Class of '66 Old Fart

Obviously I'm oblivious so never take investment advice from me.

As a junior, he averaged 22.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.0 steals per game. Bates was a 44 percent three-point shooter who shot 58 percent from the floor overall and 88 percent from the free-throw line in 2019-20. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/class-of-2021-guard-tamar-bates-commits-to-indiana/ Yasir Rosemond @Coach_Ya It’s a GREAT day to be a Hoosier

Tamar Bates @tbates_11 Being number 2 is just being the first to lose. This one for you Hoosier Nation let’s rock.

Season recap. https://www.insidethehall.com/2021/04/19/thats-a-wrap-anthony-leal/?fbclid=IwAR1g2PVnlfDBrSvZ4wTykKg4CoKBn_W9OeL0EYUGv6cfU0nZjVVuBJqsnIw

Typically, we don't start a specific recruit thread until a formal offer has been extended. Certainly nothing that's carved in stone just been the SOP in the past.

I know IU has been in contact, but I've not seen anything to indicate he's received an actual offer.

Matt Reynolds - Director of Prep Hoops Circuit - Jalen Washington cleaned up everything inside for @nikemeanstreets this weekend. Not to mention he shot it well out of pick and pop. Washington has a bright future at the High Major level. Team went 6-0 on the weekend.

No idea to what extend CMW will have in Will Lovings-Watts but he teamed up with Reggie Bass (Illinois commit) on Team Teague this past weekend and apparently played quite well. Coincidentally, The Daily Hoosier posted a brief story on him earlier today that includes a 4:00 vid clip. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/watch-class-of-2022-in-state-guard-will-lovings-watts-junior-season-highlights/?fbclid=IwAR24UqXuWF-aimzAKki_G8thffanIhOzgEysXn7Ongg0Uu3XDfO2eW-l_E0 # Gms PPG FG% 3FG% FT% RBG Asst TO Stls Blk 20-21 HS 22 16.3 58% 48% 6.3 19-20 HS 16 13.0 49% 29% 71% 7.3 1.4 1.2 1.1 0.4 18-19 HS 25 8.4 61% 13% 66% 5.2 1.0 1.3 0.7 1.0

Still unknown how many offers extended by the previous staff will be re-affirmed. Matt Reynolds - Director of the Prep Hoops Circuit - AJ Casey 2022 @MeanstreetsEYB standout lived up to the hype. He can score at all three levels, impacts defense and plays with heart. Five star no doubt. Jalen Washington is Casey's teammate on Meanstreets and the team went 6-0 on the weekend.

Gunn's Indy Heat AAU team went 6-0 this weekend. No player stats but here's a clip his father posted. He's #21.

Kansas offered.

“Ohio State, West Virginia, Indiana, Cincinnati, Dayton and NC State have really been showing a lot of love lately,” Phillips said. https://indiana.rivals.com/news/shawn-phillips-hoping-for-an-informative-summer?fbclid=IwAR2lR3SQmTuIH7t6ZnhmOtYutA0MSi3wtP_X6_GKZEkv9U72K7ePti78HWs

Just commented in the '22 Recruiting thread how difficult it is to get info from the non-shoe company sponsored AAU events except for an occasional tweet and voila, one pops up. Scott Burgess - Senior Scouting Director for PrepHoopsIL -- Best I have seen Jalen Washington since pre injury today. Five star power forward dropping wet 15 foot jumpers one after another, hook shots, quick post moves.

An updated list of IU prospects from The Daily Hoosier. I've posted it in the '22 recruiting thread, but the list also includes '23 prospects as well as a couple of '24s. Don't be misled by the wording in the URL. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/first-look-indianas-class-of-2020-and-2021-prospects/ Also take the opportunity to point out that AAU events are happening across the country and many of our offerees are participating. Unfortunately, in these smaller events, scores are the only thing that usually get posted except for an occasional tweet about a players performance. Once the shoe company events commence, we should start seeing individual player stats. Currently UAA is the only one that's published a calendar and its first event won't be held until the last weekend in May but it's in Westfield and perhaps by that time, spectators will be allowed.

Crean and Georgia offered Jalen Hooks today.

Mike Schumann of TheDailyHoosier - Also watched 2022 PG Braden Smith (Westfield, Ind.) today at PAC. Has the great vision and shooting ability he's known for, but he has made clear strides with his speed, athleticism and strength, and he is a legit 6-foot now.
