    Read today where IU may be switching to nike. Tom Lyles has been known to promote nike. Just saying..... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
  3. So regarding Lyle, do you accept a commitment now or wait till spring? Assuming there is some truth to prior reports on him being challenging I would understand waiting for more evidence he has matured. However, if you wait and he has a productive player year at prep school with an uneventful year regarding issues do you risk having someone else come in and take him away? Assuming CTC has a pretty good feel for what his challenges are and assuming he feels optimist he can connect with him I would accept his commitment and get him signed. I would do this with the understanding that he not have any issues. If he does not show evidence he has grown up then he enters on the same thin ice Patterson may have been on. Get out of line here and your scholarship is gone. I would only wait if you were not confident we will have a spot for a 3rd new comer. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    Excellent article in the Louisville courier journal about the Max commitment. Florida offered him for 2015 and UCONN offered for 14. Also good second hand comments from Goodluck regarding CTC and the program. Anyone criticizing should really sit back and see how the fall Bball season goes. I am fine with a 3 star specialist and he seems to be a kid that can really develop. Would love to add a JBj or JL or DRob if possible. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    All rite! Another IU site!

    I like how I have to learn the nuances of a new board every year or so. It helps keep me young. Thanks to all who do the work so I can simply click on the app and get instant good information. I remember back when in college we had these things called newspapers that kids delivered to your house. We had to wait until about 7 AM when the paper arrived to get any info. Now we get it instantly and I know there are a lot of people out there working hard like that paper carrier to make sure I get info. For that I give a big thanks! Hopefully there are no long lasting hard feelings amongst the mods from both sites because they did a lot of good work as well. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    Personal IU question for everyone?

    Would not trade out team but I think this team was a FF caliber team. I would trade the trophies in a second. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    You are probably right but it sure seems to be the case. It would be great to get in a 5* in '14 but if we end up with a 2-3 3&4 star kids that will be complementary players initially and potentially regular rotation guys as upperclassmen I am OK with that. We have a lot of talent in Bloomington already. @kjrelentless: Sometimes you spend so much time worrying about what you dont have you forget to appreciate what you have right in front of you.

    I missed the 2 inches part. Did NV reportedly grow 2" since coming to IU? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
