go iu bb

It wasn't clear from the tweet whether IU was actually in contact with him or if it was speculation that IU might get involved since they missed on Fland. To me it seemed more of the latter.

I thought the same :)

They're on a roll.

See @str8baller's post above. 12-15 3's per game is not very many and would be the same or less than was shot by last year's team. Or do you mean 12-15 3's made per game?

So he's either a dead eye shooter (best ever evaluated by one person) or just a serviceable shooter who is just good enough to keep defenders honest. That's quite a bit of disagreement on his shooting prowess. The skeptic in me says the latter is probably closer to the truth since the former comes off as hyperbolic, especially when considering the size disadvantage he'll have at the college level. Of course, Yogi turned into a very good shooter so I may be wrong.

B1G domination!

Mgbako just seems a bit too pumped.

Moral victory against the #10 team in the nation Get this guy an extension!

IU is so bad that even struggling but winning against them is almost as bad as a loss. PSU will be dropping out of the top 10.

He's smaller than Woodson seems to go for. Unless he's lightning quick, I'd be surprised if IU goes after him instead of waiting for the spring and looking for a PG among the portal and decommits.

I thought exhibition games against other D1 schools had to be secret scrimmages without the public or media and certainly not on TV.

As well as 6+ years ago with different coaching staffs.

He died in a car accident. https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/10/27/23935267/jamarcus-ellis-westinghouse-basketball-chicago-dead

From what I can find, it looks like a car accident. I won't link the site I saw because it won't let me read without allowing notifications on my phone so it's pretty scummy.

Not a huge drop off from TJD to Ware at the 5? At this point, I can't agree with that. Ware compared favorably to TJD as far as rim protection, but other than that TJD was much better than anything Ware has shown. There's a reason TJD was a serious content for POY, or would've been if the voters hadn't already made up their minds by the end of December that it was Edey. At this time, the bench looks weaker than last year.

I see Syracuse and Arizona also recently offered. I wonder if he sought those offers as well.

I believe that had now changed. I think they now have unlimited OV per year but can only OV any school once ever. So if he doesn't reclassify, IU wouldn't be able to get another OV from him.

On top of why it would be a bad idea as mentioned above, it wouldn't really be IU's version of Coach Prime anyways. He's not as well known or flamboyant as Sanders and Sanders played at Florida State, not Colorado. Sanders was also a head coach at Jackson State for a few years before heading to Colorado. I see no way it would be similar to the hiring of Deion Sanders. Not even a poor man's version. It would be nothing like that. It would just be a bad idea.

Eh, that's a pretty weak troll then. I've seen many recruits do that. Plus, he did that for all 3 schools. Lame things like that are why I just let other people watch the announcement and find out afterwards who is picked.

Just because he decided to commit to UK doesn't mean he was trolling IU. And if you're talking about announcing for UK on the same day as HH, it's a big event for IU but not big enough for a recruit to adjust their announcement schedule around. Fland and his family were being quiet. It was a bunch of other people saying IU was the choice.

I'm of the mind of "Screw <other_B1G_school>" so I can agree with this. Screw Maryland.

Being a smart aleck isn't illegal.

Unless something changed since I stopped following his recruitment, no one was surprised by this. They were thought to be the team to beat at that time.

Is that a reliable source? :)

Off the property is off the property. Unless there is a restraining order, that is far enough. It doesn't matter if it was the parking lot of another business or if that business was closed. That only matters if that business also wants them off of their property but they'd have to ask that themselves. How far is far enough for you? 2 businesses over? 5 businesses? 500 ft? 1000ft? 1/2 mile? 1 mile? 10 miles? And why would you or, in this case, the cops get to decide how far is far enough? It's pretty arbitrary. If they tell someone to leave the property and they step right over the property line so they're not on the property, that is complying even if they're still very close to the property. Without a court order, do cops have the authority to tell a person they have to go farther?
