    (2020) SG Trey Galloway To IU

    It's going to be interesting to see if IU offers this weekend or not. Archie loves how smart of a player he is.

    It has a 21 June 2018 publication date, but there's nothing really new or revealing that we didn't already know. HoosierSportsReport- Archie Miller is taking it slow with his big man this summer. After De’Ron Davis missed the final 16 games of the season with an Achilles injury, Indiana is in no rush to push its junior forward back onto the floor. Summer workouts are in full swing in Bloomington, but it could be until the preseason before Davis is ready to resume basketball activities with his teammates. “From a contact perspective and a basketball perspective, I don’t think De’Ron will be ready for that this summer,” Miller said. “We’ll be pushing toward our fall program, then (seeing where he is) moving into November. But we have to take it slow and be really mindful of how he communicates and how he feels.” Davis is coming off a hot and cold half season, during which he flashed his potential during November, scoring in double figures in eight of his first 10 games, before fizzling out across his final month of action. His season peaked with an impressive 16-point, five-rebound performance against No. 1 Duke on Nov. 29, and he averaged 11.5 points and 4.4 rebounds during his first 10 games of the campaign. But Davis struggled as his season developed, averaging merely 5.8 points and 4.0 rebounds across his final five games Struggles at the free throw line throughout his sophomore campaign also marred his second season, with Davis shooting just 50 percent at the stripe after making 75 percent of his free throws as a freshman. “If I had to grade it, my season was probably a D season coming off last year, which was like an F season,” Davis said in February. “Not too much improvement besides my conditioning.” Davis earned praise from IU’s new coaching staff last summer after he slimmed his 6-foot-10 body, dropping 21 pounds through a transformative workout regime. He also added eight inches to his vertical jump. Maintaining — and building upon — his conditioning is now the tricky part of Davis’ rehabilitation process. “It’s a difficult surgery for anyone to come back from, (especially) a guy like De’Ron who is that size, who can put on some weight when he’s not allowed to do anything,” Miller said. “It makes it just a little bit more difficult.” As they wait through Davis’ recovery timeline, the Hoosiers do enjoy a favorable degree of post depth, however unproven. IU will be counting on the development of sophomore Clifton Moore and redshirt freshman Race Thompson. The team will also receive help in defending the post from Evan Fitzner, a 6-foot-10 Saint Mary’s graduate transfer. Incoming freshman Jake Forrester may also be ready to lend a hand. In the meantime, Miller is content to help Davis heal on his own time. “I think it’s going to be a slow process where he’s got to get himself into a situation where he can start to feel comfortable running, then start the conditioning,” Miller said. … “I think De’Ron has strung together some really good days and I think he’s progressing.”

    I am a big, big fan of college teams playing their games on college campuses. It's one of the primary dynamics that makes college basketball more than, and far better than just an NBA developmental league. So those five suggestions for me? No No No No No

    Any sense for if he would accept on the spot? Previous comments have seemed to indicate we were at the top of his wish list.

    Calipari didn't want to play the UK-IU series on campus, but Crean and Glass did. So why not do a three-year series with a compromise: Year 1: Dum! Center or Bankers Life Year 2: Assembly Hall Year 3: Rupp Arena Or do a four-year series with the neutral arenas as bookends to two on-campus games.

    Holiday is small but I think he can be at least passable defending PGs. Love his shooting.

    Derek Piper‏ @DPiper247 #Illini hosting @EG10_Basketball rising sophomore Khristian Lander (@khristianlander) for a visit today. Widely considered as the top 2021 guard in the state of Indiana. The Illini will play host to Evansville (Ind.) Reitz point guard Khristian Lander for an unofficial visit on Thursday. Lander is widely considered as the best 2021 guard in the state of Indiana after averaging 13.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game as a freshman. The 5-foot-11 point guard continued to impress on the AAU circuit this spring playing with the EG10 squad at the 15U level. “The state of Indiana looks to have a lot of talent in this class, and it is Lander who is emerging as the top guard in the state,” 247Sports national basketball analyst Brian Snow wrote following the Bill Hensley Memorial Run ‘n Slam in May. “Lander has tremendous speed, long arms, and his jumper continues to improve. There was no answer for Lander at all this weekend, and he showed why early high-major interest is coming his way.” Like any rising sophomore, Lander needs to get stronger and develop his slender frame. But he has the skill set working for him already, as he plays with the ball on a string, can hit from the outside with a lefty stroke and his stepback would make James Harden smile. Lander has already taken visits to Indiana, Michigan and Purdue. He was in Bloomington last November when the Hoosiers battled No. 1 Duke in front of a raucous crowd of 17,000-plus at the Assembly Hall. The Illini will get an opportunity to show him the campus, the facilities and State Farm Center. And Lander could also get a chance to see a team workout, as did 2020 Minneapolis-area center Dain Dainja during his visit on Tuesday.

    For those that sent vibes and wished for a good surgery. Just got an update. They are keeping her over night due to very low levels of potassium in her blood.....they thought they could get the count up by noon today, but it is slowly being absorbed into bloodstream....so surgery will be tomorrow morning given her count has risen to a safe level to perform the surgery.

    Summer of 2018

    Well, I'm the same way about wanting recruits now. But as I keep getting told we are after all high major guys or 5-star kids so it will take some time for these kids to decide. They're in no hurry to make a decision. I feel like we will get two 5-star kids but that's just my opinion. I think we're in good shape but it's a process. But I have no inside information at this time that anyone is going to commit soon. I was told TJD would a long time ago and I was wrong about that. So just sit back and wait.

    (2019) TE Gary Cooper to IU

    He’s only 6’1” and that is probably why he is ranked so low or lower than one may think given his offers and his offers were legit and comittable according to his coach. Oklahoma was once really recruiting him hard. His tape speaks for itself. Yes it’s a highlight film, but an interview with his coach....and he said he’s one of the most athletic/gifted players he’s seen in his 18 years down in Miami. His blocking is very good and has great footwork when he engages in a block. Honestly if he focuses on getting stronger starting now....he could see the field early and often next year. He’s already a bulky kid with speed get him to the next level against a LB and DB/S....it’s game over. Seems to be very football intelligent....when he runs his routes they are a little rounded off and not very precise, but if you notice he’s always looking for that window for his QB to hit him in.

    I’ve said it before. Romeo is the perfect ambassador for the new era of IU basketball. Not just a great player but a great person as well
