HoosierAloha Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 6 schollies to play with. In a perfect world that's 2 one and dones and 3 others. Leave a spot open. Would be perfect for class balance.As I say, in a perfect world. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBannersI'd go for a OAD (Romeo) and a two and done (Garland) to go along with three 4 year players. One of those players being a big that is willing to develop behind Morgan and Davis. Kepner 1 Quote
WayneFleekHoosier Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Something apparently didn't 'click' because he left Bloomington without an offer.247 ranked him retroactively around 124 if I recall correctly. Concerns about his athleticism matching the college game here in the states. I'm glad we didn't reach. Didn't seem like a position of highest need also. As for Carter, I would have liked to have him but I'm also thinking we can find more skilled players in 2018. Seems like Justin Smith and Carter fit the same niche as players.

Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk Moretti was intriguing to me, but I guess we didn't end up offering. I'm wondering where he came up with his list, Indiana, Uconn, Utah and Texas Tech? It was like we never heard of him and then, boom, he's here visiting 4 schools and makes a choice, all withing about 10 days to 2 weeks. Quote

I think that is just the way the process is with a lot of the overseas kids. There is a lot of scouting and conversations/recruiting that we don't hear about until they are here. Same thing happened with Dante Exum. He wasn't talked about until his visit was announced Quote

Love this new approach from Archie and staff. It's refreshing. Crean would have been foaming at the mouth to throw this kid an offer. GloryDays, Class of '66 Old Fart, Stuhoo and 9 others 12 Quote

I can't LIKE this enough!!!!!!Keep treating those schollies like Gold Archie, and players will take notice.

TheWatShot Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Didn't Crean once offer a kid without ever even seeing him play? Somebody on his staff recommended the kid and Crean pounced. He later retracted the offer when the kid wasn't generating any interest from other high majors. I firmly believe that someday, decades from now, when historians are analyzing IU basketball, their greatest question will be "how did Crean make it 9 years?"

He actually committed and we backed off shortly afterwards. Seems like he had a less than stellar career at UNC-Greensboro WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote
