Haralson got invited to USA camp during the same time. He was going to be there but now he can’t. He will be at the North Carolina game

Not sure if he actually got an offer from the staff yet

one and done is about to go away

Probably not. Despite reports saying his recruitment is open I wouldn’t bet against the team that has Adams on their staff in some capacity. Rumor is that school could be Cincy when it’s all said and done

A lot of college staffs feel the same way. Some are focusing more on the portal then recruiting straight out of high school it’s definitely changed the way coaches recruit now

If Queen reclasses to 23 that will get him back into his original class.

A&M paid App St 1.5 million to come and beat them.

I think at this point in queens recruitment it is more likely he reclasses then doesn’t reclass regardless of the school he goes to. Loud whispers all summer about his reclass

Not missing your point at all just disagreeing with it. You worry about what other people think about where IU stands in the college basketball landscape and thinks if effects recruiting. I just feel like it’s irrelevant what others think about where IU stands. IU has had 7 straight years of being under .500 in conference and still has probably had the most success in recruiting 5 stars to their program in the B1G. Most of them probably didn’t even know where IU finished the year before they got there and if they did they probably think they will be the reason it can change. Winning cures all though and makes discussions like this minimal

It will be interesting to see how this Queen recruitment shakes out. 2 Monteverde kids already on the team and Queen visiting at the same time as another new Monteverde teammate for his official visit as well

Seen plenty of talking heads and recruits still refer to IU as a blue blood even with their lack of success of the last couple decades. IUs on court results still sucked despite people viewing them as a blue blood. I could care less what other fan bases think about where IU stands. Most Recruits could care less where fan bases view teams they are interested in. More worried about Madden and Fortnite then they are if someone views the school they are interested as a blue blood or not.

You are correct it would be bad optics for the IU fans that worry more about what the outside world think about how IU is viewed in the college basketball world but honesty other then those fans the college basketball world isn’t going to see it has bad optics for IU missing out on potentially 3 out of state recruits to the home team. Not one college basketball reporter that reported Kaiser picking Maryland brought up the fact that the IU staff was in trouble because they didn’t land him from what I saw. The blue blood thing is what it is and isn’t going to change. Sometimes I think some IU fans are more worried about what other fan bases think about where IU stands in the landscape of college basketball then they are watching the games. It’s interesting to follow.
