FWIW...Cliff Marshall just started following Anthony Harris. He only follows 190 people and they’re almost overwhelmingly all IU and his former clients. I think it’s definitely something Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Love love love that he started following Lester Quinones. If we ended up with both Harris and Quinones but not Watford that class would still be an 'A', if not an 'A+' for multi-year contribution potential.

He told Justin if he picked IU, he was gonna take over No. 3. Then Devonte punched him.

Harris started following Romeo, Rob, TJD, Franklin, Indiana Basketball and Lester Quinones on Twitter. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Jake‏Verified account @jakeweingarten Indiana was at Huntington Prep today checking out four-star junior Zach Loveday, a source told @Stockrisers. Also checking out several others.

Where I continue to check the board every 5 minutes for no reason and there are no new posts. Slowly have to ween myself off of the boards for the summer (meaning only checking a couple times a week). Am I alone here? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

He should. Any new coach, at any school, should get 3/4 years before fans start showing up with pitchforks. Now if there are extenuating circumstances, then the coach shouldn’t get that long, (ie cheating, abuse, etc).

Then Romeo hooked up with his girlfriend.

Yes he is a special player, but I'm not convinced we need OAD's at the moment. I'm sure in his mind, he's only planning on a 1-year college experience and if that's the case, then we have to go out and replace him in '20 just like we have to replace Romeo for the upcoming season. Don't think we're in a position (yet) that we can keep relying on landing the Romeo's and Trendon's year in and year out.

Awesome. He was the guy I wanted most and was very bummed we lost out.

I think Rob is gonna make a big leap this year.

IMO we're better of if that should happen.

Lamelo Ball is such a waste of a spot. They need to update their 2020 and 2021 rankings. Lander not in their rankings is a joke.

And Romeo slept with his GF or mom![emoji6] Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

He's saying that currently, it's as funky as a dish of blue cheese left on the sidewalk on a hot summer's day.

Gotta be AJ Griffin Jr. Top10 kid in ‘21.

The NBA is awesome right now. But, there's a difference between dominating and making an impact. Below are just a few of the 20-22 year olds (I didn't look up ages, so could be of a year or two for some). Jayson Tatum Jaylen Brown Donovan Mitchell Ben Simmons Luca Doncic Trae Young Devin Booker Karl Anthony Townes If you extend to under 25 the list includes Joel Embiid, Nikola Jokic, Giannis (probably MVP), Porzingas and several other stars.

Don't think I'd go that far - Trendon Watford is a special player. Let's put it this way; Quinones and Franklin can both be threes defensively in college. Harris is a 1/2 Al Durham style combo guard. IF we got both Harris and Quinones, going into next year we'd have four or five players considered 'bigs' (Race, TDJ, DD, Joey, Justin), four players for the three who could swing up to the four or down to the two (Jerome, Lester, Armaan, Damezi), and four players who guard the one/two and play with the ball in their hands (Harris, Al, Rob, DeVonte). That's good roster balance.

Stanford University Cardinal Classic STANFORD, Calif.— Late at night, Indiana Track & Field wrapped up competition at the Cardinal Classic hosted for Stanford University. Indiana swept the top three spots in the men's 1500m. Joe Murphy led the slate of Hoosiers with a winning time of 3:44.68. Following him were Copper Williams and Teddy Browning who picked up second and third, respectively. Rounding out the field in section two was Daniel Michalski as he nabbed a time of 3:46.99 to place 5th. In a difference section, Aaron Bennett clocked a time of 4:00.34 to finish 11th in his first collegiate 1500m. Haley Harris and Claire Hamilton competed in the women's 1500m. Harris was able to out kick the field in final stretch to pick up the victory in her section with a time of 4:22.21. In section three, Hamilton grabbed a time of 4:46.60 to place seventh. A trio of Hoosiers competed in the men's 1500m invite. Running a fast-paced race, Kenneth Hagen, Kyle Mau, and Ben Veatchfinished back-to-back-back in fourth, fifth, and sixth. Hagen ran a time of 3:45.38 to lead Indiana as teammate Mau snagged a time of 3:45.49. Veatch finished the race in a time of 3:46.05 in the final race of the night. On the women's side, Katherine Receveur and Kelsey Harris also finished back-to-back at the picked up seventh and eighth place. Receveur clocked a time of 4:24.31 while Harris crossed in a time of 3:25.47. Up next, the Hoosiers will participate in the 125th running of Penn Relays in Philadelphia, Pa. Action is slated to begin on Thursday, Apr. 25 and wrap up on Saturday Apr. 28.

The uniform tops don’t match the bottoms. They made the borders on the shorts thicker and more pronounced then eliminated the bordering on the tops. Looks tacky and definitely doesn’t improve on what we’ve had. Probably not as big a deal as I’m making it out to be but it bothers me nonetheless.

Davis has the potential to score more than 8ppg. If healthy I’m looking for 12-14. He’s a load within 5 feet Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Ill take NHL playoffs over NBA playoffs any day. I loved the NBA in the 90's but feel like it has fallen off since I enjoyed the rivalries and they seem to be no more. The quality of coach has also disappeared. It's a new style of run and game and jacking up 3's. I loved the physicality of the 80s and 90s. Probably why I gravitate to NHL now.

It’s normal. Traffic slows in April. Picks back up July some. Really starts to get to normal levels around September. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Truth.

They also play on an incredibly balanced team... Bog, VO, Thad, MT, DC, and DS all avg double figures. Turner has some work to do.. Sabonis just needs more experience and all that. Good building pieces.

That OSU 2019 class is scary. Three players in the 30-40 range. Quite a foundation to build on the next four years.

Why would anyone want to go to LSU right now? I mean I'm not saying he has to go to IU but there is so much uncertainty there. Their whole team basically left-most of them should have stayed. I guess they think it is a ticket to the NBA. Tired of this one and done mess. Let the kids go straight out of high school. If they want to go to college they need to stay three years. The NBA is awful to watch right now. How many 20-22 year olds do you see dominating the NBA right now? In the NFL young players make an impact right away. Why? Because they develop in college and are mature enough to handle the pros. You will have a Lebron, Durant, Davis, etc every once in a while. But most of these kids need to stay in college for three years.

On recruiting visits, kids can wear whatever they want. Almost certainly nothing to read into.

That’s a really interesting post, and a great catch. Edit: looks like on TJD’s visit he posed in #23, which is Damezi’s uni.

I don't quite get the pessimism. He had good things to say about each school. With respect to IU, he said the home visit with Archie was "really good." I'm not sure what people expect out of an interview like this. I didn't read positive or negative about any of the schools. He just wasn't tipping his hand. We've been a bit of long shot all along and we'll know soon enough.

The least amount of minutes as anyone on either roster? Didn’t that also happen at the McDAA game? Zero respect. Hope he comes in with a big chip on his shoulder.

Nope. That's not it (whatever you're implying) Chris Reynolds played the right way also, as have a whole slew of former IU players.

I think there are a lot of guys at the evaluation process who are being judged on how well they get water for the real potential draftees.

MCW is also widely regarded as a bust, so probably not the best example to use.

No one has ever gone to Nick's for the food. (Have they?) But I gotta' say....the pizza's not awful. And the IU-ness of the place is cool. Who else here has at least one of their mason jars in his home? I have two of them.

I am STUNNED that Hurt committed to Duke even though he knows they are looking at Jake. Guess he is all about the team and not worried about available minutes.

Literally never report. Why do schools even report anything? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I had to check, double check and triple check this to see who actually posted this ... I thought for sure it was Hoosier Guy ... LOL!

To be fair, this is accurate in hindsight. I don’t know that serious precedent had really been set back then. It’s very clear now having watched all of these scandals that you deny deny deny. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Best of luck to Romeo, and thank you for coming to IU to represent your state. Hope you have great success in the NBA. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Good luck, young man! Glad you were a Hoosier!
