    Was able to watch Archie and Ostrom interact with the Lander family at Southport earlier this season and walked away feeling great about recruitments led by Ostrom. Walked right up to the family and gave hugs to them all followed by having a lengthy conversation with Khristians younger sister. Could tell he was well received by the family but I was cautious about the recruitment. Excited that the persistence paid off for the staff! Khristian is also very active on social media so having him recruiting behind the scenes could bring huge results in the near future.

    IG Live recap:

    Three schools recruiting him hardest are the three schools he has taken an official to (IU, UL, Michigan). Indiana visit was taken to build relationship with coaches and not necessarily to win him over with campus/facilities as he has been there many times over the years. Talks to coaches about twice a week. Leal and Galloway are on him often about teaming up. Mentioned he is around a lot of people who would like to see him at IU but doesn’t feel the pressure. The Louisville visit was a way to get comfortable with players and coaches. Enjoyed their version of midnight madness and was impressed with Donovan Mitchell being there. Talks to coaches about same as IU and talks to new recruit Jay Scrubb. Played in an open gym with current and future players. Talked about how Michigan visit was cold and rainy but liked the Big House. Just beginning to build a relationship with new staff but grew up liking them so doesn’t need to be won over by the programs history. Would like a Duke offer but that is the only blue blood he wants to begin recruiting him. Don’t remember him mentioning a commitment timetable.
     

    Hopefully covered it all and can give everyone a good idea of where he is at.

    #9 for '21 tonight. 

    @PBRIndiana: 1st #TeamIndiana | #PBRFutureGames player off the board. SS Evan Goforth (Floyd Central HS) commits to #Indiana. 

    Perfect Game

    Prep Baseball Report

    Will go ahead and comment on this one since he was a teammate of mine last year... very smooth in the infield and the bat continues to progress as he puts on weight. Plays for a real good travel team out of Indy and clearly had a great summer but has yet to see time at the varsity level at FC (Not going to get into much detail but this is a reflection of egos more so than ability). Great student, hard worker. Someone I think people should be excited to have in the program.

    Really nice interaction today between Trey and Khristian Lander on Instagram Live. Clearly have a good relationship but were always cautious to talk about the other’s recruitment. Interesting comments were made about IU’s recruitment of Dawson Garcia from Trey. Seems like he has become a huge priority for the staff and Galloway mentioned he has been on him hard. Sounds like a visit is very possible. Always enjoy watching recruits IG Live streams as it’s usually very telling of how the recruit is feeling. Anyway figured I’d share for those who didn’t catch it.

    Just got around to watching the final strikeout and wanted to say how awesome it was that Gabe Bierman was on the mound for it. It’s been a tough past three days for him as his father passed away on Thursday and once I heard the news figured he would sit out this weekend and head back home to Jeff to be with family. Coming from a rival high school and having faced him for three years, it was always so hard to root against him (luckily I don’t have to anymore). I had a ton of respect for him before this weekend but after playing a few days after such a tragic event, that respect has increased tremendously. Great weekend by our Hoosiers and look forward to a postseason run.

    BTW I appreciate all of the in-game updates from each of you! It makes it so easy to get caught up when I’m unable to catch it live. Thanks again guys

    A classmate of mine actually played with Matthew at the Adidas AA camp this summer and mentioned to me a few weeks back how often he talked about Indiana and how highly he spoke of IU. Clearly there is a long way to go in this recruitment but I figured it was a good time to pass this on. Always nice to hear a player of his caliber have positive things to say about the program.

    Matt Denison - 
    Floyd Central senior Cobie Barnes has cut his list to five school -- Belmont, Fort Wayne, Indiana State, Lehigh and Miami (Ohio) -- and will make a decision in two weeks:

    I have to admit it’s pretty nice hearing some of you guys mention Cobie who has been one of my closest friends for years. If I had to guess I would say ISU but he doesn’t talk about it a whole lot so there’s a good chance I could be wrong. Anyway, I just found it cool that someone I personally know would be included in this thread. Appreciate you guys covering the local recruitments even if Indiana isn’t involved

    BREAKING: I’m hearing from sources that @IndianaBase head coach Chris Lemonis will be the next head coach at @HailStateBB, and that top #HailState assistant Jake Gautreau will stay on staff. If that doesn’t change, I really like that duo.

    Some of you may have read this on one of the paid boards, but I heard it first hand a few weeks back.  One of my relatives is an eye doctor and a well connected IU Alum.  He is good buddies with Laskowski.  Anyway, according to Las (and to one of the paid sites separately), Romeo's girl transferred to IU from Cincinnati at semester.  I found this interesting; could be something, could not be something, but I've read and heard it from some credible folks. Welcome to speculation city.

    Although I’ve heard the same rumors, she’s still a member of NKU volleyball team so I’m not sure how valid this rumor is. I could be wrong and he may have a new girl we don’t know about but unless that’s the case I don’t think she has transferred anywhere.

    Poster on another board who was there said he was a good sport about it. People were pointing at him while they were chanting IU and he waved and looked like he was having fun. Taking pictures of how big the crowd was

    Mature way to handle it. Glad to see IU fans starting to make some noise down here in Floyd County. We’ve been in a way forced to take a back seat to the Louisville and Kentucky fan base. Hopefully that can change over the next few years.

    In its season opener, Castle defeated Boonville 77-60.  Alex Hemenway, a 6'4" junior,  was scoreless in the 1st Q; scored 8 in the 2nd and then poured in 21 in the second half.  
    In its second game of the season, Castle was defeated by Floyd Central 66-64.  Hemenway with 17 pts. before he fouled out late in the game.
    He has the following D-1 offers:  Nebraska (Michael Lewis anyone?), Butler, Belmont, Clemson, Creighton, Evansville, IUPUI and Valparaiso.

    Nebraska, Butler, Belmont, and Clemson were all in attendance against Cobie Barnes and Floyd Central.
