(2020) SG Anthony Leal to IU

[Uspshoosier]

No but they play good competition all season. Didn't they almost beat Brooks team this season?

At home with some suspect calls to keep it close. He missed 2 Ft with 1 sec left that would of won it in regulation. I still would offer both but I would take leal if only 1. That might change tomorrow though. Both are players I like and they seem to play well together

Interview with Leal on Rivals. Maybe I’m reading too much into his comments on Indiana but they don’t sound great;

Indiana: “They have not offered yet. It’s pretty much the same thing. I still talk to them and stay in touch since it’s so close.”

Saw Purdue picked up a 2020 commitment from Jaden Ivey. I’m all in on IU staking Leal and  Galloway. Two kids that want to play for IU. They both seem like players that could come back to haunt IU

I have a feeling if we don’t get Lester here in the next week or two we should see offers to Leal or Galloway or both

I thought for sure that Ivey was ND bound. Doesn't his mom or something work at ND?

Mom is assistant coach for the women’s ND team

And Ivey's dad was a ND football player.  I'd heard from friends up north that he would go to either ND or Butler.   Archie didn't waste his recruiting time as from what I was told Ivey had made it clear he had no interest in us.

RP was 35 or so while healthy. Would definitely expect around 35-38 from him. 

He was 13 of 29 from three (45%) prior to his concussion.

Is Leal's in home visit this coming Monday?

Yep.

Yes. Live evaluations are this weekend and the staff will be watching him for sure. If he has a good weekend I expect an offer will come Monday. IU is at the point where they need to offer or move on. Leal and Galloway have other good options and are not going to wait around

he shot 35% for his career in high school, so i suspect when fully healthy he'll be at least at 38%.

I'd be hard pressed to imagine that an offer Monday night won't be forthcoming.  If there is no formal offer made, IMO Leal will be headed elsewhere.  I usually don't disagree with USPS, but I really don't think his performance this weekend is a make or break in terms of an offer.  The staff has had ample opportunity to watch him play and make their assessment of how he does or doesn't fit.

Per a source on another board Leal will be getting his offer on Monday. So I guess we’ll see what happens.

I want Leal and Galloway. Don't make me pick between them or I will go with the guy with the state championship

I’m with you. That and Galloway is a lock down defender.

I’m curious how quickly a commitment takes place then. It seems like Leal has just been waiting for the IU offer

[MikeRoberts]

If we get Leal does that mean no Galloway?

I thing that is tbd. I think at one point that was the plan, but not a 100% thing anymore. I am guessing what we finish the 2019 cycle with will play a part in that too.

Galloway got an offer during his in home. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Leal get on as well. 

[Hoosier Guy]

Leal should get an offer. If that does happen, I could see both him and Galloway committing pretty soon

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

It's Official!

Blessed to receive an offer from Indiana University!! Thank you Coach Miller and staff! #GoHoosiers
