(2016) SG Bruce Brown to Miami

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,740]

Sorry for sidenote.

Also of note, Hoosier Faithful is making it very hard for Crean to use Tim Prillers scholarship. Interesting conundrum there IMO.

I *highly* doubt that matters.

@strauzer: @Vec18 I think it's close but he's going to IU

This is from a Sb nation Miami writer. I'd say we are looking good

I agree that we seem to be in the drivers seat, but you never know. I've been hoping to add BB to this class. Can't wait to see what happens!

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,740]

One of my faves of the class. I like his grittiness. Think TB as a guard. We have lacked grittiness for a long time. Big reason why we lost to the CUSE. Weren't tough enough.

[HoosierTrav 7,619]

If we do indeed land BB, I will be extremely pleased. Add one of Thon/Rawle, and I'm seriously geeked for the next season. This would be the perfect counter punch to the initial punch by the MSU Spartans. We only have to deal with Miles Bridges for a season and I like our roster when you consider who we likely return.

Clearly took his official visit to Purdue just to tell them in person he was coming to kick their ass with some of his closest friends next season.

When does the early signing period end??

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

I believe on the 19th, but unsure.

18th

I get the vibe Indiana is in a good place with Bruce Brown. Decision 48 hours away.

I love the idea of targeting the high to mid 4 star guys because a lot of them will stay past their freshman year. I would take 3-4 high to mid level 4 star sophomores vs. 3-4 5 star freshman more often than not. Seems like a logical recruiting strategy.

Then, throw in an occasional 5 star one and done as icing on the cake.

Cheers to BB! See you on Wednesday!

Plus its one we can win right now with enough work. 

[Alford Bailey 12,249]

Wow. Thought we were waiting til spring on this one. This would be huge. Top 30 guard with toughness.

[HoosierTrav 7,619]

I can't say it enough. Bruce Brown is truly a spectacular defender. He's an absolute game changer on that end. He's no slouch offensively either. It's just not many talk about his offensive game due to the fact that his defensive ability is the most glaring. He's 5 star on that end IMO.

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,740]

Of the utmost importance.

Let us NOT forget Marni Mooney is following Bruce Brown. Seems to be the Seal of the Deal.

I don't think we need defensive players though. I mean, I've never seen us play defense so that doesn't seem like a good fit.

Like a walker on a wheelchair basketball team.

Is that because we are opposed to it, or simply because we have had defensive liabilities at the guard spots.  Yogi can't grow 3 inches and JBJ clearly doesn't want to play D.  Brown and hopefully Alkins wouldn't have those problems.

Pretty sure that was a joke.

Chatter is still sounding good on Brown---even from Miami sources AND we have a Marni follow----like our chances.

 

Brown's a steal--- like a 4.5 star---that's a combination of a 4 star offensively and 5 star defensively!

 

Sign him up!
