Posted his UC stuff to Instagram. He’s going to be part of “The Movement”. Hope it works out better for UC than the The Movement at IU.

I would think so.

FWIW, he also posted “the next great Boiler” on Instagram and I very much doubt that. A slight sliver of hope? Jordan Hulls and his family (JC) are very tight with the Adams’. Of course, Drew is tighter.

Another slight sliver of (A)-hope. IU, Indiana Elite, the Barnett’s, and Mark Adams are Adidas. Cinci is not.

Good insights.

Thanks.that Indiana Elite, Adidas, Indiana University thing is probably a little reinvigorated with Mike Woodson and Jordan Hulls in the mix. Thinking it’s helpful with R Burgess also.

That having been said, blood is thicker than water, and it sure as hell appears that Cincinnati hired Drew for a certain player’s commitment

One more thing: having that 25 NBA team Pro Day on the same day as Hoosier Hysteria?

That thing was scheduled with about six or seven players in mind, and I’d guess the most critical of those was someone who did not touch a ball; Flory Bidunga.

I’m thinking “Cincinnati’s pro day” does not exist.

Curious whether @Uspshoosier thinks it’s possible that we could move the needle here.

So, he lives with the Adam’s. Who are the parents in the photos? Apparently Wes and Drew go way back. I think there is almost no doubt the hiring leads to his commitment, but in the day and age of Nil it seems like so many things/ways to make everyone happy.

My understanding is that the Adams’ do not live in Kokomo. Curious who the host family couple is in the photo—one would think they are friends of the Adams’s and the reason Flory is in Kokomo.

Mark Adams of Indiana Elite ran A-Hope, and sponsored Flory’s immigration to the US for high school. When @Uspshoosier checks in he will be able to clarify better than I can. I know that he has been pretty pessimistic on this one.

Yep. That makes sense. I knew about the Adams AHope stuff. The host family I didn’t know about. Kokomo apparently has a fairly well developed international program he is a part of.

This one will come down to how much influence the Indiana connections (Adams) has in this recruitment.   Some say it’s the end all be all of this recruitment while others think there is other paths to landing him without using that connection.   I’m not sure I believe that but that’s what some are being told.   I wouldn’t bet against Cincy though as long as Adams is on staff.    My brothers inside Kokomo source who was out in front of Flory from the beginning even before I heard of him says he is going to go to Cincy but is kicking the tires other places.    The thing to me that makes the Adams to Cincy interesting is in my opinion they hired him more for just landing Flory.  If IU would of hired him after Dane was fired I wouldn’t of had a problem with it based on his past connection at IU and his short recruiting success  at Bradley.  Basically for me he brings more value to a program then just landing 1 international kid.  I can also see why IU didn’t go his route and went with someone in house that woody would be comfortable with.     Hulls connection with Indiana Elite is with the other guy the runs it not necessarily with the Adams according to something the Hysterics said.   I don’t see this recruitment going IU’s way but you never know.

I spoke with someone familiar, he goes on record saying recruitment is open. We’ll see.  

[Uspshoosier]

Just how it works right now.   If Duke or Kentucky enter a recruitment they are going to move to the head of the line most of the time.   Especially if the teams Star player is from the same country as the recruit

My source that said he was open might end up being right. Whatever NIL offer we accumulated just got trounced.

It'll take a bit to catch up to those well versed in "paying" players.
