I think Steve spends more time in Indiana than he actually does coaching his UCLA basketball team. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

This same thing has been said over on peegs as well so this is the second time that I've heard to pay attention to the middle of October.

That is correct on Randolph and there is more on that one as well. Like the fact that he never took an SAT of ACT.

Exactly. If IU lands TJD I could see one of them seeing the writing on the wall and transferring out. If IU lands both Stewart and TJD then I could see them both leaving unless thererole changes throughout the course of the season.

I could actually see this being a real possibility but time will tell.

Hey some people still weren't sure about it a couple hours ago saying he could still commit to PU which I guess could still happen lol

I think Franklin is a lock for IU at this point. He'll be our first 2019 commit.

He’s going to end up being a very solid player at IU when it’s all said and done as long as he commits. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

This is what I've been thinking for a while and it feels like it could realistic.

I doubt if Ramsey would be intimidated by Franklin.

Who all is going to be attending Hoosier Hysteria this year? This is who I have heard but was wondering if I’ve missed any others? Brooks, TJD, and Ramsey Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Now we know the reason that Brooks transferred to LaLu. So he could convince Stewart to team up with him and TJD at IU.

Just my gut. Which my gut also said we would get Romeo the day CAM was introduced which I posted on here. I get what you're saying but I also know first hand that recruiting is very fluid thing that changes all the time. We will see come April what the class looks like for sure.

I understand your position I personally think we will end up taking 2 guards, 1 wing, and 1 big. Sorry to all the Brooks will be a 2 guard people but he is a wing and always will be a wing so with that I think we could take Franklin and still be okay but that's for CAM and company to decide.

You're right according to rivals and 247 he is 3 star. ESPN has him as a 4 star yes I know they aren't as accurate so whatever. My point is he seems more pg to me than the other guards do. Newman no, Bouknight no, Ramsey no, Harris maybe. I say he's a pg because he isn't the scorer that some of the other recruits are and he is more of a facilitator. The only reason he is listed as a combo guard imo is because he is 6'4 or 6'5.

Guys he is a 4 star recruit from Indiana. Could we get better? Maybe but then again maybe not. I personally want kids from Indiana to want to play at Indiana. There are 3 main ways to get that accomplished. 1) 4 and 5 star players from Indiana go to Indiana, 2) Indiana wins games, and 3) coaching staff has good in state relationships. If he wants to come to Indiana let him and see what happens. He is big PG with length and you can't teach that. All of this is just my opinion though.

Nico Mannion reclassified to come to IU and not Arizona or Duke like had been reported lol

I agree with all of that. I know it's been mentioned but I don't think Smith is out of the question. I know some people are against assistant's but Michael Earley has done a great job coaching the hitting at ASU plus he has a lot of Indiana connections in recruiting circles. He's also turned down a couple head coaching positions the last year or two. I agree on Maloney 100%. The guy sucks at recruiting Indiana compared to IU and Purdue and it drives me insane.

I've got an idea for who I would consider targeting for a number of reasons and that is former IU player and current ASU assistant Michael Earley.

It doesn't hurt that Stewart is close with Thomas Bryant either.

I'm not mad about this at all.

Can't sign until next spring unless he reclassified and that would not be good for IU if he did because we are out of scholarships. So he will be a spring signing with someone next spring because he wants to drag out the process.

When game number one roles around I think this is what you will see. 1) Green 2) Langford 3) McRoberts 4) Morgan 5) Thompson Bench 1) Phinisee 2) Durham 3) Hunter 4) Smith 5) Fitzner I think he will start the year playing about 10 guys depending on match ups. By the time conference play roles around CAM will be playing the top 8 or 9 out of this group. I think Anderson, Moore, Davis, and Forrester could factor in at some point depending on how they play when their chance comes.

They'd take both.
