Interesting that he commits shortly after an offer to a similar player

Not connected. Banks had been leaning towards IU for a while.

You’ve said this before.

So you think we take or try to take another player at the same position with a similar skill set.

We have Gunn, and Banks. We are looking for a guard, and C. If we take another like wing, it’s a 5 man class. You saying that’s the plan?

I don't know, but the Daily Hoosier story says Banks told the coaches 'last week', for what that's worth.

That I’m not sure of and honestly I’m not sure they are. It’s hard to say exactly how many open scholarships will be available but I’m sure the staff has a good idea. Banks is going to be a wing though and the guy offered yesterday will be a 4 in college so they could play together.

Ok. Interesting. A 5 man class sounds crazy to me, but hey, it’s Transfer College Basketball league after all. Also, I’ve got my eyes on Gunn.

Any ideas why he announces publicly a week after telling the coaches?

I haven’t been interested in class rankings since The Bowel Movement.

But I’m very happy about having Banks on board!

No idea. "But about a week ago, Banks said, he decided that he already had the offer he wanted and knew where he wanted to spend his college career. He called Indiana assistant Yasir Rosemond and told him and coach Mike Woodson that he would be committing to Indiana, then made the announcement on his Twitter account Friday afternoon." TDH story

I imagine a number of the four transfers will use one year of eligibility but not both. TJD will be gone, you’d imagine. And then my guess is Rob and Race might not take their extra year. I don’t think all seven will leave, but all seven could.

Of the six with freshman eligibility, half are unlikely-but-possible draft early entrants, too. They’d really have to blow up, I think those three have two years left each.

Possibly deciding how he wanted to announce it or what kind of edits he wanted to use.

[IU Scott]

I respected that he didn't post anything ahead of time and just announced his commitment

Full invite list at:  https://top100camp.com/camp-roster/

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

We have an assistant coach at the Top 100 Camp watching Favour Aire's team against a team that includes Kaleb Banks, Vince Iwuchukwu and Malik Renau.  Also on this latter team is Adem Bona a center whom we have previously watched.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Box score from one of the Top 100 games.  IU offeree Ernest Udeh with a double double playing on the Lakers team.  We've taken a pretty hard look at Isaiah Collier (76ers) but have not extended an offer.    Haven't seen any details but Noah Clowney was cited as a top performer in one of today's earlier games.  The format at this camp is skills development in the morning and then games in the afternoon.
