I agree but don't have a good gut feeling about it. Of course my gut feeling about Carton wasn't right sooo....

Just have to wait and see

I’ll take an Indiana kid any day. A three star who can PLAY ball. They are a cut above! Case in point when we get our butts kicked by Fort Wayne! Enough said!

No offense intended but I think the logic is a bit off.  That same FW team went 18-15 (7-7) and lost in the first round of the CIT.  The fact that some of their stars were IN kids who played two  games with attitude two years in a row is important.  But we need to compete on a much larger stage.  Yes, let's take the top IN kids when we can, but we need to also recruit the top 'anywhere' kids when we can.

I would like to get Newman. Reputation as a shooter, but looks like a solid all around player. I hope he continues to improve and makes the right choice and goes to IU.

I don’t like to hear that Purdue is recruiting Newman the hardest.

I'll never understand the draw to play in that horrific town over Bloomington for a storied program. It's beyond a no-brainer.  Plus, you know, porkchop.

I can think of a couple of reasons:

No banners behind the basket to distract you.

If the season sucks the fans will just  say it's a football school.

 

You might get used to the smell eventually.

Large women

Concrete campus that smells of s___.

Haas is the poster child.

No thanks.

Not many players do choose stankass Lafayette over Bloomington.

 

There have been a few battles they have won but we have always outrecruited them as a whole

About Indiana, "The best, if not the second-best school, in the state extending the offer to me, it means a lot."

I think "if not the second best school" is a saving face comment. I mean, if he goes to Purdue, he probably doesn't want that type of quote hanging over his head. Got to be political!

If you go to Purdue, there's no saving face.

Apparently an update from Snow on Newman, but could not see it.

Nothing big. Just he is down to 4 and that he doesn't want to play with Franklin. Also is in no hurry to make a decision.
