I don't call UK, Duke, KU or UNC as urban areas I could be way off base. But I've heard rumblings about that before. About Bloomington being a podunk town.

IU Scott Posted October 8 Report Share Posted October 8 Take it for what it is worth. Talking to my brother and he was talking with his former son and law about Mullins. His son of law is friends with Mullins dad and said UCONN offered $750,000. So if we doubled their offer that would mean 1.5 mil. I have a hard time believing we would offer that much.

Shoot I could offer $3M but that would be a player/team incentive contract unlike no other...i.e. you get $100k for each round you advance in tourney and $500k for F4 berth. I know it sounds outlandish but that's where this stuff is headed if not already there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And she's a great coach with a great program. Cignetti is 6-0 and just lost his only 4 star recruit. Look at schools like UofL and Maryland and they out recruit us in every sport. IU isn't an Urban environment. It's a turn off to some kids. Put IU in Indianapolis and we'd recruit better in all 24 sports. And yet all of the urban kids you mention come back to Bloomington every chance they get during season or off season. No offense to you (don't recognize your call sign) but that Bloomington is a podunk town has been debunked since Zeke came from the West side....

So if we doubled their offer that would mean 1.5 mil. I have a hard time believing we would offer that much. I see this going one of two ways. A) you get a great player that wants to be a part of something great and bets on them and their team to succeed, or b) you get a player who wants no strings attached to the money and games won. we have to really start thinking about a lot of these players as one year rentals. Similar to a playoff push in baseball when a surging team needs a SP to get over the hump, knowing they could be outbid when his contract expires. You’ve just got to go for it and hope the pieces fit together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indykev Posted October 9 Report Share Posted October 9 (edited) Does it really matter in the end. we'll have 13 no matter what. Woodson seems to do better recruiting other teams castoffs. He doesnt have to recruit them for to long. Edited October 9 by Indykev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwtaylor1055 Posted October 9 Report Share Posted October 9 (edited) per the UCONN board, it looks like Jacob Furphy to UCONN is a done deal. Might have some impact on BM choosing them, maybe not. Lots of competition. Not sure BM gets more than 20 mins per game with the log jam they have assuming Furphy commits. Assuming Furphy picks UCONN, this would give them 6 top 50 kids, with two or three of them having shooting as their #1 strength. They have 2 or 3 SFs as well.

KDB Posted October 9 Author Report Share Posted October 9 No info on this, but you would think UConn taking Furphy as well is a factor. Braylon is our clear #1 priority at SG and has been since we offered. It's getting busy in their backcourt next year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted October 9 Report Share Posted October 9 That UConn board post didnt really say some deal to me, but the point remains he is very likely and hopefully going to UConn. I don’t know how Mullins could still choose them after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maedhros Posted October 9 Report Share Posted October 9 Hey, being the last chair left when the music stopped is how we got Romeo. If that's how we get Braylon, I'll take it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
