I like a good riddle I can say he is right, we all know new names will pop up. Saying the names before hand well thats the trick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does no good to start saying names of kids IU has had back-channel discussions with prior to them entering the portal. IU has been doing their work on some of these kids. At least 1 is still playing. That's why it's important to be patient. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more talking to AAU coaches, HS coaches, family members, and people like that. It's done by almost every school that uses the portal to their advantage. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's done by almost every school that uses the portal to their advantage. 100%. Also no prohibition against players talking. "NCAA rules prohibit any representative of another athletics department from making contact with a player at another school who has not entered the transfer portal, either directly or indirectly. That rule, however, has proven difficult to enforce, as proof of such conversations can be difficult to obtain. Coaches can also use players' high school coaches, for instance, as intermediaries to make known the opportunities that player might have at a different school without contacting the player directly. (The NCAA's general toothlessness in enforcing much of anything hasn't helped, either.)" "Technically, schools and coaches aren’t allowed to contact or recruit athletes until they are officially in the portal. However, it would be naïve to think that everyone is abiding by those rules. Quite frankly, it’s certainly possible that if a school or coach waits that long, it might be too late to have a real chance at landing certain transfers." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also a certain IU commit that has been doing some posting on players social media and communicating with players at other schools. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they are worth it. It could be that the coaches get wind from the players themselves that they would be interested. Which would be different than actively recruiting that said person prior to interest. 🤷🏻♂️ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you offer any generalities, though, about the types of players we're talking about? E.g., bigs vs wings, P5 vs mid major, seniors vs underclassmen.

But yet it's ok "saying names of kids" (or at least implying through omission) in the IU Roster thread? Our kids haven't entered the portal either...

Danomatic Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 Completely unrelated, but I watched Blue Chips last night. Even back in 1994, when this movie came out… there was obvious evidence of tampering/illegal recruiting. Most of us just wanted to look the other way. I feel like you have to use back channels anymore to compete for these kids. Now that you can legally pay for their services, it seems like having backhanded conversations isn’t all that bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
