2018 General Recruiting Thread

[Yogi's Picnic Basket 5,004]

I am very glad Kenny can't talk down about our situation anymore which I am sure he did w Crean to recruits. He has no more ammo on us so at least now mentally I can't blame that factor on losing recruits to them.

Not getting Romeo would definitely suck, but if he's not coming here I want him to decide asap so we can move on to other guard targets. We can still land an exceptional class without him.

If Romeo is even considering Louisville after what went down there I don't want him anyway.

I actually agree with this tbh, but to be fair his family seems very disciplined. It is very telling that Romeo has been a U of L lean for awhile sides the Duke rumors that seem like forever ago now. I feel like if it was them, he would have pulled the trigger by now. The last few days I have seen A LOT of U of L commitment talk though so I am pushing my enthusiasm back a bit. Still think the longer the better for us though.

I agree. It may sound like sour grapes, but completely true. What could possibly be the justification of going to a $h!t-hole like Louisville?

Wow; nothing personal, but do I ever disagree with this!

They're putting guys into the NBA. That is more than likely the end goal for Romeo.

Why? He has his pick of any College in USA. Any of them. Louisville has been proven to be reprehensible.

Would wonder about character alignment if he is going to to chose UL.

I don't think this is completely fair. It's still basically his hometown school and Pitino is a hall of fame coach who can get players to the NBA. Despite what happened I can still see the appeal to a kid who literally lives a bridge away from YUM.

Bad news on the Romeo front. Happened very quick too. Ethan Moore picked u of l just now in cb. He is u of l's bozich. Only picks their targets and usually always waits till he has solid info.

Also just read on their boards that the UK & Duke news came from both expecting Pitino to wrap him up soon.

He had Duke prior I think so he can't be infallible.

Ethan Moore is not their Bozich.  He picked 3 guys in 2017 to go to Louisville that went elsewhere.  

Mayan Kiir

Brandon Randolph

Alex O'Connell

2016 was even more with 5 guys, dude just picks Louisville alot

[Uspshoosier 53,858]

If want to listen to Jerry Meyer talk IU recruiting and recruiting in general he was on the Kent sterling show today. Interesting comments I tried to link it but I couldn't

Just cause he isn't as good as Bozich doesn't mean he isn't one of their top guys lol. I was saying that so people didn't assume he was just a random guy. A lot of guys change their picks btw and everyone had Romeo to Duke this time last year not just him so not sure why that matters.

He might not be some random guy but obviously the guy isn't too connected or else he would have a better percentage for the school he supposedly covers.  And if he only picks when he hears something he needs better sources

Also picked Randolph to UNC. His Mayan pick was way before he even announced and didnt even change it after he decommitted. Most of his other picks were right and the ones he got wrong were what most thought at one point. Walker to V Tech, Knox to Duke, Randolph to UNC, Walker to Zona, Ayton to KU. Alex O'Connell was the only bad pick I saw on there.

Technically most of his picks are right, but still being sub 60% is not very impressive on 247

Everyone? No. Over the last year it has been said Duke, UK, and UL. I have not heard exclusively Duke. Btw the last 3 years he is sitting at just above 50% on his guesses every year. That is horrible when you can change your guesses.

Honestly from looking at the dates it looks like he doesn't change them very much. Most guys would be a lot worse if they couldn't change it 3 times a week lol. Meyer has changed his Bagley pick 3 times in the last 2 weeks or something like that. UK to USC to now Duke.
