Wilkerson

[kmathum]

Sadly, that is the state of College basketball. All about the money, no team focus, no honor, just a paycheck. And, if the player doesn't get their minutes to contribute to their paycheck, they walk. Love them or not, the coaches of old (Knight, Keady) would struggle in this "all about me" world we call college basketball.

Yes. It would have been quite interesting to see how coach Knight would have dealt with NIL and the Transfer portal.

Auburn trip canceled.

Oh boy. Won’t be long now. It’d sure be nice to get a Wilkerson and Conerly start to the week. But then, I didn’t know Conerly existed a week or so ago. And not much further back for Wilkerson. There are 1800 or so other fish in the sea if neither commit.

Also would be surprised if we don’t get a visit from Overton soon as well. But I guess DeVries has only gotten 1 former player to even consider IU (outside his son). He did get him though, so that’s good. Overton would be a huge get. Hope he liked his time with DeVries.

That dude cooked us a couple years ago. Played for Harvard didn’t he?

Yes. Kenny Johnson coming in hot.

That’s him. He was one of the 637 guards that tore us up that season

I get it we have 4 players and are desperate to put a team together but it seems surreal that our week is make or break on a kid from Sam Houston. Not saying he sucks and that it won't be disappointing if he goes the UK route, but Sam Houston.

Wilkerson has cancelled his Auburn visit and will be choosing between IU and Kentucky (per multiple reports). A decision will occur in the coming days.

Rupp Rafters says he’s Kentucky bound

Rupp Rafters says he’s Kentucky bound

Timing would indicate that’s most likely. Never know though?

 

[IUNorth]

Yes. Kenny Johnson coming in hot.

Not that they need to be mutually exclusive, but Conerly and Mack would be a pretty damned good backcourt. With or without Wilkerson.

I have to admit…Wilkerson had me at his PPG and shooting numbers. Does he defend? Rebound? Handle the ball well?

If that’s true don’t you think he would have announced by now?

Every minute improves our chances. Ha ha. I’m just spitballing. Who knows. Just following the “last visit” theory.

 

[bailey777]

Well he hasn't committed to UK yet. That seems to be good news. Was his Auburn trip today?

Yes after that game people were saying call up the donors and get that kid.

Almost impossible to compare.

It's like dating an 18 y.o. girl then and the 18 y.o. girl of today. Most of us would have had a few police reports filed against in today's era.

I just looked at Btown Banners and Chris the troll seems to think he is going to Kentucky. So it is safe to say he will come to IU. That guy is is always wrong. He is the same guy who said Brad Stevens to IU was a done deal.

after this last coaching cycle, I'm finished with those BTB clowns. We may not have as many members here with as many 'sources', but it means we aren't nearly at risk of being mislead by trolls, or by online attention whores chasing bigfoot, riding atop a unicorn.

 

[IUgradman]

Chris007 has been comically inaccurate with the “information” he provides during coaching searches, and the morons over there lap it up.

Lamar is in the Hall!

Looks like I was right.
