Gus Etchison to Western Michigan, per Baumgart. Enjoyed my couple of viewings of him. Kid’s gonna have a good run in the MAC. If he’s able to fill out can see him being a popular high major grad transfer down the road.

This is the kid from Hamilton Heights, right? The entire community rallied around this kid, and he brought it. Tough story, but inspiring too. I went to Noblesville, but Cicero was really my stomping grounds. This is just another retelling of the Indiana basketball story. Kid lifted his entire community.

I applaud Etchison for making his decision now.  IMO, these '21s need to start thinking long and hard about the wisdom of taking their best current offer or rolling the dice they can do better with a strong high school season but then get passed over by others who commit ahead of them and not get their current #1 preference.

Corey Evans - 

Kuluel Mading  is another that is just breaking out despite missing out on the travel circuit this spring. A mid-major priority that has taken official visits to Elon and UNC-Greensboro, his newest offers have come from Clemson, Providence and VCU, while Indiana, NC State and Virginia Tech have expressed greater interest. Look for Mading to ride things out through the summer before narrowing his college options.

 

Background on Mading was posted on May 4 and May 7, on page 26 of this thread.

Yep I like where their heads were at. At least 1 of Kaufman, Patterson, and Miller. Hopefully 2. At least 1 of Mohammed and Wesley. I don’t think we take both. If TJD leaves we have one scholarship for a potential grad transfer beyond the 3 we have that at least 2 used on those 5. I am cool with the recruiting. Need to see it on the court.

Wow! Gatorade POY in arguably the best if not one of the best HS Bball states in the country and Kaufman comes in at 83? Longino and Camden ahead of Wesley? How does one drop when there has been no games since early March.

Doesn’t look like they have dropped anyone. I just don’t think they have watched him like others during the season. Their last time watching him was AAU. Which is even weirder because he had a good AAU season.

Better for us! that means he is flying under the radar of some of the other schools, right?

Depends on which teams if any put a lot of stock in to Rivals. This kid is legit. Not a TJD, but not as far behind as that would make you believe. I would be stoked to have him. The only difference with him and TJD is I do hope we pull one of the other 2 forwards as well so he isn’t forced to play 30 mpg as a freshman. Him and Aminu and I am the happiest Hoosier to pair with Lander.

I hope it is better for IU. For some reason rivals hasn’t watched him as much as 247. Big difference between the scouts from both places. Virginia wants him on campus before he makes a decision. Outside the schools that have been on him the most(IU, Purdue, Xavier, and maybe Louisville) I would say Virginia is the team outside of those that is working hard to be a player. Rivals has a story about Kaufman wanting a Kentucky offer but I haven’t heard that anywhere else. Both services have stated that IU is the team to beat at this point in time

I still say we get the forward spot situated and put all of our chips in on Mohammed. Really like the position we put ourselves in there.
