With that many turnovers maybe a magnet with the same polarity as the ball...

Minny fans probably not going to like hearing that

I'm starting to really like that woman.

This is his 2nd unofficial visit to IU. To spend their own money for not only a first but a second visit says something, I wouldn't be shocked to see him use an official visit and us be a top contender for this kid when it's all said and done.

Luke brown today , Luke brown tomorrow, Luke brown forever.

Things that make me smile: "Bates is a shot maker, the most essential tool in today’s game and Bates has it in spades. He played a vital role on this season’s IMG team as the best perimeter shooter, but also their best perimeter defender," Rivals' national analyst Jamie Shaw said. "It may be easy to pigeonhole Bates into the 3 & D moniker, and that is not a bad thing, but he has a little more shake to his game than that. Bates is good in transition and can knock down a 1-2 dribble pull up, but make no mistakes his offensive game is predicated on his deep range."

Lol

Clowney at IU seems more than likely. Guess we have to just wait, but good things come for those that do:)

Nobody "likes" the idea, it is just matter of making good decisions and IU already requires masks indoors so the precedent is there.

I think we’d have to go to the SEC (2014 SEC East champs, baby!) or become a Service Academy (we do have the bow of a ship out front!) for that.

And our run game against Cinci. We gotta get that figured out. A start to that would be keeping the defense guessing on run/pass. We haven’t been effective doing that. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Just saying very likely. Nothing in life is absolute! Closely listen and read Clowney's words about IU after visit AND the mother's too. LOVED IT!!!!!! Didn't hear much after FL or VA Tech. Says a lot! And he will see Alabama not a basketball school. We should all know in about 2/3 weeks based on his self-imposed timeline and put this issue to rest:)

IIRC, he transferred/moved into Blackford? From Brownsburg maybe? That's not accurate. He transferred moved into Blackford as a freshman. He was never enrolled at Brownsburg and was never going to go there. I don't count anything that happens in AAU because people move teams every time the wind blows for all kinds of reasons. He's quit on 1 team and who knows the real details on that. People just like to find ways to take shots at the kid for some dumb reason.

In my opinion, it doesn't matter how much guessing happens because the front 5 just isn't cutting it out there. And it has a lot of issues to fix. Like in a hurry.

You may be right, but I just checked BTN+ website, and all they have on their event calendar is soccer and ice hockey on Oct 2nd at 4 pm

Look buddy, speak for your own lady time outcomes. I for one hope it's the same outcome as lady time!

Jobe has received an invititation to Coach Wootten's Top 150 Camp set for Oct. 2 and 3. The top 100 seniors, top 50 juniors, and a handful of the top sophomores for both the boys and the girls at the same location for 2 days of competition in Dallas! The invite-only event will be the first time when the top 150 will come together in one location for 2 days of skill work and game to prove themselves.

I'm guessing you are correct it will be extended but if it's not, no way President Whitten will require it. She doesn't like it already.

I don’t think anyone thinks he is coming to Iu. What I will say is that he is an Indiana kid that scored an obscene amount of points in high school and some like me will be interested to follow his college career and threads like this help keep some of us updated

I think he ends up being a Hoosier

For a player thread that some said had no business being on this board and had multiple pages, it sure is getting a lot of posts, some from the biggest complainers Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Well that's reasonable! Doyle gives us two clear options: He's a high-major kid, or Doyle doesn't understand what he's watching. Many would pick 'Option 2'

Christian Humphrey-Rembert from LaLumiere will visit ND on Saturday. Supposedly IU has been in contact with him.

Full story behind the paywall but this teaser quote from Rabby following Fears' weekend visit -- “It was great. Obviously we came back for a reason. We love Indiana."

I know that i have no rep here but the recent addition for VT was Plan B. They really pushed for a commitment from Clowney on the visit. Went with whomever popped first. After his visit this weekend to Bama he will be a Hoosier within 2 weeks. Family will weight all things but IU has been in the drivers seat for quite some time and nothing between now and his decision day should change that.

It’s Tricky. Will he Walk This Way to play for IU in My Adidas? Whatcha Gonna Do? WELCOME TO THE BOARD The RUN DMCer!

Spot on! Phillips Exeter! Vandy on a full ride! Geez HH, that kid is just. a. little. impressive! My daughter went to high school at American Heritage in Delray Florida on a theater/music/academic 75% off ride. Would have been $50k otherwise. When she got there, we discovered that the 90%+ of kids were there without a scholarship and paying full freight--mainly very wealthy families that wanted to say that their kid graduated from a private high school with Ivy league and D1 sports destinations. As with HH, my daughter is now on a more than 50% college ride for musical theater at Boston Conservatory. And the school can say to wealthy parents "look ... another of our kids got somewhere good." IMG is a little different because they are sports-centered only, but methinks it is supported by the wealthy golf, lacrosse, etc families who pay full freight. My son sings classical--a very small and hard to find skill for universities. Every single member of his freshman incoming class got at least 50% off college tuition, and he had four our five offers like that (sadly, including one he turned down from IU). Basketball is likely the small, niche program at IMG where every single kid gets an all but free ride and helps with the school's resume.

The Hawkeyes won their Big Ten opener last week at home 2-1 against Northwestern. In the shortened spring season of 2021 Iowa won their program's first ever Big Ten Tournament Championship, defeating Wisconsin in the final. Iowa beat Campbell in the first round of the NCAA tournament before dropping a match to UCLA. The Hawkeyes finished that season with an overall record of 7-9-1.

Indiana tied a program record for Big Ten wins and established a new school record for Big Ten points in a season with 19. On March 2, the Hoosiers were ranked in the top-25 for the first time since 2013.

That's how I look at it, too. Overall, a weaker non-conference schedule than many years since the top teams aren't as strong but more balanced since the weakest teams aren't as weak. I think it's a good schedule for a team that hasn't been to the NCAA in years since it's a chance to get wins while also allowing for the adjustment process that will be needed considering the roster turnover and a new coaching staff including a head coach who has not coached a college game before. By the end of the season the SOS will be fine from conference play.

RTZ poster on HSN indicating IU it is, early to mid Oct for a time frame. When he speaks I listen.

LaLumiere has a really good academic reputation and of course their basketball speaks for itself. Just saw where a 2024 will take an unofficial visit to Notre Dame next month. MORE TO COME!

While the Penix of old was capable of beating top teams because of great play, it remains to be seen whether current Penix can. What we do know is that current Penix is more than capable of being the reason why we lose to a top 10 team. Can Tuttle give us average against a good team? Because average beats Cincinnati on Saturday. We haven’t seen OSU Penix in any other game before or since that game. And really, it was only half of that game. The first half was pedestrian. That game also happened in a completely empty stadium. We’re not going to (hopefully) see that setting ever again. That’s not to minimize that game, as it was an amazing game, but I’m not holding out hope that we see anything close to that from him again. The last play of the PSU game is what everyone remembers, but as a whole it was a very mediocre game from him. 19/36 for 170 yards, 1 td and 1 int. As far as leashes, I vote for no leash at all. Penix should be benched and Tuttle should start on Saturday against WKU. He needs game reps to get prepared for the gauntlet we have coming up. He’s completed 48% of his passes and thrown 6 interceptions against our two BCS opponents this year. 31 completions to our team and 6 completions to the other team. Potential has been the key word with penix. People have seen his strong arm and moments of greatness and thought about his potential for greatness. But at some point that has to actually materialize. Its his fourth season at IU. At this point, more often than not he’s been inconsistent and injury prone. I’m ready to move on, and if history is an indicator at some point we’ll have to because of injury anymore. He’s never played more than six games in a season, and he’s never lasted until the end of one.

I agree that if you want to beat an OSU, PSU, or someone like that you need Penix to do that. I think Tuttle can manage a win against WKU or Purdue but not sure he can beat a top 25 team. I think that is why you stick with Penix. IU football this season has been like waiting for Christmas to get here, then three presents in so far we've only got socks and underwear.
