I could be wrong but i think Windhorst is more or less Lebrons personal media member. He covers all things Lebron. Been that way forever. I think Lebron trusts him exclusively. I think it's a mutual relationship.

I see what schoosier is spitting tbh. Kid is clearly academically challenged. Kid clearly lacks a strong parental figure. But is he really a bad kid?? He seemed to have a great year at Huntington Prep. He seemed to get along well with Lyles and Blackmon. Idk, I have mixed emotions. He could be a Hollowell type result of a kid that is skilled without the off the court skills. Or he could be a "rescued" teenager that achieves ridiculously due to talent and a chip on the shoulder. I really don't know. If it doesn't lead anywhere, I'm not upset but as a few others mentioned it is worth keeping a close eye on. Particularly if we miss Shake.

SO, is he back on IU's radar for 2015?  I know everyone wants to avoid him but I wonder what the staff thinks?   My personal decision would be to avoid at all costs, just curious.   ND Kendrick has vouched for him over and over.

wise guy eh?? Crean has made some wonderful choices as a Coach and some not so great decisions as a Coach. To this, we can all agree. I think it is FAIR as a FAN on a message board to discuss DECISIONS relating to the team in a fair and educated manner. To this, I have done. You sir, have steered off course into personal remarks.

@insidethehall: O.G. Anunoby told me last night that he plans to have a press conference in the next few weeks to announce his college decision. Sounds like an IU type commitment as of late. Morgan, RobJohnson. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

We could've used him. Big time!

It's the whole revolving door argument. I frankly don't care when lesser players transfer but many do. Recruiting kids that aren't as good as your walk ons is not a solid strategy IMO. If he left schollies open/give them to walk ons, I would IMAGINE it would make recruiting easier. Plus, you get less negative recruiting from rivals. The only recruits I have "wondered" about in Crean's tenure is Etherington, April, Hartman, and Priller. I also wished we had G. Harris over Patterson, but I'm not sure Harris would have been here in any circumstances. I can explain Hartman. He peeked early, and didn't vastly improve. I can explain Etherington. He was a big piece to getting Cody. I can't explain April or Priller except they were the only Big guys willing to come to IU. Or Crean wanted a better "Bench Attitude" and recruited NICE guys who won't complain.

I actually think Prillers pick and pop offense looks good on tape. I think it's the Defensive end that is my biggest concern. The reason I don't include April in my discussions is because I have nothing to judge except some insider info. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

That's a disservice to Howard honestly. Priller can admittedly shoot the ball. However, at the college level you can't be a defensive liability that large. It's not about his shooting or offense. It's his defense/athleticism. At this point, I am happy to watch it play out, but I would just like to know Crean's thinking from the get-go. My BIGGEST question is, why not give Ritchie or Burton a walk-on, 1 year schollie to solve the problem????? Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Great size for a wing type player with perimeter skills. If he is our backup plan for Shake, I'm perfectly fine with that. Like many others, I'd like to have an opening for my pipe dream of Maker, Bryant, or Zimmerman. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Deal! Let's revisit this at season's end. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Hard to tell from this pic, but the 6'8" claims on OG may be correct. Morgan and OG look similar heights in the pic. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

I understand your point too. They do have different skill sets. My comparison and connection relates to upside, athleticism, national recognition, etc... In addition to other sources, my man basketball4iu has stated publicly that April and Priller are very far behind and plain not very good. I am not basing everything on that claim but it fits in to support everything else. I would love as much as anything for these guys to prove us all wrong but do I want to give 4 years of scholarship to get "Jeff Howard" like production for a season or 2? No. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

perfect point. Conscious stream of thought. Not too far off topic. Oh, and BTW OG is a legit prospect that has upside. Recognized in the FALL prior to his Senior season. Another reason, he is not like April and Priller. And another BTW I think Howard is a fair comparison (upside-wise) to Priller. Except Howard is better from what I've heard. Also, people take this as player bashing. It is not. We are happy for these kids but question the "higher ups" for their decision making. For those that know me, I've said the same things about the Hartman signing all along too. Am I right? Likely! Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

I'll just say this, if Priller turns out to be a contributor at any time Crean will have done a MASTERFUL job of developing and recruiting. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

That same argument can be made of his shooting? Small video clips of his shooting too. It doesn't take long to judge ones athleticism. Walk into an open gym and you know the uncoordinated ones in an instant. It doesn't take the full game to determine. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

serious question? Have you seen Priller play Defense or move at all laterally? Did u see him in the post on that video from the other day with Yogi driving on JB? He makes Jeff Howard look athletic. I know it's not all about athleticism but REALLY? Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

pretty much seems that way. Unless he is a spring commit and we lose more than expected. NBA/transfer Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

NOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At least it's not torn, I guess. Three weeks until seasons start. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

that was my thought. I'd think he'd be worth a flyer to IU. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Odd. I know about the injury, but doesn't he have more talent than WMU? Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

How does this relate to OG? Haha. Or does it? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Found this: As a junior last season, Anunoby averaged 21.3 points, 9.9 rebounds and 3.4 blocks in 21 games before breaking his wrist last in the season. Also, Averaged 5.3 ppg for Team Thad in 6 games. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Guess not, it had been Oct. 3 but with all the Bryant excitement, I forgot OG was coming too.

sounds like he moved his visit up?
