Why would anyone care about Watford canceling his scheduled announcement date because it won't be televised?  All but a handful of these players want their school announcements to be on a big stage.  It reflects not one bit on what kind of person or player Watford or anyone else who wants a big audience for their college announcement. Not a good look? Gives you pause? If that bothers you, maybe you should follow a different sport?

Just seen a tweet that Ostrom has or will be interviewed for the head coach of NKU.

Thanks for sharing. He interviewed at Dayton before joining Archie at IU, if I remember correctly.

Not saying I wouldn't want Watford on IU, I would, but this isn't the best look in my opinion and does give me pause.

 

Due to the Jordan Brand game not being televised this year I will be postponing my announcement. New announcement date will be coming soon.

 

 

It's so he can visit Indiana, and that wouldn't be able to take place prior to the Jordan game.

Television is a convenient excuse.

I don't think this is very unusual. He wants to get some exposure, good for him. But just because this is the reason given doesn't even mean it's actually why he's postponing. It wouldn't surprise me if he just needs more time to think through his decision. LSU's coaching situation was in flux, and, while Wade is back for now, he probably wants to get a better idea of what's going on. Alabama just hired a new coach who he doesn't know. If he's undecided, which would make sense, then it's totally fine to take some more time

I LOVE this tweet by Trendon, because I think it's a plausible excuse why he isn't announcing yet, and not the real reason he won't be announcing yet.

Who do you take, Lewis or both Wafords?

Good question.   I love Christian and think he'd be a great ambassador for IU long-term, so I think I'd go with the Watfords (even if little Watford only stays 1 year).

If it came down to this Lewis vs Watford is a no-brainer for me - - Lewis.  Has actual college level experience especially in recruiting.  Trendon just isn't that important to me because he'll likely be a OAD at least I'm sure that's his expectations.

I don’t think Trendon is a OAD. He is in The mold of a multi year 5*. Of course he could blow up next year and the NBA could come calling. 

Edit: I agree about Lewis actually. Christian doesn’t have the coaching experience that Lewis has. Maybe offer Christian the first job after Trendon leaves.

Is the expectation that Watford will be OAD? I guess I missed that. Is he a notably better athlete than CWat? 

I haven't watched any vids in a while and don't remember. 

Here are a few senior season highlights
