Prediction to IU from Illinois' IlliniInquirer.com. I believe that brings tally up to 6 total CB picks, all to IU. First since the fall.

Trayce says in this article he intends to cut down a list after his travel season ends in July.

Not sure what to make of that. He clearly seems to favor IU but at the same time it almost seems like he isn't all that close to deciding anything.

Everyone these days wants to "enjoy the process"

Brooks gave him a lot of good looks. Both would look great as Hoosiers as they obviously enjoy playing together.

  I love precise responses!   lol   SOON- in or after a short time.

synonyms:

shortly, presently, in the near future, before long, in a little while, in a minute, in a moment, in an instant, in a bit, in the twinkling of an eye, in no time, before you know it, any minute (now), any day (now), by and by;  informal pronto, in a jiffy;

I’m sure the Travis Scott user on here knows a thing or two about “soon”

I still feel confident in getting TJD. It will be a lot of fun to follow him this year! 

[Bailey7878]

I guess so much for committing “soon.” 

I think we get somebody soon. Just not sure who yet.

Really makes you wonder what he’s waiting for. Could be his parents, could be for schools like UK, Kansas, etc

I think Trendon Watford will be our first 2019 commit.

Remember guys. The Langford recruitment and how it was handled isn’t common. Most of the time, a recruit doesn’t stick to his word. We’ll see what happens with TJD

3rd this notion. I think if it was up to Trendon's dad he already would have committed.

I hope so, he's the one i want most of him, Brooks and TJD.

[HinnyHoosier]

The public comments made by these recruits indicate they will be waiting awhile. I assume they are being honest.

I've noticed this with TJD and Brooks.

I haven't seen as much with Watford, especially given what Ernest said yesterday.

Yes I will say it sounds like what some are saying to coaches behind closed doors is a lot different than what they're saying to reporters. Now it was like 3 weeks ago when I first got my info. So maybe something has changed since then. I did ask again on Monday and got the soon answer. So maybe soon is the fall. Or maybe he is telling them one thing and doing something different.

I'm not too surprised that Trayce didn't notify the OSU media guys that he may decide soon.  This is all a show, and these kids are learning how to play it.  That doesn't mean he won't adjust his timeline from what was said a few weeks ago.  It looks like ITH posted the video where Trayce made all of these comments, but interestingly there's no quote about waiting until July.  In the OSU article posted, that part isn't in quotes, either, and so I'm not sure that's something he just said, or if they're drawing from previous interviews.  Also, there was one question that I couldn't hear, but his answer made it sound like it had to do with a timeline.  It seems like there's a little hesitation when he's answering about this stuff, like maybe he's not being entirely truthful about "just enjoying the process for now."  You can tell that "enjoying the process" is just a phrase he's practiced to answer these questions.  Also, when originally asked about the programs showing interest, he rattled off 6-7 programs and didn't even mention OSU, until later in the interview when the OSU guy (and presumably the same guy that wrote that article) reminded him, and then Trayce gave some input on Holtmann.  Here's the video.  Let's be clear, I'm not calling Trayce a liar or anything.  I'm almost always impressed with these kids' abilities to handle media questions politely, while understanding how not to say anything that will get them in trouble.  

 

 

 

 

Here's a video from EYBL last weekend.  Like I said in my earlier comments, Trayce knows his role and sticks to it.  It's almost refreshing to have a kid not dream about being the next stretch-4/Durant/Lebron.  He plays inside, and does it very well, and very reliably.  His back-to-the-basket moves are already polished and he uses them well.  He covers ground fast to get to the hoop, and draws some fouls because of it.

Aaat's awesome!  He just jumped to the top of my '19 want list now after seeing him do the quick "Karl Malone" !

This is why Strom is one of my favorites and why I try to eat one each Friday. Brings me back from the ledge with knowledgeable info and to remind us that most OSU people just make up info to fit their narrative.
