All the "experts" and "insiders" are a joke haha

The crystal balls are really a joke until the last 24 hours and then things often start to leak.

The strange thing I actually believe SMU is a bigger threat for Shake than OU . I went to SMU for my first 2 years of college before returning home to IU. I was there during the pony express and then death penalty years. That school had a decent soccer team which actually beat IU when I was there. The SMU players were all wearing IU soccer jerseys that I guess they exchanged after the match. One thing not to discount SMU is they have basically forsaken their football program [June Jones Quit in frustration] and with Larry Brown as the head coach you could see how Shake would be interested. Dallas is not very far from home for Shake and Dallas is a pretty impressive city .Who knows how long Coach Brown will be there but his resume is tough to discount, and he has some talented recruiters with him . Plus there are some very deep pocketed alumni that for some reason or another are trying to make BB the new sport at SMU. All things being equal IU wins by a landslide BB wise but if family is this big of a consideration SMU might be a split the difference kind of choice. BTW Texas OU game is wild in Dallas. When I was there the City was basically left to the two teams fans. Rolling over cars, Drinking bars dry , basically the police force said to the locals stay inside until the weekend was over.

lol dallas isnt so impressive these days with the ebola outbreak lol!!!!!!

 

All jokes aside its nice to see a different perspective, i honestly think it wont be IU he picks but who knows at this point 

[Geometry Hoosier 1,151]

I would much rather him take plenty of time and know for sure he wants to be at IU, then to pick us only to realize he's homesick.
This decision is probably the biggest one he has ever had to face. I just hope he makes the choice that best suits him. Twenty one years after leaving JUCO for a four year school, I still regret my decision!

Drew Messmer flipped CB pick to OU for Shake.

Only one so far. Kinda how our fanbase feels, I think.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Oh boy---the flippin' is about to start----sure would like to see some come our way!

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

Drew Mesmer has zero cred. Until they all start going one way, the CB doesn't mean much.

I am still holding out hope because IU > OU and SMU.  Come on Shake----look at the message boards---which fanbase wants you the most and loves college BBall?  It's Indiana Baby!

SMU picked up a commitment from a 6'5'" three star wing today.

 

That makes two in their class; they also have a pg commit:

I wouldn't trust anyone "experts" they honestly don't know until the day of, when most of the info gets leaked to them. They don't have much expertise when it comes to picking where kids are going

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Still think its IU or OU----GO IU!

[LazOffTheBench 3,638]

I just wonder why he's waiting to announce. Is he still undecided at this point?

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

To me---it makes the most sense that he is still actually undecided.  No inside info.

Me no Likey

[CampHoosier 3,697]

I don't think he's headed our way fellas

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

It sure doesn't look promising----CampCrean.

 

But---I have also seen it work the opposite.  Sometimes when 2 locals are putting on the pressure----that 3rd school like IU is chosen to get away from all of that---we shall see!

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Rumors coming in from IUBB Twitter that Shake will announce which college he is attending next Wednesday----nothing official yet.  We shall see!
