This has similar feel to when Holtmann started re-offering Indiana kids once he took over at OSU. It's new and fresh, but the dust will settle.

It is. I've noticed it's mostly the old Scout guys who show up as VIP. But, you can look at the history and figure out who the pick usually is.

I'm not sure if there is any new intel out there to justify switching a CB pick from Indiana to MSU, but looks like that happened yesterday. Just passing along...

https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/romeo-langford-goes-in-depth-on-recruiting-at-mcdonald-s-all-american Paraphrasing on what stands out... Indiana: Coach Miller. Coach Schilling and the skill development guys he had at UCLA. Vanderbilt: Drewfus played in the league and runs a pro system. Kansas: History with big guards

This is per Paul Biancardi’s appearance on Dakich’s radio show this afternoon

He's only spent two years in college, so it looks like he'd have to sit. Season Averages SEASON TEAM MIN FGM-FGA FG% 3PM-3PA 3P% FTM-FTA FT% REB AST BLK STL PF TO PTS 2017-18 MCNS 30.0 5.4-12.9 .421 2.3-6.0 .374 1.8-2.3 .803 4.3 1.0 0.1 0.5 2.4 2.4 15.0 2016-17 MCNS 24.5 4.2-9.3 .454 1.7-4.5 .385 1.7-2.3 .758 2.8 1.1 0.0 0.4 1.9 2.2 11.9

I can't remember the exact progression, but wasn't it something like: ranked in the 80s, jumped to ~50, and now top 25? There was definitely a steady climb after the summer sessions, iirc.

Goes back to my post above... Does Travis Steele know something about Chris Mack's future? I think the carousel should get going this week

https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/twitter-tuesday-ramey-s-future-fixing-pitt-iu-s-top-targets Q: Can you give the percentages on how realistic a Keion Brooks and Trayce Jackson-Davis class currently looks for IU? #TwitterTuesday A: The top state of Indiana junior prospects, Keion Brooks and Trayce Jackson-Davis, remain priority recruits for the first-year staff in Bloomington. Archie Miller has done a phenomenal job of making the Hoosiers a favorite for each as the chances of landing both sits around 60 percent. It would be a major, major shock if Indiana does not land at least one of the two. Practically the entire Big Ten has offered the top 50 prospects, as a slew of others outside of their Midwest locale have come calling. Brooks has been a heavily coveted name since stepping foot onto a high school playing floor. Indiana and Kentucky are the likeliest of landing spots for the 6-foot-7 forward with the Hoosiers having a slight upper hand. Jackson-Davis, the son of former NBA big man Dale Davis, has seen his stock soar in recent months. He has grown another inch and developed his skillset and athleticism to the point that he is evolving into a five-star prospect during our next ranking update. Indiana is the favorite here, too, as it may have an even better chance with the 6-foot-8 big man compared to Brooks.

https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/twitter-tuesday-ramey-s-future-fixing-pitt-iu-s-top-targets Q: With Romeo waiting until April to decide where he is attending, do you think that helps or favors KU a little more? Maybe he is waiting to see who leaves from there. A: The top-ranked senior available, Romeo Langford, is now on commitment watch. After completing his senior year of play this weekend, the five-star guard remains focused on a final three of Kansas, Vanderbilt, and Indiana. The talk has surrounded Langford waiting until April to decide, which should only help KU’s chances. Like most elite prospects that decide not to sign during the early period in November, they tend to wait until the spring to see who might be leaving and who might be staying regarding NBA decisions. Seeing that Vanderbilt and Indiana are likely to see no one leave early for the NBA Draft, Kansas is the remaining final suitor that could see early departures to the league. Kansas will lose Svi Mykhailiuk and Devonte Graham to graduation, and could also see Malik Newman and LaGerald Vick opt for the NBA. KU will enroll five-star guards Devon Dotson and Quentin Grimes, and will also see the eligibility lifted on transfer Charlie Moore. Indiana remains the program to beat with Vanderbilt not far behind, but with a decision that isn’t expected until April, the Jayhawks might just have enough in them to eke out another five-star commitment this spring.

Is Steele going to wait and see what Chris Mack does first? Or, should Steele's activity be a hint that Mack is staying at X?

Confusing timeline... “Ace guru source “I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around this, but one of the people I trust the most says Shaka to Louisville is 100% done.” I think that’s enough to make the call Shaka will be next head coach of the Louisville Cardinals” then, this one like 5 min later: “Not happening Mack to Louisville has been done for weeks, delay is only to give this Xavier team a shot to go deep and finish the season on a high note for everyone”

@CoachingChanges is reporting Shaka to Louisville. If you check their timeline, they’ve been days ahead on some of the other coaching announcements.

This game is being televised on WHMB/TV40. I have Spectrum and its channel 1022. Gillis would be a good Option B or C if we strike out on top targets. New Castle’s PG looks like he’ll be a good mid-major guard. I’m not sure what kind of interest he’s drawing, but 20+ ppg and has a great stroke.

Right. I don't get the "either/or" comments around the other boards and Twitterverse.

2007-08 season... my roommate, brother and I just left the game against UConn and were trying to make it back to our apt in the Villas. I’m guessing it took 30 minutes from the time the final buzzer until we got back and into the car to go get beer. We’re driving out the back entrance of the Villas towards like 19th/Washington and we pass Jamarcus Ellis walking back there with a 18 pack of Bud Light. It was one of the most bizarre things I had seen considering Jamarcus beat us to the liquor store and back and he had just played a game haha.

I agree. His recruiting has kept him around, but got to think his seat is getting warm

I hope they keep him forever

Painter was watching Gillis this morning.

https://twitter.com/jeffborzello/status/971752470274744321 Jordan Brand rosters announced. No Romeo. Bozich responds in tweet mentioning that it looks like mostly Nike EYBL guys.

Nice. I heard they destroyed Northeastern. I'm a fellow TEC'er myself...

No way he's credentialed, right?

I believe this is a free article, but here are some highlights. Sounds like this one will be a Big Ten battle + Mizzou "Right now, Iowa is probably the school he’s most familiar with, but that won’t stop other schools from trying to pry him away from the Hawkeyes." https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/four-star-d-j-carton-recaps-recent-visits Indiana: “It was fun visiting there. I really enjoyed it. The environment was something I had never seen before. For a team that wasn’t having the most successful year, they had a great crowd for the game against Purdue and fought hard. I had a really good time talking to the coaches and meeting the team.”

Not sure if this has been posted, but Peegs/Rabjohns had a short podcast with Jared Jeffries in NYC. Here's a couple paraphrased highlights: Gives pitch to Romeo about being a legend in Indiana and at IU Gives pitch to why in-state stars shouldn't go anywhere but IU Has a couple of funny Mike Davis stories Mentions something like... "nobody ever at Indiana got paid" https://scout.com/college/indiana/Article/The-Upland-Brewing-Co-Peegs-Podcast-Jared-Jeffries-in-NYC-115649666
