(2020) SF Jordan Geronimo to Maryland

[HoosierAloha 30,024]

I have been vocal as saying I think one of Archie’s biggest misses has been the juco or grad transfer game. Zero jucos and 1 grad transfer so far in 4 recruiting classes.

I’m not suggesting it to be the be all end all but there is a lot to be gained from having experienced players on the roster and a proven pg is huge. I would actually prefer him bringing in a juco or grad transfer vs a freshmen and then going all in on a landers or someone to replace Phinisee

When has Archie had 4 recruiting cycles for grad transfers or JUCOs at IU..?

Since he was hired. This year is his 3rd recruiting class to land on campus and he is 3 recruits deep into his 4th

He committed to IU. Slater was wrong with this one

Yep, and like I said on the previous page, I’m happy to eat crow on it.

Yep it was too easy to bypass when they allowed limited access. So now it’s all or nothing. I chose nothing. 

I opened it in twitter and it still allows me to use a reader mode and read the whole article. But Safari wouldn’t let me do that.

Nice! I like the pickup. Now let’s go pick us up a grad transfer point at seasons end and we can wrap this up

Welcome to the family Mr. Geronimo, great to have to be a part of the Hoosier family. Nice pick up and can’t wait to see him evolve as a player.

IU moves to #4 class in 2020 according to 247 with his commitment.

Crazy we went from having no one committed to a top 5 class in a few months. I know that will change as more top 50 players commit.

For sure. With another pickup or two I think we locked ourselves into a top 20 class. Not bad considering this was always going to be a weaker class and 2019 was thought to be the star-studded class. We just have to do this consistently and we might be alright.

Loved how enthusiastic he was on committing to IU. Bruiser Flint was his lead recruiter and Romeo was on campus during his visit.

Not trying to derail the thread, but it's been a very pleasant surprise to me how much contact Romeo has maintained with IU and his visibility.  He tweeted congratulations to Jordan and he's made a point to sign the new Alumni Basketball Wall.

Hmmm...an athletic 6’6” NBA lotto pick just happened to be on the IU campus all last weekend hanging out with the team and Jordan G.

Romeo giving back to IU.

Good read from Inside the Hall and there is a past IU connection --

Despite being more than 900 miles away from Assembly Hall, there’s a common thread between Geronimo and the Indiana program. His coach with Mass Rivals is Vin Pastore, who also coached former Hoosier and NBA first-round draft pick Noah Vonleh during Vonleh’s AAU career.

The kid has freakishly huge hands. They remind me of Spencer Haywood.

Good catch. Wonder if he has some more growth left in him.

Love this pickup. I feel like he may be the next out of state Hoosier that fans come to love for his enthusiasm and energy. Rabjohns quoted him in an article, "you should see me right now. I am just in my back yard jumping around, I am excited to be a Hoosier." 

Feel like once he puts on weight he can be a small ball stretch 4 that this team is missing. Really hyped about the way this class is turning out

Thanks IUc2016. What a great quote!

And welcome aboard Mr. Geronimo

Our newest Hoosier had offers from Yale, Brown, and Penn.

With him, Leal, Galloway, Brunk, TJD, and Armaan arriving our APR is officially pristine going forward.

How has he had 4 recruiting cycles with JUCOs and grad transfers though?

Spring/summer 2017 - 1 opening (Thompson)
Spring/Summer 2018 - grad transfer (Fitzner)
Spring/Summer 2019 - nothing

So how has he had 4 recruiting cycles with JUCOs and grad transfers...? He’s added one in 3 cycles. The 4th hasn’t happened yet.

Look out, passing lanes...and watch out, rim. 

He seems to have a nice shot and I've missed seeing some Oladipo-like dunks, but I'm most excited Indiana added a player highly skilled at reading passes with seemingly impeccable timing of an opponent's shots.

Exciting news...he should be fun to watch!

 

Nope, it turns out Geronimo was the next domino.
