According to the Herald Times' Mike Miller (@MikeMillerHT), former RB commit Kristian Pechac has joined the program as a walk-on. He was a very talented RB in high school with plenty of scholarship options. Let's hope he is willing to put in the work and sticks around this time!

How did I miss this thread last year?? For me, that was almost as much entertainment as the MSB thread. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using BtownBanners mobile app

I live for this thread.

Same thing or no?

Ervin is the guy that pegged Romeo to IU early and never wavered btw

He was at Pima Community College. Enrolled after early graduation. This comes after Pima announced next season or year they are dissolving their football program

I think he graduated early and was attending some community college in Arizona. Either way, he adds even more depth to an already talented RB group. We now have Ellison, Gest, Walker, and Pechac (plus a few others) on the roster.

New article on 247 says after completing the second session of games on Wednesday at the NBPA Top 100 Camp, Igiehon discussed his interest in Louisville, Oregon, Stanford, UConn, St. Johns, Kentucky, Duke, Indiana, and Florida. Another recent article by Jody Demling gives mention of Louisville, Oregon, Stanford and UConn as the "hot" schools and Igiehon says he is looking at cutting his list to eight schools, but isn't sure when that would happen.

Can we let runnin_on_empty back on the forum for 24 hours? We need his take here, don’t we? [emoji23]🤪 Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Glad to see old fart could resuscitate you Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Mods- Can you add Boucher to the '19 Hot Board? If I know anything about Archie, this kid will immediately become a top recruiting priority. He may even surpass TJD, Brooks, and the like.

Per his Snapchat, Romeo has arrived on campus!

I said almost! Nothing will ever top doing 5 thugs at once. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using BtownBanners mobile app

Wow! Wasn't he going to an art school or something like that? Could be totally wrong, but that's what is stuck in my head. I'd love to see him break out!

Only explanation is that I tip my cap to ND. They’re hard to say no to unfortunately.

https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/nbpa-top-100-kira-lewis-talks-recruiting Indiana: "I'm still trying to take a visit there. With all of these camps and everything it's hard to schedule. You can't take visits in July, so I'm trying to get all I can in during June. If I don't go in June then I'll definitely go when I can go (on visits) again. People love basketball at Indiana, the tradition they have it's just a great school. A great basketball school." Lewis said that he has an unofficial visit set for Georgia on June 17th and that he is also planning one for Alabama along with trying to get to Indiana before the end of the month. The Crimson Tide appears to be in the best position at this point while Indiana has made a good push and Georgia could really help themselves with a strong visit. However, the potential game changer here would be an offer from Kentucky. If the Wildcats end up offering during July, they would likely become the favorites to land Lewis.

I didnt realize until today that Coach Reich is also the QB coach. Reich will be a huge improvement/help for Luck over the previous regiment. Not to mention Coach Reich had the same surgery Luck did when he retired.

Which makes it pretty sad. Kid has some serious confidence issues. Hope he learns how to deal with all that in a healthy way. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

That had to have been him on this board hyping himself up, right? Enviado desde mi iPhone utilizando BtownBanners

I really hope no one is paying for that Microsoft Paint garbage.

Ah, you're takin' all the fun out of it. Boo on you!

Maybe if his middle school cross country times had been a little faster, he'd have received more D1 offers.

No Kentucky, Duke or UNC. But freaking Vanderbilt.

It seems this could be an unbelievable class with a couple 5 stars (TJD, Watford, Hurt, Brooks, Carton) or we miss on everyone except TJD and grab some lower guys like Newman, Franklin, Harris. Just such a mystery right now in June.

If Smith’s skill development is further along than I expect than we are in for a really special year... can’t wait to watch. This is the most excited I’ve been for an IU season since the 2013 season.

http://www.zagsblog.com/2018/06/10/as-matthew-hurt-stars-with-usa-basketball-he-plans-to-cut-list-this-summer/ “I’m going to cut my list after AAU season, so around August right now,” Hurt told me following the game. “Around seven or eight [schools], I think.”Hurt, who models his game after versatile NBA players like Kevin Durant and Dirk Nowitzki, plans to take official visits in “mostly September” and then make a decision by the early signing period in November.“We start high school season in November, so I’m trying to get it done mostly by then,” he said.

Bill Self says coaching USA Basketball is a recruiting advantage for Kansas — but may be a bigger disadvantage http://www.zagsblog.com/2018/06/12/bill-self-says-coaching-usa-basketball-is-a-recruiting-advantage-for-kansas-but-maybe-a-bigger-disadvantage/ But IMO, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages and hopefully in a few years Archie will be getting the nod to coach these kinds of teams.

I think so Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Umm. That was quick. So final 8-->9-->3.

Helps schools like IU where depth is an issue. It will allow for freshmen to get some experience if needed and to rest starters in blow outs. I think it's a great rule! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

This kid will eventually turn into one of the better rec league players in the Fort. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I can't be the only one who didn't know there was a prep school in Crown Point until today. Based off his interactions on here and on Twitter, it seems like he has a hard time getting along with people.

Maybe instead of pointing at Memphis and Bama, he's holding up the number 1 in reference to the number of fans that go to a Vandy game which also explain the head down.

Well, he truly only went with 6 favorites because Vandy and LSU both have their heads bowed in prayer knowing that's their only hope of landing him!

The suspense is over! Austin Boucher confirmed to The Journal Gazette he will continue his basketball career at the Bosco Institute, a prep school in Crown Point, with the aim being a college debut in 2019-2020. Boucher finished his senior season at North Side with a loss in Regional championship game

Hey, somebody accidentally recorded and put Allen's speech at Huber on youtube instead of Archie's!

Now just what are you trying to suggest here? I expect more discretion from a man named BubbleKnuts.

You booted him? This was the most entertainment we've here since Archie came aboard Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Have you told Archie about his middle school cross country success? That, combined with the fact that he's in a large house, have completely won me over. It's too bad there's nobody out there stumping for this kid relentlessly.

Delivered one from the women's basketball office from Air Force to a house today. I was going to stay out of this thread but you lured me in. Lol Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

First of all, don't feel sorry for this kid. He has never been bullied at Norwell, He doesn't want to listen to the coaches, and his dad is a royal a-hole. Getting bullied for basketball abilities??? Please........ re-taking 8th grade again??? for what reason???? Norwell --> didn't think the team was good enough Bellmont --> Daddy got a job in the school system South Side --> Walked off the court because he didn't listen to the coach. Claimed that another teammate pulled a knife on him in the locker room. North Side --> IHSAA finally woke up and saw the writing on the wall This is not a good track record nor any good reasoning behind it. STAY AWAY!!!
