It says you can't recieve PM's

Boy do I have a story for you about the game plan for that game. I would say you wouldn't believe it but after 8 years with Crean you wouldn't be surprised.

What are you going by? eye test? Rankings? Did they play one on one?

I think this is very telling from what I know.

I have no idea about rivals or any other schools but I know for sure we pushed hard on the day that Hunter and Anderson committed to get RP to commit also. It's known that Bruiser called and tried to get him to pull the trigger. I think that we are still in contact with him yes, but I'm also pretty sure that Archie has been in contact with Duke, Dort and Devoe more often. All of this is my opinion mixed if with what I have been told.

I'm not worried about someone questioning what I know, I live this. I just liked this board the best when I started posting and trying to give everyone a different take. But once the season gets going I won't be around near as much so just trying to enjoy it now. It's all good.

Actually you would be surprised. Archie has listened to the staff a lot more than I ever saw Crean listen to his assistants. The staff member just said he thought there were better options at PG than RP in this class. But also understands that you should take a top 100 kid in the state if he wants to come here. Just don't be surprised if you see them recruiting a PG in next years class.

I don't think he would tell just any fan this but I was trying to share what I was told about him. I should probably just keep that info to direct messages or myself

I agree with you I'm not 100% sold either. I have only seen him at the IU camp but I would gladly take Devoe or Duke. I love that he is a in state kid and glad he won't be going to another big ten school just IMO not sure he contributes the next two years and I hope I'm wrong. But I do know a member of the staff who thinks the same thing because we have talked about it.

Dakich will be doing the homer broadcast. Just not sure if he will be a homer for IU or OSU

Good Question!! I know that OSU is pushing hard that he would get immediate playing time there.

Sounds like it could possibly go till the end of the month before we hear our name being called.

I'm not a huge Brian Snow fan but he put together one heck of a schedule as the director of the event.

I have not made it over for a practice yet but intend on doing so very soon. But a friend who has been to a few said that Ricky Brookins is getting a lot of carries with the 1st team. Does this sound right?

I don't understand it either. They only thing I can think of is they think he might still be growing or something like that.

End of the weekend. That's my guess.

I'm saying word today is IU will be very happy soon with his decision.

Sounds like he noticed and should have something to say very soon.

He can commit at any time he wants.

I have never seen anything like it but I really think they think he is 6'10

For some reason the staff is recruiting him to play center at 6'8. Some seem to think he is 6'10 and forget he is only 6'8. I think Devoe is the PG we want but he is a Florida lean, IMO the staff think Phinisee and Akinjo is the same.

We all need to settle down a little bit :-). I think we have to overcome some west coast connections but he seems to have a special connection to Archie. If we get him on campus than I think our chances will go up.

Totally agree I just don't want him to have great games against us.

I could see MSU getting him and him doing really well under Izzo. But I'm rooting for Xavier or UCONN to persuade him to go there

Were not in his top 5 anymore but I sure hope he goes to some place other than a big ten school.
