(2019) PF Trayce Jackson-Davis to INDIANA

[AKHoosier 6,747]

Looks like TJD will be on campus for Thursday's game along with Damezi Anderson and Jerome Hunter.

Have to think Phinisee will also make the trek down.

This is the way to recruit the state. TJD is a big time want for me.

We are starting to create a situation where supply/demand makes IU attractive again and get this, in turn maybe a destination school.

But winning will help. Gotta win at some point.

Make IUBB Cool Again!

I wish we had five scholarships to give out in 2019!

Yep. It's a balancing act, and we'll see how Archie does. Right now it seems he's intent on getting as many as possible in 2018

Trayce has his tweet of the IU offer pinned on twitter. I made a comment about the reason being was he was gonna be a Hoosier and he liked it. Lol I know nothing groundbreaking but definitely worth mentioning.

Sure seems like he is ours to lose at this point. I hope we have room for him and Brooks.

And Trendon.  And Hurt.

If Brooks and TJD want to be Hoosiers they will be Hoosiers. Same probably goes for Watford, Hurt, and any other 5 stars that Archie is recruiting. Yes that means that Archie might have to pull some scholarships but if a kid proves he can't play at a championship level and Archie didn't recruit him the tough luck. It stinks for the player but Archie was brought in to hang banner #6 not make players that FCTC recruited happy.

While I agree with the premise (re: CAM wanting 5* players) I doubt he brings in four 5* recruits in one class, even if they all wanted to come here. Well most likely end up with two of those players because they're not going to sit behind the others.

I agree. I'm just saying that if they did want to come here and he wanted them that CAM would find a way to make it happen.

Rabjohns has an article up and apparently Trayce visited Sunday. He's coming down again for the IU-OSU game.

The article sounded extremely pro IU and had multiple quotes about Trayce loving coach Miller. I think we have to be leading after reading that.

Three unofficials in one summer is a lot even if he only lives 45 minutes away. Said that he wants to commit before the start of his senior season but maybe he'll want to get it over with before then. Seems like IU leads indeed.

I've never seen so many glowing quotes from a recruit and his family before. Definitely encouraging.

My favorite from his stepdad: "“I can see through the B.S.. I don’t see any B.S. in what Indiana is telling me or what Indiana is telling Trayce"

I freaking love it.  Purdue is crapping their pants right now after their fans claimed they led for Jackson-Davis, Damezi Anderson, and Phinisee.

No you fuggin' didn't.

Leading with TJD makes me again question the continued pursuit of Jake Forrester. They have the same body type, play the same role, and yet TJD seems more polished already and has a higher ceiling in my opinion. Not to mention the in state factor.

Plus TJD is sure to break into the top 50 when the next instance of rankings come out, and Forrester just dropped 12 spots and he's almost dropped out of the top 150.  Their trajectories are almost completely opposite.

But of course we all know that rankings are meaningless crap anyway.  :)

The only reason I think IU is still pursing Forrester is because the coaching staff thinks that Morgan or Davis or both will be going pro of some sort after this year.

Even if one of them does (which I doubt), we can just take multiple bigs next year. We're in on a ton. Igiehorn, Stewart, Jackson-Davis, Okoro, Cockburn, Hurt

Not to mention that taking Forrester now means we'd have to do some "roster management" to pull of a Garland-Romeo package deal.
