(2016) SG Bruce Brown to Miami

[HoosierTrav 7,727]

To be honest, I feel Bruce is the most important of our targets. Although De'Ron is very high up there too, I just feel we need another good guard to succeed next season. We'll likely lose Blackmon (I just can't see him staying), and we'll lose Yogi, so I think it's a must that we have another guy to play with Rob. BB and Rojo should be a strong backcourt with hopefully De'Ron and TB with Mario at the SF. With maybe OG, Juwan, or Collin competing for a starting role throughout the season.

.

De'ron and Bruce Brown are must gets for us. They are instant contributors. Davis, paired with Bryant, would give us an elite frontcourt and Brown would make our backcourt formidable, especially defensively. Add any of Rawle, Mario, or Thon to the mix and we have a team capable of competing for a national title. More importantly, we will have started to build some consistency in terms of competing year in and year out.

Not really. Ensuring that we have enough high quality players is the must get. Bruce and DeRon are high quality players, but they are not the only high quality players.


The nice thing about getting them would be that we have our high quality player quotient covered early!

Are we even in the mix for any other players. Other than them it feels like only Rawle and Thon

The "google" search candidates are still a plenty. 

 

just joking everyone.....

I would agree with this if we were solidly in the mix for other players of similar quality, but we aren't. I respectfully disagree and stand by my statement that these two are must gets for us.

I think Brown is a must get because he wants to play PG right? We're going to lose Yogi after this year and we need a replacement for him. Brown can step into the starting PG role.

Agree, although according to Crean and Newkirk we have our Yogi replacement. Remember, no step down?

You're toeing the line with this one Wayne...

@AdamFinkelstein: ESPN 100 SG Bruce Brown has reportedly rescheduled his official visit to Purdue until next weekend.

[Stuhoo 79,455]

Well poop.

[Hovadipo 54,834]

Borzello picks Xavier. Friends pick a little bit us and a little bit UMass. This, too, is secret info.

[Hurryin' Hoosiers 1,951]

Well poop.

 

Fortunately poop is still poop regardless of when he visits so it won't matter in the end.  Would have to imagine PU is on the outside looking in.

@EvanDaniels: There's been conflicting information regarding whether Bruce Brown will decide early or late. At this stage, I think he will wait it out

[Alford Bailey 12,348]

That stinks. I hate it when these guys we really need wait til spring.

[Brass Cannon 24,210]

Well the last person picking against us on 247 think it was Umass didn't feel comfortable enough to keep the pick.  Only school being picked for him now. 

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Why do you think he's waiting until next spring? Looking for a better offer or waiting to see who leaves, or if Rawle comes, or how we do this year? Thoughts?  I wish he would just go ahead and pop for IU and I would feel great about our recruiting and then we could go all-in on Rawle/Thon to sell the idea of playing for Banner 7 (Banner 6 comes this year-- :biggrin:) !
