2021 General Recruiting Thread

[AKHoosier]

So Purdue is about to land 5 star Harrison Ingraham?  He's a SF from Dallas.  I've never heard of him but it pretty much eliminates them from landing Kaufman.

Don’t think anything is imminent. He’s really high on Purdue but don’t think he’s ready to decide yet. But yeah that’d take us out of the Kaufman recruitment unfortunately.

I highly doubt Purdue gets this kid, but congrats on Furst. He was one of my faves in the whole class.

Why is it highly doubtful? 

[Honkyman]

Ingram is likely headed to North Carolina.

[TheWatShot]

Lol, Purdue getting 5 star recruits is about the last thing Archie Miller needs right now. 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Why is it highly doubtful? 

I said I highly doubt it. Not that it’s highly doubtful. There is a difference there. And mostly based off track record but also that it’s early for 2021 recruits, particularly 5 star ones. I’ve seen Indiana “lead” for so many 5 stars early only to be outbided later on. I expect much of the same.

Don’t think that’s true at all. If I had to pick a place he’d choose if it wasn’t Purdue, I’d go with Stanford.

That’s fair. Will be interesting to see what he does.

Braydon Sipple, Blanchester HS, Blanchester, OH named to the Division II All-Ohio second team.  Averaged 34 ppg for the season.

Latest '21 recruiting summary from TheDailyHoosier with some new names of potential interest at the bottom of the article.  Thing that caught my eye the most was that Franck Kepnang is a possible '20 reclass.  I've not been that impressed but he's attracted high level interest and he's 6'11".

In the link I posted immediately above, one of the unfamiliar names at the bottom of the article was Mason Miller from Germantown, TN.  Here's more on Miller from TheDailyHoosier.

Excellent player. Wants to get out of dad’s shadow. Definitely does not need an under the table payment to attend!

Sounds like a great get to me.

Agree about the great get part. As far as the under the table part, Memphis says hold my beer.

Mason Miller is definitely a guy to keep an eye on.  If we miss out on Trey Patterson, which we probably will, he'd be a great prospect to focus our efforts on.

I'm hoping Kaufman and Miller could pair well together, with Kaufman being more of the perimeter player.

And Aminu and Duncomb?

Will we take 4?

I don’t wanna move on from Aminu until I’m forced to.

Aminu and Kaufman would make it an outstanding class. We need a big though as Brunk graduates and TJD will most likely be gone. We need a grad transfer or a good big in 2020.

From Stock Risers, more background on Gabe Wiznitzer, a name that just surfaced last month.  

Hargrave’s Gabe Wiznitzer had himself quite the high school season and it led to a breakout in his recruitment. Named one of the top players at this year’s HoopHall, he landed himself plenty of offers and has absolutely no shortage of suitors.

“Xavier, Providence, Cincinnati, Clemson, and DePaul are on me pretty hard,” Wiznitzer told Stockrisers.com. In addition, he said that Kansas State, Ohio State and Indiana are some of the newer schools to reach out and show interest in the 6-foot-11 big.

As far as visits go, he had scheduled an official visit to Providence scheduled for March. Due to the Corona Virus, that was forced to get cancelled but it hasn’t stopped Ed Cooley’s hard pursuit of one of his top targets. “Coach Cooley and I have been talking on the phone,” he said. Plus, he has a scheduled virtual call next week with Cooley and some members of his staff.

In addition, Xavier, one of the newest programs to offer will conduct their virtual visit with Wiznitzer soon as will DePaul’s staff.

A newer development for Wiznitzer is the potential option to reclassify to 2020. “I could potentially go 2020 if I find the right situation and spot where I’m gonna be used right away and developed,” he said. He’s still open to it but clearly is focused on 2021 as more schools are still getting involved. There are some schools that would take him for either class.

As far as his decision timetable: “As far as cutting things I’m not sure yet, gonna see if AAU happens and if there are any live periods. I also can’t take official visits right now due to the virus so I’m not sure about when I will decide.”

Witnitzer likely just went from a 'plan B' to a 'plan-not necessary'.
