(2019) SG Armaan Franklin to IU

[Hoosier Guy 7,472]

Welcome!

[IUc2016 6,925]

That’s 4 top 150 Indiana kids in the last two classes. High possibility that it ends up being 5 or 6.

I could get used to this.

Glad to keep an instate kid. Apparently he is highly thought of by CAM and the staff. Welcome to Btown young fella!

Had no idea he was even close to a decision.

Archie has done a great job repairing IU's image in the state in his year and a half on the job. We're establishing ourselves as the premier team in Indiana. As long as Archie can deliver the results on the court I see no reason why this can't continue. We won't get every single Indiana kid that we want, but the days of chasing kids across the country while ignoring kids in our backyard are over.

Congratulations Armaan on making this decision. Best of luck with your senior season.

Now the question is to be asked. Does Brandon Newman still visit IU? If he truly doesn’t want to play with Franklin, then he won’t. On the flip side, if Newman still visits IU this weekend, I guarantee Franklin will be there as well

If we land Newman, Franklin, TJD, and Brooks Preisdent Trump is going to Archie for border security tips! Ha

Definitely another layer in this commit for sure and I'll just say it's very good for one of our highly sought after recruits! No need to sweat anything out from what I've recently heard!

What is the reason why Newman doesn't want to play with Franklin?

It was all about a petty AAU issue.

Playing time.  It's not that he doesn't want to play with him, but they would be in the same class competing for the same minutes.

I'm not aware of that.....what was that about?

Similar to Ayo and Thalen Norton Tucker over here. Hopefully Archie handles this better than Underwood did the situation over here if both decide to play at IU.

Gillis is probably not going to play basketball this high school season so I wouldn't put him in there.

Yes, it’s very doubtful at this point and he may struggle with that knee for quite some time based off what I’ve been hearing, but i’ll save it for the Gillis thread.

Welcome aboard Armaan! Can’t wait to watch him develop.

Not to divert the thread from Franklin, but do we know Armaan's relationship with TJD or Keion?  Good, Bad, or Non-Existent?
