If he wants to commit they are taking him. It’s very possible they end up with 2 guards in this class. I think Rabby may have said recently that IU is in constant contact with Little as well. 

Sure seems that way.  Staff clearly high on him.

Is this kid good? It looks like he’s unbanked on 24/7 but his offer list isn’t that of an unranked  kid. 

Ranked 141 on rivals. 247 has him two inches ago—had an excellent AAU summer—will be ranked on all services soon. 

Coach’s son. Starting PG on Ohio state champ as a sophomore. 
Yes…he is good. The whole B1G + national high academic schools want him.

This would be fantastic news if he pulled the trigger.

There are multiple people that work for IU that I could see being very high on Cupps as a player.

Let’s see now…

WHO on the IU staff might have a primo connection with the son of a long-time, high level Ohio high school coach?  :)

You guys will like this. From Brooks Cupps’ book on leadership:

• Gabe Cupps (Brook’s son) entered the conversation for a few minutes…
  • Gabe sent a text to each player on the team before tournament games that simply said, “We’re gonna win.”
  • Where does that confidence come from? “It’s the work put in leading up to the big moments.”
  • Gabe originally tried out for the North Coast Blue Chips AAU team… The same team that Bronny James (LeBron James Jr) played on… During a break in the action, he asked Bronny to play 1 on 1… “I didn’t know how good I was. I wanted to see.”
  • Gabe earned their respect and made the team… Later LeBron noticed Brook’s coaching ability when he was helping out at practice and determined he was the best coach to lead the team moving forward.
  • LeBron’s superpower as a leader is “gassing up his guys.” He has the ability to create more belief in others through his belief in them. A critical leadership action where LeBron excels…
• What did Brook and Gabe say to each other during their long embrace after winning the state championship? “I just told him how much I loved him.”

That’s it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he makes it back for an early season game in November or early December

I love this answer, when asked what piques his interest in Indiana and talking about Woodson and his staff.  I will admit, though, all his answers seem sincere and far from shallow.

"I think his purpose of bringing Indiana basketball back on top is one of a kind. It can’t be replicated anywhere else in the country. I just think that’s super intriguing to me.”
