HoosierTrav Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Lol wtf. I wasn't around boards or anything at that point so this is the first time I've heard that story. Classic. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBannersIt's 100% accurate. Kyrie was all but ours. Also heard his father asked whether said coach would choose Indiana or Duke, if the decision were his, and he said Duke. Quote

I'm so confused/captivated by this story lol. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Guy and Leaf - did we recruit Guy very hard or was he basically never coming to IU regardless? As for Leaf, I never felt we ever had a realistic chance at him. Just another throw a scholly into the wind IMO. bnkepner 1 Quote

WayneFleekHoosier Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Trey Lyles decommitted when I was on summer vacation and it pissed me off. Lol. Ruined half of my day until I went back to the beach. Who am I kidding. It ruined my summer. Lol. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
WayneFleekHoosier Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 TJ Leaf would have been a great get. We needed a guy or 2 like that. Guy was like McIntosh. We didn't really recruit him then he blew up and we were late to the party. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners bnkepner 1 Quote
HoosierTrav Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 How about a couple of current fellas? Kyle Guy (Virginia) TJ Leaf (UCLA) Kyle Guy is killing it at UVA right now. Mr Basketball in Indiana. TJ Leaf went to HS in California, but he's dad was from Indy and his mom from Evansville. Oh yeah, and I think he was mentioned, but Kris Wilkes heading out west to UCLA next year, too. I cry myself to sleep at night over losing Guy. He's special and going to be a legend at Virginia. Did anyone watch him play both ends last night? From what I watched, it looked like he was the best player on the court. Really gifted scorer and passer but I didn't know he could that level of defense. Did anyone catch his post game interview? They asked him specifically about his defense and he said "Coach Bennett has us playing defense at least 75% of practice." That may not be an exact quote but nonetheless... I thought this board would have been blowing up over that comment. Quote

It's tough to call them "misses". Quote

That's a miss.Bluiett- I think right pitch and right coach could have convinced him. Maybe not though. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners bnkepner 1 Quote
barrettballer Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 I think we forgot about Malachi Richardson. The kid seemed like an IU lean for a little while if my memory serves me right. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
