Literally such a wildcard at this point. My main source is a national guy, as most know, and no one has a clue if he's going to be eligible or not. Not too long ago the narrative was "I'd be surprised" but people see coaches getting invested. Speaks to Steve Smith's reputation, but idk, the reality of his academic situation is tricky. So it's going till spring. If UK has a spot and he's qualified, which they need a ton of bodies, I see that more likely when they push. USC can't be discounted either, but the kid has the talent to play anywhere. If anyone is expecting this HH commitment or shortly after (I have not been reading this thread, just saying)...prepare to be let down

Preston or Wilkes?

Wilkes to me, no question

Missed it. Can someone give a few player breakdowns?

No info, was just my thought. A poster above has info and said he isn't likely to be back next year

Hey RBB89, I appreciate you keeping everyone up to date with all of this. Thanks!

Elite PG on both ends who will stay 3-4 years is your QB. Keeps the teams identity, leader, attracts others. Wings are plentiful in recruiting. Bigs you can get but they leave.

Yeah thats someone who has no clue what is happening, who Kris is, and what is important to Kris and his family

IU put a ton of work in here. Ultimately, backed off after all the fall out from the Prolific Prep move. Scruggs desire to be a PG was a massive deal (I can't emphasize this enough) in this and IU didn't have as clear of a path. IU prioritized Waters at some point. This part is just opinion...it seems IU was not sold on Scruggs as a PG, and if that's what they were going to get, Waters made more sense and was the better get at the position.

An argument could be made that this is the most vital recruit/recruitment right now.

Yeah, that's way off haha

Interesting. Thanks

CoachC@McCutcheon @CoachC_McC Minnesota will be in today to see 2018 Robert Phinisee @GopherMBB

Getting a little ahead of ourselves but I actually agree with Wayne except Hartman. I think he comes back and IU doesn't return one of Cujo, Green, Newkirk, Gelon...or Al doesn't come. Not based on info, just the way I see it

The staff knows what they're doing here

Sorta depends at this point. My gut says yes but no decision has been made so I'd be lying if I gave you a straight yes

He'll be there

Just that percentage is in his favor but I could say that about any recruit in the world. Nature of recruiting

Preston is not a Wilkes back up plan

:)

Like the "Waters to UK" stuff...let's take a long, collective, deep breath.

I've seen discussion on next years team come up in various threads and just figured it made sense to consolidate it into one thread. Or that's how my brain works.     Known losses: Yogi Ferrell, Nick Zeisloft, Max Bielfeldt Known additions: PF De'Ron Davis, CG Curtis Jones, CG Grant Gelon, CG Devonte Green Possible losses: Thomas Bryant, Troy Williams, James Blackmon???   Roster Josh Newkirk        6-1 185 Guard Jr. James Blackmon  6-4 195 SG Jr. OG Anunoby        6-8 215 SF So.  Robert Johnson   6-3 195 CG Jr.  Troy Williams       6-7 215 SF Sr. Thomas Bryant    6-10 245 C So. Collin Hartman     6-7 215 PF Sr  Juwan Morgan     6-7 205 PF So. De'Ron Davis       6-10 230 PF Fr. Curtis Jones         6-3 170 CG Fr. Devonte Green    6-2 180 CG Fr. Harrison Niego    6-2 185 CG So. * Quentin Taylor    6-2 180 SG So. * Tim Priller            6-9 225 PF Jr. Grant Gelon        6-5 180 CG Fr.       * walk on

Word around here is he won't leave the east coast or distance is, at the very least, a factor here.

Eric Bossi @ebosshoops Five-star guard Collin Sexton says he's eyeing a November decision.
