What if Phinisee is not as good as we hoped, gets injured, etc. Have to keep the talent funnel full. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app I agree, but at that point Al will be a junior, Devonte a senior, there will be back up guards, I just think that it would be smart to allow him to grow by playing time, and not watching a kid younger than him get more playing time.

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app I agree in principle, but the challenge is finding the right kid who will share the position and/or wait his turn. Too often an excess of talent at a position leads disgruntled players who transfer. CAM seems more inclined to have a primary guy who plays 30 minutes a game and a secondary guy who gives a breather or covers foul trouble. In other words, a much shorter bench than we have seen for a while. HoosierAloha 1 Quote

woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 No stats but I know he's been playing very well so far this high school season against a competitive schedule in the St. Louis area.Belleville West usually plays a very good schedule. I haven't kept tabs on him, but I'll keep a close eye on anything I hear over here.Here is a link to his team's championship win at the Centralia Holiday Tournament. Hevwas Tournament MVP in a very good tourney.http://www.bnd.com/sports/high-school/prep-basketball/article192348699.htmlSent from my SM-G930V using BtownBanners mobile app WayneFleekHoosier, Class of '66 Old Fart and ccgeneral 3 Quote

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Eric Bossi's Juniors and Seniors on the Rise: https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/bossi-s-best-juniors-and-sophomores-on-the-rise '19 E J Liddell is one of the names on his list. Recruitment: Offers from Illinois, Missouri, Northwestern, Florida, St. Louis, DePaul, Kansas State, Iowa State, Marquette and others. Why he's trending up: Liddell may not possess truly ideal height for a power forward, but he's so skilled and tough that it doesn't matter. When the rankings update he'll make one of the biggest jumps in the class of 2019 and we think he's good enough to play anywhere in the country..

IUHAHN81 Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 If Achie and staff can lock down a good portion of the talent in Indiana, I feel that will be the 1st big step in bringing winning back at IU. So much talent in state that if we can get our kids to stay home, winning will happen. Romeo would go a long ways in other kids thinking, "if a kid of that caliber can stay home, maybe IU is a place to truly consider!" We need that trend setter.

mdn82 Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 C'mon, what's with the $? You've obviously forgotten that Chris Holtmann and the awe-inspiring Butler Way have come to town. Not only are they no longer paying players, the kids are probably paying the Asst Coaches. LmaoSent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app coonhounds, WayneFleekHoosier and Jam 3 Quote

PG’s IU has shown interest in or have been in contact with DJ Carton(51) and Anthony Harris(87) Snow mentioned Harris the other night in chat. Another out of state guard is Harlond Beverley(71). Not sure the interest level but people were wondering about out of state guards. They are also showing interest with the in state guards Hemenway, Franklin, Gillis, and Newman.

Hoosier Guy Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Watford has to be a top priority. Top 10 player and brother of a former IU player. TJD is soaring through the rankings at lightning speed. Brooks is still a priority if it were me. I still want all three of these guys BubbleKnuts 1 Quote
