To say new Indiana 2015 target Kenny Williams knows incoming Hoosier freshman Robert Johnson well would be an understatement.

What are some of the schools that are recruiting you the hardest right now?  “Georgetown, VCU, UNC, Michigan and Indiana, those are the hardest.”

 

Indiana is a school that has shown interest in you, offering you a scholarship. How often are they in touch with you? “They’ve been in touch pretty much every week, really on a weekly basis.”

[Hutch89 2,939]

What does the interest from the Hoosiers mean to you? Have you thought about taking a visit to Bloomington?

“It means a lot. They just have so much tradition and so many good players coming out, so the fact that they see something in me, it means a lot. And I’ve had some thought about it, but because I’m so far it’s hard to take visits.”


I hope that distance from home isn't an issue with this kid.  He's a solid player!   
ESPN database shows him as a Shooting Guard, but in the interview he mentioned a Nike Point Guard Camp.  Which is he (or will be at college level)?

This one makes sense. Wonder if commitment is upcoming?

[quote name="Bowhunter" post="76853" timestamp="1407442516"]Another thanks for offering, but I am going to commit to.......[/quote]yeah, I think we have a shot here, but I don't think he is a high priority for our staff. The Boo Williams connection is solid which keeps up alive. The game I saw Kenny in was a so so game. Played off ball, missed a lot of shots. Definitely a talent though and supposedly a good shooter. I'd rather have Shake, I think????? crystal ball is heavy to UNC as the Home and recent offer.

Cheer up, Bow - you may be missing the common thread among all of these offers.

 

We have been the top recruiting program in the B1G over the past three or four years.

 

I need to start a thread on this topic

A good commit in the top 100 would cheer me up! :)

OSU is wearing that crown for 2014 and 2015.

OSU hit a big home run for 2014. 

 

2015 and 2016 are yet to be determined!

They are probably wrapped up in 2015 with four top 100 guys. I don't think anyone in the conference will beat that.

My point (inarticulately made) is that we have no idea who we will currently get for 2015, and how we will stand when it's all said and done. I'm guessing that if we get off to a reasonably strong start this year, we will do quite well. 

 

OSU currently has 4 top 100 recruits, all of whom are between #35 and 80. Who is to say, given the list of players we are pursuing, that we can't get into the same general range with the three 2015's we take? 

 

I'm not looking at this issue as a zero-sum, "who will win the star rating contest" analysis. I see it more as "will we get enough talent each year to be a B1G title/tourney contender".
