Hoosier Hysteria Visitors - 10/21/17

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,045]

Very complimentary quotes from Keion Brooks, Sr. following HH from Inside The Hall.

“I thought it was done at a high level by the coaching staff and by the university and the athletic department,” Keion Brooks Sr. told Inside the Hall on Sunday evening. “They made the recruits really feel special and wanted. Whenever you feel wanted, it’s a good thing and you really get a chance to enjoy it. The atmosphere was just great in there.”

“I think they’re doing a great job of recruiting the kids in Indiana. They’ve done a great job with the 2018 class,” he said. “If they land (Romeo) Langford, they’ll really have done a really good job. I think they’re genuine guys that are straight up. I think the priority is all of the Indiana kids. They want to bring that back to Indiana and they got a great group of kids in the state right now that could really do that.”

“The kids really played hard. Almost too hard for a midnight madness.”  “If you can do that in an event like that, it’s going to be a good thing that they’re going to be doing in the season that you’re going to see.

"Almost too hard" refers to the undercut and some harder fouls.

Nice interview overall. I agree with all his comments.

I wasn't sure if it was a reference to that or the fact they'd already had a hard practice earlier in the day.

I didn't see this scrimmage but i would not worry at all about it. We will see how they play in a real game scrimmage does not usually tell the story for alot of reasons. I think we will have a better than expected season. I hope lol

I didn't see it either, but similar thought. It's very early, plus, if we are much more defensive minded they might not be the prettiest games. From what little I've seen of Dayton games over the last few years winning ugly may expected.

You also have to think, we were down two likely starters and Al. That's 3 likely rotation players, leaving a lot of PT for the guys at the bottom of the bench and walk ons, plus these were all rotations that we will likely never see except at the end of blowout wins. Not sure that combination was ever going to look all that pretty, anyway.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part but it seems like the post-HH comments from parents that have been published have really been heartfelt and sincere plus the fact it's from parents and not 'handlers'.  Trying not to let my glasses get to rose-colored, but it's hard not to feel really good about the future of our program.

This. I feel like CAM is building a program that is welcoming to recruits and their families. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see IU return to THE program in the state of Indiana. Brooks and Jackson-Davis are up next.

Just watched some clips of the kids walking in. Now I get why Garland’s mom teared up. I would have done the same. Just felt so warm and genuine on the part of the crowd. Makes ya feel like there are a whole bunch of folks looking out for your kid.

love our fans

Sorry, too lazy to link. Romeo re-tweeted his, and the guy he re-tweeted had Garland's as well.

I saw all of those links. What did I think of them?

How is Naples going Nips? Was on a cruise last week and still some areas that didn't look so hot.

I wish we could have heard something from the kid himself. Who knows? Maybe we will, soon enough.

I'll take winning ugly over losing ugly any day.
