Give me Carey and Thompson with a 5* of most probable Garland and I would be happy.

That Brandon Johns plays VERY much like Race Thompson. They could be the same person for all I can tell. They are both very good. Bazley is legit impressive. King and Dort are the most impressive athletes we are recruiting by a landslide.

Every single player on that list would be an excellent "get."
Some would be mega-excellent.

I'm not too greedy, I'd take almost any 5 off Wayne's list and I'll even narrow it down to 3 of his top 10.

Really solid list Wayne. If I'm making a "wishlist" out of this, give me Garland, Swider, Jallow, Hunter, and King

[Dalton26 16,892]

If we can get multiple guys from that list including at least 1 in the top 5 I would be very happy.

Disappointed to see most of these posts only include 1 or 2 instate kids when we bombarded FCTC about not getting the kids in our own backyard. I'm not saying I don't want any of these that we've offered. To the contrary!

The state isnt exactly "loaded" with talent currently. We are in on virtually every top instate kid that I know of.

Without going back I think he had 5 or 6 kids from the state on that list. That's a lot really.

6 out of 20 names on the list are Indiana kids and when you're talking about the best Indiana talent in the class of '18 I'm not sure who we've missed.

Langford / Jallow / Hunter / Phinisee / Anderson / Easley 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,736]

Darius Bazley on Instagram.  Have we officially offered?

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,312]

I believe we have offered and I'd be stoked to get him.

We've not extended an offer but it looks like Wayne can scratch Robby Carmody off his list.

EMERSON, Ga. – Robby Carmody continues to track as one of the top prospects out of the Midwest this spring as the 6-foot-4 swingman has steadily seen the offers roll in. After sifting through a steady recruiting process, five programs have begun to stand out for the Pittsburgh native: Maryland, Michigan, Notre Dame, Pitt and Purdue.

Ranked No. 99 in the 2018 Rivals150, Carmody expanded on what stands out about each program.

Maryland: “I just think the way that they play fits me really well. They have had really good success with wings coming in and playing a lot, playing well and getting to the NBA. I think it would be a pretty good situation for me.”

Notre Dame: “It is just a great place to be. The academics fit me very well. I have built a really good relationship with them. Everyone there fits me and my personality really well.

Purdue: “The things they value like toughness and playing hard on D, which is something that fits me really well with who I am.”

Michigan: “Bringing in wings, doing really well and getting to the next level. Coach (John) Beilein is just a special guy. He is one of my favorite people that I have ever talked to.”

Pitt: “(Kevin) Stallings is probably one of the best offensive coaches in the country. He gets his players the ball and gets them shots. He just knows how to run a great offense which I think would be really fun to play in.”

WHAT'S NEXT?

Carmody will finish out his final year on the travel circuit with the Ohio Basketball Club 17-under team on the adidas circuit this summer.

When it comes to a college decision, look for a fall commitment.

“Right now, I am just sitting down with my family and figuring out the places that fit me well,” he said. “I probably want to be done with my recruitment and commit by November before my season starts.”

RIVALS' REACTION

Carmody has become a Midwest priority in recent months and now with Maryland making a push, the Terps could become the dark horse candidate for the standout junior. However, Pitt has made fine in-roads upon the hiring of Stallings last year. Despite all of that, everything points toward Purdue, Michigan or Notre Dame as the likely landing spot for the four-star wing.

Dosunmu just put up 36 points. I really hope Illinois doesn't end up with this kid.
