[daddio4iu]

he has a lot of very close friends and family who go to clarksville. i can't see him transferring there and having to play jv for a season. jeffersonville is not in the habit of releasing players.

Well he’ll have to unless there is a reason that would allow him to get released by the IHSAA. That said I’m guessing there’s a reason.

Good first post.  Keep'em coming.

[daddio4iu]

i've heard a couple different reasons why he has left the team. neither one would be a good reason for the ihsaa to allow him to play varsity next season at a different school. that doesn't mean they wouldn't try to come up with a better reason for a transfer. i do know the jeff coaching staff has left the door open for his return, even for this season. i hope for the best for Will. he's a fine and respectful young man and has a chance to be a really good basketball player.

No idea whatsoever if this kid is at all on our radar.

Reggie Bass attended Muncie Central and transferred this year to Hamilton Heights Academy in Chattanooga, TN.  This comment from Nick Baumgart.  

Get to Know 2022 In-State: Reggie Bass, 6-5 combo guard Muncie native plays for top-5 national power Hamilton Heights Academy in Chattanooga.  8pts, 5 asts, 3 rbs on a team full of D1 talent.  Florida & Texas Tech offers.  Hasn't heard from Indiana (yet), but didn't sound opposed.

I’m sure they’ll keep an eye on him this summer.

From Brian Snow

Class of 2022 four-star wing D'Ante Davis is one of the most talented players in his class in the state of Indiana. Playing on one of the best team's in the state, Davis is the third scoring option, but he has shown improvement in his game this season.

As the younger brother of Louisville signee D'Andre Davis, D’Ante is familiar with the recruiting process and what it takes to not only get scholarship offers, but also to select a school.

When asked what he learned from his brother going through the process, D’Ante said, “I just learned to take my time and make sure I make the right decision for me, and not for anybody else. Also, it taught me to make sure I have a great relationship with the coach, and how important that is.”

Davis has a scholarship offer from Louisville, but the Cardinals are not alone here in this recruitment of the 6-foot-6 prospect who checks in at No. 74 in the 247Sports Top247 for the class of 2022.

“I am also hearing from Purdue, Ohio State, Michigan State, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Butler, Xavier and some others,” said Davis.

He continued, “I have been to games at Louisville, Butler and Purdue.”

Clearly, Davis and his family have a close relationship with Louisville, and he says it is great to hear from the Cardinals.

As he should. Truthfully should get an offer before to much longer.

From Stock Risers -

Top-50 sophomore Shawn Phillips Jr. is currently ranked the No. 48 overall sophomore in the country by 247Sports. The 6-foot-10 center is ranked seventh in his position and third in the state of Ohio.

He has found himself leading a national recruitment which includes offers from Ohio State, Dayton, Ohio U, and others.

I’ve watched Phillips Jr. play and he’s one of the smartest bigs in the entire class, but how does he describe his game?

“I have great post moves and I can knock down mid-range jump-shots when needed and I’m a great post defender and a good shot blocker also a great rebounder and a decent leader. I need to get stronger, faster and more athletic to dominate at the next level.”

So, who all is involved with the four-star sophomore?

“Dayton, West Virginia, Cincinnati, Ohio state, TCU, Auburn, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio U, and Xavier,” Phillips Jr. listed. He does indeed hold offers from several of these schools and I expect that list to grow.

As far as new programs that have gotten involved with Phillips Jr. he listed the following: “TCU, West Virginia and Indiana are the newest schools to begin recruiting me.”

He has taken several visits including to Ohio State, Cincinnati, Ohio U, and some others. As far as those go, they’ve just been unofficials as he can’t begin taking officials just yet.

I asked him if he’s ever thought about the possibility of reclassing, he said “I’ve never thought about it but maybe that wouldn’t be such a bad idea.”
