(2016) SG Bruce Brown to Miami

[iuswingman 1,940]

Jones ruined the class of first and last initials being the same.

 

BB (possibly)

DD

GG

CJ

 

Time for Jones to change his first name to Johnny :)

The timing here just screams IU. He took his Miami visit in late October and then a week or so ago he tells ESPN he's waiting for spring. We get a committment from De'ron and a few days later, he decides to go ahead and make a committment. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.

You gotta imagine that he sees 3 of our 5 scholarship spots for next year filled, that we're still out there recruiting Rawle and Thon heavily, and Eron Gordon and Vijay Blackmon are still out there with offers. Crean is also likely to find another player or two he likes over the next few months.

As pap mentioned way earlier in the thread, BB's coach Alex Popp is a fan of Crean and Martin. Seems like we've had this one from the beginning.

CB just changed to 90/10 :)

If we add Brown---this class is shaping up to be EPIC. I have to think the quick decision bodes well in our favor.  Maybe the Purdue visit put us over the edge.  While he was there visiting probably the only thing they talked about was IU.  Maybe their complex pushed him to an early commit!  :biggrin:

[Brass Cannon 24,064]

Corey Evans just picked Miami. Interesting.

He was the Umass pick, perhaps he just refuses to pick Indiana

 

Brown would be a huge get here.  Just because it would let us focus on Rawle and then start focusing on 2017 recruits.

The addition of Brown would make this Crean's third best class recruited at Indiana, per 247's rankings.

As a refresher its good to watch this :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5bfM1dxJG4

You get to see him take it to Thon a few times. Bruce Brown looks to be a player that has a high motor is and competing on both sides of the ball the entire game. 

[BtownBanner6 1,298]

I really like the backcourt duo Of him and Cujo. Brown seems to be the high motor drive while cujo shoots a little better from deep.

@jerrymeyer247: Love the physical & competitive game of Bruce Brown. IU been on him longest & hardest & in w family. Miami w bigger need for him.

Well 1 of those didn't work out, so hopefully this turns out to be top 2 in actuality. 

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

@jerrymeyer247: @AlexNicoson22 Could go either way but I think IU has the edge. A lot of uncertainty though.

Man, this kid is relentless in attacking the rim. Reminds me very much of a Russel Westbrook type PG. And after an IU training regiment in the offseason??? Watch out for BB.

 

Hope Wednesday goes well for us. The momentum is building!

2 notes from that video.

Very good with his left hand. Willing to drive both sides.

Needs to be careful with his elbows when driving. Those things are weapons/offensive fouls.

[Seeking6 33]

Seems a little odd. Last week it was Spring announcement and boom Davis picks us. Cujo signs...Uncle Mo on our side...my hunch is that our staff is coming from a different standpoint this week.

 

Basically we want you, have shown that we want you....but we can't wait until Spring. 

 

However it happens Brown will bring a defensive minded top guard who can play any guard position we want. Plus he visits Purdue and cancels them within 24 hours of leaving is a little nice too. Strong class. Now it's time to swing Schwarber deep and go for Thon or Alkins.

[Brass Cannon 24,064]

If hes serious about playing PG I don't see how he can pick Miami.  I doubt Newton is going pro and hes going to be stiff competition for that role next year.  Who would he have to beat out here?  Newkirk and Cujo not meaning to insult either guy but we offer him a much easier path to meaningful playing time and a much better chance at a NC

Meyer also noted that BB's mom is pushing IU...listen to your momma kid.

@jerrymeyer247: @UMassRecruiting multiple sources indicate that his mother really likes Indiana.

It's a proven fact: Mom's love Indiana. Crean has a way with moms.

Nailed it perfectly! Definitely reminds me of Russ's playing style
