(2018) PF Jake Forrester to IU

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,477]

Watched some videos on him and I'm not impressed. I know you can't judge everything based off of highlight videos, but they usually show you what a player is capable of. One thing I did like was that he seems to have a good nose for the ball. Other than that, didn't see a lot I liked.

He's a lesser Juwan Morgan. Much lesser at this point. Like I said before, I think his ceiling is around JM now. Not overly athletic. Doesn't do anything particularly great.

Like you say, seems to have good fundamentals and tries to rebound his position.

Welp. Paywall Rabjohns story says he's planning 3 officials in September.

I'm assuming IU is one.

Booooo.

Laszewski or bust besides Moses when it comes to bigs and the offers we have out. I LOVE Laszewski's game and think he will be top 75 by the time the season is over.

Final 8:

IU, Seton Hall, Norte Dame, Pitt, Georgia Tech, Xavier, Va Tech, VCU. 

I know his stat lines and video scream just a guy, but that is an unassailably solid list of offers.

In my day we had a Laskowski, I think a Laszewski would be nice for you youngins.

Solid offers but not bluebloods. We need to do better imo.

Im worried here, but I imagine the staff has a plan. Considering our #s, I still don't see this being our best move.

We have a very good recruiting staff. I will trust what they are doing until they show me otherwise.

Brian Snow thinks there's a good chance Forrester commits on his visit.

Any chance this kid is told he can commit if Player X does not?

Not the general vibe I'm getting from the combination of what Chris007 and Peegs, Rabjohns, and Snow have been saying. I think Archie is high enough on Forrester's potential to take him right now, no contingencies.

That is the impression I'm under also. As I have said the staff really likes him. Also as uspshoosier said they think he could be a all conference player by his senior year.
