Put me in the group that doesn’t have much faith newton will be feasible. Wasn’t a high level recruit (top 30) and hasn’t played in awhile with major injuries. I hope I’m wrong but wouldn’t be counting on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea but he also left that program. You could be right but haven’t heard any of that from them. Granted we haven’t talked about where Trent would play much anytime I’ve talked to them. Louisville would make sense being as it’s an hour drive and super easy from their house but atm I just don’t see it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why would you think that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes but how many of those recruits have chosen to play for IU or has committed to IU? If they love it so much then why do we only have one class of 24 signed and losing interest daily with the 25 class? Woodson also said he wanted to get to a 4 out 1 in offense obviously that wasn’t true. People say stuff all the time usually actions speak louder than words. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This isn’t true necessarily from a system standpoint. I happen to know one family being recruited by indiana who is not a fan of the system and offense being ran. To think kids nowadays like playing in this slow pace offense with the lack of 3 point shooting I think is being naive because that is not the landscape of the game anymore. You really just have to watch warm ups at any level to get this picture. It’s a race to the 3 point line to shoot, shoot, and shoot more 3’s. Also why the big ten struggles getting the top talent each year because the brand of big ten ball isn’t appealing and isn’t really successful in the tournament either.

Owen’s was down to see Trent the other day. I do know that the Sisley family are huge fans of Walsh as well and say he has done a good job with Trent recruitment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not true at least for Sisley anyways. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think it could be any of those as long as it’s the head coach and not the assistant most of the time. Especially when the head coach of the other schools recruiting him are doing most of the legwork. This family loves IU and they love Walsh he has done a fantastic job but Walsh isn’t the head coach. He isn’t coming to play for Walsh just like he wouldn’t go to Purdue or Notre Dame to play for the assistant coach. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not going to say much more out of respect of the family and not wanting to give away things I’ve been told because I respect their trust but not the case in this instance is all I’ll say. This also doesn’t mean that he won’t end up at IU I have no clue and I don’t think this recruit has a clue yet either or he would be committed somewhere already. It’s also not me advocating for or against Woodson just addressing the worries that have been brought up about recruiting and I know some of those worries are true and resonate with recruit’s.

Not the case with this family as his father is very much a huge part of his life. But when Izzo and Painter are the lead recruiter in your recruitment and they are constantly reaching out to you but Walsh is the only guy really contacting you or coming to see you it makes an impression. Doesn’t really have much to do with the need “shown love” as this kid isn’t that type of kid but more to do with why play for a coach that doesn’t seem too interested in you when others schools and coaches seem to want you more and you do like those schools as well.

I also know a family well that isn’t too happy with Woodys lack of involvement like the other head coaches are that are recruiting him. It’s their main concern right now and they want to be shown love by the head coach. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is correct he wanted him as a walk on but Blake was over the grind of basketball and just wanted to go to school. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had dinner with his dad last night. No clear cut leader at this point if you want an honest answer. Really taking his time and enjoying the visits and what not. Will probably look to narrow the list soon to about 4 and 5 and basically the ones Chris mentioned will be the cut if no one else new jumps in soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I mean it’s not over until he announces UK but this isn’t great news I’m sure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
