Again, the Coleman stuff is not groundbreaking but I thought I needed to share that as I've been beating JS over the head for the past year w the idea that he isn't coming to IU. Thought that needed rectified a bit as it was off-base.

Nothing too significant. I just heard about a week ago that any talk of Coleman leaning one way or another is a guess. JC and his Dad have kept his recruitment close to the vest and have not even put much focus on it themselves. The fact that there is no "IU vibe" is to be expected based on how the family is handling the recruitment. If thats what is making people feel there is a "UM vibe", I'm told that is guesswork not rooted in any sort of fact. Coleman values his relationship with Crean. They go back a ways now, at this point, as Crean offered JC in 8th grade. I'm not saying IU is in the drivers seat by any means, but it's more open at this point and IU will get an OV. The UNLV thing has to do with ties to the La Lum program for those wondering.   In terms of the entire class, it would be more accurate after the July evaluation period as kids begin to see who is showing the most interest, making them a priority, and setting OV's based on that. For now, based on the landscape I say we take 4 in 2015. 3 makes too much sense. Our needs were identified above and I'll just be putting these somewhat realistic options (in a position to get an OV) in order I'd take them, by position.       PG / CG     -  PJ Dozier,  Jalen Coleman, Jimmy Whitt, Donavon Mitchell, Kenny Williams Wing          -  Prince Ali, Shake Milton, Derrick Jones, Chris Clarke, AJ Turner PF              - Caleb Swanigan, Juwan Morgan, Raymond Spalding, Jared Reuter     Could be missing a few...

JS I think your points are valid, but you do bring them up in every single thread you can. I have zero problem with it, but I can also see others annoyance with it.    On a positive note, I have some positive feedback on your main man :)

Let's get one together on the other side. Seems like the landscape has changed since we had a "bigger picture thread" even on the basketball side

@RyanJamesMN: Jimmy Whitt explosion. Just scored 7 in a minute including a dunk and trey. Now has 17pt. Gopher Team Camp     Whitt sorta went off in this MN camp. Lots of praise on the defensive end, as well.

That left hook was rooouuggghhhh

You're right, just so careless. He has always dominated w his speed/power but man, Gamboa met his match today

Wow, that was fun. 

wow. he cant even brawl with him! Thats his game!

I guess I havent seen enough of Gamboa but in the 5-6 fights i've seen I've never seen him do anything but dominate. He looks exposed. His form is just too lose for Crawfords skill it seems to me

I havent actually seen him either. Gamboa was running through the fight before he got dropped.

Big right hand. Biiiggg right hand Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
