I think our chances go up with the visit but he still seems like a Duke lean to me. 

What happens if Forrester commits in September, do we go all in on either Garland or Romeo?  Per another board it sounds like he could very likely commit on his visit.

What if both Garland and Romeo wanted to come?

I'm sorry but my salary at IU is not nearly big enough to make those kind of decisions, But the head coach makes that kind of money and I'm sure knows more info about the situation to make the best decision for IU. I wish I could answer. I will ask one of the staff members and see if I get a real answer.

Hey, I really appreciate all of your information, so in that interest, maybe avoid directly reporting such information. As past mods can tell you, the AD has monitored certain individuals on this board before.

I'm happy to have a job and I'm happy to have a job that doesn't have to make those kind of decisions. :-)

I actually wondered that as well haha. It's odd having someone connected providing a clear and consistent message on here. Not trying to hide at all.

Looks like the RP commitment didn't change much. Garland and DeVoe are both likely to visit. Romeo will surely visit. Forrester is coming on the 9th. Word is David Duke is gonna visit all schools in his top 5, but Providence is a high favorite. Good to know all of our options are looking at us as a real option. Moses Brown still has 2 visits to plan. Has anyone heard anything onm Silvio.

Why does everybody keep saying juwan Morgan is leaving after this year?

No particular reason, except he is primed to breakout. Had a great Summer. Finally healthy.

Not likely to leave after this season IMO, but he has breakout potential.

Probably in a large part because he is on track to get his degree.

It feels so much better to finally feel like we have a chance of landing the top players again. Unlike the last 4-5 years 

[Yogi's Picnic Basket 5,004]

Torrence Watson has de committed from OSU. Could be a kid to watch from what I am hearing. We may reach out. 

[Stuhoo 79,850]

On a scale of 1-10 how would we feel as a fanbase landing a class of:

Phinisee
Anderson
Hunter
Race Thompson.

While admittedly, it would be a very solid class, I won't be impressed to the point I believe we need to be unless we woo a 5 star (Dort, Garland, Romeo) or a trio in the top 70. (Carey, Race, Johns, Anderson, Duke, etc).

HOLY CRAP DOC!!!!
You realize that you posted this over a month before any of them committed?!?
By the way, almost all said at the time that this group would be an excellent first class for CAM.

[Stuhoo 79,850]

 
^^This is where I'm at.^^
Though I know with my logical mind that it's really early to judge, it'd be nice to pick up Race, Jerome, RobP, Damezi, or best of all (for me) Bazely to plant our '18 recruiting class and allow us to wait on the big names with some peace of mind.
 

I had this post about three weeks before any of em popped!

[Stromboli 6,076]

We should be thrilled. Now add a Keion commitment tomorrow, and Romeo at HH, and we'll be the white hot team. Keep it rolling!

That's awesome!! lol. Is it post of the year?

I still feel the same way. I love it as a class, But Romeo or Garland puts it over the top.

Either way it's a good foundation if 19 recruiting gets a little bump in top end talent.

I guess I had a good feel with where our recruiting was going. Haha
