Re: Snow

I get the sense he is certainly tuned in. Especially in Indiana and Ohio.

I also get the sense he despises IUBB, and it’s fans, and it’s coaches, and everything it has to do with.

That’s kind of where I’m at. I think he wants a passive fanbase. Not one that thinks for itself and shares information amongst itself. Nobody how hard he tries it’s hard for him to tell us something that hasn’t been going around social media.

Snow is a realist. He doesn’t see through crimson colored glasses. IU was a dinosaur until recently and still has a ways to go. Archie had to drag the program into the 21st century.

Mostly this.

I’m with gradman on this one.

 

[Uspshoosier 45,233]

He tried to convince me that Nebraska had more potential than us in basketball. Lol.


I don’t see how anyone could think this guy is cheering for us?

He is a national basketball recruiting analyst. Why would he be cheering for IU?

Did you fall out of your chair when you agreed with him?

He lives. 
 

So Chris007 do you think anybody actually knows where this kid is going?

Dude, when I see your name pop in a recruiting thread, I think “THERE IT IS” and rip it open. Imagine my disappointment at finding conventional snark.
you have, indeed, set a high bar.

No I don't think Garcia knows yet. I think it's between IU and MU. I do think he enjoyed our visit more but the distance to MU is more appealing probably. So we'll see. I still like our chances

Sorry. I'm probably better at being snarky than predicting an 18-year-olds future.

That’s always been my concern. Yeah 5 hours isn’t a short drive but definitely close enough his parents can drive for the weekend games 

[Ajwhitis 705]

I think it's quite obvious to say that no one knows where Dawson will go, anyone claiming they know, is likely lying. If this goes past the early signing period, I'd feel way worse about this whole recruitment. Gives more time for Minnesota and Memphis to develop relationships, and if I'm being honest, Minnesota would have a really, really good shot there. Here's how I see it,.

Decides in the next couple days= Good for Marquette

Decides around the 20th= Good for IU

Doesn't decide soon= Good for everyone else

[Stromboli 6,076]

Man, I’m bullish on this one. I think it’s been IU for some time. 
 

I have no sources beyond my own bias. Which is significant, lol. 
 

I think he likes our program the best. I think there’s enough connection (Ostrom, Race, Leal and Galloway) to make it easy. I think the absence of another 4/5 in the recruiting class helps, as does the presence of older guys to handle the 5 his freshman year. None of these programs are doing that great right now, so I don’t think he’s concerned with that. And that interview by Brent Tipton just felt very pro-IU. He really didn’t seem interested in talking about the other schools. But for IU he did, listing coaches and players by name and saying it felt like home. Reports are that his parents were engaged and enjoyed themselves. 
 

Of course he may choose Marquette. He and his family have been great through the whole process and so I’m sure we’ll wish him well. 
 

...be a lot cooler if he came here though. Let’s stack talent all over the roster. I can’t wait for us to maintain a top 10 rank through a season.

On the flip side, all those road games in the B1G are a lot closer than many of the schools in the Big East not to mention one or two in their backyard.

Like a quip from Rabby. Stated that when Garcia's father walked into Assembly Hall he felt goosebumps. As many times as I have been there, I still feel the same. Also stated that there were fans when they pulled into the parking lot that knew who they were and every trip off campus ditto.

[JHoosier914 1,187]

Rabby, on the Hoosier Hysterics podcast, said that Dawson and all of the Garcia family enjoy the fan support and the positive tweets they see.

So there’s that.

Don’t forget this great pic of Archie walking into Assembly Hall the first time.

I must admit I got tears in my eyes the first time in Assembly Hall. But, I'm a born and raised Hoosier.
