@AdamZagoria: Thon Maker to Decide on Reclassing by January, Could be Top Pick in 2016 http://t.co/Ji4nnX77kG

Not that we have a chance in Hell but.........

I just read that Maker intends to reclassify if possible, and will know by mid-Feb if he's completed all the necessary academic requirements to do so.

There's a lot going on here... His eligibility and compliance with NCAA regs really concerns me.

Killjoy.

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,386]

I've been saying I fully expected him to reclass.

Not sure we are much in the picture now but it would be fun to watch him for a year.

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

Killjoy.

Lol. I've finally been labelled something other than a sunshine pumper

With the way things have gone this year, I'd rather see:

Yogi, Jb2, RoJo, Emmitt and Thon

Hey...Yogi, Rojo, JB2, Middle School Bob, and Thon is a pretty good lineup.

 

Hell; Yogi, Rojo, JB2, Stuhoo, and Thon would even work. I'm 49, but I can still defend!

[HoosierAloha 30,068]

Troy could definitely be that 'spark' off the bench but he'll start until he graduates/leaves for the NBA.

 

Thon, look at the shooters that will provide ample space down low for you to operate and the teams willingness to share the ball.  You could be THE piece we're missing and be a legend.

Insert "give 5 fouls."

Eh. That's what we find out in Feb. If we press him hard until then and keep our names seriously in the mix then the worst that happens is we are still in the same position in 2016. The best that happens is he successfully reclassifies and we get him.

I'm not even concerned about the reclassification. Just his situation in general makes me uncomfortable

Why do some of the great ones have the most baggage?

 

Oh---it's because they are the great ones---and everyone wants a piece of them!

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Thon has spoken highly of IU even recently----anyone know how strong we actually are with him?

 

He would be something for a year!

 

And then his little brother after him!

 

I do remember we were the first to offer his brother----Crean is always working the angles and identifying talent early.

In every interview Ive read with him they name about 3 or 4 schools are recruiting him the strongest and IU is mentioned every time. So I think we are still in good standing with him!

I'm telling you~ We need Thon and his bro. Anyone remember his handler's name so i can google stalk him and send him tons of emails to get him to visit?

I believe his name is Ed Smith.      Just looked it up, and yep!

"Both Makers, who attend the Carlisle School in Virginia, came to the United States from Australia with coach Edward Smith, the guardian for both players"
