I don't disagree with you, if he's really ready to go, then go. I would say that the overseas option isn't going to change by staying next year. So why not return, get your degree and see how the new staff/team works out?

Don't get me wrong, that is definitely what I want him to do!

Who knows what any of them will do. I get the feeling jbj wont be back.

The biggest thing is that if you play 4 years in Bloomington, you'll always have a job. Scott May is working in Bloomington to this day. Companies will jump to hire IUBB alumnus. You can't retire on an overseas salary.

If you play professional basketball you will always be able to get a job teaching those skills.  And if you are a star in those leagues you can very easily retire.

If he was never officially been released from his LOI, isn't it an NCAA violation for other schools to attempt to recruit him?

Al Durham said that more than 20 schools tried to recruit him after the #iubb coaching change, including SEC & ACC schools.

Only if they contacted him directly.
Contacting his hs or AAU coach is within the letter of the rule.

He's a great kid. It goes a long way how committed he has been to IU. I'm 100% rooting for Al Durham.

Also, he and Mark Smith just gave each other shout outs on Instagram. Too bad we're out of scholarships.

Great and insightful kids. Glad that they'll be suiting up for IU in the fall.

It's really not going to be hard to root for Al. I love his quotes

"I want to show (Indiana fans) they’re not just getting any regular point guard. They’re getting somebody who is going to fight for Indiana and is going to go hard for Indiana across his chest."

That's exactly what kind of player I want to see rocking the candy stripes. I didn't know he was a point guard though, I thought he was a 2.

He's really a combo guard, but he says he wants to be a PG. I hope he develops, because we could really use a PG.

I think in high school, when you're the best player on your team, the ball is generally just in your hands.  He definitely falls into the "combo guard" bucket that Crean filled up.  That said, I watched a bunch of his videos for this purpose.  He does have a nasty bounce pass he uses in transition, and his ball handling is excellent.  When you watch him, he definitely works to draw the defense with him to get a man open.  And he's fast and long enough with his drives to keep the defense honest.

Ahh okay, yeah I figured he was in the combo guard mold. That's great if he's wanting to be a point guard though. He has nice size and we desperately need someone to be able to step into that role.

Might be a year or two away physically, but the long term potential for Clifton Moore is pretty considerable. Long, fluid and skilled.

The potential/ceiling for Clifton Moore is immense. Still needs polish and refinement, but long-term prospectus is very strong. 6-10.

@jonrothstein

 

Indiana signee Clifton Moore is still waiting for his release. Met with Archie Miller last week. Indiana is still a legitimate option.

 

Moore plans on talking to Archie again this weekend. He also said "I don't know yet" when I asked if he still wanted the release.
