    Evan Daniels agrees. He just dropped in a Crystal Ball pick for Romeo to Indiana. That's a guy who doesn't make picks lightly.

    Wow to be able to finish with either hand that well at that age is incredibly impressive. Heck Stan Robinson is still trying to figure out which one to go with.

    I stand by the importance of Ed Schilling's presence on this staff. I think most of us do now. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    A friend of NA Coach Shannon (and therefore probably Coach Schilling) and yes, quite credible. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    In my opinion - the silence tells us everything. The most tangible evidence we have right now is the fact that Archie is not aggressively pursuing any Shooting guards for next year. I think most people would agree this is a big area of need and I expected us to add either Romeo or a grad transfer at this position. Archie's early interest in guys like Ryan Taylor and some juco's is evidence that he knew the importance of adding someone at this spot. However, since the commitment of Taylor to Northwestern we have not heard of Archie pursuing any other players. Meanwhile, Vandy is definitely trying to fill roster spots. I am honestly not sure how much recruiting Kansas is doing - but they may be comfortable with their roster for next year. This - in addition to the fact that Romeo will announce in a public setting makes me confident - even outside of the crystal balls and insiders (who I really appreciate posting their information).

    (2019) PG DJ Carton to Ohio State

    I haven't heard that. I can just say the staff is done with their evaluation and are in full pursuit.

    (2019) PG DJ Carton to Ohio State

    A poster on the Rivals board said there's a rumor out of Dallas AAU that Carton is going to commit to IU.

    As a Pacers fan and a LeBron fan, that was a foul by Lance. Refs should have got it right in the first place. Pacers really let a golden opportunity slip away tonight. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    Nope. Both hands on the ball then the head lock happened. Refs screwed up, how about LeBron getting the timeout when he clearly got tied up by Turner. Gotta love having the refs in your back pocket

    2018 April Evaluation Period

    Thoughts from a mailman on the first weekend of the Adidas Gauntlet qualifier from Warren Central. I have been to these AAU for a couple years now and can now recognize some of the older IU fans that attend these things every year. What makes a great fan base is the passion new or old fans have. 70 year old IU fan with his gear on and notepad taking notes is great to see. Makes me wonder will that be me in 30 years..... 15 U Indiana Elite- I only watched 1 of their games this weekend. Since I don’t do this for a living I didn’t spend a lot of times watching the younger kids. For me I just think that it’s too early to gauge how someone that young will project to the next level. Most kids will have a different skill set the next year playing up. DJ Hughes and Hopf stood out from the one game I watched. Hopf had good footwork and moves down low and Ft shot looked smooth. Can’t wait to watch Hughes next year because he has some intriguing upside 16u- I watched Indiana Elite the most. They were one of the better teams (if not the best team) in this division. Galloway impresses each time I watch him. The kid just knows how to win and makes the winning play almost every time. A lot to like about him moving forward Tre Coleman- had some flashes where he was the best player on the court. He got to rim at will and finished in traffic. It will be interesting to see him next year Majak- didn’t really stand out like you hoped he would at his height but also wasn’t terrible. Consistency is something he will need to work on. He goes stretches with no impact on the game and then will have a 2 to 3 min stretch where if a coach is watching he is going to get an offer Anthony Leal- going into this weekend I had only seen him play once and from my limited viewing Galloway was clearly ahead of him. After this weekend the gap between them is smaller then I thought. Against strong competition he put the ball on the floor and finished at the rim. His shot was better then I remembered and he was hitting. He keeps this play up he will get some good offers. Next year during the high school season I will travel down to Bloomington to watch him play. Zack Loveday- looked about 30 and had an awesome dirty mustache going on. Only saw 2 of his games. Good size and defended the rim well. I want to see him play more moving forward 17u- Hemenway- his shot was up and down in the games I watched. Today he was like 0-4 from 3 in first half against ITPS but did hit some big ones in the last 4 min to cut the lead to 3 at one point. I notice the stats didn’t have him for many TO for the weekend but I counted a lot more especially today in a very competitive game against ITPS. I’m not confident IU will offer but he is going to play D1 ball somewhere. Hurt- not much has to be said about Hurt his rankings speak for themselves but it is funny talking with people from other areas of the Midwest that was there. People were asking why Calipari, self and Roy was watching that game and I told them it was for the top 5 ranked player Hurt on D1 Minnesota. The looks on their face were priceless and they would say really? His game isn’t super flashy but he is a matchup nightmare. Since it’s AAU I’m not even going to discuss defense lol. His team has a ton of talent on it. Zeke Nnaji stood out to me and Tyrell Terry their point guard made some high level plays. Minny better be all over those 2. Fran was watching Zeke and also his son Patrick Mccaffery plays for them. Oscar Tshirbwe is a beast and dominated down low. If his recruitment wasn’t national before this weekend I fully expect it to be after the live periods. Don’t be surprised if the Big Boys come offering I see Old Fart has Brandon Stone listed on here and I’ve heard the name from other boards- my opinion move along nothing to see here lol. I wasn’t impressed at all with him. I ran into scouts from each scouting services and had some good conversations. I just want to give these guys props for busting their butts to bring content to their respected service. I know some give them crap but they all do great work. These events are fun I know I sound like a broken record but if you live near an event please go. Can’t beat that much high level basketball for 10-15 bucks a day.

    Lol. Reading this thread is great entertainment. Love it! On a side note, Over the last 4 days, I watched about 7 games from last year and the improvement on the def end is glaring. The team is in good hands. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    Anyone ragging on him for making a bad softball hire two weeks into the coach’s first season is most likely a blowhard who doesn’t actually follow softball.
