IU/Butler/Notre Dame

That’s great to hear a school of that size can have such sustained success. Especially when they still are competing with schools twice their size

Super fair evaluation ... what are your thoughts on tayson Parker over your direction

Completely correct ....id bet every dollar I had he will put on upper body mass I’m just not sure if he will get any taller

That is AMAZING . What is the max size for 2A? You definitely understand the small school dynamic then. Turn out any players that had D1 success ?

Sorry...excuse the vernacular ...not on many ...topic of the thread

Oh and furthermore...yes I root for him...but my interest is in evaluation ( and feedback from others). I’m predicting he’ll have high major impact because I’ve observed him frequently and have gotten a glimpse of his character and how hard he works. I want him at IU for these reasons.

Wow....was the school you fed into competitive ? I love the little guy success stories.

Yeah ...hope I didn’t offend anyone ...I am high on the kid but I thought this was the right place to discuss that.

Old fart put up a great link to the bsn YouTube channel. If you want some fair games to evaluate how he plays but maybe want it condensed watch missessenewa, quarters 2-4 of north western, almost all of the frankton game is good.

I’m sorry I’m newer so I don’t get the reference ?

Whoa ...this IS a Luke brown /IU forum right ? It’s weird to discuss a person who is the topic of the forum?

What is weird ?

You don’t need me to convince you ....despite my interest I’m a really realistic person ...just go watch one of his games and tell me what you think afterwards

Oh and in general ...if you can make it to new castle Friday it’s a great two game set ...new castle with the number 2 scorer in the state plays Hamilton heights with a top 25 scorer in sophomore gus etchison ....the Blackford game has the number one scorer and then delta had the best record in the state and a top 25 scorer in josh Bryan ....I’m not sure the Blackford game will be super competitive (although I’ll be cheering for it to be) but Luke will make it a show.

Don’t fall in that trap....1. He has already played on the same teams with AND in the same teams against Furst, Blackmon, and Landers multiple times. 2. Don’t forget that while the summer circuit condenses the talent and pools it together it also turns into nba all star mode where individual players try and dominate the ball to create exposure. There typically isn’t an emphasis on team sets and there typically is not a lot of attention to defense. 3. ir you want to see him try and measure up against a good team watch him play Delta Friday. 23-0 ( last undefeated team in any class ) and arguably the best team in the state in 3A. Blackford will lose by 20 but they are 8 deep with solid guys and they’ll double Luke or worse the whole game. Go see it in person and see what you think.

Very well said ...I have zero idea if he will grow physically at all. If he does he could be dangerous. The only thing I know is he desperately wants to play for IU and he will work hard the next two years to do it if possible.

Go Hoosiers !

I’m actually on board with you even though it doesn’t seem like it because I’ve advocated for switching those 4 schools you are directly referencing. The difficulty is they can’t be switched that easily. 1. Schedules are set a few years out in terms of non-conference opponents. 2. Once in contract it’s difficult to get it 3. Those 4 inferior oponentes that could be switched out for better ones were scheduled when the team was on a 1-68 streak 4. Screw snow ...he’s been low on the kid and then wants to capitalize on his attention and following after the fact to draw attention to his tournament. 5. Give them to his senior year to schedule better. 6. If your point is they habe to schedule d1 talent you are also making the point that 2A schools are generally to weak or competition to have D1 players so they only way is to schedule mostly 4A opponents. I don’t know why 2A or even 3A teams that schedule mostly 4A schools other than Marion and new castle who are essentially 4A schools anyways.

Could use some Luke brown 3’s is free throws against Wisconsin at the moment ...

Honestly ? Missessenewa who has a solid group and 1000 kids was a good win and then I was happy with 3 quarters in a frankton loss as much as any win. The next win I was proud of would be beating jay by 20ish ( 4 A school ). Once again I agree with you I would switch 3 or 4 games on the schedule but outside those it’s not totally unbalanced for a 2A sized school AND the schedule is out of the kids hands.

Wow ! Did your school compete ! That’s really impressive

I appreciate evaluations of the kids play but you couldn’t be more wrong in what you just posted. I would guess you’ve never seen him play a single time. Doubt him at your own peril he will be a stud from that class. I honestly think if you go watch him you’ll change your tune a la frankton assistant coach.

No their sagrin rating not their sos ...their sagrin rating is 158 and considers their schuedule it’s just a more fair evaluation because it accounts for the throw away schools that reflect so poorly on the sos

I I still say you are unfairly characterizing the schedule ...you ignored their sagrin and their rpi....3 or 4 of their games are horrible ...the rest are competent teams ....Anderson prep was their weakest opponent on senior night and he only took 10 shots and scored his lowest point total. I want to clarify he has had 40 points games where he could score 60 if he wanted and all he does is distribute in the last quarter. I calculated and he will need to participate in 7 post season games to make a run at it. This years he will only get one so that’s at least 3.5 per year as a junior and senior assuming he stays healthy.

Lol I can sympathize ...but Hartford is 6000 our county is 12k....you got that beat?!
