bnkepner Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 To be fair, I saw JBJ play his freshman year and wasn't impressed at all. Improvement is possible and Vijay has already improved a lot since I first saw him. I saw him play last year and have seen video of him this year and Im still not impressed. He is a great player but like Ive said, he is not on IUs level Quote
BlueDevil Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 I saw him play last year and have seen video of him this year and Im still not impressed. He is a great player but like Ive said, he is not on IUs level That's honesty how I feel about him too. Thought i would be alone in this but he's only got one year left to improve. I've always thought he was a mid major talent. Quote

He is a great player but like Ive said, he is not on IUs levelDont get me wrong, I agree. But there's always a chance he improves enough for us to consider him. I think 2016 is too stacked to add him when there are so many other better players out there. bnkepner 1 Quote

There are multiple players in 16 that should be our focus point and there are too many greats in 2017 to over sign in 2016 IUsafety 1 Quote

cchoneycut Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Why can't we just get Vijay as our PG for '16? Aren't these similar numbers to what JBJ was putting up in high school? Fill me in here. Quote
BlueDevil Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 THE Oak Hill??? Marion hanging with them?? No oak hill in grant county. 2a or 3a school Quote

BlueDevil Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 lol, figured. Marion is dog pooh this year it caught me off guard at first too lol Quote
Bobman1 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Why can't we just get Vijay as our PG for '16? Aren't these similar numbers to what JBJ was putting up in high school? Fill me in here. Vijay is not on the same skill level as JBJ when they were both in HS. Also, Like James, Vijay is a volume scorer but other than that, there isn't much to it. He's not a great ball handler compared to some of the others we're recruiting cchoneycut 1 Quote

He is not even close to JBJ in high school. Ive seen him play multiple times and he does score a lot but Marion is not good and doesn't really play anyone outside of their conference. Vijay will be a rotation guy at whatever school he ends up at. cchoneycut 1 Quote

FKfootball Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 I'd take him as a walk-on. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
mdn82 Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 I'd take him as a walk-on.Lol that dude will not walk on anywhere he goes. Have you ever seen him? I have quite a bit being from Huntington. What makes you think he is a walk on type player? He isn't on the level as his brother but he will be a decent 4 year player. Maybe not here but I think he can at a Butler or Xavier type.

Crimson and Cream Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 ^This. He's good. Not great, but good....way too good to be a walk on anywhere. I agree he looks like a typical "slip through the cracks of all Indiana teams and ends up being a top player for Xavier" type of deal. He's come a long way from when I watched him as a sophomore playing with JBJ. IUsafety 1 Quote

I don't think he actually wants him as a walk on (or thinks he would only walk on at other schools) but rather that was his way of saying he'd take a pass. That's how I interpreted it anyway. mdn82 1 Quote
