(2019) PF Matthew Hurt to Duke

[rebelhoosier848891]

Kansas is thought to be the leader but the latest FBI investigation developments has to help us against them. Top recruits like Hurt who are likely one and done would not want to go to a school for their one year in college that could end up being banned from the tournament. Suddenly-we are in this race. Race Thompson helps us here. Hurt also recently played with Trendon Watford at an all star game Final Four weekend. Would love to see them both at IU!

Hmmmm-I knew Watford was at the final four junior all star game with Hurt—but did not realize TJ Davis was there too. Maybe we have something brewing here!

The Blue Bloods and little Penny.

 

Hurt had home visits last week with Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, North Carolina coach Roy Williams, Kentucky coach John Calipari and Kansas coach Bill Self .

 

He’s not done yet, either.

 

Indiana’s Archie Miller is due in Friday, UCLA’s Steve Alfordon Monday and Memphis’ Penny Hardaway one day next week.

 

“I had four last week and I have a couple coming up,” Hurt said Thursday evening by phone. “Those are really the main seven [schools] right now"

Interesting that Lil' Rick has conceded defeat already...

Huh.

Probably trying to sell him on coming to Memphis and teaming up with James Wiseman. Since Wiseman played for Hardaway in AAU. That and he was probably telling him how big of a check he could write lol.

In my haste, I missed some stuff, didn't read below the graphic. Here's the entire Zagsblog story.

With Self likely coaching Hurt I see a major disadvantage. Then again, from what I have read, Calipari coached Langford and supposedly helped steer him away from Kentucky.

I don’t like the company. All of those schools are playing dirty. Memphis had Cal, Pastner, and now Penny Hardaway at least in the top recruiting battles? I hope we stay clean. It’s just not worth it. UNC is the only one who seems to reap adequate benefits for the risks they’re taking.

It's definitely an extra opportunity to sell yourself. But, it's also an opportunity to fail the dress rehearsal

So why recruit? Kentucky and MSU are after Brooks so we should back out?

Go ahead Alaska. I’m not convinced on Hurt. IU has a chance but not sold on this one

There are some players where you have to play a recruiting game I’d rather not play, and other recruits where it is not necessary. Also, I don’t want Indiana to take in the same recruiting strategy as Kentucky or Duke. Strong multi-year players with an occasional 5 star is a better strategy in my opinion. So recruit differently.

Huh.

Penny Hardaway is their new coach. I believe he had a AAU team before he became Memphis coach. He will be k own by these kids, plus he had a good career, too bad he had all those injuries.

Not meaning to not pick, but getting who we need each year is our goal, that could mean needing 3x 5*s in one class and then maybe 4*s for the next 2 years. It’s always going to fluctuate what we need and that is where Crean was a disaster. He didn’t know know how to build a well balanced roster and I hope Archie is light years better there

Absolutely agree here. 

I want to see a roster of 4-5 star players that are all multiple year guys. If you get the occasional 1 and done bc they are from in state, then great. Sprinkle in some grad transfers or 3 star program guys.
