Hey guys, missed chatting with you crazy peeps. Little boob has been keeping me quite busy, but it's worth it. Already raising him right :) Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Really excited about this coaching staff Archie has put together. Recruiting, in regards to locking down the state, will be great with this staff. Can't wait to see what they can do! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

"I want to show (Indiana fans) they’re not just getting any regular point guard. They’re getting somebody who is going to fight for Indiana and is going to go hard for Indiana across his chest." That's exactly what kind of player I want to see rocking the candy stripes. I didn't know he was a point guard though, I thought he was a 2.

He's a great kid. It goes a long way how committed he has been to IU. I'm 100% rooting for Al Durham. Also, he and Mark Smith just gave each other shout outs on Instagram. Too bad we're out of scholarships.

The potential/ceiling for Clifton Moore is immense. Still needs polish and refinement, but long-term prospectus is very strong. 6-10. @jonrothstein Indiana signee Clifton Moore is still waiting for his release. Met with Archie Miller last week. Indiana is still a legitimate option. Moore plans on talking to Archie again this weekend. He also said "I don't know yet" when I asked if he still wanted the release. @jeffborzello 6-foot-10 Clifton Moore says he's on 'good terms' with IU coach Archie Miller and must decide by Monday what to do.

Great and insightful kids. Glad that they'll be suiting up for IU in the fall.

http://indiana.247sports.com/Article/Indiana-Hoosiers-spring-game-recruiting-visitors-52292747 Indiana will have several top targets on campus for Thursday's spring game. Tom Allen and company will play host to defensive lineman Gavin McCabe out of Chicago (Ill.) Marist. McCabe's teammate in tight end T.J. Ivey could also return after visiting earlier in the week. Running back Andrew Cunningham makes his way to campus from the Sunshine State. A couple others from the Windy City making there way to Bloomington are defensive lineman Noah Shannon and cornerback Tyrik Henderson. DeSoto (Texas) High safety Mike Gardner was offered by IU earlier this month and will be on campus.

Lol @ Tucker again. Over-Rated!!! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

This is kinda amusing if you check out the reader comments. Most of them are saying "Why couldn't IU take Alford and leave Schilling!" ... I get the impression that it wouldn't have broken many hearts in Westwood if we had hired Alford. http://www.bruinsnation.com/ucla_basketball/2017/4/13/15296378/ucla-basketball-coach-takes-indiana-job

My takes from last night 1.Ramsey played very well for his age. Very quick. Zander like movement. 2. Lagow had no help from receivers besides simmie. RBs and some WRs dropped like 7+ passes that were placed perfectly. I think we will be fine and I think he will be fine. (Wish we did first team O vs first team D just to see for a quarter or something. 3. Hard to gauge either line. Especially when starters are split up and what not. I liked the draft format but like above I wish we could have seen 1v1s. 4. Juan Harris had a few jitters (jumping offsides twice I believe). But he is a huge dude. However, he had some great pushes off the ball. He extends and gets separation from OL. 5. Riggins played really well against simmie. Having him and Fant will be great again. Our DBs are loaded we have a ton of talent and size back there. Along with LBs solid speed and size. 6. Ball is a beast still. He looked faster, bigger, and made good reads (glad he didn't take anyone's head off). 7. Hayden Whitehead. Welcome to Bloomington mate. What a leg. What a leg. He had some very very good punts last night. Granted he didn't have anyone running at him. But hangtime and distance Wowza. Sorry Gedion I love that you can run a 4.4 40 as a punter but Hayden is legit. Thank you Australia. 8. WR corps is loaded with size speed. A lot of young kids to keep an eye on. TE to unit seems deep as well. 9. RBs out last night Gest, Natee, Majette were on sidelines for their teams. I didn't see Patrick or Williams. Arod looks to have picked up some speed. 10. I think we will get pressure and sacks on opposing QBs. Granted both lines were a hodgepodge of first and second teamers....but there were a lot of hurries and sacks called last night. Overall im excited to see what this team can do against OSU for our first game. The crowd was engaged and I was surprised with the amount of fans that came out and students. Especially for a Thursday night 7:00 kick off we had more than last years spring game for sure. It's gonna suck not having our nice video board. Can't yell at the zebras when they miss a call. Having the stadium enclosed will be cool tho!! Gonna be world class. Cheers red men and sorry for my long post. Luce is out

As a CB junkie, this has been an excellent 30for30. How much more advertising does Cal need though? Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

^^He had the whole family last weekend on his visit and Wiltfong picked us a few days ago.

I think in high school, when you're the best player on your team, the ball is generally just in your hands. He definitely falls into the "combo guard" bucket that Crean filled up. That said, I watched a bunch of his videos for this purpose. He does have a nasty bounce pass he uses in transition, and his ball handling is excellent. When you watch him, he definitely works to draw the defense with him to get a man open. And he's fast and long enough with his drives to keep the defense honest.

Just finished the first quarter. Simmie is simmie. Ian Thomas looks good. Lagow looks the same and Ramsey outplayed him. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Will ROJO get drafted if he stays in the draft? Not a chance in hell. If he doesn't return to college, could he make a living somewhere in the world playing basketball? Absolutely. People saying he can't play pro ball somewhere are crazy. He could easily make more money playing somewhere overseas than 90% of the people on this page earn, myself included. If he is done with college and wants to go make six figures playing basketball, more power to him.

"His teams at Dayton were reputed for their tough-nosed defense, never once averaging a point per possession allowed over an entire season." Wow. I can't wait to have that type of defense here again. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Getting a commitment from Phinisee would be an excellent way for CAM to signal there's a new sheriff in town and start locking down the state. Then follow with Jallow and hopefully Langford.

SIAP. @AdamZagoria: 6-foot-10 Clifton Moore says he's on 'good terms' with IU coach Archie Miller and must decide by Monday what to do. Leaning toward IU

I've said for a long time this is an important get for Indiana and Miller. He is a kid who makes others better, gets the ball to the right spot all the time, and he's as tough as a $2 steak. As much as I'd love to get Romeo Langford, this kid may be more important for the program because he'll be here 4 years in all likelihood, and I love me some senior point guards.

After living in West Lafayette he's going to take one step on campus and not want to go home.

I know it's not the most reliable source but he also has an article up on his website.

I was hooked when they played New Albany in the finals.Seems to be a very hardnosed kid.I said before he was the best player on the floor not named Romeo and I stand by that still.Some kids just have that fire and others dont.Hollowell was highly ranked but I never saw that quality in him.Gary Harris had it and we were oversigned at that point.One of Crean's biggest recuiting WTF's.

Yep. Jackson, Ward, Bridges, Winston and so many others. Bridges returning was night and day. Really unbelievable. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

If he was never officially been released from his LOI, isn't it an NCAA violation for other schools to attempt to recruit him? rickbozich‏Verified account @rickbozich Al Durham said that more than 20 schools tried to recruit him after the #iubb coaching change, including SEC & ACC schools.

We offered back in February at Junior day and he was at the spring game tonight. Same school as TE TJ Ivy. Chicago, IL (Marist) 6'3"/250 247 Scout Videos Twitter

Seems like it is us or ND for the kid. Would absolutely love to get him. Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app

Well, well, well. So who else is leaving???

Might be a year or two away physically, but the long term potential for Clifton Moore is pretty considerable.

Florida's Devin Robinson will sign with an agent and enter the 2017 NBA Draft, per a source. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

He's really a combo guard, but he says he wants to be a PG. I hope he develops, because we could really use a PG. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Ramsey outplayed Lagow imo. Ideally I'd like Ramsey to sit another year if we had a good B1G level starter but we don't so I hope he gets the nod this year. Glad Fant is ok, that looked horrible and my biggest concern was I hope he didn't break his neck. Ball is an absolute freak, his run on offense was impressive. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Really want this kid bad.Crafty,great passer and homegrown to bat.Stealing him from the Toiletmakers back yard would make it all that sweeter.

Watched the 1st half. Coach Allen was mic'd and Gruden was pretty high on Cobbs. Scales was Scales and Lagow still needs to fix his mechanics a bit.

"At Indiana you need the best talent" - Wrong. Why are we so in love with Brad Stevens? He took teams of gritty strivers to the FF. (Yeah, I know, he had Gordon Hayward, but would he have been Gordon Hayward if he hadn't had Brad Stevens as a coach?) "If you're not putting out pros" - LIKE WE CARE???? He doesn't even understand how much he doesn't understand.

Anyone else catching this 30 for 30 on Cal? Obviously not a Cal fan, but this is a great watch if you're missing it. Bruiser Flint sighting as well. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Only if they contacted him directly. Contacting his hs or AAU coach is within the letter of the rule.

If I was building a team in CBB right now, I would try to recruit hyper competitive guys along w/a few stars. Not just acquire talent. @paulbiancardi Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

The biggest thing is that if you play 4 years in Bloomington, you'll always have a job. Scott May is working in Bloomington to this day. Companies will jump to hire IUBB alumnus. You can't retire on an overseas salary. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I would say Garland is 1, Phinisee is 2. Hunter is more of a combo guard or SG, from what I've seen on the trail, so I doubt he interferes with either. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

@KyleNeddenriep: Indiana coach Archie Miller expected in tomorrow to see McCutcheon point guard Robert Phinisee (2018).

OG could have been so much more special here, only seeing flashes his first season due to limited minutes, then getting injured this season man I would kill to see him play a full season Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
