Love this train of thought ...whatever contact IS allowed just make the minimal amount at least 

Hoping and guessing that happens this AAU season. Timing would be right.

IU/Butler seems to know more than your average outsider. I’ll trust him when he says Indiana hasn’t reached out.

The kid is genuinely humbled and excited he has offers from anyone (Iona,BSU) and he is quick to thank the coaches for the opportunity.  My opinion from speaking with them is that he has had the idea of going to IU on a pretty high pedastal.  I think you’ll find at first sign of contact ( if it ever comes ) they won’t be secretive about it no matter how minimal or token the contact may be.  I’ll update if I hear otherwise but as of now nothing even under the radar.

Great point ...there is just no downside to it ...If he struggles on the platinum team (which I truly don’t expect) or doesn’t grow any or hits an injury you don’t have to ramp up the efforts but if he shows out well and/or adds a couple inches you don’t wanna be sorry you never at least sent a salutation.

Agreed with the overall sentiment of showing we are acknowledging him.

Immediately thought of the old Welcome Back Kotter TV show and letters from 'Epstein's Mother'  lol

I would take a chance on a high caliber kid like this.

Lol that actually made me laugh ...I think he’s the type that would frame it on his wall or sleep with it under his pillow ...I think he would value any contact

Coach Hoover discussing the state of the schedule and strengthening the schedule in 2020 

[IU/Butler/Notre Dame 580]

well I guess his IU resolve will be tested ...has a family visit scheduled with Painter in early May.

[IU/Butler/Notre Dame 580]

Also fun fact ...Rick Mount came up and did a work out for Luke and Blackfords second best player Stroble.  He gave Stroble a lot of shot feedback and worked with him.  His comments to Coach Hoover on Luke: “ don’t touch him”

I wouldn’t say it’s wrapped up ( he still has to get an actual offer too) but I think painter is playing it how Archie should ...set aside a couple hours and let the kid know you think he has talent and then withhold your judgment till AAU is over and you see his growth into next season.  Smart move by painter.

Stop sucking up to Painter, it's making me ill.

A thing to keep an eye on in Brown’s recruitment is that Cluess offered him a scholarship at Iona and right now Cluess is a candidate for the St Johns job. If he gets the St Johns job it will be interesting if he will offer Brown a scholarship at St Johns. If he does that would be his first high major offer

Very enjoyable that Iona Coach Tim Cluess apparently gets auto-corrected to "Clueless". 

Pretty sure that was his schoolyard nickname growing up anyway.  :)

I thought that was some cute auto change someone coded in. Was wondering who clueless was

Either auto correct or a mailman typing too fast between walking loops

Doesn’t make me any less sick than you.  You guys know how I feel about the kid ...you have any idea what it will be like for me having to consider WATCHING a Purdue game ?!
