Stuhoo Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 I’m thinking this young (very big) man is likely to be a Hoosier. He is young, he will still have four years, and apparently while raw, he is very talented and plays very hard. What UConn Coach Hurley says about him is extremely encouraging/intriguing. FWIW, when you open the link you will see the article is titled “UConn's Javonte Brown cites departure of assistant coach Kenya Hunter as reason he's transferring” https://realm.hearstnp.com/connect/authorize?client_id=hdn.js&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nhregister.com%2Fhdn%2Fhrlm%2Fp%2Fcallback.html&response_type=id_token token&scope=openid email hdn.ctpremium&state=7f4e6f7ab2c94a278692d297f1dcced7&nonce=f856f681cae24feb97c4e40bb2b74da5&trgid=1042&tenant=aGRuLmN0cHJlbWl1bQ%3D%3D&siteid=bmhyZWdpc3Rlci5jb20%3D&checkSession=true&thirdPartyCookies=false ”In October, Hurley described Brown as “a piece of clay. A legit 7-footer with tremendous upside, really, really nice skill set. Just got to figure out how to maneuver his body. He’s an 18-year-old, 7-foot, 265-pound puppy who is gonna be special. Right now, he’s got to sort things out physically, and figure out the intensity level of practice and everything a freshman’s got to do that way. But, big-time potential, very high ceiling, and unlike a lot of big guys, he loves to play. He plays with a competitiveness. He doesn’t play basketball because he’s tall, which a lot of tall guys only play basketball because somebody makes them play, because they’re tall. He plays basketball because he loves to play, and it shows up on the floor.” JaybobHoosier, mamasa, ebridges24 and 2 others 4 1 Quote

Development will be key but having two legit Big Ten centers, with time, would be nice. Thompson and another four developing a perimeter game would help a ton too.

And that should have been the path for him from the jump. I’ll take 7’0”, big frame, long, can run and with decent hands any day. But that kid just turned 18 and he’s a calf on skates right now. He had no business playing this year. But if he has a blue collar mentality he could be a hell of a long term investment. If he doesn’t he could be a hell of a tease. JaybobHoosier 1 Quote

JaybobHoosier Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 With us now having Coach Hunter, does that seem to give us a serious edge in his recruitment now? I don’t really follow recruiting much anymore, so just curious if the staff are trying to push hard to land him. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners HoosierAloha 1 Quote

Honkyman Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 Should he come to IU, it doesn't seem like we are likely to get much out of Brown-Ferguson for quite a while. It is not apparent what his ceiling is but he clearly isn't ready to contribute much next season. JaybobHoosier 1 Quote

Race will be the main 4 and should have better production out of Hunter and Geronimo. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Hardwood83 and lillurk 2 Quote

WayneFleekHoosier Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 We need a big in a big way. Not sure this is the guy I want but, I’m rolling with the punches until Archie is released or figured things out. Win Hoosiers! lillurk 1 Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 If Coach Hunter is a good judge of ability and he wanted him at UConn then we should probably welcome him to Bloomington if he comes. HoosierDYT, LockdownD, lillurk and 2 others 5 Quote
Hardwood83 Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 Perfect solution is for TJD to return for another season with Duncomb backing him up, so this guy can Red-shirt. Find another PF to bring along behind Thompson and IU will have achieved roster balance harmony. Brass Cannon, BtownStrength, MemphisHoosier and 1 other 4 Quote

I think it is pretty much a guarantee that he will under no circumstances consider a redshirt, and I cannot blame him. Can you imagine the recruiting call?
