Who Will Be IU's Next Commitment

[CottageGrove 563]

DSR and Yogi were never going to play at the same school so have your pick there

Curious, and I have probably read about this before and am having trouble remembering, but was the reason for them not being willing to play together due to both playing the 1, or did they just not like each other or something?

 

Wow, I feel like a gossip... 

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,462]

Yeah Yogi hands down, no question!
My initial point was I think Bluiett will have DSR type success.

Which means he will be a very good college player and a gunslinger!

Yeah--looking at the highlights and box scores of the Indiana All Star games with Kentucky---I got a little sick to my stomach that Bluiett will be known as one that got away.  He can score the ball!

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,462]

Yeah, I watched him his Sophomore Year when Yogi was a Senior at state. He was incredible. Very dominant as a Soph. Arguably the best player in that game. I was sold immediately.

I wanted Bluiett for IU. Felt he was the best of the in-state 2014 class. When he decommitted from UCLA, I really thought we would get him. Don't quite know what happened.

From what I was told we really didn't even make an attempt.  That's what happened.

Any idea why?

No, all I was told is that we didn't really make an attempt.

Pretty sure he didn't want to be here. He wanted to be the guy, and that wasn't likely. No reason to go after him.

So are you're saying we Blew It with Bluiett or Bluiett Blew It by not picking IU? 

 

I actually hope we at least reached out to him after the UCLA decommit----he may have seen our crowded backcourt and decided to look elsewhere.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

OK----have to give credit where credit is due---#1CreanApologist was the first to guess that Juwan Morgan would be IU's next commit.

 

Congratulations!    :thankyou:

 

So----who is the next commit Hoosier Nation?

OG to IU

 I think you're on top of this one.Just don't we will be able to overcome the home appeal of the Sooners.

Maybe we can get a point in the 2016 class and hopefully RoJo can play the lead some.

I really like the looks of OG and think we would be fine with that scenario.

I think we have to remember Yogi is a Junior and could very possibly be back next year. However if he has another jump similar to his Fresh to Soph jump, he will be NBA bound a la Trey Burke.

As much as I like Shake, I am happy with our guards currently. VERY happy.

Same,Sure would like to add that super stud 5 to the mix though.

[HoosierD 504]

Whoever it is I just hope we only bring in 2 more at the most. It would be nice to keep a lot of the team and bring in 3 guys that are going to produce early and a couple that will produce for 3-4 years.
I think there are 3 guys that if they stick around after this season, we will be extremely good no matter who we bring in. That's Yogi, JB, and Troy. Not that those 3 are a shock or anything but with those 3 and the rest of the guys contributing back, we can have a good season now and build on that to have a great one the next.

Academically,Yogi is a senior.

 

My take:

If Yogi improves, he's a pro with a college degree.

If Yogi plateaus, he's got his college degree and goes to play for money - why would he stay if he's got his degree and is no longer improving at IU?

 

Conclusion: Enjoy Yogi this year.

I really can't see him being a part of the NBA discussion until he does what, as you referenced, Napier did at UConn. Take all four years in college to develop leadership and experience, take your team far in the tourney, and play lights out in big games. Yogi is not that close to Napier at the moment, but if he plays through his senior year, he could be. IMO.
