Alford Bailey Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Would be interesting to hear some comparisons between Vijay and Grant Gelon. Quote
biteoftheapple Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Why discuss other players in a recruiting thread? The General would not allow it. Quote
PrideofFeeLane Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Why discuss other players in a recruiting thread? The General would not allow it. Wasn't sure where to put the recruiting note. Didn't feel it was worthy of its own thread and felt this was most appropriate given the conference ties. Mods feel free to delete/move if necessary. BlueDevil and Hovadipo 2 Quote

Not sure if we have a thread for Adaway or not, I'll check and add one if necessary. No big deal. Quote
WayneFleekHoosier Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Some inside scoop here. Heard it won't be Indiana. He is a homebody but I've heard Ivy League in the picture (Cornell). Not sure he will leave home though. In that case smaller Indiana schools in the mix. Cornell apparent leader as of now. mamasa, Stuhoo, Napleshoosier and 1 other 4 Quote

Hearing anything that Butler (my 2nd favorite school) could be in the mix? Quote

Curious to see how this ends up, if he stays in state. Class of '66 Old Fart and Kepner 2 Quote
MartintheMopMan Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Remember in another thread where I grew up near Binghamton? I grew up near Cornell too! If he isn't looking at basketball as a route to the NBA and is instead looking for a free education, that's a great decision. Ithaca is one of the top 5 most beautiful places I've ever been. The people are awesome, the girls are cute and easy, and if you like snow you'll get tons. Plus, ample skiing. It's the kind of place I would want to have gone to college if I hadn't wanted to get away from home so badly. There were many nights up late drinking after a terrible job hunt where I thought I'd made a mistake going to Indiana for undergrad instead of Cornell. In retrospect, the mistake was my choice of major, not my choice of university. WayneFleekHoosier and IUsafety 2 Quote

Crimson and Cream Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Lol Kokomo isn't that great this year. I see coach Blackmon still hasn't figured out how to teach defense over there. Alford Bailey 1 Quote

Bryan Medema Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Anyone think the likely chance of JBJ returning helps here? Quote
BlueDevil Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Anyone think the likely chance of JBJ returning helps here? Personally I would stay away from him. Very overrated. Just my opinion tho. Quote
