    Definitely see potential in gulbe but she wasnt really hustling up and down the floor at all..a light jog at best..so she is gonna have to learn how to do that transition run to play USA basketball. Also noticed that they took her out a few times for defensive plays.

    Despite being caught red handed passing literal bags of cash to players, nothing poses a threat to derail the freight train that is Kansas recruiting. Yahhhhh! College Basketball. Where to be the best, you’ve got to beat those that pay the best! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    (2019) SG Armaan Franklin to IU

    Facts are facts and the the facts say that IU’s staff have prioritized wings and bigs for this cycle. The staff made a decision right or wrong that guards were not a priority. They have been playing catch-up on guards because well they have been focused on the 2 non guard in-state top 20 kids. In recruiting you can’t have it all. When Ohio st and Holtmann was 4 deep at a non shoe event they made it clear Carton was their top priority. Archie was watching TJD and Brooks at the time. Go back and look at when the wings and bigs in 2019 got their IU offer. Now go back and look at when the guards of 2019 class got an offer. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    That seems to be the selling point. I imagine them Selling Juwans spot to TJD and Romeo’s spot to Brooks. I always have envisioned recruiting like this. It’s most logical and easiest to compartmentalize. People say we can sell Romeo’s spot to a guard , but it is my belief that is being sold to Brooks. Any guard we get will be competing with Phinisee, Durham, and a senior Green. If Green, Durham, and Phinisee improve as expected we don’t need a star over them. It’s much harder to sell. NOW, if we don’t get Brooks or some other Star in the Romeo spot then it is a major recruiting mishap. Super easy sell imo. Need to replace 2 starters and add depth imo. So, are we struggling with guards? Yep. Will it matter in the end? Depends on The other spots we fill. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    I don’t know. Time will tell if we struggled recruiting guards or not. We tried Cole Anthony, Jalen Lecque, Tre Mann, Jahmius Ramsey, Kira Lewis and DJ Carton at five star and high 4 star. We made it close with Carton but in the end it means nothing. Maybe we still have a shot with Ramsey but unlikely. Didn’t make the cut with Anthony Harris as a middle 4 star. We made top 5 for Bouknight who is a middle 4 star. Maybe we still have a go here. Yes, we are still alive with Franklin, Newman who are lower rated 4 stars. Both are fine players. Possibly even great players but not our top targets and we haven’t landed either of them. I think it’s fair to say we have struggled recruiting guards IF your expectations are for Indiana to recruit like the BlueBloods. Still too much time to see what happens though. But it’s not been too pretty. I think Franklin or Newman are good pieces if we get a Brooks and/or TJD to go with. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    No way a P5 school, especially a B1G school, with the increased conference games and a SOS like ours will be an actual bubble team at 20-12. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    Struggled recruiting guards? Seems they have recruited guards just fine. They were in the top 3 out an out of state 5 star. Carton just chose another school but IU recruited him well enough that some scouts think they were right there for his commitment. Top 3 for a 4 star in-state kid that has yet to decide has hasn’t even done any officials to his top 3 yet. Just made the top 5 for an 4 star out of state player that was hurt last year and most scouts think he will bump up in rankings. Struggled getting Lewis on campus? Good luck getting him out of the South plus he will be reclassifying today to the 2018 class anyway (no room for 2018 for IU). Struggling with Newman? We IU got him on campus for an unofficial and offered. Still a lot of time in his recruitment. By struggling you mean no commitments before Aug 10, 2018 I’m guessing. Still got 3 months or so until the early signing period anyway. I don’t need to face anything my opinion is IU hasn’t struggled recruiting guards in this class Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    Sounds like the tourist was being a real jerk and the coach made a bad decision that resulted in the worst outcome possible. Unfortunate situation. Enviado desde mi iPhone utilizando BtownBanners

    IMO, the having to wait a year rule should stay with one exception. If a Coach leaves for a new job, a player from that program should be allowed to transfer and play immediately. The vast majority of these kids dont choose the school, but the coach's program. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    I don’t like that. Free agency of College basketball would be out of control. Any halfway disgruntled kid would transfer. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    Come on man. So you don’t like others point of view so we are being ridiculous like usual? No sir it’s this post on a forum that I think is being childish and ridiculous. Just because people feel a game doesn’t have issues at the end of it we are being ridiculous because we are against it? As a mod that felt old mods diminished others point of views what does this do?

    Change for the sake of change though is pointless. Its a solution to a problem most of us don't seem to have. In just about every topic about a game that goes into OT somebody correctly says something along the lines of free basketball. This gets rid of that. If we think the game is perfect or as close as reasonable to ask the way it is, why would we discuss change? The one change I would like to see made to basketball be the ability to appeal fouls at the Half or if we go to Quarters after each quarter. The other team can keep any FTs they made, but the player gets the foul back. This would serve to keep good players in the game as much as possible and let teams really duke it out. Instead of letting "Mistakes" by the refs keep affecting the game well after they happen
