(2015) SG Shake Milton to SMU

[Never Daunted 398]

Still waiting for some Shake news!

The twitter post of doing what makes him happy-----could mean he wants to break free from local ties and go to IU---and it may not.

I am still confident he picks IU----but the SOONER the better!

Man I hope you don't mean Oklahoma Sooner

Go ahead and disregard my last post. Completely spaced on OU. I'm more worried about them than I was SMU.

OU hurt themselves on that last sneak visit (Sept. 13th) pushing things, I know that. To me, that suggests that they did not want the IU visit to happen for fear Shake would chose IU. That doesn't seem like too much of a stretch, does it?

 

This doesn't change the family/close to home issue, but that is what I am hearing

No that would make sense to me. I wouldn't want to be pushed like that The recruit is in charge, the schools are just along for the ride at this point in the game.

It's a strange tactic. It's backfired on IU before, idk, I guess it's in the presentation but more often than not it comes off as desperate.

The recruiting world is a strange place. I wouldn't want to be a recruit or a recruiter.

I leave for Missouri/Oklahoma/Tennessee tomorrow so I'm sure I'll hear or rant all about it if he commits while I'm gone

Pap, you said you'd hear more yesterday I believe, any other info you haven't had time to post?


Sent from my place of advanced, analytical thinking: the toilet.

No, actually not. I come in peace also, but I give our perspective of IU when wins, integrity, and graduating seniors were as consistent as the autumn colors in southern Indiana.

Well, to be fair... Etherington did graduate and Cody went pro early (and might even have his degree by now), so the only "graduation failure" of that class was Remy.

 

Next year should be Yogi, Hanner and Nick.

I lived at 376 Varsity Lane :)  I was there during the "riots" when the Cadillac got overturned and the riot squad got called in.  Ah, memories....

Thanks for the info Hoosierpap-----I agree with Hovadipo---I'm feeling SHAKY too! 

 

The new SMU offer is hopefully no accident----best of all worlds maybe they have been notified it's not them.  Hopefully--OU gets a similar notice and Shake is IU bound.  The planets still seem aligned correctly to me on this one!

I agree with the posters saying that high pressure tactics in recruiting rarely work.  The one exception may be with the elite/bluebloods who drop in on a recruit who is considering "lesser" schools and tell the recruit to "take it or leave it" !

 

On the other hand---I cannot see how OU could pressure a recruit to accept now over IU----just like it would be difficult for IU to tell a recruit to accept now over Duke,UK, or KU.  There is a pecking order and I hope someday soon we are back at the top of it with UK, Duke, KU, etc.  In any event, we are above OU and I could see where their attempts to pressure Shake about IU could backfire.

 

Go IU!

I guess all's quiet on the western front? Man I wish Shake spring for the Hoosiers!

I was in Mcnutt at the time!

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

I was off campus in a mobile home park!  Laugh----but it was cheap!

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

IU's new interest in some 2015 guards has me very nervous that we may have gotten word that Shake is not ours----hope the staff is just keeping options open.  We need some good news to break here!
