    I'm not guessing on this. Beyond the "tea leaves", things look legit here.

    2019 IUFB Class Ranking

    Yeah from what I’m hearing from several people is that this will hopefully be a full class right around that 23-25 range. Breakdown wise.....I’m hearing a bunch of things and also reading multiple things. This will probably be long as i will talk through some groups that we will still take players in QB— I say 1 spot left for sure and there’s a new name to watch current Louisville verbal Jaden Johnson just popped up on visit list this weekend I believe(don’t feel like flipping through tabs). I heard from my cousin that the Baldwin visit went well....will be interesting. I would not be mad if we took 2 in all honesty. But most likely only 1. WR-1-2 more. right now we have Jakes, Ellis is WR, Brown is WR.....I’d say we land Todd. And obviously Bell is a auto take for This staff. And I think it’s honesly down to Purdue and IU. I think OSU and PSU are out. OL- 3 more. 1 experienced guy and 2 young guys. DL- 1-2. interior I would say done unless Kristian Williams wants to verbal but not looking promising now. Latrell jean is next up. Edge rusher there are several names but Everitt Cunningham from EMCC would be a nice add. LB- 1-Cam Williams is left on the board. So 1 spot here Safety- 1- I would say Toomer who has always been a top target and is a current Stanford verbal....if he flips or wants to the staff takes him but this is just me and we have stepped up somewhat is Jamal Hill. His frame is nice for a senior in HS reminds me of Crawford from his tape. So overall.... 7-8 more spots left. Some positions may playout differently based on if any for sure takes give verbals or sign...it should be a fun fun December and early signing period. I will say that on another note with this class. I love the enthusiasm from Tiwan Mullen. One of the big gets for this class and he’s the most vocal on social media and love his love for this staff and this team.

    We've got an advantage on a lot of schools by having such fertile recruiting ground in our backyard. Playing for Indiana wasn't cool when Crean was the coach. The guys we've been getting, Anderson/Phinisee/Romeo last year and Franklin/TJD/Brooks (fingers crossed) are making it cool again. The kids coming up the next few years will see those guys play for IU and want to follow in their footsteps.

    Just a heads up the Post Office and other Federal offices will be closed on Wednesday for a National Day of Mourning for President Bush. Part-Timers will probably run packages but no letter mail will be delivered Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    Hoosier Guy should be a crystal ball picker on 247 - he had all of these well before the experts.

    Man, first Romeo, Phiinisee and Anderson then Brooks, Jackson Davis, and Franklin... "It's cool to go to IU" again seems legit. I believe I had an discussion on one of these boards many moons ago if IU could be a top program with mostly Indiana players. I think we're gong to find out soon enough.

    Brooks will get a bump, imo, due to the games he will play in front of national scouts and media. It’s remarkable, honestly. Just consider how our in state recruiting has been under our last few coaches. Hoping we can get the on court play to match the results of our recruiting. Recruiting is keeping me pacified at the moment. Keep this level up and the results will come, unless Arch is a flop, which is hard for me to imagine.

    Can anyone give an example of uniforms being the reason a program rose back to the top...? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    Guys......... Words cannot describe how stoked I am about LIKELY getting Brooks and Davis. 2 awesome players. Being from the state is a bonus but it’s about the skill set. AWESOME! Brooks is underrated imo. If that is possible for a top 30 guy. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    IUBB Point Guards - Then & Now

    We need a guard in the 2019 class so badly. Carton would have been a massive get.

    IUBB Point Guards - Then & Now

    Statistics aren't necessarily the most important indicator of how valuable point guards are to a team. Quinn Buckner led IU to a Final Four his freshman year. He joined the team after starting as a defensive back on IU's football team. His leadership was indispensable to that team's success as it was to the 1974-75 team and the 1975-76 undefeated team. Isaiah Thomas led IU to a Sweet Sixteen his freshman year. Isaiah is one the top five best players in IU history. Yogi Farrell's IU team also went to a Sweet Sixteen, a disappointment since they were ranked Number 1 a good part of the season. But he was critical to that team's success. Vernon Payne was an All American point guard at IU during the Lou Watson years, ranked 9th in IU scoring, and led IU to a Big Ten Championship. Freshmen weren't allowed to play then (1964-68). Vernon Payne was a truly great point guard and often overlooked. In my opinion, he was as good or better than any IU point guard not named Isaiah Thomas or Quinn Buckner.

    Also a rumor that Ethan Morton is ours. Possibly reclassifying

    No one likes transfers, but it's part of College bball today. We have a couple of kids/guys who are holding scholarships but are highly unlikely to see floor time, even as upperclassmen. We also have a guy who wants to be a star but doesn't play Archie's game/system. So yes, a transfer is completely within reason. I don't see this as a Crean/force out situation. It will be natural, and I'm sure all parties are well aware ahead of time. Archie is way too straightforward to just screw a guy out of a position by recruiting over him.

    For Brooks? No, we lose Morgan/Fitzner, and everyone expects Romeo to be a one and done, which gives us 3 open scholarships. We'd most likely need a transfer if we take 4 players in the class.

    Being in Philly, I always forget how damn big this state is when it comes down to it. .I've been making that drive to Rushville and Indy since I was a baby, literally. I'm meeting w my Mom and sister tomorrow and it's going to be about 3.5 hours. Yikes. I'm going to take a half day but should be fun. I'll see what I can get here.

    I think Keion could be a one and done. He is way overlooked. Personally think he is better than Trayce. But I see him at IU for two years and Trayce for three. It is all a random guess at this time. At this time I don't see Romeo saying another year. Now, if his three point percentage stays around 25% we will talk... But hopefully Jerome comes back healthy and Justin Smith gets going.

    Injury Updates

    Being concussed is a weird feeling. I took a hard hit at a football practice once. Got high-lowed by our 1) All State middle linebacker and 2)our future NY Jet safety. Wow...went back to the huddle and couldn't remember any of the plays. Coach sent me to the sideline to recoup. Twenty minutes later they found me on the baseball field, on pitcher mound in full gear still wearing my helmet warming up. Got me to the locker room where at least I knew how to shower, and then sent me home. Bad thing was....I couldn't remember where the hell I lived and drove around for three or four hours. Was back on the field the next day, but struggled for a few weeks. That's just the way they did things back then. So glad it changed. Give Race some time and pray for a full recovery.....on his schedule. Basketball is not that important. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using BtownBanners mobile app

    We started letting TJD's thread get derailed with discussions about point guard play and some questioning Rob's ability. I make no bones about it that I think he's going to have a fabulous career. It's easy to remember point guards of the past based upon their entire IU career or how they may have played in their 3rd or 4th season, but I don't think any one of us could readily recall how they played as freshmen. So, let's take a look back and if there's any other names you'd like me to include, just let me know. 1st Yr. IU Stats GP Pts.
