Welp.

@thebabc: Bruce Brown has narrowed it down to Indiana & Miami and plans to decide Wednesday (Nov 18) @BruceBrown11 https://t.co/L11rZHINjP

Announcing on Wednesday too!!!! Always loved this recruit.

Would be HUGE.

[Crimson and Cream 5,693]

Oh my, let's go!! Dominoes are really falling now. I'd be stunned if he's not a Hoosier.

[Never Daunted 398]

MOMENTUM.

The De'Ron commitment might be bigger than we all thought. If we land Brown, we are very solid for next year. And we might be headed toward pulling in someone else huge.

Come on down BB, join DD, GG, and CuJo!!

[KelleyHoosh 2,263]

How much of a threat is Miami here? 

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,692]

An athletic do everything guard. Can't go wrong here. I like the combo with Cujo too. They fit well.

Still think we can hunt Rawle. Must be convinced Blackmon is leaving IMO. Interesting development here.

CB is 89% IU, 11% Miami

Do you think Brown effectively ends our pursuit of Rawle? Personally I don't see how they fit on the court together but to be honest haven't watched much film 

[swatford 1,235]

Have to think the timing with the DD commit works in our favor.

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

A commitment from Brown puts our class at #9, right behind Miss State who is supposedly picking up another top-100 commitment from Ado.

nope it doesn't end it if Crean wants to run 3 guard sets and Blackmon leaves.

IF Blackmon leaves Crean could say.

Newkirk/BB. Best player gets more time.
Rob/Cujo. Same
Rawle. More guard time here.

If Blackmon doesn't leave and we get BB, probably won't be in Rawle sweepstakes. Imo

With BB, IU will have an excellent class that should prove very attractive to some highly sought after 5 stars that plan in spring. Any addition after BB, would be icing on the cake. Heck, I'm thrilled! After the questions regarding whether DD would go elsewhere, this is shaping up to be a very respectable class indeed.

No idea, but Jim Larranaga is a really good coach. I wouldn't count him out.

Right. The timing is of interest to me after everyone said he would wait til the spring. 

 

On one hand, IU adds Davis and Brown is convinced IU will be solid enough for him to join. 

 

On the other, UMass was thought to be the primary competition here. How did Miami shoot up the ranks so quickly? Theres a lot of appeal in that school and if he feels comfortable with Larranaga, I could see him pulling the trigger.

The Purdue visit was favorable for us, as suspected.

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

Corey Evans just picked Miami. Interesting.

hmm. Surprising indeed.

Maybe we need to fire up the "prepare for meltdown" thread. Jk.

[Hovadipo 52,785]

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'.
