We could add 3 more if we choose.

But 2019 is so deep. I want to have at least three openings for that class. Then again, it's just part of the landscape to expect at least one transfer every year.

Maybe take Henry if only he's willing to redshirt? Not sure how everything else would factor in though

I highly doubt it. I'm guessing Romeo & Garland now but who knows

Damn :( thanks for the insight. I guess Damezi liked IU all along and the Henry offer forced him to commit. Henry will probably be at Butler now.

Anderson said he is working on getting Phinisee to pop. Man if that happens today!! The hype around the program will definitely make Romeo notice. Plus playing w 2 of the other best Indiana kids. I love what Archie is doing.

Seperate from them being top 100 and seemingly quality kids off the court, I love 2 things.....

1. The orchestration of these announcements- this is sending a message!

2. These kids are simply announcing via Twitter etc, no media circus, no hat picking, no video release.  Tells me they are serious.

Aaron Henry is out of the picture now I'm guessing?

You would have to think so

Rapid fire. Other schools recruiting these kids barely have time to recover before we land the next one!

I was surprised with Hunter but I would be really surprised with Garland.

This is the biggest dilemma in a while. Do you hold out on Henry for a chance at more studs once in 19'? Regardless, a great problem to have!

Two ways to look at it..
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Use the scholarships when they're available. Take Henry

Balance roster and save them for top prospects in 2019. We'll have at least Morgan's spot to fill with a top 2019 wing/big.

I'd prefer we bank a scholarship unless Garland, Romeo, and Dort all wanted to commit. I might even just take 2 of them. CAM won't go 13 deep so no need to have scholarships tied up like that.

I saw a couple months ago people wanted to recruit how UNC does (but without the greasiness and cheating), and I think with the recent commits Archie has begun to establish just that. We've gotten some very good recruits, but still 3-4 year players with the potential to add one or two one and dones. Also our length and height is much better just like national championship teams

If you think Henry is a stud and will be a big time player I think you take him. Someone likely transfers with all these guards and the classes probably end up balancing out.

And when we win the National Championship in 18, a few more players will go pro freeing up more spots!

Is global warming hitting Alaska or are those just your pants?

I can't even "like" this post right now.

I really wish there was room for Henry. I love the commitments but nothing beats an Indiana kid dying to play for the Hoosiers. I'll live though if it doesn't happen. I just feel bad and hope we didn't offer him just so another kid would be pressured to commit.
