I expect us to do very well in 2019 especially after seeing what CAM has been able to do very quickly with 2018 kids

Good lord a 38' vert from a 6'10" guy, can he dunk on the rafters?

I think it's safe to say we really want a big this class. I like this kid and seems like his game has a ton of room to grow. Would be a welcomed addition.

[HinnyHoosier 4,994]

A brief highlight video here, but he seems to use his body well around the rim when challenged. Also has some potential off the dribble and in the open floor.

It would be nice to have at least 4 scholarships for this class based on how we sit currently with the talent. We are in on so many exciting players.

Only way I see that happening is with some people leaving early. 

Even if we are done after Phinisee or get Romeo that only projects to 3 open. 

We probably will have 1 transfer though so 4 is possible though.

According to inside sources the NCAA is considering just doing 2 live periods in July. Potentially Wed-Saturday or possibly Sunday-Saturday.

Didn't know that. Interesting, certainly enough complaints

Having problems seeing any post on here, but if it hasn't been said already, Isiah Stewart is transferring to La Lumiere. Definitely a good thing so he is closer for us to recruit. Also means he has no problems playing in Indiana.

Hopefully Arch can repair/create connections with LaLu at some point. Indiana/Crean lost his. We had zero shot with Lalu kids with Crean. Now , we at least have a chance.

If you're Archie Miller what's your strategy? How do you round out '18 with '19 in mind?

If I'm Archie, I'm holding out the last 2 scholarships for Romeo, Garland, or any other 5 star that wants to come.

That would leave us with 3 rides for 19', which I'm guessing will end up being 4 with a transfer. Perfect for guys like Brooks, Watford, Hurt, TJD, Igiehon, Anthony, etc. 

We're in on too many talented guys in 19' to be left with 2-3 schollies IMO.

I'm generally of the "bird in hand" approach because of how fluid recruiting is...but I'm in full agreement. You either hit big or save them. IU is in that legitime of shape with talented '19's that I think it makes sense. And, like I said, it (almost) never makes sense for me.

Yeah 2019 is loaded. Need scholarships for that class. IU has a chance to put together a good one there

Agree exactly. If we miss on the 5 star guys, I could see using 1 of the 2 available ships to get a position of need.

I'm pretty much Romeo or bust, but I'd take Garland or King if they were willing.

King is almost a UK lock and i think Garland will be UK, Vandy, or Duke. I'm leaning UK for Garland as well.

Our need for Dort is diminished but if we miss Romeo, I'd love to have Dort.

Want 3-4 from 2019.

UK still hasn't offered King despite King playing for Cal at the U19 Championship, so I wouldn't say he's a lock for them at all. They seem to be prioritizing RJ Barrett and Cam Reddish at the wing position. However, I doubt we're players for him having already taken two wing commitments.

It's King's destination school. But yes, you bring up a good point and I think things could change but if UK offers I think it'll stick.

I watched King play last week. He was pretty impressive as an athlete. Great size and potential.
