in the NBA after spending decades there. In 2 years he has developed a big and a guard into legit first round draft picks. Knoxville is a great town…been there several times, I’m sure Tuscaloosa is too and other SEC schools. I’m choosing Indiana because I trust Mike Woodson more than Nate Oats, Rick Barnes, etc… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the team responded nicely to some early season adversity given some of the injuries but in the grand scheme of things, pretty uninspiring regular season given how bad the B10 was. Sweeping Purdue for the first time in a decade was enjoyable. That being said, IU was overmatched and outcoached in several games with a legit NPOY candidate and a first round guard. The season may be 7 months away, but the window to shore up the roster shuts in 2.5 weeks. We're back to square one after missing out on several of our top perimeter prospects. I'm not sitting on my hands waiting for a rabbit to be pulled out of a hat. It doesn't shut on two weeks, it jus mean guys can't enter it after that date and play right away. You can still recruit those guys after that date and they can sign anytime after that date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
