Good for Devin. I really wish it would have worked out here. I'm not concerned about Devin's character like some of you. And idk what to say about the rest of the crap in this thread. Good for Devin.

April signing period begins tomorrow so this wasn't abnormal or anything for anyone wondering.

Freddie McSwain Jr @Mcswain_swain Deciding between K-State and Indiana on April 24th 5:30 Central time #NEOSHO #Blessed

Spot on

He's a hell of a player. But IU essentially sees him once instead of (potentially) twice and has no impact on the conference.

Think so, too. Decision is not clear cut but, without knowing what the NBA is saying exactly, makes sense to leave.

Alex Kline ‏@TheRecruitScoop 30m30 minutes ago 2016 SG Josh Jackson of Prolific Prep (CA) - a top-5 prospect nationally - has committed to Kansas. Jeff GoodmanVerified account ‏@GoodmanESPN 29m29 minutes ago Kansas will have perimeter trio of Frank Mason, Devonte Graham & Josh Jackson -- w/Carlton Bragg & Landen Lucas up front. KU needed Jackson. Sweet.

So this conversation is happening in a few different threads and I figured I'd consolidate it to one. If it continues in all the others, so be it. Obviously, this has a pretty big impact on the 2016-2017 Hoosiers. Does Troy leave or stay? Adrian WojnarowskiVerified account ‏@WojVerticalNBA 7h7 hours ago Indiana junior forward Troy Williams will enter the 2016 NBA draft without immediately hiring an agent, league sources tell @TheVertical.

Haha yeah. Definitely taking Troy over Mcswain if given the option.

Pure speculation...but I don't think Mcswain's commitment will be accepted until Troy is thought to be out the door. Crean is a huge part of the process (talking w Troy, Lucas, Boo, the NBA, family) and will have a read on it

Jeff Barker @sunjeffbarker Diamond Stone will depart #Terps by hiring an agent. Melo Trimble will "explore" NBA by assessing draft without an agent

Alex Bozich @insidethehall McSwain said he plans to make his decision after visiting Indiana. #iubb Alex Bozich @insidethehall 2016 forward Freddie McSwain @Mcswain_swain tells me that Indiana and Kansas State are his top two schools. #iubb

I'd cry. And I haven't cried since I watched "Miracles From Heaven".....yesterday. I kid, I kid

Yup http://www.scout.com/corporate/2018-basketball-prospects

I think Troy goes. I hope I'm wrong

Just a summary here: Four schools seem to be shaping up to have a shot with Langford. UL, IU, Duke, UK. UL was thought to be the "leader" (just in the best shape, not sure Langford is actually at that point) probably because of location. In case any don't know, New Albany is right across the Ohio river from Louisville. That whole area is thought to be UL country so maybe some assumptions were made. Mom and Dad did not like the prostitute thing and it had an impact; to the point where they cancelled an in-home with Pitino. UL is still in it, but they have that to overcome. IU is going to give it there all here. Crean has formed a pretty strong relationship with Romeo and his parents- but especially Romeo. There was some talk that he may not see Crean as a basketball fit, but likes him as a man. I don't know if that's true or not but it was out there early and multiple people in NA have said that. I am pretty certain that the "he'll never play for Crean" stuff is BS. It won't be easy, but IU is in it. Duke is just getting started here. It's no secret that Romeo likes Duke, and has, but it isn't as open and closed as some people are making it out to be. Could he end up at Duke? Sure. But Duke is going to have to win the recruitment. The idea that a kid liked a school growing up is worth some but there is a lot more that goes into a decision like this. PJ Dozier grew up an IU fan. IU recruited him. He ended up elsewhere. Believe Braxton Key (Blackwell) was the same. Duke may be the one to watch, but it isn't like he is about to commit. UK is just getting involved seriously. Cal watched him a few weeks ago along w everyone else at Bankers Life Arena. He is that level of recruit and the NBA success I would think would be very attractive. It wouldn't make him many friends at home, I can't imagine. I think UK has been in contact for awhile but it now starting to actively recruit him. Obviously, UK is always dangerous.

No biggie. I like people posting what they're hearing or reading because things are always changing in recruiting and what I say isn't always as current as what someone else may know. Also, they may have a better source or closer to the situation.

So, yeah.

Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN Duke freshman Derryck Thornton will transfer, source told ESPN:

“Right now, I’m still deciding,” Williams said. “I’ll be making an announcement here soon. In the next couple of days.” http://www.insidethehall.com/2016/04/09/troy-williams-says-nba-draft-decision-coming-soon/

Pat Lawless @PatLawless_ '18 St. Louis Eagles PG Darius Garland is controlling the tempo & has been showing off his smooth shooting stroke thus far at #TheWarmup. Brian Snow @BSnowScout Darius Garland continues to be good at basketball

Pretty simple...he has elite athleticism which can't be taught. Unfortunately, there a ton of holes in his game (ball control, dribbling, defense, shot) which has lowered his stock considerably. Those, in theory, are fixable. I hope like hell it works out for Troy and someone takes a chance and signs him or he develops and makes something for himself but I wouldn't be the GM making that move.

Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN Georgia Tech could finalize the deal with Pastner tomorrow, multiple sources told ESPN. Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN One source on this Georgia Tech-Pastner deal: “I’d be surprised if it doesn’t happen.” Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN If Pastner does get Ga. Tech, it will be interesting to see names that pop up for Memphis: Gregg Marshall, Penny Hardaway, Jeff Capel, etc.

Jeff Rabjohns @JeffRabjohns Duke assistants Jon Scheyer, Nolan Smith visited New Albany's Romeo Langford today.

UA Indy Hoosiers @Indyhoosiersbba @JeffRabjohns Keion Brooks Jr will play with Kris Wilkes, Paul Scruggs and 2017 Indy Hoosiers in NY for 1st session of UA. Watch this Frosh!
