It's almost impossible to keep track of kids in Fort Wayne.

I agree 100%

I disagree. Not all kids or families are corrupted. You just have to be selective and not miss on the kids that are clean that you do target.

I agree but I'm just referring to Hurt's case because he imo is very similar to TJ Leaf who are both very skilled but underweight and that is one of the big things that has kept TJ Leaf on the bench for the Pacers. If IU can convince him that they can help him bulk up and improve his skills as well I think that is a major selling point.

I think we might be on to something here.

I think it probably has more to do with the other school that he had shown interest in is Alabama. Alabama also just had a 5 star in Sexton that had eligibility questions because of his recruitment. Would this be along the lines of why IU backed off?

Does anyone else think that the impact that Cliff Marshall has had on Hurt's buddy Race Thompson could be impacting this at all. I mean for Hurt to increase his NBA draft stock he needs to gain weight and Marshall has definitely helped Race change his body since he got on campus.

I've had this sneaky suspicion for a while so I'm glad to hear it.

Romeo has already stated multiple times at the MCAAG that IU will be his final visit. It's unfortunate that everyone of the national media guys and Nashville media keep asking Romeo if he's going to visit Vandy again. I 100% believe this info is coming from Drew trying to make it happen and not Romeo or his family. Will he visit Vandy again? Who knows for sure but as of right now it doesn't sound like it when Romeo is doing the talking.

Taylor and Boudreaux are right at the top of my grad transfer list. Boudreaux could cause a scholarship problem in 2019 though since he does have 2 years left but here are some of his highlights.

I like this kid and Newman in 2019. Wish we would offer 1 of them already but I know that TJD and Brooks are the priorities.

Exactly. CAM already has the #3 class in the B10 according to 247 and would jump to #1 if they land Romeo.

Maybe it's his way of not laughing because he knows he isn't the best coach.

I agree but I meant that he would find a way to reaffirm the fact that IU is the best choice for Romeo.

Yes but at the end of the day they would all want their shots and minutes so they could get to the NBA. The point is there wouldn't be enough shots or minutes to go around imo.

Am I the only one that thinks CAM and the rest of the staff will find a way to blow Romeo's socks off when he comes to IU for that final visit.

I agree with this but I'm not sure Newman hires an agent. I don't think it would make sense unless his stock skyrockets which is possible but this draft class is loaded and next years might not be as deep according to the experts.

Azuibuke wouldn't make any sense imo. He is a center in a draft that I loaded with bigs. Next year he could be a guaranteed first rounder this year he would be lucky to get drafted but who knows.

You have Quickly confused with Grimes I think. Grimes is the one going to Kansas.

Next years Kansas roster with them only losing Graham and Mykhailiuk because they are seniors and nobody else is viewed as a first rounder at this point would look like this. Sr. Vick SG Jr. Azubuike C, Lighfoot F, Newman G, Cunliffe SG, Lawson G, Lawson F, So. Garrett G, Moore PG, De Sousa F Fr. Dotson PG, Grimes SG, McCormack C, Agbaji SG Someone is guaranteed to leave because they are already over signed by one. Even if Vick and Newman both left that would still be a lot of guys that would be wanting the basketball imo. I don't think that would benefit Romeo at all.

Neither is considered a first round prospect according to mock drafts that have been done by espn and nbadraft.net as of right now.

I believe Team Teague

Pierce Thomas is a stud and the Andrean kid plays on the same AAU team with Thomas.

I was thinking of Pierce Thomas at Brownsburg, Luke Brown at Blackford, and Kyle Ross at Andrean.

Those are just a few. There's a few others around the state that could still jump to Big Ten level by the time they graduate as well. This class has a chance to be absolutely loaded if they keep developing.
