WayneFleekHoosier Posted September 30 Posted September 30 Feels like a pipedream on this one. Hearing UK initially and Houston a lot recently. But if you get a visit I suppose you have a chance. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners Quote
BA47591 Posted October 4 Posted October 4 I said it in another thread, him and Almond would be quite imposing. Quote

mike vannice Posted October 17 Posted October 17 So is Arafan Dianne on campus? Do we have any chance at signing him? A lot going on for coach with the game tonight and both Diane and Karvala on campus and the Thompson decision looming. Quote

A lot going on for coach with the game tonight and both Diane and Karvala on campus and the Thompson decision looming. Per Lasley, he was supposed to hit campus this afternoon. I would imagine he would be glaringly obvious behind the bench tonight. Assume Karvala will be there as well. Apparently Karvala had a very nice game yesterday against one of the OTE teams.

Demo Posted October 18 Posted October 18 Will be really interested to hear how Diane reacts to watching that game last night. Tough to picture a 7’0” 280lb bully of a big watching that and picturing themselves playing that way. Obviously they’d run stuff for a kid like him, but still. Karvala, on the other hand, you show a 6’7” athlete that stuff and it’s where do I sign? WayneFleekHoosier and HoosierHoopster 2 Quote

Demo Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Maybe something, maybe nothing: Houston is a finalist for 21yo G-League Center Abdullah Ahmed. Spent the last 2 years playing for the Knicks’ affiliate. Is still waiting for eligibility clearance, but, c’mon. Would assume Houston wouldn’t take both him and Diane. Fwiw Pagoda, Stuhoo, Class of '66 Old Fart and 2 others 4 1 Quote

Fwiw CDD and Kenny visited him again today, right before his Houston visit. Rabby said we matter now. We’ll see how it goes going against Houston and Arkansas. Gotta assume we have some money to spare with AT going else where. GloryDays, BtownStrength, dwtaylor1055 and 8 others 11 Quote

Home Jersey Posted October 24 Posted October 24 No idea if it's accurate, but saw a rumor posted that Houston is offering 1M, up to 1.5M, and IU is currently at just under 2M. Haven't seen anything about what Arkansas or others are offering. Pagoda, WayneFleekHoosier and Artie86 2 1 Quote
Home Jersey Posted October 24 Posted October 24 Wonder how strong of ties DDV has with Iowa United... and what Arkansas' C recruiting looks like at the moment Quote

Fwiw Ahmed’s now down to Houston and BYU and is visiting Houston 11/1. Since that’s after Diane’s visit I would assume a Ahmed cancellation would be a bad sign for IU and an honored visit would encouraging. Home Jersey 1 Quote
