Hornsby Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 Laughing to myself how we can go from dude is 100 percent iu to 100 percent not coming in 24 hours before he announces. You guys crack me up. I will never get sucked in again until the next time lolSent from my SM-A326U using TapatalkAnd the iu stuff had been informed he was coming.Sent from my SM-A146U using Tapatalk Quote

It also supposedly happened with Ledlum (which I also don't buy). So in 6 months, 2 separate recruits told the IU staff they were going to commit to IU then backed out soon after? Seems like a stretch. The IU staff can feel confident about the recruit committing even without the recruit committing. It seems more likely others read that confidence as a commitment happened even though it hadn't. rcbowla, AkronHoosier and thebigweave 3 Quote
RaceToTheTop Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 FWIW.....there are still only two Crystal Balls on 247 for Boogie Fland to UK. The first an Inside Maryland basketball contributor; the second was an Inside Maryland basketball publisher. Rivals has seen more action -- five saying Fland to UK, three of which switched from IU to UK and two which are new predictions. I do think that tells you to take the Crystal Ball predictions as more serious predictors than Rivals. Rivals seems to have more people trying to up percentages by hopping on the bandwagon. thebigweave 1 Quote

If you're banking on Boogie de-committing from Kentucky this spring and then picking IU I'll tell you what I told the other guy, "knock yourself out". MM didn't spurn us for a rival the first time around nor were we ever really involved. Quote

He is more physically ready than I think a lot of people think. He's going to get playing time this year, so he should come in with some growth in 2024-25. MikeRoberts and thebigweave 2 Quote

The IU staff can feel confident an out the recruit committing even without the recruit committing. It seems more likely others read that confidence as a commitment happened even though it hadn't. No one that covers recruiting ever said that the IU staff felt confident. None. Most said that the staff knew they were in a heavyweight fight and that it could go either way and was not pumping out confidence. I say it every time to gather all the information you can from tons of places then sift through the others. Not once during this commitment did I ever view it as a battle. Never did I see it as IU way out front or Kentucky way out front. It was a battle and the kid made a choice. Stinks but happens woodenshoemanHoosierfan 1 Quote
RaceToTheTop Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 I will say if I were a top recruit, I think I'd forgo the whole announcement date ceremony. Rarely is it an actual edge of your seat surprise. Not sure who is releasing the info -- someone from the family, the school, the media -- but putting hats on a table when people know what you are picking up is pretty silly. go iu bb 1 Quote

I wouldn't have considered IU either if Mike Davis was the coach recruiting me. Again, completely different set of circumstances my man. Edited October 20, 2023 by IndyResident16 Quote

Stinks but happens The staff being confident doesn't mean they think he's a lock or that they landed him. It just means they think they have a good chance. They put a lot of effort into this recruitment so feeling confident would be understandable. Quote
