(2019) PF Trayce Jackson-Davis to INDIANA

[HinnyHoosier]

I’m not always positive

Are you sure?

Might you even say you're...positive...about that?

Sorry. I had to.

Hold the faith. I can be as impatient with recruiting as the next guy. It'll be worth the wait.

There’s no doubt that TJD is going to IU. That’s why I think it’s pointless to cut it down to three schools. Just make a decision. That’s the problem with recruiting. We as grown men worship these recruits. They milk it for all it’s worth. I understand wanting some attention. But it’s completely ridiculous most of the time

If I'm getting highly recruited I wouldn't pass up the opportunity for one of those types of Tipton edits videos...kids love that stuff and I would too.

I don’t mean this to be mean-spirited, but your sentiment comes off as a little ironic considering how often you post in threads about where these recruits are going.

 After the Langford thing this seems like child's play.

Let the kid have his day in the sun.I really believe he's ours and have for  a long time.

Hopefully we make the final:

2 3/4

2 1/2,

2 1/4, 

2,

1 3/4

1 1/2

1 1/4 and then...

Maybe the problem is that you consider yourself a grown man and worship 17 and 18 year olds.

Only a matter of time. This is the one sport where IU actually cares

[Ranger78]

I don't fully understand the recruiting landscape, but I blame the adults for about 99 percent of this nonsense. I've listened to a couple of this young man interviews and I'm impressed. He's a well rounded high caliber player that IU would be happy to sign. I'm okay with him picking how/when.

What are you blaming the adults for? Wanting to enjoy the process? Are these the same adults that helped him impress you as well rounded?

I'm blaming them (adults) for making it a 'circus' and a skeptical.  Most adults should not need to get joy from a decision of an 18-year-old. I think adults should sit back and wait for the young man to make his decision.  The whole 'crying' about when the young man is going to decide seems like an 'adult' problem to me.  Just my two cents... like I said ... I'm not too in touch with the recruiting scene.  I personally think the young man should be the one enjoying the process. Kinda of my point in the first place... And 'NO' the well-rounded comment had nothing to do with an adult. I listen to the young man speak and gave my opinion. I'm sure he has had adult influences in his life and I'm guessing the ones that matter don't want any part of the circus. If they want part of the spotlight then they're part of the problem.

I agree that fans in particular should just have patience and let the recruits decide when they want to decide. I don't care if they choose in the spring of their Junior year, the summer, before their senior season, during their senior season or after. Until they have eliminated IU we are in a good position.

Anyone worried about UCLA here?

Honestly, not at all. The lure of playing close to home I think has a good impact here.

I've been wrong before so.......

I dont see how this recruitment is anything but legit. Frankly a kid of his talent we are lucky is deciding in the fall

[A.j. Nigh]

Crystal ball is obviously not foolproof, but until it changes from 100% IU, I’m not losing sleep over anyone.

[Hoosier Guy]

Yes this recruitment is legit. TJD hasn’t done anything shady towards any of the programs

I had the same thought last week but I still think it is a heavy IU lean. I've noticed with this recruitment that a lot of bigger schools stayed away from TJD. UNC and UCLA were the only other "blue bloods" involved (yes I still consider IU one). No Duke no Kentucky and no Kansas. I think part of that reason is schools know he is a heavy IU lean. I'm like everyone else and hope he commits soon but I'm glad he is enjoying the process. Only happens once in your life.

I would put them in a close 2nd right now. Sam Alford has been visiting with the family a lot from what I have been told. The bright spot is Alford should be fired after underachieving again this year.
