Indy Star Q&A with TJD. In a Wednesday conversation with the Register, the Midwest mega-recruit said he will no longer take his November unofficial visit to Purdue and will instead focus on UCLA, Indiana, Michigan State, Wake Forest and Iowa. https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/iowa/bbmen-recruiting/2018/09/05/trayce-jackson-davis-recruiting-iowa-target-indiana-ucla-michigan-state-wake-forest-purdue/1205489002/

Got the ball rolling....IU isn't done w the backcourt and the focus turns to HH Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Yes, I think he is coming to IU. I agree to compete with the big boys in March you have to have some 4-year guys. I will take a 4 star Indiana kid as our first commit.

We need to provide twitter 101 training to this board. Rule #1 Don’t tweet at the kids, Rule #2 If they aren’t verified or have a legit supporting website/company, don’t trust anything they tweet Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

For a variety of reasons both on and off the court, Archie and staff want Armaan Franklin to be a Hoosier. Therefore, I do too. Too simplistic?

Looks like this is happening. I’m warming up to the idea that he will be a solid 4 year guy. We need those in the program. Hopefully Armaan excels and becomes a great player here. I do like that he’s from Indiana and that our “lowest rated” player had offers from Ohio State, Purdue, Xavier, etc. I also think we need to land a stud guard in this class yet. Armaan will take time to develop, and having only Green, Durham, Phinisee, and Franklin as guards next year worries me.

Chris Fisher gives his CB pick for IU.

100% accurate. These guys talk to one another. TJD was basically pining for IU to show his friend some love. That’s what happened

Fair enough. So get one of those boys and then 2 spots for 3 possible five stars. Thats how the big boys do it

Mixed reviews on the board so far and that's perfectly ok. I don't doubt Archie sees some potential there. I also don't doubt Archie knows how to play the connections game, thus the reason I quote this post. This recruitment, like most, probably has an extra layer to it.

Methinks he gave the answer that the interviewer was looking for. Methinks he will commit to Indiana University after his last official visit to East Lansing and sign during the November period.

Methinks he wants the Romeo treatment. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Just wanted to point out this was an article done by Mathew Bain of Hawk Central. He covers Iowa sports Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

He's not out for us. We still very much want him and he starts his official visit very soon. But does he want to play with Franklin, that has been said but who knows? Yes we want Ramsey too.

Good luck to the ladies as they host Big Blew of UK on Friday. IU is 3-1-1, while UK is 3-3. Friday 5 pm vs Kentucky (in Bloomington) Live stats

Methinks he's gonna get it.

When asked about each school and what they have to offer, did anyone catch that his answer for Indiana was very different from the others...for Indiana he says, "They tell me WHERE I'M GOING TO PLAY in their offense and stuff like that, where they see me playing." Whereas when asked about other schools he says they told me where I would fit or where I would play in their system. I might be reading way too much into it though.

The crystal ball sucks wang! (Can you post that on here?) Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Confident this will continue to comment good relations in the state and that Archie will turn him into a 4 year stud. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

One of the best predictors on 247 just picked tjd to IU 2 days ago. Pay no attention to this wang clown. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Anybody else think this news of Franklin being "on the clock" is related to the fact that Newman is supposed to be visiting IU this weekend and Franklin is afraid he may commit while there??? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
