Brooks and TJD may want to play together. As evidenced by several things. IF this is the case and IU wants TJD, it could affect how we approach TW vs Brooks.

I don’t know any of this for sure but I wonder how much this plays into things.

In this case I'd go for Watford and then go hard after Hurt.

I firmly believe that if both parties are on the same page, Trendon will be at IU

Kind of where I am. Watford being a legacy player tips the scales vs other around the country players.

I literally have not seen a recruit you don’t firmly believe comes to Indiana.

Seriously! Death, taxes, and Hoosier Guys opinion on recruits. 🤣

Agreed, I want the best players with good character from Indiana or anywhere. I must admit that I really liked CWat’s family enjoying the big shot he made.

Notice the key word “if”

[HoosierAloha 30,102]

The chances of landing both Hurt and Watford are slim to none. In the unrealistic chance we do land them both, they'll be fine after a season.

Give me Jackson-Davis and Brooks. I believe one (TJD) contributes immediately along with Smith, Davis, Thompson, and Forrester in the front court.

The inverse would be a year of Hurt and Watford staring and the others contributing.

I want an experienced team that has a few good underclassman that contribute but is led by upperclassmen. TJD and KB could both see their junior season at Iu.

I agree the chances are slim, since our chances with Hurt are very slim to begin with. If we land TW then I think our chances go up. We already have his buddy Race. TW would give him a top 10 player to play with. I think we'd be title contenders with the two of them. Conference contenders for sure. 

[rcbowla 8,086]

Our chances with Hurt aren’t terrible. Corey Evans said we were a darkhorse in his recruitment. We aren’t the frontrunners right now, but if we can get an official visit we will be in a position to have a decent chance at the end.

I'm not sure why people keep suggesting we don't have a shot with Hurt when we've been told we absolutely have a shot.

Yeah, and it would be a severe kick to the balls if both TJD and Brooks end up at Purdue, after we get Watford.

I don’t see that happening at all but I wouldn’t be upset. Can’t get them all and if we land the best, can’t get upset that number 2 and 3 went elsewhere

I have a chance to win the lottery but they're not good. IU has a chance to land Hurt but it's unlikely.

I would love to land Watford and I think we have a shot. I highly doubt we land both Watford and Hurt. I would prefer Jackson-Davis and Brooks.

Why is Watford and TJD not a possibility? It seems like TJD is far more likely to commit before Brooks.

Chris007 we are trying to get 2/4 of these forwards right? Love the focus on Indiana kids but not if other out of state top talents want in first

I would be thrilled with any of the four—-we may have to go with first come—first served! If a 5 Star wants to come—welcome them. We can’t afford to lose them with the hope we MAY get another one. I imagine Miller is letting them know they better decide quickly or risk losing out. Take the first 2 out of the 4 who are ready to be Hoosiers NOW. I think that may be TJD and Watford....

Right! If Watford wants to come and we don't accept it because we are waiting on the other 3 and T-Dub commits elsewhere and 2 of the other 3 don't come, I'll be PO'd.

I would take that in a heartbeat. Our frontcourt could end up being loaded in 2019. I just don't see how we could make it work with two players ready to start.

Davis - Forrester
Moore - Thompson
Smith - Hunter

Then throw in TJD and Watford. There's not enough minutes.
