Yeah, I sorta thought I mentioned my source on that. Here's the link and you can see that the latest predictions have fallen our way.

Seeing a Duke guy and Meyer give us the nod is a nice sight. Not getting any hopes up though. There is a LOOONNNGGG way to go.

Meyer is a pretty good one

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,370]

That is GREAT early news. Hope for a reclass to 2015 next. Wow. My hopes are officially up!

A reclass seems to improve our chances significantly, imo.

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners[/quote] Andrew Slater and Meyers usually don't make changes like that until they know something significant. Very interesting.

Do you know who Meyer originally picked? Or is that his initial prediction?

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners[/quote] No, I don't. But those might have been their first picks for him because it doesn't indicate that they flipped their pick.

Why would a reclassify improve our chances significantly? Sorry if I've missed something

Two things, really.

Crean's message initially seems to be a pretty good one. He seems to do better when we get involved close to decision time and not in the drawn out recruitments.

Combine that with the fluidity in recruiting and I think it would serve IU better that he reclassify.

And then there were three! A new 247 Crystal Ball predication for Thon Maker.

 

Messmer switches from Kansas to IU for young Mr. Maker today!

 

A 2015 starting five of Hanner, Thon, Troy, JB2 and a sr Yogi running the show?

Good lord, a fellow can only dream of that combo!

Is he still only 200 pounds? You'd almost have to assume he'd be looking to add more muscle to his frame for long term. If memory serves me correctly both Cody and Noah added a good amount of muscle in their time here

Saw the recent video of Thon battling Skal Labasierre. Thon looked like he was strong and lean; very "young Cody" type frame.

 

He will have NO problem competing (dominating?) inside from day one in college.

Oh I don't see him struggling much in college. But professional teams are definitely going to want him to add more muscle so he can battle down low against some of the big dudes in the NBA. That stuff could at the very least be another selling point for us

Sounds like a trailer for the new Star Wars movie.

Unofficial visit to Kansas today for Thon and Mizzou tomorrow. Not the news I wanted.

Not a problem.

 

Never expected him to only consider/visit IU. Simply thrilled that we are apparently right in the thick of it as one of the frontrunners!

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,370]

right :)  I agree.  Must be something going our way here for the crystal ball picks and all.  I am not worried yet, just reporting the news!
