Anyone actually think we'll get Mullins?

Wouldn’t going to IU be better for his family to be able to see him play?
That line of thinking is old fashion, along with believing he would have better opportunities here after basketball as a "hometown hero". It's not 1960 anymore...3-4 games a year on a tin-foil topped, rabbit-eared and fuzzy screened Ch 4 with Chesty potato chip commercials. What's staying home going to get him, a larger network as an insurance salesman? More home listings as a real estate agent? It's a smaller world now, getting smaller by the day with the speed of technology. He'll go where he has the best chance to demonstrate his basketball skills during the time allotted. Nothing else matters in this coddled world of today's athletes we choose to worship.

What a damning Indy Star article. This was a Hurley vs Walsh recruitment. Never mentioned Woodson once.

Our assistants are doing everything they can to keep us in the game. The head coach is lazy and can't close.

I'd love to be optimistic about this year, but you just know hell play two bigs a lot of the time. It's who he is.
 
I'm hearing he was front row at Elvis performance in Vegas. This is getting confusing.
Fat Elvis??

Disappointing only because it's an Indiana kid. Not the end of the world though. What it does is put more pressure on transfer portal success.

Now that this kid is off the board I will add I didn't care for some of the things his dad said over the past couple weeks. Too full of himself. Be proud of your kid but don't be arrogant.
 
Dolson will get another shot to get the next hire right. Woody imho won’t get an extension. Will ride this contract out probably. (Even though that normally doesn’t happen)
 
It will be interesting to see how Mullins and McNeeley develop. From highlights, they are both multiple year college players and fringe NBA guys. Hurley is making a lot of promises

don't see that happening. I think they'll either do well enough to garner an extension (pretty minimal in my mind: top 4 and making the tourney), or Dolson will recognize CMW ain't the guy and make a power play and get him out.

I don't know what will happen, but I don't know how a coach can recruit '25 and especially '26 with a contract expiring in '26. Recruits are going to wonder who will be their coach after one or two years, and also why the coach they're committing to didn't get a new contract. It's messy.
 
Transfer rules at Michigan are hard to overcome. NIL isn’t great(for basketball). He’s playing with a different set of rules up there.
Who needs great NIL? IU has great NIL??? How is it working? I think most players want to WIN! Michigan will be the surprise of the BT. From all indications May can build a team and coach! I think IU needs to spend more NIL on their football program.

I've never seen any NIL $ made public anywhere. As far as transfer rules, are you saying UM frowns on transfers? I do know May got a commitment from what many consider the #1 rated foreign player Goodman recently.

They only take up to sophomore credits or graduate transfers. They have lost recruits because of this. They had a junior transfer from Stanford that lost almost all his credits but stayed anyway. The NIL for basketball is an afterthought compared to a lot of places.

Why are you speaking to me?
