Class of '66 Old Fart

Jobe has received an invititation to Coach Wootten's Top 150 Camp set for Oct. 2 and 3. The top 100 seniors, top 50 juniors, and a handful of the top sophomores for both the boys and the girls at the same location for 2 days of competition in Dallas! The invite-only event will be the first time when the top 150 will come together in one location for 2 days of skill work and game to prove themselves.

Comment on Gibbs-Lawhorn following last weekend's DT Academy event in Norcross, GA. The Indiana-native is prepping in Utah and immediately popped out during drills, he’s got a great-looking jump shot that soars and cuts the net, in 3 on 3 drill work he was unstoppable and took much of that into gameplay Sunday where he was able to take anyone there off the bounce (and there were some serious defenders in the gym) and was tremendous out in the open floor, can play it smooth or get off the deck in a hurry around the basket, holds Indiana and Purdue offers from his home state and that list is going to expand rapidly.

@saisportsagency added this today. As a slight correction, Achilleas will be playing in the top league in Cyprus called the OPAP Basketball League this season after earning promotion last year!

Hey gang, so far so good, but we're dipping our toe into politics so we need to tread lightly. And FWIW, we know the only chant PUke students know and it hasn't done a thing for their general standing or IQ level after all these years.

Word circulated he bailed on his AAU team.

That is correct.

Information this morning: IU spokesperson says face coverings are required.

Staying with the same team for 2021-2022 Strategic Athlete Initiatives @SAIsportsagency SAI is pleased to announce that De'Ron Davis has finalized a contract to play in Cyprus! Davis will be a driving force for Achilleas Kaimakliou for the 2021-22 season!

Aw, you're breakin' my heart -- NOT!

Background on Logan Imes. Interesting comment from Mark Adams his Indiana Elite (Adidas) AAU coach who started him out on the 16U squad and then moved him up to the 17U team. “I don’t play guys up very often,” Adams said. “The only two guys I’ve played up from 16u to 17u in 30 years are Yogi Ferrell and Kyle Guy, and Logan Imes now. … It takes a little toughness to play up an age group where you don’t get bullied, and he’s a tough kid.” https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-recruiting-class-of-2023-names-to-know-in-state-guard-logan-imes/?fbclid=IwAR2TJpgya8-En54evhuAjj8I2_ZCAG4_ur6CF42F8B3o13u0cQObntJj7Bw

Full story behind the paywall but this teaser quote from Rabby following Fears' weekend visit -- “It was great. Obviously we came back for a reason. We love Indiana."

The Daily Hoosier reporting we were in Zionsville this morning to watch '23 Logan Imes.

Hoosiers 31 Anthill Stompers 17

Jeremy's younger brother '25 Jeremiah Fears already drawing major interest. Jeremiah Fears @jeremiahfears2 Blessed to receive an offer from the university of Illinois

In his own words: "...110% committed to Northeastern."

Jon Rothstein - Purdue's Mason Gillis will not play in the Boilers' first four regular season games, per Matt Painter. Gillis will also not play in the team's exhibition game or its scrimmage vs. Providence. Gillis was recently sentenced to probation after pleading guilty to a count of OWI.

If (and that's a huge if) he ever lands an IU offer, he's welcome to his own thread but this is an Indiana University forum and he doesn't warrant his own thread.
