So you are saying the staff is punting on the two open rides for '21 or at least using them on someone that is here one year. Obviously there is always the chance for a transfer but they have one ride for '22, two for '21, two '22 commits and assuming the last spot is Curbelo assuming he shows out and goes pro.
They can't punt on both rides this year. 1 is *hopefully* going to Kofi. If not, I'd assume there would be an additional big man. There are currently 3 open rides for 2022, which already includes Bass and Harris on the roster. So that would be a 5 man class with no additional turnover. Room for 6 if Belo goes to the league, or a guy like BBV moves on.

I’m sure they would prefer to leave a spot or 2 open for high level transfers, although in today’s game you could probably just bank on 2 or 3 guys moving on naturally after each year

All I was told was the next two days but could be today. What me Indy or other insiders provide is what we hear and I realize it always doesn’t come true. Recruiting is crazy and these kids are in high school (some in college). A lot of people forget how an 18-20 year old can change their minds quickly, and now it’s even crazier with the nil situation. I will not always be right but the information is legitimate. I appreciate everyone on here who listens to me Indy TC and others, we do our best to give you guys solid information. This offseason has been tough but Brad is a great coach and I can tell you guys some of our upcoming classes of hs kids are going to be really good. Fingers crossed on the Kofi situation, I’ll do my best to keep everyone updated
Thank you for all the information you guys provide. Nothing is ever 100% accurate for the reasons you provide in your post. Ignore the clowns here that know nothing but are quick to nit pick when you happen to be wrong. Again thanks.

Insider info is a snapshot. Things can go south very, very quickly. Anyone banking on insider info is a fool. That said, I appreciate the nuggets and truly believe most of it is pretty accurate (depending on the source, naturally).

Insiders have been accurate or close enough for me to believe they are being fed correct information. But as much as everyone hates the phrase, recruiting really is fluid. Things can change on a dime. I still trust them but I also know not to take anything as certain until the ink is dry.

I think that new NIL rules are going to level the playing field, but I think I overestimated how quickly that might happen. Kentucky could go all to those guys who gave money to Anthony Davis and immediately get them wired into the new system. It's obviously going to take a bit longer for U of I and we may have some growing pains. Hopefully we'll catch up.

It's as if they legalized cocaine tomorrow. If I wanted to open a shop, I'd be at a disadvantage to all the guys who have already established supply chains.
