Who’s coming to Big Blue Madness? UK has another star-studded guest list.

...Five-star forward Matthew Hurt was rumored this fall to be visiting for Big Blue Madness, but he will not be in town this weekend and said at last week’s USA Basketball camp that he plans to take most of his visits during the season.

Tomorrow, Vic will save a cat stuck in a tree on the way to practice. Cool that he got 'caught' being a good person.
 

Dont forget smith can shoot also. His shot wasnt great last year but it looked good and i expect improvement. Also mcbob will shoot good i believe. I also think devante can step up. Shooting should be improved as a whole and we should be a load to deal with is my prediction

Basketball recruits, wins and championships.
That’s what.
 

If a crime has been committed, and it seems in this case one was, is there not an obligation to go to the police? Failure to do so allows a predator to be free to do the same thing to others. I believe in due process and finding justice to the best of the systems ability.

He said develop; not use. Why would Juwan be a better comparison when he's a four year player? I don't get why it's such a bad thing for a one and done to want to see how a coach develops his first one and done. 

May have more to do with how a top 10 kid does in our system than a particular position.

@BlueGreyFB: #Hoosiers commit Matthew Bedford (@MatthewBedfor14) was selected to play in this year's #BlueGreyFootball All-American Bowl at Dallas Cowboys' AT&T Stadium.

Forrester is doing his part! Also good to see this attitude, since it's basically Jake getting recruited over. I've heard many times that Jake brings some real personality to the team.
 
 

A classmate of mine actually played with Matthew at the Adidas AA camp this summer and mentioned to me a few weeks back how often he talked about Indiana and how highly he spoke of IU. Clearly there is a long way to go in this recruitment but I figured it was a good time to pass this on. Always nice to hear a player of his caliber have positive things to say about the program.

Not really anything we didn't already know but interesting nonetheless.

Top-10 forward Matthew Hurt eager to see how IU basketball develops Romeo Langford

"I'm pretty sure he's (Romeo) one-and-done," Hurt said. "I just want to see how they develop him. What they do for him is key for me."
 

If we land Hurt on top of Jackson Davis and Brooks I'll piss myself

James' flip to IU is really ironic because yesterday Punt John Punt tweeted:  That's the recruiting advantage that OSU has. Not a single current IU player had an OSU offer.
Takes care of that if we can hold on to him!

Visiting for an actual basketball game gives IU a better shot

Warren Central remained unbeaten with a 41-17 win over Carmel.  Bell finished with 9 catches for 134 yds. and 3 TD's.  Full game summary at:  https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2018/10/06/indiana-high-school-football-best-ever-team-warren-central-david-bell-jayden-george-romeir-elliott/1545963002/

Truth.... You speak it.

Hollowell, Patterson, etherington, and Davis were all an hour away. That didn't go so well....

IMO, Hollowell was a turnover machine that while talented, he lacked focus and was slightly above average at a lot of different things, but not particularly great at any one thing. He's a below average ball handler, average athlete, average shooter, decent rebounder, average defender, etc. Just nothing stands out.

Imagine if Watford was an average shooter? He would have been much less valuable. Watford being a great shooter is what makes him valuable and stand out. Hollowell doesn't have that thing, which makes him pretty average IMO.

So let me get this, the summary of the last few pages of this thread is that 1) Jeremiah April was a best post player last year and 2) Jeremy Hollowell should've started as a freshman on a team that was consistently ranked no. 1 without even earning it. Man some of you guys need to put down whatever you are taking and get out and get some air hahaha

Thomas Bryant will make a bigger impact than Thon Maker. It's been reported that Thon is more raw than what his highlights show. Thomas is more physically ready at this point and will be next season. Now as for Thon, just bc I don't think he will be as impactful immediately, that doesn't change the fact that he probably has more potential than anyone ever.

Also the supporting cast around Zeller might have had better basketball IQs, but idk that you can say they're better. If Thomas were to come in next year the talent level around him would be higher than that around Zeller.

Sir, Stevens and Donovan are NOT walking through that door. Whoever convinced you as such did you a disservice...

WOW! This fanbase is amazing. No one on here has a clue as to what is happening out there. You want to know what is going to happen. Absolutely nothing...status quo! We all want to see this program back in national prominence but we don't make the decisions. Crean is going nowhere and all of this back and forth between the same 20 individuals on this forum with all of this so-called "insider info" isn't even entertaining anymore. What do you folks want Glass to do...hold a news conference stating that he and the University are behind CTC? I believe he has said this numerous times the last couple of months and somehow it is not registering in heads of many. Crean is not going anywhere before next season. Asking our AD to continuously come out and offer support for our coach just makes our fanbase look like morons (see pUKe fans)! When it happens, it will happen.
