Might have missed seeing it posted on here but someone just brought to my attention that Tommy Stevens is transferring from Penn St for his final year of eligibility.

I was still shocked after his senior year that schools like Ball State, Indiana St, Valpo, etc never offered him.

Thought I saw him sitting behind the bench at today's game. This is a tough one, because he isnt the highest rated player but I've seen several videos and interviews of him talking about what an honor and point of pride it would be to play for Indiana. We definitely need more players like that.

If Alford doesn't have success this year they probably have him on a super short list. They lost two starters from last years team but return everyone else and have a top 10 recruiting class coming in. He will probably get a pass this year but i don't know for how much longer

What AAU team is Jalen Blackmon playing for?

As of January 27th Kristian is now at Pima Community College in Arizona

Do we stand a chance with him at all?

Its been a few years now that they are no longer really selling the posters. The last few years they have been giving them away at the games. You can still purchase them online I think, but they do not carry them at the bookstores on campus for sale. I think it was previously mentioned it was due to avoid any problems with using players likenesses.

He is a great player. Wish he would've gone somewhere else but like it was previously mentioned, this will make the rivalry even more competitive.

Rated number 1 overall in the new class of 2019 ESPN rankings

Haven't really seen it posted here but Mike Davis' son Antoine (2018 PG) has signed to play for Kelvin Sampson at Houston. He shot 43% from distance during the EYBL

I thought the exact same thing once I saw the offer tonight. I think Henry has just been waiting on an IU offer and will most likely be out next commit. I think the staff knew he would probably be a fast commit so they waited till they had someone like Race commit to offer Henry. I could be completely wrong but thats what first went through my head after seeing the news that Archie offered Aaron Henry.

I don't see why anyone would be upset with him coming in and redshirting for one year. His one year of practicing against high level D1 talent everything, going through strength and conditioning with Cliff Marshall, etc is going to make him a way better player than if he stayed in high school for his senior year. Welcome aboard Race!

This just keeps getting more and more odd. McDermott is an average coach. Doesn't blow me away and definitely doesn't scare me as an IU fan.

I think they were going to give Matta this year. I think the last few open recruiting periods were telling for his health and a change was made.

They look like two different types of players to me. Swider looks to be more of a wing whereas all the video of Thompson shows him working off the block or in the midrange exclusively. He has a shot but doesn't seem to be the volume shooter that Swider is. They seem to be the same height but Swider seems more like a 3 and Thompson a 4. Id certainly have no problem taking them both!

Per zagsblog Carey listed his top 10 as Syracuse, Notre Dame, Kansas, Rutgers, Miami, Florida, Seton Hall, Indiana, UConn and Temple. http://www.zagsblog.com/2017/05/08/jalen-carey-top-10/

I was hard on Troy for leaving and he proved me wrong so I wish Bryant the best of luck. His shooting will be the main seller for teams. Hopefully he finds a spot like Yogi and Troy have where they really develop him and help him find his niche.

I think it has more to do with recruiting the best in the area. Ostrum has us in the door with Minnesota kids as well.

I love his education line "One day the ball is going to stop bouncing"

According to Rabjohns someone from the staff watched Trendon today today in Fort Worth. Glad to see our new staff actually showing some effort with Trendon Watford.

I think Jallow will be the first since he is so close to campus. He will also be the first recruit that Archie & staff host on campus this week. I agree that Phinisee won't be long after.

I think the potential argument for OG would be that he has shown the potential for a shot and his defense. In Troy's case, in college what you saw was what you got. He didn't shoot much and when he did it wasn't pretty. His defense lacked as well. So from the NBA perspective there wasn't much potential to grow there. Im glad he worked on his shooting and has gotten a few chances to show who he is.

He was the lead recruiter for Romeo at UCLA so he does have a relationship with him. I think Romeo's recruitment is wide open at the moment. Archie told him he is our main priority and that the ENTIRE coaching staff would be at all his AAU games this offseason. That according to the Indy Star article on Romeo this last week.
