Congrats to the young man. Another high caliber kid entering the program.

Per Rabby Woody and Ya are at Dorman High School currently to see Clowney

Florida--likely out Bama -- puncher's chance with a great visit this weekend - 15% VT -- even their 'insider' mod is starting to lean IU - 25% IU -- When the recruit's mama starts liking Jakai Newton new recruit posts a month after Noah's OV, I start to believe more and more -- 60%

https://247sports.com/college/indiana/Article/Jakai-Newton-Covington-Indiana-basketball-recruiting-official-visit-173373015/ Of the interviews he’s given, this one with Rabby is probably the gushiest. Seemed pretty blown away that fans were cheering him at the football game. This fan base never misses a chance to make an impression.

Dickie V has lymphoma at age 82. High cure rate but still very dangerous at his age. Prayers for Dickie V! He’s a quality person who’s done a lot of good for a whole lot of people.

Was just perusing his Mom’s Twitter feed. She is objectively great and they appear to be a pretty spectacular family. Has a Master’s in Psychology and runs a non-profit that works with families of kids with disabilities. Just good, good folks. Getting happier about this one all the time.

Keep your day job!

Archie and Hummel...a truly excellent analysis of the B1G for the upcoming season. First interesting takeaway from Archie: MSU doesn't have an apparent first or second team All-B1G player. Says teams without a first or second all-conference player rarely will contend. Second interesting takeaway: Hummel loves the addition of Durr. Archie thinks that Parker Stewart and X Johnson are the most productive twosome added by any team in America. Archie actually said he believes that Parker and X could step in and be all-conference type players. Both are very high on the Hoosiers--Archie has them fifth. Third interesting takeaway (that me and my kid were discussing last night): Just because Mike Smith crushed it at the point for UM last year does NOT mean that UM and MSU will re-create that with their small school transfer projected point guard starters this year. All league teams: Archie: Kofi Dickinson TJD Liddell Trevion Williams Hummel: Kofi Liddell Dickinson Curbelo Ivey

Yessir ... Yas-sir! Gonna be looking for a Sonya Clowney happy face on his commitment announcement.

There’s no trying to change his mind. VT was in earlier this week so IU went to see him today. Even if you feel very good about a recruitment you still go and visit

*succinctly identifies why Purdue was not an option.

You know more about this than I do. Maybe it all comes down to 1 person starting a rumor but I have heard from several that say we have received a verbal from Newton. IMO the next 4 to be Hoosiers Newton Clowney Cupp Booker

One of the 'Likes" for his Twitter commitment announcement is Kenya Hunter.

Announcing in two days! Definitely think that’s a great sign. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Damn kids stay outta my yard!

I am hoping Kyrie holds out. I am hoping a lot of these players do. Bradley Beal, Jonathan Isaac, Michael Porter Jr. It is rare to get essentially celebrities to go against the grain like they are.

Pocket City Fall Basketball League -- Trent Sisley suffered a slight ankle sprain in his first game yesterday. Added an ankle brace and scored 46 in his second game.

We better be paying for eight wins, dammit.

Yes and it’ll be announced Friday lol

Wow! This picture of (left to right) Coach Woodson, Yogi Ferrell, and Jakai Newton is outstanding! ;)

Howdy y’all. I have returned for the season. Go Hoosiers! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

There’s more fact to it than rumor

FWIW Comer isn't a Big Ten talent. IUPUI and that level a better fit and UIndy or Marian would be better. Having coached a lot against him and having seen true D1 kids, he's not quite at that level.

The rumor was out this morning that he committed today. It think it’s likely that he did and requested and edit to post to go along with his live announcement.
