(2019) SG Armaan Franklin to IU

[IU Hardcore]

I'm a little confused.

Where is the information coming from that Franklin is going to commit to IU?

247 still shows IU trailing purdue.

Last 2 picks were for IU. And insiders on multiple boards

I've said in the past that I like Newman the best of the two between him and Franklin and from a pure talent prospective probably still do.
That being said from a needs prospective Franklin may make more sense.Could turn into a very good lead guard and with all the wings on this team probably more of a need in the long run.

Come on down, Armaan!

 

Here's some trivia for everyone.  In 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 recruiting classes, we've landed 2 guards (this includes PG, SG, and CG) that had a higher 247 Composite ranking than Armaan Franklin.  Romeo and Curtis.  

 

I think the reasonable expectation here is that he's a new RoJo. Similar game and demeanor.  Honestly I'm excited to get an Indiana kid just so I can follow his senior year.

He’s going to end up being a very solid player at IU when it’s all said and done as long as he commits.

Franklin, Keion, TJD and one of Stewart/Ramsey/Newman. Sounds alright to me

If this happens, it’s an amazing class. I’m not so convinced it’s going to, but that is what I’m rooting for.

Sounds like Franklin, Keion and TJD are in the bag

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Who are you concerned about?

TJD confidence 90%
Brooks 60%
1 of Stewart, Newman, Ramsey 80%

So I think it’s very possible just hard to see it all unfolding like that. I suppose getting Brooks AND TJD is my biggest concern.

Armaan is expected to announce tonight around 6, per Rabjohns. 

[ap2345]

I think Franklin is a lock for IU at this point. He'll be our first 2019 commit.

What led you to that wild assumption? 

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan]

Is Newman out? I thought I read somewhere that they don't want to play together in college. Guard focus turns to Ramsey then?

I remember reading that somewhere also. Could someone refresh our memories why it was thought they wouldn't play together.

Hey some people still weren't sure about it a couple hours ago saying he could still commit to PU which I guess could still happen lol

The skepticism from the many failed years of IU basketball will be gone after this class. Romeo was the beginning in 2018. Keion and TJD will cement it in 2019

[mamasa]

Anyone know if the announcement is streamed anywhere or via social media?

[TXHoosierDaddy]

If Franklin picks IU, I would think Purdue would slide into drivers seat for Newman right? IU would try to cement Brooks and TJD with the last two schollies and I would think would also chase Ramsey and Stewart assuming there is a transfer (very possible given the year in and year out landscape of college bball).

I don’t know OSU has got to be pretty enticing.
