There's an event taking placed in Minneapolis this weekend called Battle of the Lakes and the Adidas D1 Minnesota team that includes Matthew Hurt, Tyrell Terry and Zeke Nnaji are participating. This from earlier today. D1 Minnesota beats Beyond Ball 81-47. Zeke Nnaji with his customary workman effort scoring 22, Matthew Hurt had 18. 2019 PG Tyrell Terry! Such a slick ball handler. Creative passer. Can score too w jumper and coast to coast drives. Race Thompson is in the gym watching the D1 Minnesota team. From the list of teams entered I didn't see any other Adidas or UA teams participating that have IU targets.

I love the Crimson standing out as it does. Are the coaches at it again with sending a player? I know Race played for this team (I think) but ...

I think Grant Gelon is still looking for a place. And is Austin Boucher still available?

I’m thinking a class of DJ, Brooks, Watford and TJD. Pretty realistic possibility

Carton, TJD, (Brooks/Watford) would be a silly class. Championship level recruiting. Future so bright we need shades. Normally under Crean era this was not so much an exciting time because our initial targets were rarely possibilities. The tides seem to be shifting. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

New Rabjohns article about Carton He talked about his six finalists and what he likes about each school. Later in the article, Carton also talked about how he feels IU has made him a priority since they started recruiting him last fall. He says, "They've told me I can be one of the guys that helps them win their next National Championship. They've really communicated that to me." Romeo Langford also came up in the interview, Carton said, "I feel like that can have a big impact... They have really good recruits. I feel like when a player like that commits, you can get a lot of people around him." As for visits, "He definitely want's to go see Indiana again," his mother, Jennifer Carton, said. "He wants to go to Michigan again to see the campus. Those are the two priorities. If there's time, he'd like to go to Ohio State one more time." "We like the environment, the winning tradition. Indiana is such a basketball school." - Jennifer Carton As far as a decision timetable, "That will be up to DJ, whatever he needs. Originally we thought fall, but as the process went along, we thought maybe sooner. He does want it to be before his senior year."

Yes, from an article Rabjohns posted

Completely agree, just wanted to hear where RealIU was on it or what he’s has to say on it.

I don't disagree with your assessment, but are your statements more than your own personal feeling?

Well I am a life long IU fan. New to following these threads in the last few months. The Romeo thread was very entertaining and great to know there are people out there with knowledge to learn from. As for Morgan, I’m glad he has interest but not going through the process since it’s available would be crazy. I hope he’s back with the team, but if he finds a way into the league all the best to him.. Thanks for the help.

They are 2 over and have 3 still in draft process Most think the twins will not be back but if they decide to comeback they will make it work. If they come back and Jordan Caroline comes back as well Nevada could be a top a preseason top 5 team. If the twins leave they will still be a top 15 team in my opinion. They added Amin as a grad transfer that will cover them if the martins leave Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Tonight was the dedication of the basketball court in Romeo's honor. Does he ever look good in that Indiana shirt. Autographing a ballbat no less!

If he returns, IU would have the pieces to create something very special. The dynamics and potential of this team would be fantastic. However, if you look at the flip side, I would love for him to get a shot based on his work ethic, attitude, and constant improvement. It is great to see a good kid get rewarded for having a high character. What pisses me off are guys like Diallo from UK that haven't proven anything, haven't improved, and expect to get drafted based on potential that may never pan out.

It seems to me that the pull for Juwan would be purely a monetary decision; one extra year of getting paid well to be a basketball player, very likely in Europe. Or, one year earlier entry into the G-League with an opportunity to build an NBA resume for an extra year. The counter-pull is a quality of life issue for the next year; without question playing in front of packed houses, adoring fans, alongside his best friends, and on national television can only be accomplished at one place, IU, and that option only exists for one more year of his life . In my opinion, I expect that given the upside of those options, Juwan's family and his values, he will forestall his entry to the paid workplace, and stay.

Regardless of rotation, I am ecstatic that we are much deeper from top to bottom, much more skilled on the wing, and overall our playmaking/shot making has improved. I tell myself daily that I have to keep my expectations down and to not get over excited.

If tjd was 2 inches taller, he’d skip college. Think he’s a 2 year player Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Hate to be an a$$, but geez, sometimes our fan base acts like the ugly kid in the corner of the party who thinks that a pretty girl will never talk to him, and can’t deal with it when she does. We’ve got a great coach, a killer campus, great history, the best fans, chicks a go-go, some pretty good players already, and have seen five or six five stars at IU in the last ten years, and that was back when we had a goofy-a$$ coach running the show. In other words; damn straight Romeo Langford chose IU...because it was the best choice. So for those that are doing so, stop with the whiny inferiority complex, and stop wondering whether it’s a fluke; we’re about to get a regular progression of big time talent, and we’re about to start kicking some serious backside on a national level.

This is for Old Fart and other Colts fans. Andrew Luck reading a Capt. Andrew Luck tweet.

I think the conditioning thing gets a little overblown. Between zero gravity treadmills and water workouts, a guy can stay in shape without putting much weight at all on his feet. Now, it isn’t game shape, but he isn’t just relaxing for 9 months. If he’s cleared before the season, he should be ready for some minutes early on. He looks good in the construction pictures.
