(2015) SF Ogugua Anunoby to IU

[Kepner 1,261]

just still not sure OG is a top choice or a back-up plan.

Just depends on who you ask haha. Crean has stated that OG has Oladipo-type potential! I definitely trust that.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Agree Kepner---I like OG a lot and would be fine with him!

[BGleas 7,880]

I don't think Crean has stated that, more a fan impression from seeing his video. Although we can probably assume Crean is making that comparison, given the athletic similarities.

Coaches aren't allowed to comment on recruits until they've signed an LOI.

True, Crean didn't personally come out and say it, but there was an interview with Norton Hurd, Anunoby's AAU coach and he said "Tom Crean's been personally recruiting him and he (Crean) said he got the same feeling he did when he recruited Victor Oladipo."

Vic's are some mighty big shoes to fill!  OG has to like that comparison too---great recruiting pitch!

"You remind me of Vic" is the new "you remind me of DWade"?

Hopefully Vic can have the same level of success as DWade in the league.

Good point raorIU---but what's the old saying---whatever works--use it! Go Hoosiers!

Man---Iowa is putting in some major time on OG too!  Second time they've been to see him in the last few weeks!

 

I hate losing out on recruits---but hate it even more when it's to other Big Ten Teams!

 

Go Hoosiers!

If CTC wants him, it appears he needs to ensure that O.G. knows that and puts in time with him.

[Bowhunter 2,693]

Is Morgan the oversign?

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

Is Morgan the oversign?

Yes

[Bowhunter 2,693]

So how do you think that affects OG and Shake. WE don't even have an opening for them. I wouldn't like it too much

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

I agree Bowhunter---the math has to be scary unless Crean already knows how it works out and explains it to them!

[OliviaPope40 6,478]

Oh great here we go again the over sign issue.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Well---we may not like talking about it----but I guarantee you all of our rivals are in all of our recruits ears talking about it!

One of our main rivals, Rick Pitino, has been worse than Crean with the over sign and hasn't been shy about talking about it. It's a trend in college basketball these days, unfortunately.

   This is that wild ride i was talking about

   When i was a kid we got the newspaper and read in the fall Johnny Hotshot signed with IU.

Then Johnny was going to kick some Ky A$$! We didn't know all the shenanigans that went on to get so said Hotshot.

I liked that better because I hadn't picked the kid apart ahead of time.Plenty of time for that later.

 But here I am right in the middle of it.
