The interest on Watfords part has picked up in wake of what has happened to Alabama and LSU. I also think Mike Miller possibly going to UNLV is playing a part as well. This isn’t a dead recruitment anymore according to multiple message board insiders and peegs. Also it sounds like Watford and TJD have been talking a lot at the MCDAA events this week.

I definitely feel like there are some things going on behind the scenes that just haven’t been made public yet because our season is still going on. Also Brunk still hasn’t announced he’s transferring even though there is a lot of smoke with that one. There could possibly be another transfer that the staff has locked up that hasn’t came out yet. Time will tell I guess. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Sounds like Avery Johnson and Alabama are going to be parting ways within the next day or two. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I don’t think that anyone has said IU should recruit Laravia. People have just mentioned he played well at Lawrence Central and just recommitted from his school. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Here are some highlights of Jake Laravia from this year. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Anderson was the higher rated recruit and the better shooter. Henry was the better athlete and defender. IU offered Anderson early then they offered Henry near the end of his AAU season after his stock went up. Then like two days after they offered Henry Anderson and Hunter both committed on the same day. The staff told Henry his scholarship was still valid but he decided on MSU. Quit with the nonsense that they took one over the other because that wasn’t the case. Henry was about ready to commit until those two committed. I also think Hunter was the one that caused Hunter to rethink committing to IU because their skills sets overlap more than his and Anderson’s do. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

All I’m saying about Brooks is that he struggled last year against Romeo and this year against Galloway. Is he talented? Yes but I don’t see a one and done and something about him always rubbed me the wrong way and I’m not sure why. IU will be fine as long as Hunter is healthy which is a big if at this point.

So just some thoughts on the transfer rumors. Desmond Bane is a guy I could see wanting to transfer closer to home for a few reasons. He is from Richmond. He lived with his grandparents and I’m not sure how much they’ve gotten to watch him play at TCU. He also seems to have peaked with what he can do at TCU in that system because Dixon seems to let certain guys have to much freedom. Something else I could see is anyone that IU has recruited in the past that went to LSU or Georgia Tech since guys could be looking to transfer and avoid any postseason bands that could be coming for those programs.

Exactly! Dakich says it on his show all the time something Brad Stevens said once and that was “who ranks the rankers?” It’s a good question because those guys are wrong a lot. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

If IU and Syracuse can’t beat out UMass there is a problem. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Or he’s their to scout out potential draft picks. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Rivals: 4* #72 247: 4* #105 ESPN: 4* #73 This what he is ranked by these three sites. He is also staying in the 2019 instead of moving to 2020 like he had the option of doing. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Well he’s a top 100 kid. Jake and Moore weren’t although I think Moore was close late because the tankers fell in love with his upside. So yeah I think he would see some time fairly early on. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

He isn’t a good ball handler. He doesn’t play hard. He only shoots 3’s although he’s really good at that. He isn’t a good passer. He’s basically a 6’1 two guard that plays like a 6’5 two guard that plays because he can shoot. He’s not anywhere close to being a point guard imo. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I’m not a fan of Blackmon at all after watching him in person last night. Lander I’m all in on. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Not accurate. I know I do as I’m sure there are others that like to keep up with Indiana kids even if they are playing out of state. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I like this. IU could use a legitimate shot blocker going forward. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

IU was in to see Tre Mitchell today. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

They've been tweeting or putting stuff Instagram like that for a couple months. That's nothing new.

Yeah Rabby messed up on that one and has tried to make sure he doesn't do that again with every other recruit that IU goes after.

I actually don’t think Keion has made a final decision. I think all these different rumors are coming from people in his camp that keep saying that he’s going somewhere because that is where they want him to go but it’s not necessarily the decision that he has made.

If they could get Brooks, Beverly, and Quinones to visit that would be incredible.
