(2022) - PF Noah Clowney to Alabama

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,827]

Indiana: “I talk to Indiana almost every day, (assistant) coach Yasir Rosemond and coach Mike Woodson. They have been honest with me, telling me I would play early and what I need to work on. Coach Woodson has been in the NBA, and he wants to bring that NBA to college, I like that. I do have an official visit set with Indiana in August. With a lot of these schools that are close, I am trying to take unofficial visits to them and if I like it I will go back on an official there.”

Based on his comments and that we are his only currently anticipated official visit, this seems to be going extremely well.

Completely agree. In that article Indiana's coaches are the only mentioned by name. Hoosiers well positioned here just going by his comments.

I think in this first year Coach Ya might have the most recruiting success since he has had prior relationships with some of these kids

IU (likely Rosemond) watching Clowney today.

Dorman beaten by Grayson 48-43.  Only stat I saw for Clowney was 6 pts.

Dan McDonald on last weekend's event in Georgia - Two of the prospects who drew the most head coaches to their games were Rivals150 forwards Noah Clowney  and Kaleb Banks. Throughout the weekend, head coaches from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Indiana and South Carolina were spotted watching each of them. Clowney gets most of his work done around the basket where he’s an elite rim protector and score over each shoulder on the block. Throughout the travel season, he’s also shown the versatility to play away from the basket. Banks, at 6-foot-8, is more of a combo forward who also possesses quite a bit of versatility.

 

McDonald also had this to say about Isaiah Collier another player we've been watching.  Isaiah Collier was another prospect with a lot of college coaches in town to see him. At 6-foot-4 now, the Georgia native regularly makes passes that some point guards who play at the highest level can’t make. He’s also a capable scorer too.

Thanks!  It had been a while since anything new was posted.  Also, didn't know if the Banks commitment shifted priority.

Different types of players one is a wing the other is a post.

6'9 & 6'8 PFs right?

No; while Banks is listed at 6'8", he's a skinny wing. Clowney is a big 6'9" that can guard the post.

[Hoosierfanyuh 2,141]

Any idea what exact day he visits?

They recruited Banks to be a wing and Clowney is a post. He wants to be more of a 4 in college but right now he’s more of a 5. So he’s a bit of a combo guy at the moment but they are different.

Tweet from his high school  --  Good luck to our guy Noah Clowney at the NBPA Top 100 camp this week!  Noah was one of only 60 players around the country selected for this elite camp.

Sounds like they should call it NBPA Top 60 Camp no?

Illinois offered

Agreed!  Maybe the B1G TEN might suggest that. /s
