@SWiltfong247: #IUFB hosting a few top of the state's best in-state prospects for Saturday's Iowa game including David Bell and Jayden George. Some offered 2019s from around the Midwest also expected in Bloomington. @MB_Weaver @JeffRabjohns #Indiana #Hoosiers

OV set for 12/7. Same time as Bell. Let's get'em both.

The commitment takes the Indiana 2019 class to #38th nationally and stays at #10 in the conference. This class is on pace to be quite possibly the best ranking-wise in IUFB history.

My goodness, this one really hurts. he was such an amazing kind hearted man. From a kid to an adult I always remember him shaking my hand, asking me how I was doing and just being so nice to a nobody like myself. But not just himself but his whole family are just amazing people. I'm going to miss seeing him at Uptown Cafe eating with his family. RIP George

So true - and I think C Edwards is really good! Purdoo finished third in the conference last year with Haas, Vincent Edwards, Mathias, PJ Thompson, AND Carsen Edwards. They added one nice grad transfer, lost 4/5 of their starting lineup, and will be markedly better? Ahhhh...no.

Fun fact, looking at the All Big Ten First Team, no voter had both Romeo and Juwan in their five-man roster, but nearly 2/3 had Juwan or Romeo on their team.

Not sure if the link will work Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Awesome stuff! Am I the only one though who saw "WR David....and got super excited for a second?

Carsen Edwards is so overrated

Don’t usually get personal, but the dude picking Purdue to win the conference is officially a moron. There is no rational argument, none, for that unless he thinks Edwards is gonna be Russell Westbrook. Actually, now that I think about it, not even then.

So we add Jackson Davis and Brooks in the Fall signing period then see about Hurt in the spring?

There have been several recent CB flips to MSU for Stewart which makes sense given TJDs visit is over and Brooks won't commit to a visit with MSU. The only real threat if there was one for TJD was MSU so this should be seen as a very good sign for us. IMO the only threat I see for Brooks is UNC. We should have a commit or a date for TJD to commit by next Friday from what I've heard. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

This was in the minneapolis paper today. Seems we have a shot. Over the weekend, Hurt told USA Today in Colorado he’s interested to see the way Indiana uses former McDonald’s All-American guard Romeo Langford this season. "I'm pretty sure he's one-and-done," Hurt said in the article. "I just want to see how they develop him. What they do for him is key for me." Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

Pitino: "Welcome to my podcast. You're in for a real treat. I've got a jam-packed show 1-2, maybe 3 hours long, so informative that it will send shivers down your spine and leave you begging for more. So let's get started...

WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!? ;)

Alaska Hoosier Guy?

Top-10 forward Matthew Hurt eager to see how IU basketball develops Romeo Langford https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/recruiting-central/2018/10/08/recruiting-matthew-hurt-eager-see-how-iu-basketball-develops-romeo-langford/1564255002/ "I'm pretty sure he's (Romeo) one-and-done," Hurt said. "I just want to see how they develop him. What they do for him is key for me."

@1:08 of the vid, Deron's in a full practice?!?

Nobody is saying he isn’t good but he is likely the reason Purdue is being picked to place so high and he just isn’t THAT good to carry an average Purdue team to greatness Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

He had 4 studs drawing attention away from him. And yes he scored a lot but he was only the 8th most effective. And he did that while have the number 1 drawing defenses. The only reason his numbers look so amazing is his usage was ridiculous. His was higher than Carr’s at PSU

I have to admit, I don't understand this sentiment. He averaged almost 20 points a game on a fairly talented team, and there really aren't many things that he doesn't do well. Probably undersized to be successful in the NBA as he isn't really a point guard, but he is an outstanding college player.

This account has been pretty accurate before. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Will use him like Reese as stated above. Offensive weapon. Return specialist. Will he used more as a speed type back as well. If you watch his tape as a WR he shows great vision and isn’t afraid to initiate contact.

If it's anything like his other work it'll only last 15-20 seconds Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

It's October, basketball season is close, the recruiting dominoes are about to fall, and we've lost our collective minds!

Pete Brush‏ @PeteBrush 1h1 hour ago More Defendant Merl Code's lawyer asks Brian Bowen Sr. "Isn't it true [that] you have been pimping your namesake since he was 15 years old?" Objection sustained. #HoopsTrial

That actually doesn’t sound nearly as bad as I was expecting for Kenny.

Thanks for that. Didn't bring extra pants to work, but thanks for that.

I want everyone to remember that I called, "Hurt to Indiana" a while back and still sticking with it. He WILL don the candy stripes! I know absolutely nothing more than anyone else but I just have a good feeling on this one...and no, it's not piss! Let Archie do his magic.

And if takes us treating Romeo like Trae Young, to the detriment of the team, I don't want to land Hurt or anyone else like that.

I'm with you on that. I know kids today want the fast track to the NBA, but I'm looking for team oriented kids who want to be a part of something special while in college. Unless I missed something, college basketball is still a team sport.

HAHAHA I was going through it all looking at that same thing... could have saved me some eye strain to read your post beforehand!!!

Could be wrong on this, but pretty sure I read they plan on using him like Reese Taylor

RIP

To be fair he’s not wrong

In an instagram post from IUBB, it looked like De'ron was scrimmaging with the team. He made a nice move for a layup. Anyone else see that?

@BlueGreyFB: #Hoosiers commit Matthew Bedford (@MatthewBedfor14) was selected to play in this year's #BlueGreyFootball All-American Bowl at Dallas Cowboys' AT&T Stadium.

Hurt is still my favorite. Zeller type impact or more. Smart and super skilled big man. I know our odds are about 1/7 or less but I’ll keep the pipe dream alive a little longer. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Indiana Men’s basketball coach Archie Miller tweeted out a little after 8pm this evening that the first ‘Gold Jersey’ of the year was earned today, by none other than Juwan Morgan. Archie uses the gold jersey as his standard performance evaluator during the week’s practices. Archie made note that Morgan outperformed the next closest teammate by a stunning 31 points. If you think about the context of a basketball practice, that usually lasts about 2 hours or so per day. For Juwan to outperform everyone else by 31 points is incredible. Archie made mention in the tweet that he was “looking forward to seeing if someone gets his gold jersey next week.” This should come as no surprise to anyone that Morgan was able to be the first player to earn the gold jersey for the 2018-2019 season. Morgan will have his hands on that jersey as much as possible. It’s Morgan’s senior year– he’s got one last opportunity to make another run at a second Big Ten title, and to play into early April. It’ll be interesting to see who shines in next week’s practice and ultimately earns the prized jersey for week two. Devonte Green earned the gold jersey on a few occasions last year, along with a few of seniors. It will be interesting to see if somebody else at least bridges the gap from Morgan’s 31 point victory, because that will mean one of two things– Morgan either was just that good, or everyone else on the team wasn’t that good. Indiana is still three plus weeks from it’s season opener, so there is plenty of time for progress to be made and another gold jersey to be earned. Indianasportscoverage.com

Dickie V is that you?

Just before October 20th

The fact that he won't commit to an MSU official tells you a lot...something would have to change.
