@boogie Well they are God's gift to the sport, so it was safe to assume he was going there.

He can't decommit if the staff never accepted it in the first place.

Staff hasnt even returned my calls as to what my NIL offer would be! #### Indiana. I guess Ill go g5, one of them said Id be a preferred walk on. I should call and find out their NIL offer though.

The James Bethea saga is a head scratcher. I’d be curious to know why the coaching staff didn’t want him based on his offer list. I realize that doesn’t always translate to great success, but it’s very strange to see someone who seemingly had many prominent schools pursuing him getting turned down by IU. Was all the perceived interest in him from other schools fake? How did the news outlets reporting on his commitment get duped on it? Just a very strange situation that I have never seen before.

His offer list may not be factual.

The media thought Ivan renko was real.  Let's not assume they actually verify everything that they get told.

We've picked up predictions from 3 really good players in the last two days from Wiltfong and another writer on 247....

 

https://247sports.com/player/mason-oglesby-46153050/

 

https://247sports.com/player/hunter-mallinger-46158059/

 

https://247sports.com/player/jailen-hill-46141491/

 

Mallinger has a brother as well thats not as highly rated that i think will pick the same school. 

 

https://247sports.com/player/reece-mallinger-46159433/

 

This could be a REALLY good class for us.
