Inequality Posted October 10 Report Share Posted October 10 Keep speculating folks. It’s what makes these boards fun and entertaining. Cant be mad at the monetizers either. Rage clicks are part of the business model. No one has inner circle info. It’s just conjecture for most and a race to be first for others. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted October 10 Report Share Posted October 10 4 hours ago, IU Scott said: Don't get me wrong I hope we get Mullins but I am more concerned with our front court recruiting for next year. If Rice, Carlyle and Tucker come back along with Cups and Newton our guards and wings would still be good. On the other hand the front court player coming back is Reneau and I wouldn't be surprised if this is his last year at IU The one thing I don’t mind using the portal for is front court players (5s). They usually take a couple years to develop and so getting a guy that just needs polished instead of having to bring one along for 3-4 years isn’t a problem in my eyes. Guards and wings typically need several years in an offense to really learn it and get the most out of them so I like bringing in young and raising them up. Maybe sprinkle a 1 and done and portal stud in as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying UConn won’t be the final choice but I also know a final decision hasn’t been made. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDB Posted October 11 Author Report Share Posted October 11 Based on a conversation I had tonight, I can’t say that a decision has been made, but I can say I haven’t been given reason for optimism that IU will be the choice. Unless they’re doing a really good job talking up UConn to hide the fact that it’s going to be IU. LOL. I’m not optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huntnfreak Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 This really has a Haralson vibe to it..in my opinion. We lose out to a winning culture of UCONN plain and simple. Is what it is. Start winning and things change…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 (edited) I have no idea what he’s doing and I am way past being that invested. But this board is a small sample size of the fan base. There’s a large tsunami of fans who aren’t going to post here or care about an AAU tourney in Fishers in June but they will notice the final tally when it comes to recruits. And not all recruitments are equal. If we don’t get BM, and I sure hope we do, this may get a yawn here but it will not be well received by the larger fan base. This is not a guy Woody wants to miss. There will be considerable backlash and it will last for as long as BM plays. This is DEFCON 1. We are going to have a good season because of the roster but this will get noticed anyway. A top 25 kid perceived as a classic IU type — and one who can shoot lights out to boot after IU’s struggles that way — is not a guy the fan base at large will look away from. Woody is not dumb and is surely aware of that. Not every recruit is at the same level of importance. This young man is out of central casting for an IU player and if he leaves despite all the advantages it means in-state for life, it will be seen as damning. Don’t kid yourself.
