Not an insider, but I'd be surprised if we get Franklin at this point. Woodson is pulling back the IU kids.

Also, listening to Piper and Werner's pod sure doesn't paint a pretty picture for the frontcourt. We're going to have an entirely new team next year outside of like Curbelo, Hawkins, and Grandison.
Trent will be back

That means the parents are definitely interested in the U of I. The problem is, as much as I love the U of I, the campus is not in the same beautiful
ball game as U of W in Madison. Hopefully, that will not be an issue with mom and dad.
Someone here said they weren't allowed to meet with the coaches or any current players, but I hope some helpful person gave them a tour of our mighty fine athletic facilities, carefully following NCAA rules of course. If I'm a parent of a D1 caliber athlete, that's what I'd be most interested in.

They were here yesterday. They did not want it publicized. They did not want to bump into players. They could not see coaches. He is from Wisconsin so weather is not a factor. They wanted a true self tour.
Once I was pretty sure I knew where I wanted to commit (at a much lower (D-3) level), that’s what my dad and I did. When you visit, the coaches show you only the shiny stuff. I wanted to see what it would feel like on a normal day and I wanted to search out the things I knew they intentionally didn’t show me on my official. I committed the following Monday ... just sayin’.

That would be awesome...

I said it previously, ...these two...their value is not nearly as much in the game stats, but rather in the ear and practice court with new guys....invaluable mentors!
My gut is that with Ayo gone, IF Trent decides to come back (which I doubt, based on nothing but my personal opinion), he will fill up the stat sheet.
