This is the list I have of '20 offers

Burnett, Nimari	G
Cross, Matt	PF
Davis, R. J.	CG
Galloway, Trey	SG
Garcia, Dawson	PF
Jackson, Andre	SF
Jackson, Isaiah	PF
Leal, Anthony	SG
Love, Caleb	PG
Loveday, Zach	C
Morton, Ethan	PG

 

Feels like we aren’t paying much attention to Burnett, Jackson, and Jackson.

That would leave eight offers for four currently open spots.

HIs comments specific to IU:  “I’ve talked to Archie Miller one time. He seems like a very good guy and he’s shown a lot of interest in me. I’ve also talked to Bruiser Flint. He has a very good relationship with my father. IU has been showing interest lately.”

Really want IU to offer Powell. I don't see him as a starter but I think he would be great off the bench in a 15-20 minute role. Also biased because I want Evansville natives on IU's roster. Let's get Powell and Lander!!!

FWIW, the IndyStar's top 15 Indiana kids in the '20 class.

Is it just a fluke that this alphabetical list only goes to the letter 'M' and then stops, or is it possible this may only be half of the list?

We only want to offer the upper level, and that includes alphabetically.

It really is quite an interesting phenomenon.  I looked at my 2019 spreadsheet - not guaranteeing it's 100% accurate - and we've extended formal offers to 25 kids.  Only 10 were in the N-Z surname category.  In 2018, 22 formal offers and only 3 in the N-Z category.  It's impossible to keep tabs on every kid that we may have watched at one time or another but the names I did put in my spreadsheet for 2018 and 2019 are heavily in the A-M range.  Maybe there's some kind of alphabetical phobia at work?  lol

As a side note, keeping track of AAU stats is a whole lot easier for me with Archie being far more selective in his offers that was our previous coach.

Obviously because there are no more Zeller brothers.

Give it time OF. With the locals getting restless in May, you are about to see target practice with a shotgun from Archie [emoji23].

What does it say about us group of IU weirdos on BTB that you actually have to clarify that you're being sarcastic/funny with that post LOL

Not a great deal of info, but a little bit of background on Nijel Pack.

Watching some video on this kid I like his shot out to 15 feet. He looked more comfortable in pick n roll than on the block.

oh my, I hope we did not accidentally stumble upon a flaw in the process.  that would be hilarious in such a very bad way.  watch next year's offers make it only halfway through the list again, this time coming from the bottom of the list alphabetically to the top, in an obvious attempt to disguise another half-@$$ effort.  too funny.

It might not be a phenomenon. We offered 28% of the players n-z over the 2 years. For the 2019's only 33% of top 100 are n-z. Seems fairly close to the actual ratio.

I’m really interested to see if IU starts taking a closer look at Pack. He’s small but he’s a fantastic scorer and just seems to be a winner

[mdn82]

Why aren’t we recruiting Mabor Majak? From Hamilton Southeastern? He’s 7”1 and seems to be very mobile.

His composite is hovering 250. I am not a huge ranking guy outside 100 or so, but when in a year you drop 150 spots there is a reason. Especially at that size.
