We are going the Indiana route in bball. just watch. Very stoked for what is about to happen. The ncaa bball community is going to hate us even more.

That’s impossible. Lester Earl told me Pear only has one commit :(


You mean to tell me Will Wade has been making big moves this entire time? No way

Indiana football was built on players Cignetti brought from James Madison.

And a guy from Cal that ended up being the best player In the sport.


Is Wade going to land a 1.1 guy and a bunch of really great players from his old school like Cignetti?

Apparently Trilly Donovan also confirmed Wade has a good portion of his roster already put together and they want to announce most of those guys all at once. There's enough reputable people saying this at this point that I take it as gospel.

The euro model makes sense since it’s not reported on well by mainstream. Wouldn’t surprise me if he has a Balkan 3 type situation lined up

Not sure if this is some kind of master plan to "hold" commitments. I think a big portion of our roster is just not yet ready/able to be official. Some examples:

Allen Graves - Going to combine in May. Not going to commit to LSU until he withdraws from Draft (assuming he actually withdraws, let's hope so)

Paul McNeil Jr - Wrapping up semester at NC State this week. Quiet kid, not looking to get mauled by everyone in Raleigh. If he's going to LSU there is no reason to announce that until he finishes school.

Bassala Bagayako - His team (Bilbao) is playing for the championship tonight in Spain. Also he's in the NBA draft. He's going to wait until at least after the game tonight and likely get feedback from the NBA draft before making anything official.

Other Bilbao players - There is a list of international guys going around on Trilly discord we're supposedly going to get. No idea how legit it is but it includes Aleksander Zecevic, Urko Madariago, and Bingen Errasati. These guys are also on the Bilbao roster, so they aren't going to announce anything until their season wraps up tonight.

Huge piece sounds like it will be Saliou Niang. I'm hoping we get word on him very soon.

If he successfully puts together a tournament team with an international lean i would like to add World Wide Will to the list of titles that we have for The General!

So you wouldn’t want Yaxel and Gaines?

Did Hornsby get let go with the coaching change. He played at Bilbao 2 years ago. His last stint of pro basketball

Gaines was a good SEC player and you’re making up that UAB is my blueprint. All I said was that Yaxel came from JUCO and if you thought Wade would look at that group.
