He mentions IU in the link below but FWIW it's the first time I've seen his name in connection with us. https://247sports.com/Article/2024-shooting-guard-Larry-Johnson-breaks-out-as-a-high-major-recruit-202276223/ Shocker, he’s a Georgia kid. Played at Beach HS in Savannah before transferring to Huntington Prep. Apparently had a huge weekend at the Chick-fil-A event a couple of weeks ago including a big game against IMG. Amazing what you can dig up while sitting on hold with an insurance company. Quote

Jonathon Powell Very curious to see how many of these we land. I’m not optimistic after the 2023 efforts. If I count Bidunga as a 23.I want Perry, Newell, McNeely, Somto. Lol. Aiming a little too high?!? Lol. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app They’ve all visited, so that seems high, but not unreasonable. If we’re doing 4, excluding Bidunga, among the most realistic options, give me McNeeley, Mustaf, Passmore and Burgess. If I get a 5th, I’ll take Cyril. Lower profile guy would be Gicarri Harris. He reminds me a lot of DeShawn Harris-Smith, and I love that kid. WayneFleekHoosier, ALASKA HOOSIER, BtownStrength and 3 others 6 Quote

Demo Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 I love this kind of recruitment. 3 completely different styles of play. 3 completely different kinds of coaches. 3 very different geographical situations. Basically no common threads. But, I really like them all the same. Quote
Demo Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 Well, this is kind of a tell. If you look at 247, the only Under Armour school he has an offer from is Auburn. lillurk, Class of '66 Old Fart and Stuhoo 2 1 Quote

WayneFleekHoosier Posted February 24, 2023 Posted February 24, 2023 Glanced ahead to 2024 recruiting. UNC way out in front with 4 top 50 kids already committed. Auburn has 3 top 100 kids already committed. Our top targets seem to be 4. Bidunga--maybe, just maybe. reclass ( I'm the only one talking reclass here) 6. Asa Newell 5. Dylan Harper?? Rutgers/Duke 12. Boogie Fland??? 17. Queen ?? Maryland 19. Bryson Tucker ?? 22. McNeely- Most encouraging so far 23. Somto Cyril- likely PRO options 28. Dink Pate- Unlikely 35. Jaeden Mustaf--- potential here 51. Passmore--- seems to be active recruitment 69. Betsey--- knocked on the door 86. Perry-- I wish-UK watch here. I'd sign him up NOW if we could 92. McCullough- 99. Powell- Cupp's teammate 136. Caleb Williams- Seems possible. Not exciting 138. Burgess- Not sure but he'll probably be good over time. But then again, that's what i thought about Duncomb Hoosierfanyuh 1 Quote

Popular Post Demo Posted March 8, 2023 Popular Post Posted March 8, 2023 Have been waiting for this one. Sat next to Flowers’ parents at the event in Dayton and talked to them for a good while. Nice folks. Despite not knowing me from Adam, they freely volunteered: 1) if it was solely a basketball decision it would be Creighton, 2) it is 100% a financial decision, and, 3) they had cut KU until Self called them himself and said he would put a super compelling offer together. Seriously, these people were this forthright to a complete stranger. Banksyrules, WayneFleekHoosier, Class of '66 Old Fart and 7 others 10 Quote

Not for nothing, but: This post doesn't initially appear to be a barn burner, but is compellingly interesting and provides great insight, and Again highlights why @Demo is one of the absolute best posters anywhere. Always grateful for his contributions. (while it's all true, I'm now done sucking up) lillurk, Class of '66 Old Fart and Demo 2 1 Quote
