(2016) C Thon Maker

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,874]

I guess it was a good publicity stunt to help Assembly Hall play nice to Tom Crean as he crapped down his leg again. So, at least it was effective for that. Otherwise the boo birds would have been thundering down.

I want to help with Recruiting!!!

I can't. I have an IU License plate. :rtfm:

[HoosierAloha 30,024]

I think this has been made out to be more of a big deal than it actually is. Thon was wearing Nike gear yesterday...

 

I don't think it is Thon's choice.

I got really confused why I couldn't see our original posts. Didn't realize we were in the Bryant thread lol. Anyways, that would be extremely sad and I know what you mean now that you said that. Something like that wouldn't be the norm though. It's also the reason there's that small part in the back of my mind where Ed Smith scares me.

That TB thread got thrown way off and I didn't want to contribute more to it.  That's just what I've put together.  Adidas is counting on him to be "the next Lebron" or "the next KD" so they have their foot in the door already.  Again, just what I heard and could be totally false.  I think his final 4 are Indiana, KU, UL (all Adidas) and the money bags.

His recruitment will definitely be interesting. I haven't heard a timeline so I'm assuming he'll be a super late commit ala Myles Turner last year.

Just Thon showing up yesterday is HUGE! His schedule is jam-packed and him making a trip that was a bit out his way, is a big win for us. He won't commit until after his basketball season is over, and probably gonna watch the NCAA tourney clean itself out. Having or not having Crean is going to play a big part in his decision to come to IU. Thon realizes that Crean has put two big men in the pros from Indiana so i'm sure he is interested. I think when it comes down to it, it will be us and UK. With us leading by the fact that UK plays that damned platoon deal. Plus, with us the only ones to offer him and his brother, that again is a huge plus.

As much as i want TC to leave NOW....I think Glass is going to give him one more year if the Makers or TB....or all three....sign. Just my personal feeling (and desire). I have no inside info, yet i consider myself a super duper smart guy on Thon. Ok, i don't really know sheyt. Just knowing this kid will get us to the Final Four with Yogi. So many variables and nobody should take my word.

Just how good would we be with both of these guys next year? Assuming nobody leaves for the NBA.

Is Matur a 15' player as well? I am just trying to figure the numbers out. If Thon, Matur and TB commit then that is 5 schollys we are over correct?

[cjvz20 896]

Matur would be younger I believe but still have scholarship problems

2017 I believe.

[FortWayneHoosier 5,882]

Guys we need to get back on topic! This isn't the place for what you guys are discussing....take it elsewhere like a pm

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,874]

@dandakich: Absolutely.they showed yesterday just gotta deal w all the deal makers bhind scenes "@eknep: @dandakich any chance IU gets Maker or Bryant?”

[ALASKA HOOSIER 11,254]

Matur is 2017

 

If we were to get Thon....and then his brother.....WOW! watch some videos. Matur could fill in when Thon leaves!

[ALASKA HOOSIER 11,254]

I think Matur has some development to do, but he only is a Frosh in HS right now...maybe SOPH and will get the training he needs. He might be more polished when he hits college
