So you can’t fly a player home to visit their family but can fly them across country to recruit. Gotta love it. 

Lol does that mean Wilkes will be there next year. What happened to the one and done he was promised.

FWIW, Alford can waste as much of his time as he wants because I don't see TJD leaving the B1G.  He seems really close to his family and IMO he wants them to be able to see as many of his games in person as they possibly can.

Would be a hoot if this was a violation of another arcane NCAA reg.

Alford gets to justify the use of the UCLA recruiting budget to finance a trip home to see his family/parents.

Corporate executives and politicians with less than optimum integrity do it all the time.

Would be great if Alford flew Wilkes in and Wilkes told TJD to stay as far away from UCLA as possible.

Honestly I'm just not worried about UCLA here.

I have a very high degree of confidence that Alford doesn't make it past this year as head coach.  They lost a lot from last year's team, and the recruits he gets don't match the results on the court.

That won't fly at UCLA for much longer.  

I know you can make the argument he would go there whether or not Alford is there, but I have a tough time believing TJD would commit to a coach who he has practically no relationship with.

20 years ago UCLA fired Jim Harrick right after he won an NCAA title for falsifying an expense report.  Those days are gone.

If Alford doesn't have success this year they probably have him on a super short list. They lost two starters from last years team but return everyone else and have a top 10 recruiting class coming in. He will probably get a pass this year but i don't know for how much longer

Can't blame the guy for pursuing top talent, but you're in Southern California and you're coming to the Midwest for players? Come on, if you can't find talent in California you aren't gonna succeed at UCLA. Which is exactly what results have indicated so far. 

 

He’s  hanging out with his parents!

I like this... from Armaan Franklin's Instagram story.

Generic recruiting update on TJD from the Indy Star but one item in particular:  “I don’t know if I could do the whole ‘Rome’ thing,” Jackson-Davis said this week, referring to the length of New Albany star Romeo Langford’s recruitment before committing to Indiana in the spring. “I don’t know how he did that. That’s like seven more months. I don’t know if I could do that.”

Later in the article, he does say that his commitment might not necessarily come during the November signing period but certainly not lasting into April.  He also again stresses that he's not an IU lean despite the rumors that abound.

Didn't he originally say he was going to wait until after the season and now he's making it sound like he's going to announce a lot sooner than that. Sounds like he already knows and just wants it to be over with. Which is good to hear. I think we may get a commit after his final visit to MSU in mid to end of October.

Indiana’s Archie Miller will be in today for 2019 five-star Trayce Jackson-Davis, source tells Stockrisers. Jackson-Davis has his official to IU next weekend

 

Archie pulling out all the stops and hopefully it all pays off.

im Not sure I share everyone else’s optimism on this one. I believe him when he stresses that Indiana isn’t a clear favorite. I have an uneasy feeling about this one.

Let's see if you have that same feeling by October 15th. If he's not a Hoosier by the end of October than let's start to worry.
