I'm not kidding. The competition on that AAU circuit is not nearly as good as the Nike or Adidas. Whenever he has played in front of IU coaches he has not played well this summer. I hope I'm wrong because I think he could be a good 4 year player but he has fallen down the list of players we are contacting on a daily-weekly basis.

He needs to play well tonight to get back into IU's radar. He has not had a good summer at all.

There is a 15 million buyout that I'm pretty sure OSU wouldn't want to pay.

His dad is back on the sidelines with BNL this summer. Will be the varsity assistant there.

All freshman will be on campus by June 13.

He is also already enrolled in summer school at OSU & also his dad played there.

Marni did not work for Crean or would she have worked for Archie. She was not a basketball employee, she was an athletic department employee. Archie might have some say on who the new person is but FG will have the final decision.

Heard today he is headed to Western Kentucky. I was told his dad is worse than Ball's dad without the talent of Ball

He reached out to Ball st, Valpo, IUPUI & IPFW so I've heard. Ball st said no thanks.

If we go after someone it will be him. All of this could have been setup just to get him too. Grant has options already. So hopefully it all works out.

Thank you. This players mind was made up but he could always change it. He does love IU and might continue his studies here. But until it's announced publicly I could always be wrong. But this is the same source I got all of my info about the assistants and Strength coach so have no reason not to believe it. If it's not announced by this time next week then I will say I'm wrong.

One of those three might the guy that is leaving.

I think we will have another roster spot opening up soon. Not a big deal but will hopefully hear something soon.

Mark Cuban says it's better to go undrafted then to get drafted in the 2nd round. Undrafted players can get guaranteed contracts, 2nd round draft picks I guess can't? But I thought Lance Stephenson got one from Larry Bird a few years ago. Maybe it's the choice of the owner-GM.

As I said he would have to take a huge summer class load to graduate before fall semester.

Also note that Luke went to Crean & told him about it. Crean told him he needed to just suck it up & get over it.

Yes you are correct. He just seems to fly under the radar all the time but I do know for sure there was talk towards the end of the season about Jones leaving & I noticed we are recruiting a lot of two guards.

I think JBJ really likes Archie & so does his family. There have been rumors of him staying & maybe his brother Veejay walking on. It's odd that Curtis Jones was not mentioned at all today.

Also Archie has a plan for recruiting unlike Crean who just threw a net of offers out there without a plan of how to attack recruiting.

Coach Miller had a great meeting with several high school coaches yesterday. I know he was at WC, LN, Southport and a few others.

If Derrick Cross is kept on the next staff at North and he should be then Musa will be at North.

So I'm guessing Phinisee is #1 point guard choice or maybe #2 behind Garland. Hunter would be 3rd? I guess whichever one we land we get a good one.

Rojo would have to do a lot of work this summer to be a grad transfer. When I say a lot of work, it means more summer classes than anyone I've ever seen take in one summer.

I would be real surprised if someone from the current team excluding JBJ and TB leave. JMO

Sometimes I like to give others credit instead of breaking all the news myself :-)
