RP is not the early answer. But RP could grow into a perfect situation. He is a pass first PG, (which was a major issue in AAU because his team was, frankly, horrible) and if IU is going to land all this talent we keep talking about 2-5, RP is perfect. Holds onto the ball, distributor, floor general. All the while IU can swing away at PG if they please.

Don't think it matters honestly.

My plan would be Romeo (also, BPA) which I think the staff is making headway on.... Does seem there is a scenario where it's BPA+ a big. No one is telling me that, just seems to be the way so take that fwiw

I wouldn't sweat it. Heard again this weekend from two unrelated people it will be IU.

lol I was bundling that in "IQ"

Well, and the hands.

This recruitment is worth paying attention to and may have some legs

Conversation seems to be splitting into other threads, let's keep it all here.

Okay, but seriously IU needs a 1/2 going forward....like immediately. CCG instilled me not to let these get off topic, so I'll start a '19 thread...respond there, let's get it going

Yeah, no one is saying IU has taken over. IU doesn't trail. Long way to go but in as good as shape as any

Yeah he's got old info. Things have changed. MSU still there but IU isnt behind anyone - I know that.

And predicatively...back to the bottom. It'll be a fun year for Mizzou fans though

Corey Evans @coreyevans_10 3m 2019 D1 Minnesota five-star forward Matthew Hurt will take an unofficial visit to UCLA on August 21

IU has scouted him. Yes, and PJ's brother (Purdue).

PG Cole Anthony (9) Jeremiah Francis (51) Isaiah Thompson (180) SG SF Trendon Watford (13) PF Matthew Hurt (5) Keion Brooks (21) Francis Okoro (24) Isaiah Stewart (32) Trayce Jackson-Davis (102) C James Wiseman (2) Kofi Cockburn (27) Obviously, the staff is looking at more, just a rough draft. A bunch of Indiana kids who they're evaluating at this point. I'll add, but PM me if I missed more significants. I expect 2-3 on the class.

Yeah, gotcha. My apologies if it came off different. Just meant the Langfords have made them move on.

You guys know recruiting better than this...

Think it's the other way around, tbh. Tim and Sabrina want him close

"Then Indiana’s Tom Crean showed up. He sat through 10 minutes of our open gym, offered Will a scholarship, went back to Bloomington and he and his staff went to work, consistently and precisely recruiting him. They recruited Will like they absolutely needed him and they did it from that open gym until signing day. 1,120 career points, a Big10 Title, a few Big10 individual accolades and a game winning NCAA tourney shot to send IU to the Sweet 16 later and Coach Crean looked pretty smart. He knew what he was looking for, he saw it, and he pounced…decisively and consistently." Full quote.

I think we're split here talking about two different situations. I took this as late clock, offense broke down, iso/create shot w some semblance of consistency

Haven't read this thread, and while you may be right given this roster, I don't have a ton of confidence in any of them in said situation.

Thanks, Wayne.

Agreed, unless dominoes start falling before he makes his decision. But as I see it now, I'm with you.

He has a real knack for finding space. Rotates around a zone D as the ball moves, waits for his man to turn in man and finds space. His ability to get open off the ball is well above avg and gets him those open looks over and over again.
