Long ago fell off the IU radar. Adam Finkelstein @AdamFinkelstein @TEAMLOADED17U forward Tyler Nickel, one of the best shooters in the ESPN , is down to Butler, Iowa, LSU, North Carolina, & Virginia Tech.

Final stats from the Top 60 Camp. Today was a tournment format with the top 4 teams squaring off. The Hawks team that included Banks, Iwuchukwu, Reneau and Bona were the overall winners of the event. As I mentioned above, neither Bona nor Isaiah Collier have an IU offer. We watched Collier in several games this past month but his performance in this event certainly wasn't eye popping. Both Noah Clowney and Bona were named to the camp's all-star team.

A little trivia. If you don't think Montverde Academy is a tough place to get playing time it had a total of 7 kids drafted and 4 of them were in the first round: Cade Cunningham - #1, Scottie Barnes - #4, Moses Moody - #14, and Day’Ron Sharpe #29! Currently we have offers out to 3 Montverde kids: Jalen Hood-Schifino, Vincent Iwuchukwu and Malik Reneau.

Stats for the 4 games played at the Top 60 Camp. I included Bona and Collier simply because we did watch them during the month of July. Neither has an IU offer. Kaleb Banks had an outstanding 2nd game this afternoon. Malik Reneau played well in both of today's games. W/L Pts. FGM FGA 3PM 3PA FTM FTA Reb Assts.

Couple of observations from today's NBAP Top 60 Camp. HoopSeen - The team of Stephon Castle Jett Howard, Vincent Iwuchukwu, and Adem Bona have won the 3x3 competition. Trent Markwith - I don’t think there’d be much of an argument to the claim that Adem Bona is the most athletic big man at NBPA Top 100. He’s been punishing the rims every chance he gets while also being extremely vocal and showing defensive versatility.

Three-time All-American Armando Betancourt (1979-81) passed away on Wednesday in in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. He was 63 years old. https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2021/7/28/mens-soccer-mens-soccer-mourns-the-loss-of-armando-betancourt.aspx?fbclid=IwAR3FB8euKoXDgFcdIcE4U6h583qFJ1cK5ZuQWEtAXgGZKuhWwTo-fnx1qHM

Box Score today's 2nd game that pitted Noah Clowney (Clippers) against the Hawks (Banks, Iwuchukwu and Reneau)

247Sports - Class of 2023 prospects Sam Orme and Joey Hart had a strong spring and summer, playing travel basketball with the Grand Park Premier program. Indiana is one of the high-major schools paying close attention to the duo, and Orme and Hart now are scheduled to make an unofficial visit to IU.

Box score from one of the Top 100 games. IU offeree Ernest Udeh with a double double playing on the Lakers team. We've taken a pretty hard look at Isaiah Collier (76ers) but have not extended an offer. Haven't seen any details but Noah Clowney was cited as a top performer in one of today's earlier games. The format at this camp is skills development in the morning and then games in the afternoon.

We have an assistant coach at the Top 100 Camp watching Favour Aire's team against a team that includes Kaleb Banks, Vince Iwuchukwu and Malik Renau. Also on this latter team is Adem Bona a center whom we have previously watched.

What a Thanksgiving this will be. Indiana Women's Basketball has announced it will take part in the Baha Mar Pink Flamingo Championship in Nassau, Bahamas at the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar Hyatt resort on November 25th and 27th. It will play two contests against the reigning national champion Stanford and Miami (FL). https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2021/7/28/womens-basketball-hoosiers-to-face-national-champion-stanford-miami-fl-at-baha-mar-pink-flamingo-championship.aspx https://iuhoosiers.com/documents/2021/7/28/Full_Release.pdf

From the reports I've seen, the only option to watch the games is to be there in person. No TV, no streaming, no nothing.

This is going to be a really good test for our team. BC Mega is not going to be a pushover. • Shooting guard Nikola Jovic is a projected lottery pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. He is 6-10, just turned 18 and averaged 15.8 points last season. • Point guard Dayshon "Scoochie" Smith played at Dayton from 2013-17 and averaged 13.8 points as a senior and had 498 career assists. https://indiana.rivals.com/news/game-times-announced-for-iu-bahamas-trip?fbclid=IwAR2w1cbVaoKxeT8id1GDnQ2mEk2ieLgd_nA8GcooDCdUUkgtx9mc0fubFIg

You've got both my friend.

Tweet from his high school -- Good luck to our guy Noah Clowney at the NBPA Top 100 camp this week! Noah was one of only 60 players around the country selected for this elite camp.

Having watched him play several games last winter, he reminds me of the hulks PUke likes to recruit.

Pretty much as expected. Austin Render @AustinRender Personal News Tweet: I am thrilled and honored to be the next play-by-play voice of @IndianaWBB starting this upcoming season. There are too many people to thank in 280 characters, but I am so excited to get this season started!

Final numbers for the IU targets that participated in the EYBL July events. Really disappointing that Adidas and UAA couldn't provide the same kind of detail having done so in past years.
