Ooh good points. I think Georgetown would be a good matchup for both the media (two storied programs) and IU (extra big down year for Ewing). Of course, Xavier is regionally close and would be a decent story as well Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Just my opinion, but I’d be surprised if the starting 5 for opening night isn’t Rob, Al, Smith, TJD, Brunk. By the end of the year, however, I’m hoping that our starting 5 is Rob, Lander, Hunter, Smith, TJD. I think that would mean the development of lander and hunter was impressive and smith committed to playing the 4 Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Seems like Roberts is beginning to establish a decent recruiting presence in the South - could be helpful down the road

Still, I have no faith in the NCAA to do anything. Yawn Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I'd argue that our schedule last year was set up perfectly to maximize our change of getting to the tournament. We were a young, growing team and our schedule gave us many opportunities to beat very solid teams.

Lots of work in TN by the staff today. Would love to see extend our reach there Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

After the drawn out "courtship" for Landers Nolley, he is entering his name into the NBA draft process, but will still maintain his eligibility.

They return everyone too. I’m in the very small minority of liking Shaka smart, so I see them as a fringe top 35 team next year. Hopefully they don’t underperform like usual haha Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Very mature answers. Wish nothing but the best for him. Think he’d do well at a MAC school Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I’m not a fan of “neutral site” games. I love college basketball for the fans and historic venues. There’s something cool about the hostility of a rival’s gym that you can’t find in professional sports Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Excited to see we’re a real player here Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Agreed. But I like it more than him ending up at Purdue / MSU

I think we've seen the staff offer other targets to persuade specific recruits to commit sooner. I believe it happened with Damezi/Hunter, to some extent Franklin, and also Phinisee. Possibly this is the case w/ Aminu, although he has no incentive to commit early

I mean, Louisville pushed really hard for both Romeo and Lander. I don't see a reason to be pessimistic yet

Osu fans don’t seem too happy about it Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

The GCl, his high school conference, is also notorious for playing really slow-paced basketball because of the pack-line defense. Could contribute to his point production.

I think the kid is 16 right now. For all we know he could grow to 7 ft.

It’s been a slow rebuild, but I really think we’re headed in the right direction. There’s many big “ifs”, but mainly (imo) if TJD stays, 2021 might be IU’s return to national prominence (not necessarily a national championship, but final four/elite 8 run), and I think we’d be set up well for sustained success Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I think his dad is Larry Scott, the pac 12 commissioner Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yeah but he’s also very connected. Really odd timing for the tweet Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Also, kind of an interesting note. I think the walk on named Michael Shipp joined the team last year and played with Duncomb in high school. No clue if it helped with the recruitment but if so, good job by the coaching staff. Makes me wonder if the new walk on (whose dad is allegedly the PAC-12 commissioner?) could help improve our west coast ties? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I’ve watched him play several times. I can guarantee you he’ll be super fundamental coming from Moeller, the best basketball program in Ohio. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I'll play (some of it, lol)!

Almost guarantee that's Anthony Grant at Dayton. It makes no sense for over 90% of teams to schedule Dayton because it's a very hard place to play and Dayton would probably be considered a "bad loss" most years.

Is it possible DA stopped playing when he did to get a redshirt? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
