Brooke’s and TJD and a grad transfer and he looks like a genius. We whiff on that group and we will be struggling to put together a class here Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

They need to make it so the first 200 students at the gate get them. That way people come early and are rewarded and also get to sit with the friends they came with. The approach being implemented is over thinking and complicating things in a negative way Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

And on top of that, the person has to arrive at least an hour early and hang out by themselves... brilliant! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I like the idea but the execution of it seems odd. Beyond that, these kids that get the upgrade will no longer be with their friends which is half the fub Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

That team had depth too. There are some interesting similarities between that team and this one from a pure basketball standpoint and that team was really good until it started to unravel. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

There is zero chance he averages 10 rebounds a game... but 19 sounds right for ppg Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I’m looking at this a bit more optimistically with IU winning by 14. Loyola caught lighting in a bottle last year with great chemistry and are reloading in most positions and Loyola hardly reloads like an IU does/should. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Hard to imagine any kid being there for that game, especially when their brother was the hero and not want to be a part of that. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

No:) Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Did they provide anything more? Like, why December vs November or January? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I mostly agree but don’t as far as most people wanting 3 and 4 year players. People are chomping at the bit to land 2 potential 1 and dones in TJD and Brooke’s and would jump at the chance to add Hurt or Watford or Anthony etc. It’s cute to say I want 3 and 4 year players blah blah blah but if we had the opportunity to land Brooke’s, TJD, Hurt and Anthony and that was our 2019 recruiting class... there would be nothing but excitement for the program and applause for how awesome our staff did.

They could and should get the death penalty. If they aren’t THE prime case for it then the ncaa no longer believes in it as a form of punishment. Crazy they have convinced kids that nothing bad is coming their way Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Who are you talking to? This has been the most benign recruitment thread I’ve seen Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

It was sad:( Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Is it that hooker U has no chance of getting the death penalty or that players don’t care? Shocking given the developments of cheating and prostitution that players and their parents are thinking”yeah, I want to go there” Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

He didn’t, and doesn’t which makes it strange to state things with absolute certainty all the times Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Coaches definitely get their hands dirty, see entire Louisville staff for example Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Didn’t 007 say the staff was very confident in getting Darius Garland all the way up till they didn’t? That alone gives me pause but trying to overrule myself on that hesitation Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yep, fitzner alone isn’t anything for teams to worry about but because Juwan is so good near the basket they will have to double and fitzner can make them pay if Juwan can find him Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yes, me too. I think Archie needs to capitalize on Juwan and his development as much as he can this recruiting cycle and next while he is still known in the college game. A few years from now he likely won’t have the same brand recognition as he doesn’t exactly translate as well to the nba game and that isn’t a knock on Juwan or Archie, he is an undersized big Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yeah, I would think he would look at Juwans development a lot closer than he would Langford’s. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Nobody is saying he isn’t good but he is likely the reason Purdue is being picked to place so high and he just isn’t THAT good to carry an average Purdue team to greatness Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Are we sure he didn’t? I mean, one of the coaches on trial worked under Crean for years... Dakich also alluded to TB’s recruitment being shady and now is making statements about how we should all be thankful he didn’t play those games... He talks out of his @$$ Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Are we though? What if both go pro after one year and we are left with no balance in this class? I don’t think a class of Franklin only for 3 years is ideal Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
