The ship has sailed on Devoe and Duke but not Garland. We are going after him hard. If we get a visit it will get really interesting with him. 

I hope u are right.

You would at least thought they they would of had Race moved to 2017 but they still had him as the 33 PF of the 2018 class. Not a high enough rated guy for them to get that taken care of

Yeah ESPN especially is looking for the top 25 best players. The other 26-100 are the ones that catch their eye looking for the top 25.

Is Garland also a spring decision?

I think most likely since he hasn't taken any of his 5 visits.

Were definitely out for DeVoe. Named his officials and were not one of them. Moses Brown named a few but it was on a premium thread.

Louisville, Maryland, and Kansas for Brown.

ESPN is by far the worst ranking system. I wouldn't put much, if any, stock into them.

Bazley all the way to 9.

Jalen Smith to Maryland who I have raved about this summer to 15.

Tyler Herro from Wisky at 27. Wisky pulls a steal like this every so often. Kid will certainly be a thorn.

Another McD AA that will play 3 or 4 years like Sam Dekker. I never liked that kid after he ran around jumping saying how many times in a row. Wisky has beat us.

Honestly, if we don't like it then Crean should have beaten them one time in that stretch. We had plenty of talent to do it.

Rivals and 247 are the best ranking systems IMO. I don't put much stock into Scout. But Snow did make a really good high school tournament on December 9th

Paul Biancardi, Adam Finkelstein, and Jeff Borzello all do fine in covering the recruiting side of things for espn. With anything people evaluating talent all have different ways of what they feel is important in ranking a recruit. I use espn rankings like I do any of the many others, just a very small piece to a very big recruiting puzzle.

CBS owns both now and the talk was to keep them as separate things.

Welp, that sucks. All in on Romeo and Garland at this point. We need to land a few studs.

Don't forget Forrester. Staff likes him better than Brown anyway

I wouldn't mind adding this kid to the mix if 2019 wasn't so strong. I hope the staff closes things out with Romeo.

I know the article says that, but let's be real. The Crester was pushed out of 247 when the merge occurred. He is the guy who used to own HSN and sold to 247. There are other reasons I know that isn't true. One being common sense business. Why would you pay 2 people on separate platforms to do one job? It is a good lip service I have seen personally before. I give it one year before one goes down or a rebranding occurs.

I wouldn't be opposed to Forrester if he who the staff believes he is... I doubt we see two top 50 bigs (Davis +1) in the next year. We need that recruit who is okay with working hard and not getting a lot of minutes. That could be Forrester.

Didn't know that. I go by Rivals the most

[Hoosier Guy 8,333]

Ideally, IU gets Romeo and it's a class. But then again, if Garland wants to come too, IU should take him as well
