This is becoming a strong trend that others schools like PU must worry about. We clearly are establishing ourselves as the alpha dog Alpha Dog. That brings back memories MemphisHoosier, BGleas, thebigweave and 3 others 6 Quote
BGVille Hoosierfan Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Anybody else think this news of Franklin being "on the clock" is related to the fact that Newman is supposed to be visiting IU this weekend and Franklin is afraid he may commit while there???Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Iugradman, thebigweave, barrettballer and 2 others 5 Quote

Stuhoo Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 The young fella is gonna be a Hoosier. Don’tcha all think? Quote
WayneFleekHoosier Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 I will love him like any other Hoosier but this isn’t the guard prospect I was hoping for to replace Romeo as a one and done. Like I’ve said a few times, I will wait until the class is finalized to really judge it. Not excited but not upset either. This is exactly the kind of player that goes to Purdue and we don’t worry about (but often times end up being good players). Pretty much sums up my feeling today on the matter.

Walking Boot of Doom Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 Confident this will continue to comment good relations in the state and that Archie will turn him into a 4 year stud. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners ALASKA HOOSIER, Joe Klingler and thebigweave 3 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBannersOptimistic viewpoint...abovePessimistic viewpoint...he gets recruited over. Never sees much court time and therefore hampers relations with HS coaches.

Bowhunter Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 I thought he was supposed to commit to somewhere today Quote
AKHoosier Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 I just seriously doubt he contributes substantially before his junior year. By then, we'll hopefully be recruiting at a higher level anyway so he may not contribute much anyway. I'm not sure what need he answers. Quote
Hoosier Guy Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 I completely trust Archie. If he thinks Armaan Franklin is going to be a good piece, I’m rolling with it ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

Villanova has taken a composite 3 star the last 4 years and didn’t seem to hold them back any. Mans I understand that Franklin is right now a composite 4 star. ebridges24 1 Quote

I think with his build he will develop into a very good defender and by extension a solid 6th man as a junior and senior. Quote

HinnyHoosier Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 The other night TJD went "live" with Armaan while they were off playing some event. TJD said something like "Indiana needs to show this guy some love." Mixed reviews on the board so far and that's perfectly ok. I don't doubt Archie sees some potential there. I also don't doubt Archie knows how to play the connections game, thus the reason I quote this post. This recruitment, like most, probably has an extra layer to it.

TJD was basically pining for IU to show his friend some love. That’s what happened mamasa, thebigweave, HinnyHoosier and 1 other 4 Quote
