Original question is fair and the answer I would guess is pretty close.  I’d like to preface it by saying that tournament was one of the last two on schedule so he did play essentially the whole season. I’ve spoken with them and the sentiment I got was this:  they didn’t pull him off the team but they he been told one thing for that particular tournament about how the team would function or he structured and after a coaching change that tournament was handled completely differently than as was discussed.  When that was discussed post game the Indiana elite coordinators offered to send Luke to play an extra tourney with the 2020 gold team ( one year up one step down from platinum ) which is full of kids he played with previously.  
   Keep in mind the truth is likely somewhere between each extreme that’s been presented but I agree with the response that he’s featured plenty in high school , if you’re expecting him to be a scoring feature on a team with Kaufman and konisczney as well as the volume they Thompson shoots I don’t see how there are enough shots to go around.  I agree they wanted to see him work off ball some since he doesn’t do that in high school or much for 2021 ie platinum 

Don’t forget he sustained an injury in summer play which caused him to drop out as well. He tried to play through it, but he was eventually put on crutches in early fall.

Sort of Yes ...I’m sorry for the delay  ...they are undecided and currently fielding requests from four teams While they didn’t say this was something that couldn’t be shard they didn’t disclose the four teams and I didn’t pry ....said they would shoot some of us a summer schedule ( to try and make the games ) as soon as they committed so I’ll post that immediately when I receive it

Interesting.. This summer will be pivotal for this kid. If he wants to get power conference looks, he's going to have to play in the top division against the best talent and stand out.

I am inclined to agree with you ...the concern I guess I have is if IE platinum is saying they are going to only provide reduced minutes and Indy heat is full ....where else do you go that’s considered “top” ?

 

and he’s already got an incredibly high usage rate with his team in regular season so I’d honestly love to see him with An aau outfit where he gets to do other things too ...even if I don’t love aau as an evaluating tool it would be great to see him continue to get to facilitate to great scorers like he did with IE and also have a chance to play off ball some

Congrats to iu and to lander! BIG signing.  Kid has some special physical talent and if he comes in and plays with a high motor and full effort he could be a difference maker.  Even if that means that any tiny chance of contact with Luke brown is an impossibility As a result of the signing  I’m still a fan of it ( which you guys know says a lot since I can be a tad obsessive )....if we don’t get the other chips we have pushed for and have an empty slot anywhere I still think arch should send a letter or Two in case lol

Pretty amazing to lead in both scoring and assists.

I’ve tried to look as far back as I can through any databases and I can’t find anyone that’s done both ...coach hoover indicated it’s not been done in an interview and then doyel from IndyStar reported separately it hadn’t been done.  He’ll have a tough time maintaining both though as his closest competitor in assists ( only one back ) plays for heritage who is poised for a deep run in 3A and and his closest competitor in points plays for 21st century charter who is a title favorite in 1A
