go iu bb Posted May 3 Author Posted May 3 He's planning on visiting IU soon, probably some time this month. Rabby's description of his play: "Long and bouncy, Hill already has the ability to block and alter shots on the defensive end. He's an outstanding lob finisher, can play well above the rim and runs the floor well." Quote
Popular Post Old Friend Posted May 3 Popular Post Posted May 3 Saw him twice this past season. Even talked to his coach (Jeff Teague) about him. My take away was very simple : He's raw, but this kid will play in the NBA He has a LOT of work to do, but compared to kids like Xavier Booker, as an example, this kid is a FAR better prospect. He's far tougher, far more athletic, and I would LOVE IU to land him. Guys like Rabjohns who describe kids as he did above don't give the full picture. This kid needs work and has things to develop - positioning, rebounding with something other than athletic ability, etc. But....he's going to be REALLY good eventually. go iu bb, BtownStrength, Hoosierfanyuh and 11 others 10 4 Quote
go iu bb Posted May 17 Author Posted May 17 Trevor Andershock thinks he's the best shot blocker his class. Says he's quick off his feet and is a pretty good judge of when shots to go after. He says that in one of the AAU games today, the official stats gave him 7 blocks, but Andershock, college coaches, and the Indy Heat stat keepers gave him 10 or more and likely 12+. cybergates and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted May 21 Posted May 21 4-star Isaiah Hill leads the EYBL 16s in blocks with an average of 5 blocks per game, helping his squad go 4-0 in Memphis EYBL Session II. Georgetown offered today. Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted June 7 Posted June 7 We've got ground to make up in his recruitment but IMO our new staff is going to make a major effort. As I posted earlier today, he's really young for his class and won't turn 16 until August. He attends Indianapolis Pike HS and plays AAU for the Indy Heat on the EYBL circuit. @certified_hill3 247 Rivals On3 MaxPreps Hudl Ryno6284 1 Quote

Doesn't seem like Hill felt there was much direct contact: https://x.com/JamieShaw5/status/1981094572886560962 "I haven't been on a visit yet, so I ain't really get to talk with their staff a lot. My communication with them is a little iffy. I don't really talk with them that much." Really wonder what happened - is this a misstep by the staff on a top local recruit or they saw something they really did not like and backed off completely. Quote

No opinion on the kid at all, haven’t watched a second of him, but if they’re not hard on a 6’11” athlete from Marion County would think it’s way more likely to be the latter than the former.

Yeah, and I think it's possible IU was too far behind to make up. I think the previous staff didn't really pay attention to him and Purdue has been in on him for quite some time. Quote

I think the previous staff didn't really pay attention to him and Purdue has been in on him for quite some time. Seeing how they've gone about recruiting so far, I have a hard time believing that they thought they were too far behind on a 2027 recruit to catch up. More likely they saw something that made them think he wouldn't be a great fit for the program they're building. HoosierDevils and Pagoda 2 Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted November 21 Posted November 21 Per Raby, our staff has really ramped up contact with Hill. Hill reportedly will be at the IU-Louisville in Indy and was quoted as saying he's hearing from multiple IU coaches. Have to think the comment he reportedly made in early summer about lack of IU contact had more to do with the new staff's #1 priority of building a roster for this season than evidencing any lack of interest on our part. mamasa, Stuhoo, mike vannice and 1 other 4 Quote
Old Friend Posted November 22 Posted November 22 Hill is raw and needs to develop, but he will play in the NBA. Saw him twice last season and he's eventually going to be really good. J34, Stuhoo and Class of '66 Old Fart 3 Quote

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted November 27 Posted November 27 At the Kevin Brown Memorial in Illinois, Pike beaten in OT 68-65 by Wisconsin Lutheran which features another member of the Knueppel family. Hill 4p, 6r, 1s, fb, 2t. Wasn't a particularly impressive 2 games for Hill looking strictly at the box score. No idea if he was plagued by foul trouble or perhaps battling an injury. Teammates Jahari Miller 21p, 6r, 4s and Landon Lampley 21p, 6r, 3a; 1s, 2b, 1t. Quote
