(2019) PF Trayce Jackson-Davis to INDIANA

[ap2345]

That is awfully strong. I get your feelings as an IU fan and I don’t disagree. As a person that wants their child to be one and done because it’s their dream you are going to look at only that aspect. Which coach has proven he can get you there in better shape than originally thought.

That’s not coming just as an IU fan but as a high school coach that has heard some of the things that have gone on with Izzo and the program from from High School coaches and other college coaches in Michigan.

What would you consider bad enough?  UCLA is quickly approaching the territory where IU was at with Crean in that it will have no choice but to fire Alford to stave off a fanbase revolt.

And similar to the situation with Crean, his buyout is pretty reasonable at this point.

Maybe they need some more planes flying around pulling the 'Fire Alford' banners lol.

Personally my thoughts on Izzo differ from alot of other. I truely think that with the talent year in, year out that he has had, I would have thought that there would be a few more banners hanging.

I bet Izzo is selling it as we want you away from the basket. That is how you improve your NBA appeal. They want you as a back to the basket five.

Well, if so he had better get to work on that because I have seen none of that in his game. Guess we will see how that goes during the HS season. Alot of kids get pigeonholed to the paint when they are that size.

Welp time for IU fans to show out and put on the full court press with the Romeo treatment this year. I know I'll be at nearly every home game rockin my IU gear!

Conspiracy Theory: TJD is doing this so that when CG plays Lalu in December IU fans will come out in full force to show their love for him and Brooks. Not to mention I think he wants some of the attention Romeo got. Obviously he won’t get as much but he still wants people at his games.

Doesn't this board always seem to think we lead for every recruit and almost always never is the case. I don't ever have my hopes up on this recruiting thing. Best to let it play out and not get too emersed.

True but every analyst out there has TJD 100% to IU, that makes this a bit different.

Really hoping this is a bluff... First time I've actually been nervous with this recruitment.

Probably not. Nothing is easy and archie better have a good season imo

I am not speaking against what you are saying happens. I am saying that isn’t what the stepdad is worried about. You are focusing on that aspect because you are an IU fan. Every school is reminding every recruit followed by MSU of this. Calling him an idiot is a bit strong and wrong because you have no clue the information the family has.

I dont blame any 5* recruit to takeas long as possible to announce. Its very normal in todays recruiting world. I hope we are chosen anyway.

That might have been a bit strong but it does seem a bit hypocritical as a man who is a police officer to want your step son to be a potential part of that mess of an athletic program with the legal issues they have had.

Do you guys know why Alonzo Gaffney committed to OSU so early? Because hes an OSU fan like every other kid in that state. None of these Indiana kids are previous IU fans.

Not Romeo
Not Rob
Not Damezi
Not Armaan
Not TJD
Not Brooks

I can go on. When your program has been as irrelevant as ours has been the past 25 years, what can you honestly expect?

As someone who has lived in Ohio my whole life, i would say almost every kid grows up an OSU football fan, but very few care about OSU basketball and most would tell you the same. College Basketball in general isn’t very popular in Ohio.

Im telling you UCLA snooping around should have been a sign. Thats why I asked the question a few weeks back.

[Alford Bailey]

I could see Alford pulling the old "O just wait till spring and see what opens up" to buy himself some time.

The only thing of interest opening up at UCLA in the spring will be the head coach position.

[coonhounds]

Can these latest developments be considered anything but a huge negative for us?

If you have to delay your decision until spring to see if one of your choices fires its coach or not, then maybe that isn't a place you should be considering? Just a thought. I would like to think the average recruit would consider that, but I know there are a ton of important factors that go into a decision, such as shoe affiliation, black alternate uniforms, whether or not the coach played in the NBA, a fancy-smancy locker room with showerheads made of gold, an offense that showcases your skills...the list goes on.

I wonder what Ray Jackson has against IU? Not a fan of driving 40 minutes to see your step-son play?

Could be looking for a better pay day? I never had a warm fuzzy feeling about this recruitment like everyone else. Hope we can still land him in the spring.

We should not be out bagged in the Hoosier state. Doesn’t Adidas have a 25 point premium for location not counting the banners? Hopefully, Arch got coached up by Cal & big bro on “winning big by NCAA standards”. Everyone does this so be the best and get TDJ and Brooks.
