Thanks guys.  I miss you all, even all the mean banter :) lol.  To be honest, I just don't get on the computer/web much with the kiddo now.  Look forward to posting a little more, always enjoy talking with you crazy people!

Rabjohns tweeted TJD also double digits in rebounds but didn't have the exact number.

Big improvement over last year. FT shooting cost us a couple games last year. TJD was probably in the 60% range last year

Thinking about going to the CG game vs Greenwood tomorrow at CG. Are tickets or seats hard to come by or can we arrive near game time and be OK.

Cool, I’m sure it means a lot for these commits to look in the crowd and see the support of IU fans

I know this may be unpopular but I actually think Jackson Davis will be more impactful than Morgan (and I love Morgan) in some ways from the beginning.

I am going to use an IU soccer comparison that I think fits perfectly. In 2016 IU had Tanner Thompson who like Morgan was a 3* player and one of the best ever to play as a senior but as much as he developed into stardom there were still some physical limitations he had. In 2017 enter 5* Freshman Griffin Dorsey as a replacement. While he was not as polished as Thompson there were things he could do to impact a game even as a freshman with his speed and physical gifts that Thompson could never do. This year as a sophomore Dorsey developed into arguably the second best player on the team behind Andrew Gutman.

I think things will be quite similar to what happens with Jackson Davis. He will make more mistakes than Morgan as a freshman but there will be things he can do with his talent and physical gifts Morgan cannot much like Dorsey and Romeo this year (there are just some freakish things 5* players can do that 3* cannot). Than by Jackson Davis' sophomore year if he stays a second year he will be one of the best players on team if not the best.

Center Grove hosting Greenwood.  You can watch the game:

Gym is full in lower area. For what ever reason they didn’t open the upper area so it’s crowded

Now I know what I’m getting ready to say will probably ruffle some feathers but I’m not as high on TJD as others are. I’ll just leave it at that. May be completely wrong and hopefully, I am. Maybe I need to see more of him first before I can make a fair assessment?

Nothing wrong with that.  Pros and cons on virtually every topic and there should be.  You can't help it you're wrong!  (I'm just yankin' your chain)
