I feel like we are struggling to find a guard for 2019.

Other than Terry, none of our guard offers have committed elsewhere.

Yeah but we keep offering new ones likes we arent confident we can get the others. Idk just a feeling.

It’s better than sitting there waiting and then being stuck with recruiting the April, Priller, and Gelon level recruits to finish out the class.

Harris was on the radar during the April live periods. He was on the list of prospects to track when I went to Westfield. CAM and staff have said they want to get to know these kids and family before they offer. While on the outside it might look like they are just offering new ones out of not being confident, in my opinion they still have structured plan in recruiting that they are following. Guards are a big priority in 2019 and hopefully they get a good one

Looks like this is the guard we are pursuing the most. Harris said, "Miami, Indiana, Wake Forest and Virginia Tech are the schools standing out the most in his recruitment right now." 

 

Keep in mind Oladipo played for this AAU team and constantly goes to their games. And he noted a possible visit during Hoosier Hysteria.

He is playing on ESPNU at 4:30 today if anyone is interested in watching.

Trayce, you big flirt. FWIW, they both have Indiana and Wake Forest.

I would be okay with this. Harris, Jackson-Davis, and Brooks? That would be solid back to back recruiting classes.

Solid? How about friggin AWESOME! Stacking top ten recruiting classes is how you win championships.

True. Great programs aren’t built on just one recruiting class. 2018 was a great start. But 2019 will tell us a lot

[VO5]

Well that escalated quickly. Just announced his top 4 on instagram and IU isn’t included. 

Virginia Tech

Miami

Wake Forest

Uconn

Not sure if this is his final list or not, but doesn’t look good

[ElectricBoogaloo]

Whaaaaaat? I thought he was scheduling a visit in August. 

[akinnaird24]

Whaaaaaat? I thought he was scheduling a visit in August. 

Still a possibility that we get his 5th visit.

Lol. Can’t make this up. Good call Bowhunter

[Uspshoosier]

Ironically the last official visit could come down to IU or Georgia if he takes a 5th visit

He cant sell playing time.

 

Look at the 4 teams that Harris is visiting.

 

4 teams with not much in the backcourt. He probably starts right away. At IU, he probably wont. That's just the way it is.

My thoughts as well.

I wonder if Archie cooled on Harris.

We will only have three on the roster next year. There should be ample playing time for a good guard.

4. Unless Hunter goes pro. And 5 if we get Brooks
