    If I was in his shoes I would. Our defense has to be ready for him shooting lights out because that seems like something that would happen. Also you know he will make the hustles plays with extra motivation Yes his defense could be a liability and we will need to expose and get him in foul...

    My concern with the process is not the talent we are going to get. BU has shown that Building a new roster is hard and you have to find players who play well together and that is hard to do in a summer. Plus it is harder to have a consistent culture

    If we are bringing in a player who is better than him then we should be ok with him going to IU. When you recruit over a known player you have to be certain you are upgrading I trust your sources and insights but I know recruiting is fluid and there are no certainty. I hope you know who is...

    It wasn’t because they didn’t want to. Old days you sat a year if u transferred and if u signed the school had to agree to let u out. If the person u liked left they re open things One unspoken rule back in the day IDKWTI was recruited by IU after signing with us. I believe IU reached out first
