I think he is referring to someone else saying that IU hadn't contacted Van Zyl or offer....believe he is saying that Sam Story said that.  I'm not finding anything that Story has tweeted about it, but The Daily Hoosier first reported that IU had offered Van Zyl and then put an update that said 'based on multiple conflicting sources, it is uncertain whether IU has actually issued a scholarship offer as claimed by the player in the official report'.

HSN Thread.

Saw that Huntington Prep's coach had tweeted congratulations to Austin Van Zyl and then 2020 power forward (#33 on 247) Jaemyn Brakefiled on their IU offers.  Van Zyl had stated he had an offer and three hours later Brakefield posted that he had.  Van Zyl briefly played at Huntington Prep before moving to France and Brakefield I believe is a senior at Huntington Prep this year.

Have no idea what that means.

Reading through the posts by Sam Story on the HSN message boards....while he may be correct and Van Zyl didn't receive an offer, I would take pretty much everything SS says with a grain of salt.  He said that he reached his conclusion on a "text I saw and a message board thread on another site".

Seriously, I would hope that an "insider" isn't relying on posts from a site for their information.  That's not what an insider does.

Still don't know much about the guy. Supposed AAU coach or something like that. Heard many refer to him as 'someone in the know' but haven't seen it.

Could Ed have told this kid he had an offer after Archie said he wasn’t interested?  

Remember David Williams?  Jacksonville high player in 2009 that was given an offer by an IU assistant without talking to Crean.  Williams accepted......the assistant who made the offer was fired and IU backed off.  I believe Roshown McLeod was the assistant.

That kid was Kyrie Irving and was concidered an IU lean before the McCleod BS.

Yes that was McLeod on a Kyrie Irving in home. Fired him for that. McCleod told Kyrie he would be better off going to Duke. The Williams thing was weird. He committed just never signed his loi. Rick Bozich went on radio in Louisville during the fall signing period when that went on and said he was part of a package deal that fell through. Never naming the player.
