Lots of top 3s and 4s. Newman is a solid player. I like him better than Franklin. And because of that I selfishly don’t want him at Purdue or OSU which indirectly tells me I’d be happy to get him. Ramsey is a different kind of player. Seems like a 3 or 4 person class. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Seems like a three person class for the November signing period, and a fourth in the spring if it's a truly high-end recruit, and if we have room. Why does this seem the most likely outcome? Because this IU staff routinely does what makes the most sense and is the highest value outcome for IU, and that's the optimum scenario! ________________________________________________________________________ Sooooo.....Maybe TJD, Keion, and Franklin/Newman for November, and add a Ramsey or Stewart, if there's room, in April. Now, if Ramsey or Stewart wanted to jump on board in November, it's gonna be time to scrap the plan in favor of a dream scenario! Sure as heck beats adding (Jeremiah) April in April.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere recently that Stewart wanted to commit before his senior season starts. Hoosier Guy, WayneFleekHoosier, Class of '66 Old Fart and 1 other 4 Quote

southsidehoosier Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 Is Newman still visiting this weekend? I've seen it thrown around on social media the visit is cancelled after the Franklin commitment. Quote

He wasn't going to the same school as Franklin so why waste either of our time. thebigweave, mamasa, southsidehoosier and 4 others 5 2 Quote

Hope he goes to Xavier I liked both Franklin and Newman and hoped we would get one of them. That CAM flipped Franklin from a near Purdue lock to an IU commit in a weekend speaks volumes about our coach. Franklin might not be the best player we are after, but he may be the most important in terms of what he contributes over multiple seasons. thebigweave, ElectricBoogaloo, Class of '66 Old Fart and 11 others 14 Quote

Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk Yep. Hard to tell the behind the scenes stuff. we get caught up in message board or "expert" beliefs that we create a false hierarchy of needs/wants for the coaching staff. Like, we've all but moved on, in our discussions, from Trendon Watford, but the coaching staff may be after him as hard as ever. Quote

This kind of goes back to last year when it was noted that Arch didn't make a late visit with Garland. At the time I suspected that the staff had a good indication (one way or another) about our chances with Darius. We all know it but tend to forget that they (Arch and staff) have a better read on what a recruit may be thinking and how a given recruit would fit or be used here. Then again they claim to have had no certainty until Romeo announced. Quote
