Might be letting my bias in favor of the kid get the best of me here, but that reads in a very encouraging way.

It’s not just this article. Everything I’ve read leans IU.

Just a question of whether IU pushes for him or not.    They want a big and shooter. Personally I would take him but not sure how high of priority he is for the staff currently

We will have four spots guaranteed to replace X, Kopp, Race, Trayce. So far two guards in the fold.

For sure need a big; a shooter is a higher priority too. 

I think it's a five player class, and that we will not turn down the opportunity to lock up Coen as soon as possible. Because ultimately, we will always succeed with players that can be defensive freaks, and Coen Carr is that and more.

 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

On3 talked with a handful of prospects about how their recruiting is going.

4-star Coen Carr (SF)

On3 Consensus Ranking: No. 54
Legacy Early College (SC) | Class of 2023

Which schools are recruiting you the hardest?
Vanderbilt, Indiana, Cincinnati, Tennessee State, Tennessee.

What schools would you like to visit? 
UConn, Cincinnati, LSU, Tennessee, Pittsburgh, NC State.

Did you have a dream school growing up? 
Oregon.

Which college coach would you say you’ve formed the closest relationship with and why?
Coach Stackhouse (Vanderbilt) because he’s been to the NBA and he played by position at the highest level. Also, Coach Ya (Yasir Rosemond) at Indiana because I’ve known him since I was a freshman.

Is there anybody you’d like to team up with in college or is anyone recruiting you to join them?
Stephon Castle (UConn) and Gabe Cupps (Indiana) have been recruiting me a lot.

Maybe the staff told him we would take his commitment? Lol I doubt it, but I wouldn’t be mad

MSU? Tennessee?

I think we need a SF. 

He did say IU has been one of the most in touch, and he's known Coach Ya since his frosh year. 

I agree things have been quiet from an IU perspective. And the recent offers and timing likely mean IU is not it.

It all seems MSU from what I’ve seen.

If it is indeed Michigan St. I will be very intrigued how their class translates to the college level. Several prospects that we recruited but bailed on or didn't land for behind the scenes reasons.

I think IU will come to regret not sticking with Coen Carr. I predict he will become another Draymond Green.

I don't think he is a good enough shooter to fit with this roster. I love what he brings in toughness and defense but that's kind of what Galloway brings. If we can add shooters to what we already have, we can be a national player.

Yup. At least the timing would suggest.

Perhaps, but teams need bouncy spark plugs too. And shooting can improve. Not saying he's a can't miss prospect, but there's plenty to like.

Perhaps. The problem is IU is likely to lose out on the shooters it has targeted--Kaiser and Power.  Carr seems a lot like Jordan Geronimo. Teams find a way to productively use players like them.

FYI - that was not my quote.

6 pm commitment tonight.  Sounds like MSU but who really knows for sure besides Coen Carr.

Would we have been better prioritizing him instead of missing out on the rest of them?  Wish we would have stayed on him longer.
