Interesting that you have Hunter at 3. Have we even offered him yet? I do agree that there is a good chance he would come to IU if we offered.

Other than that, I'd like to see Jallow and Swider a little higher. I'm not sure that they actually are, but I'd really like to get those two players. I also think Garland is more likely than Langford by a few spots, but either of those guys would be a huge win for the staff with their late start.

 

I feel like Hunter and Damezi Anderson have both had really good summers, that both are on the rise, and that both will have a serious interest in IU if the IU interest is mutual.

A name not on the list that should be is Brandon Johns & he might be our first commit. Garland & Swider are both first priorities but both also have already visited Duke. If we don't get Garland, then Phinisee will be the next option. I just don't think we will ever offer Hunter just because we will get one of are other PG's. Anderson is on the rise and as I said Jallow is declining. Now everything might change by next month.

That's very exciting. Hopefully your track record of correct info continues

I'm not nearly as good with recruiting as I am with other stuff inside the program. Hard to tell what 18 year old kids are going to do. 

Question for you, if you'd like to answer. I noticed you popped up just recently and was wondering if that was a product of Archie becoming coach or if you've always had the inside track. Thanks for all you contribute.

I've been with the university for 17 years and have made several friends/contacts. I was able to work for the basketball program in a small way the last few years & hoping to continue that with Archie. I used to be on other boards but joined all of them during the search and found that I enjoyed this one the most. Also all of my family have worked with the athletic program in some way or another for many years. Hope that answers, if not you can send me a message & I would be happy to say more. 

Glad you're here!  I'm similar, I also spent time at all the other boards and found this to be the best. Funnier, more civilized, less hate. 

Thanks for your contributions!

Thanks for sharing the info on Johns.  Think we will steal an East Lansing kid out from under Izzo's nose?  That would be great to see!

Updated scout top 100

Romeo is 5
Garland stays at 8
Swider at 69
Carey at 70
Thompson 72
Phinisee 73
Anderson 75 I believe
Bazley 42
Hameir Wright 79 I believe
Eric Ayala 81

The ones I said I believe are in that area and Ayala and Wright may be flip flopped.

Phinisee is visiting campus soon so this is good timing. Now let's get this kid signed, sealed and delivered.

Be careful posting too much or obvious details. The AD office has contacted the site in the past. We all of course appreciate any info, but would hate to see someone jeopardize something more important.

apparently IU scouting/recruiting 6'10'' big man Marcus Bingham.  247 composite 73.  247 has him rated lower right now around 124.

 

could be another name on our radar.

Little question in my mind that this interest was in part prompted by discussions with Brandon Johns and Keion Brooks (and VERY likely a convo between Coach Shilling and papa Brooks). 

Which would be a really good sign.
