Too bad our coach can't be there today.

I doubt pitino is even the coach when Langford steps on a college campus

I think Crean needs to go all out on Scruggs. Seems like the most likely get out of the in-state superstars.

I'm sick of in state kids hoping for what they think is a better offer. Would love to get back to the place when gets hope for and jump on an IU offer.

You would think a kid like Scruggs sees the hero's send-off Yogi just got as a kid who took pride in his state and would want to follow that. But...he may not. Which is fine. But it goes to show, partially, why Yogi was such a special one. Agree with this, though. As Dakich has said before, IU is a really attractive place to play right now.

Man, sure hope Wilkes and Scruggs do end up deciding to go to IU.. Regardless of who offers. Wilkes is a Zeller like kid. Face of your program. Scruggs has potential to be a pro, seemingly. Durham seems similar, though..?

Izzo needs to do his recruiting in Michigan and stay out of Indiana!

Nice read at:  http://scoop.hoosiershq.com/2016/04/scruggs-keeping-eye-on-iu-iubb/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Last paragraph is a quote from his high school coach:  “Being 45 minutes to the south would be great,” Simpson said. “Like I told him, if you’re an Indiana Hoosier, when you die, that’s in your obituary — former player, former Hoosier. That’s what they talk about.”

Never considered that thought as a recruiting tool.

IU picked up 2 more predictions over the past couple of days if that means anything to anyone.

I'm under the assumption Scruggs is ours to lose. I love his game and he's my top priority if I'm the coaching staff, because of his talent and the fact that he obviously likes us a lot. We can't lose this kid gambling for others we have a slight chance with(Diallo & Bombs). Once we get Scruggs I think it brings more players along too. Let's get this wrapped up hopefully by fall.

I would be extremely happy to land Scruggs as our second 2017 recruit. E really need to add some wings and bigs though.

Interesting, why?

Were the only team that has gotten any crystal ball predictions for him and everything I've seen on twitter indicates a lot of positives for us. Nothing that a spring/summer can't change though. That's why I said make him our top priority, so it doesn't drag on and let others get a chance to gain ground like Izzo and Mack seem to be trying to do. Porter saying he is 80-85% sure him and young will attend the same school makes me think its Duke or UK for them which if its UK that takes away our biggest potential threat for Scruggs besides Izzo and MSU.
