This is correct. The Garland's lived in Gary until 2012 when they moved to Brentwood. The kid is a hoosier.

I'm assuming that Archie is going to be following the Adidas circuit because he said he would be at every one of Romeo's games this summer. This will also allow him to be at all of Phinisee's as well. I think next week however both UA and Nike are in Indiana at Fishers and Westfield so I'm sure most of the staff will be moving between the 2 spots. That will be a good chance for Archie to check out Garland, Brooks, Watford and others.

I would assume.

True but if you go to a D1, D2, D3, or NAIA you have to be 3 years removed which is what I was trying to get at with the comparison to basketball.

It's not so much that they have to stay in school but are 3 years removed from high school. In football you can't go to the NFL until you are 3 years removed and in baseball if you aren't drafted or don't sign out of high school then you have to be 3 years removed from high school before you can be drafted again. I think basketball could implement a rule similar to baseball that could be very beneficial. So I would say the best case would be if a kid is guaranteed to go in the 1st. round they should be allowed to be drafted out of high school. If not then they should be 3 years removed from high school before they can be drafted. The reason I said 3 years instead of 2 was so that basketball would have the same requirements as baseball and football.

Maybe unless TH wants to spend a weekend in L.A. on behalf of the agency flying him out there.

I'm guessing CAM will wait and see what is decided upon by JBJ, TB, and ROJO. If they decide to return then CAM will have a sit down with the 2 guys he feels will be the most likely to see little playing time and he will pull their scholarship. If we want to be a contender things like this happen from time to time. Just ask K at Duke. Also I'm sure CAM has been using these workouts to evaluate who will play and who will not. Just my 2 cents.

Poole is a sniper I wouldn't be saying that.

I know it's not the most reliable source but he also has an article up on his website.

Austin went to Southside because he liked to coach entering his Freshman year aka he told him he would start and his dad was made an assistant as well. I watched a few games and South had like 10 assistant coaches on the varsity bench and only like 8 or 9 players dressed for the games.

So my question is why did Austin go to South Side in the first place? None of you have to answer because I know for a fact what the answer is. Also I hope Archie doesn't go down this road. Austin is a good kid but his parents will probably want him to transfer if he isn't the PG his freshman year.

No. Elston will remain in the same position he had last year as director of player development. Comar is the director of basketball operations.

So right now we have Durham and Smith coming in and OG is gone for sure and it's looking like JBJ will be gone like Troy was last year.

Exactly. I wouldn't mind seeing Musa Jallow added in with those 3 as well.

Nope I'd rather have Garland or Phinisee or both.

I found this in Ed Schilling's UCLA bio and thought that it could definitely be beneficial in recruiting Romeo and other high profile adidas kids. "Since 2007, Schilling has served as head coach for Adidas Nations, coaching and training the Adidas High School All-American Team in national and international competition".

Sorry about that then. I just remembered Dakich talking about how Kyle learned from the best because Ed didn't get caught. So that's were that came from fwiw.

I'm assuming it was Schilling and Alford because they are the only 2 mid west guys on the staff.

My thoughts exactly. Something tells me she probably wants to be closer to home as well being from Indy.

Schiling did the same thing as Kyle he just married his girl once she graduated. That being said I do think he is a good coach that increases our chances with Romeo.

I think Cujo would be one heck of a sixth man as well. Comes off the bench and lights it up.

Elston is already on staff and I'm starting to doubt we get another IU guy unless Archie has offered a pay raise and an associate head coach title to either Lewis or Fife and they are trying to decide whether or not to accept the offer. Truthfully I think Archie wanted Groce and now he is trying to find the best fit possible in his opinion to fill out the staff.

I think Gelon has to be the odd man out.

Gelon wasn't in the guard workout video from today fwiw.

He is meeting with Smith on Saturday and Moore on Sunday.
