Yeah, that's been up since signing day in November. |

The implication clearly was that the IU program was purposefully avoiding recruiting players of color, and I asked if there was any evidence of that. The poster could not provide any. oh please. purposefully? I didn’t imply that at all. I was coming at it from the perspective of not being successful in recruiting diverse talent. |

I didn't think you had any actual knowledge that they turned them down. But yes, it was legitimate for me to challenge it. When people inquire about diversity in a given space that lacks diversity... i dont see the need in challenging the inquiry. Choosing to make your spaces more diverse is a conscious choice. If black players are turning down your program, I would consider ways to fix this. 1. Is my staff reflective of the players I want to recruit 2. Am I recruiting in areas where I can find diverse players 3. Am I finding ways to connect with them finally, someone with a brain. |

Boyer transfer is in there. Also, Nia Robinson's grad transfer destination is North Carolina.

So, this portal situation has certainly changed things. I'm not sure if there are discussions about adjusting the transfer rules, but it does make one wonder how recruiting changes in response. Also, how coaching changes.

I’m having zero regrets about holding out on forecasting these teams until after the offseason runs its course.

Also, how coaching changes. The portal seems like a win-win-win for all parties. Certainly it will change recruiting a bit. Perhaps make it a little less cut-throat. |

Maybe it is a win-win-win if you are a top program. Makes it especially challenging if you are not. |

Stockham and Blackwell have already been removed from the Indiana roster. Happened sometime in the past couple hours. Churning through OP update now. I just went back and re-watched the little 5 min clip about Indiana volleyball and both Stockham and Blackwell are heavily featured singing the praises of the program and coaching staff. That sure hasn’t aged well. Edit: I’m referring to the At The Net feature |

That’s a lot of freshman talent; how does one school get that many top 10 recruits ?!?!?! Is Cook that good of a recruiter ?!?!?! |

Why should it even be a priority? The objective should be to recruit winning talent. Diversity is not its own reward. |
