Not necessarily. I think it’s going to come down to money and fit. If he feels fit at one school more versus the money offered etc.. I think it’s going to be UK. Close(enough)on money. Designated shooter and family close. That’s just me.

I have no clue, the auburn visit makes me nervous. But the James Madison guy you all are trying to get would be a good get as well

Pilgrim just said he expects Auburn trip to happen. I still feel good but you always have to take Auburn seriously.

I don't understand how anyone can listen to Bruce Pearl for more than 20 seconds and not come away thinking his pitch is forced.
His pre game speeches to his team are so cringe. I feel like he's eventually going to get desperate enough to bring out thee ole "LET'S WIN THIS ONE FOR THE GIPPER" speech.

There was something about a high school player and I seem to remember he got sued.


Or a lawsuit threatened?

He was supposed to make a public apology.

I don’t remember the details.

But he was pretty much ostracized from most of his supporters he had left.

The more I think about it I’m remembering a little more.

It wasn’t one player. It was a whole school system. They fired a coach that was apparently a buddy of his and he threatened publicly to go down there and kick everyone’s ***. Encouraged his listeners to vandalize the town of Scottsburg In.

Just crazy stuff.

Trilly is saying IU is offering $500,000 more than UK. Personally I’ll be highly pissed if we lose out on a kid that’s the difference between an elite 8 season and a national title season because we didn’t pay whatever it took to get him. We HAVE to get another guard who is a major scorer and good shooter. He’s that plus a good athlete. I thought this prior to the hoops summit game where Jasper looked horrible but believe it’s even more of a serious need now after seeing him play.

Already missed on Yates and Pierre. Can’t miss on Wilkerson. If we do, then Popes first two teams will end up being one guy short of a title contender and it’ll have been due to misses at SG both years. I don’t want his SG recruiting to become like Cal’s SF recruiting.

Two of our best portal gets over the years weren’t even in the portal at this time.

If he’s dumb enough to go there over half a million dollars then so be it.

I’d be willing to bet a finger there will be a better player at the position than he enter the portal between now and its closure.

Betting a finger doesn't seem like you truly believe...if you were wagering a testicle everyone could feel the weight of your convictions

That’s not true. Only fans say those things.

That could not be further from the truth.

Programs and coaches put spin out all the time to their close media people. Look at what Cal does with Seth Greenberg. Pretending that coaching staffs don't spin negativity into their favor is being incredibly naive.

Just not true in the slightest.

IU is having another wake up call. They seriously thought they'd be a major player no matter what coach they got because they were able to get the group they did last year with NIL money and assumed that was what got players in but failed to account that a black head coach with NBA experience was the major factor in getting Mgbako and Ballo, Rice etc. Devries is going to have to win by scrapping and fighting with lesser players before the NIL will help lure in big time players

We had the wake up call last couple of years. NIL is a tool but if you just throw it out there for players that don’t fit what’s the point? Look at Louisville and Michigan roster last year. Not one blue chip guy.

Crazy to believe shooting guard is our issue with the offense he runs.

Yeah, not to mention the stacked frontcourt Pope has assembled. Literally 1 more player away from being LEGIT. Pope’s addressed the weaknesses from last year’s squad and put together a potential monster. There’s still players available and time for more to enter the portal. People are strung tf out

And you know there’s going to be some guys drop out of the draft as well.
