Maybe it's just me, but I don't get jazzed over visits. Wake me up when there's actually a signing. 

 

According to the btown banners guys burton and sherrell are 100% done deals. So since those recruitments are over who does iu go after next?

Eerily quiet for a day with how many guys on campus, 3, 4?  Im about to go dark myself watching the Masters for 5 straight hours.  

Im not nearly as jacked about Burton as our PG, as many others are.  But relative to where we’ve been recently, getting him would be a good sign, and I’d be excited about it.  Burton, Mustaf, Harris would be a solid backcourt.  But those expecting Burton to have a Landeborg, or even a Cadeau like impact, because of his numbers at ND, will be let down.  He can score at all 3 levels, but he isn’t overly efficient at any of them.  And he has never been a guy that “runs an offense”…not at Penn, not at ND.  And he isn’t a very physical or effective lead defender.   If he ends up as our PG, CDD will need to surround him with physicality, ball movers, and defenders…to compete with the upper half of the conference that is.  Mustaf will help, haven’t seen enough of Harris to know if he would too.  

But those expecting Burton to have a Landeborg, or even a Cadeau like impact, because of his numbers at ND, will be let down.  

Its no different than the total hype over miles rice. He put up big numbers on a bad team and people thought he would be actotal stud at iu.  I think he will be decent but yeah if your expecting yogi Ferrell be prepared yo be disappointed

Another domino has fallen ---

 

NEWS: Providence transfer Stefan Vaaks has committed to Illinois, his agents at Excel Sports Management told ESPN. Top-10 player in the portal. Estonia native averaged 15.8 points and 3.2 assists and scored 20-plus points against St. John's (twice), Villanova (twice) and UConn. pic.twitter.com/3NGUCZDHG1

Sherrell is on campus right now.  Need to close this one badly. It appears like Woodson dd is cooking

 

Been told its a 100% done deal . Btown banners guys calling a three for three.

 

Could we go 3 for 3? Early indications are it’s a strong possibility and if so, that’s a heck of a start for DDV’s Year 2.

And they said Stevens was a done deal. Anytime we hear the words "done deal" in regards to IU basketball it's usually bad news.  If he can close Sherrill and Burton that would be massive.

Trilly has posted the prediction gif for Burton, so I'd consider that likely done.  I'd be surprised about Sherrell as he's likely to get a full court press from Duke still.

Been told its a 100% done deal . Btown banners guys calling a three for three. Harris now added. UL i guess paid 9 million for the two players so I wonder what we are paying arrextwo done deals Burton and sherrell? 8 million?

Just going off the btown banners guys now saying we might have four done deals.. If ul paid 9 million for the two they just got we must be paying like 8 million for are done deals Burton and sherrell?

 

Burton, Mustaf, Harris, Sherrell, and a competent center.

Ill wait to hear actual deal deal rather than done deal. 

Sounds promising though.

They are 100% convinced he is coming to iu because David Lee Roth from Twitter said so. Oh and because George lettuce has been quiet. I think David Lee Roth is the man.

You can't let him leave without a commitment.  If he originally wanted $4M and is now insisting on $5M in order to commit you give it to him.  Otherwise Duke will lock him up and we could be playing another Reed Bailey at the 5 again.  Can't lose your entire season over a $1M.  Get it done DD.

I think David Lee Roth agrees.  After all the hype of him being a done deal losing him would send some guys over the edge I think.
