When the NIT is over and Indiana State's season ends, and Schertz presumably takes the SLU job, there's going to be a serious battle for ISU's top players.There's only one Power Conference job open, and Schertz isn't getting an offer from USC (or Arkansas after Musselman heads to USC). It comes down to money for Schertz. St. Louis has the money to offer Schertz a big raise. To dig a little deeper, the thinking is that Schertz will bring all or almost all of his Indiana State's key players (all the starters are underclassmen) to St. Louis, and he will win big there too. At that point, Schertz will get his Power Conference offer, and if he doesn't, he's getting a big salary bump at St. Louis.
Not sure why Bucky didn't get more Power V love. He would be on my short list. He checks a lot of boxes:
Unless Samford takes a step back (doubtful), Bucky will get a Power V job next year.

While they may follow Schertz to SLU, Ryan Conwell and Robbie Avila are going to have serious NIL thrown at them. Conwell is from Indianapolis and is at the top of IU's portal board and is already well aware that the Hoosiers are going to make him a serious offer.
