Once again. Snow doesn’t hate IU, he disliked Crean. He is on good terms with both Miller brothers. He used to watch film with Sean Miller when he coached Xavier. 

But you have to remember he is a OSU grad and will always favor them over IU

Of course, but that doesn’t mean he hates IU and will put them in the worst light very time.

Looks like the staff (Schilling in particular) has reached with some interest to recent Georgia State decomit Jalen Windham of Ben Davis. Opened up his recruitment after Ron Hunter left for Tulane.

Shot 36% from 3 last year.

Hopefully we can fight off Tulane, Georgia State, and Kent State here.

I’m more worried about Middle Tennessee State and IUPUI. 

In fairness we should not judge by the other schools involved. Don’t forget that we had to beat out Incarnate Word to land one of the most popular IU players in the last 10 years.

Well we beat immaculate word for priller so anything is possible.

If the staff thinks he can help then who cares.
Do you think Bennett gave a crap that when Kihei Clark decommitted from UC-Davis that Virginia fans were mad when he offered a 5’9 393 ranked kid? Probably not he thought he could help his program win. Worked out pretty nicely for Bennett since Clark make the biggest play in recent Virginia basketball history. Not bad for a 5’9 393 ranked freshman

Agreed. In one word IU fans want fighters and shooters not dependent on their ranking, then now people want to dismiss this kid because he isn’t good enough. Not bashing or poking at the posters here, but just saying IU fans right now are similar to the basketball team, up and down not knowing what’s going to happen every day.

I couldn’t have said it better. I’ve seen this happen with too many IU fans everyone from message boards to social media. They want tough nosed, hard working players over 5 Star one and domes but then nit pick about where recruits are ranked

Windham has a better jumper than just about anyone IU has on their team. He also played in the MIC going up against D1 players almost every night. Not to mention he went against Aaron Henry in practice everyday for 3 years. Sign him up and don’t look back.

Nothing wrong with reaching beyond obvious ranking gets...

as long as ya get it right when you do so.

 

[Alford Bailey]

We just watched a bunch of guys in the tourney that you never heard of in HS. Many with more fight and determination than we saw from anyone on our roster. I dont mind lower ranked recruits IF they are capable of playing at this level.

[Honkyman]

Jalen Wyndham averaged 36% from 3-point range this past year. That was Romeo Langford's average his senior year in high school.

[Stuhoo]

Also worth noting:

Top 100 ranked freshmen minutes logged so far during the tourney  for teams in this year‘s final four? 

Zero.

[Uspshoosier]

Don’t expect any news on the staff recruiting any players for the next week. Quiet period mon-wed and then a dead period apr 4- apr 10. Recruiting period begins apr 11 at noon

In my case the Priller reference was more of a joke, rather than thinking this kid is Priller,  as I still can’t believe we signed a player that only had an offer from Incarnate Word. That was just unbelievable.

To be fair Bennett has proven himself as an evaluator of talent at this level.
