Wonder if he’s a reclassify candidate

Recruiting starting to feel more Crean-Esque all the time.

Then again, Crean is on fire at Georgia. Lol

How is it Crean-Esque? This guy is pretty good and in the top 150. I haven’t seen us offering guys outside the top 200, let alone outside the realm of a D1 player like Crean did

To be fair I believe Matt cross is like 227 on 247.

Right now, I want to see 2 things in Archie's recruiting.

I want to see toughness.  This kid seems to have it.

I want kids (unless we're going to get a roster full of legit 1-2 year guys) who will stay 3-4 years and I think he would.

Is he the prototype "Indiana kid?"   Maybe not.  But a kid who carries himself like he seems to can be successful in the Big Ten and doesn't have to set the world on fire year 1.   Better said, I'm not really interested in a team full of kids everyone expects to make immediate highly successful contributions.  Sometimes, kids need to develop, and I think he does.  But I also think he's a tough SOB who can become pretty solid.

He’ll be moving up in the new rankings because of his play this summer, so not a true +200 kid

It’s not the rankings. It’s the fact we don’t seem to hone in on and land targets.

2020 guards: Leal, Galloway, Love, Davis, Burnett, this guy, etc.

Are we trying to get Leal and Galloway? Are we hoping to get better players.

Just has a more and more haphazard feel to the amount of offers per position.

As your ability to land primary targets declines, the offer list expands.

Re:Crean

We haven’t got to the Priller stages of things, although if we use our remaining 2 ships in 2019 it would look an awful lot like Priller and April signings late after multiple strikeouts.

Much more of a resemblance than people care to see.

Oh believe me, I’m a true fan. It’s painful to like Indiana sports as much as I do.

This kid could be a total stud and it wouldn’t take away from my feel about our recruiting.

We moved on from a sniper rifle approach to a pistol approach and now the shotgun is getting primed.

I thought I seen that he’s had a good summer, was surprised when I seen his ranking.

We’re not far from Revolutionary era musket volleys 

[HinnyHoosier]

The staff is aiming where they think they should be aiming in order to get results on the court, which we haven't yet gotten. If you keep trying to land your wishlist recruits and ONLY them without proof of results on the court, that's a recipe for failure. Recruiting gets better if the team success is consistent (or you roll in the mud with the pigs). Given our current status, it's not wise to recruit a narrow spectrum.

The additional recruits aren't slouches. If this were Crean we're throwing a 2019 scholarship at the closest Tim Priller doppelganger we can find.

This kid is a 2020 top 100. Obviously Miller sees something he likes. You offer that. Right now, WE are unpredictable to recruits, so they will remain unpredictable to us. Never count on anyone to accept an offer.

You could be right, but the uptick in offers could simply stem from the Staff now knowing there will be more open scholarships for the 2020 class. Of course that in itself is an issue since we couldn’t close the 2019 class like we wanted.

We tried to get top 100 kids this year. Landed one. Struck out on the rest.

 Is this a possible reclassification situation?

Ummm.....that's a pretty big 'if' you placed.  You're saying IF Miller were to tie up scholarships on that would either be wasted for four years or bring in guys on nobody's radar that it would be 'Crean like'.  Seems like a pretty big IF and something that we know the opposite has happened.....Windham was obviously a guy that had more pedigree than some of the extreme reaches Crean made (Priller, April, Gelon) and he didn't offer him.

[Honkyman]

Miller is not going to land any top 100 players who come from outside of Indiana--including Hassan Diarra-- until the team starts winning. The impression of players and coaches outside of Indiana--and perhaps inside Indiana as well--is that Miller has yet to demonstrate he can coach at this level. The view on Miller changed as a result of this past season's play.  That's why there are still two open scholarships. As for Jake Windham, no offer was made--apparently because Miller wanted to focus on trying to land Anthony Harris and Lester Quinones. Now there are no players left of Windham's quality (ranked 284 by 247 Sports). If Miller wants to fill the 12th scholarship for the 2019-20 season, he is going to end up taking the same route that Crean took and bringing in someone no one has heard of.

You can speak it into existence Bailey.. just keep trying.
