Popular Post hoosierpap Posted December 2, 2014 Popular Post Posted December 2, 2014 THE KID ALWAYS WINS. BACK DOWN MOMMA BEAR, T-CUB IS GONNA BE A HOOSIER. Now I didn't say that. I just wouldn't use her words as anything more than her opinion. Remember, she had some negative things to say about UK, as well. East coast guys say Mom wants him at Syracuse but TB isn't sold. Mom's comments to the press throughout his recruitment seem to support that. I guess the question in this one is how much pull does Mom ultimately have? That I do not know. Maybe of note: That is sorta why after it was announced that TB would be coming back for HH I suggested that the key was to see if Mom was returning. That meant so much more than him roadtripping with a few of his buddies for a midnight madness event. TB was a bit under the weather and had a standardized test run later than he had thought IIRC so they never made it anyways... I know some think that cancellation of the visit was BS but that's not really my opinion. Bryant was pretty high on IU after that visit and was recruiting Bridges. Crean had TB deliver that offer, btw. Maybe thats been said idk scots07, ElectricBoogaloo, CR3AMnCR1MS0N and 8 others 11 Quote

Hurryin' Hoosiers Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Not sure why any recruit would touch Syracuse at this point with all of the infractions piling up. Of course, maybe the thought is the NCAA will do nothing again. JaybobHoosier, 323SGrant, scots07 and 2 others 5 Quote
BlueDevil Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Not sure why any recruit would touch Syracuse at this point with all of the infractions piling up. Of course, maybe the thought is the NCAA will do nothing again. Honestly to play devils advocate the same could be said for IU with the suspensions, alcohol related incidents, creans job security, and transfers. GloryDays and Geometry Hoosier 2 Quote
Hurryin' Hoosiers Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 I don't think our list is anywhere as long or as serious as Syracuse's list Candystriped 1 Quote
MartintheMopMan Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 I don't think our list is anywhere as long or as serious as Syracuse's list I think Crean's lack of job security is a bigger hurdle for recruits than anything at Syracuse. You don't commit somewhere when you don't know who you'll be playing for. Napleshoosier, 8bucks, WayneFleekHoosier and 1 other 4 Quote
WayneFleekHoosier Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Unless you think, hey it's IU, and likely the next Coach will be top notch/better than the current. Quote
WayneFleekHoosier Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 dang it, I got suckered into it again on the TBryant thread. sorry folks Hutch89 and JaybobHoosier 2 Quote
GloryDays Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Unless you think, hey it's IU, and likely the next Coach will be top notch/better than the current. You would think so but with our history eeeeeeeh maybe. WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote
MartintheMopMan Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Unless you think, hey it's IU, and likely the next Coach will be top notch/better than the current. dang it, I got suckered into it again on the TBryant thread. sorry folks It's OK. It's still pretty on topic. This is one of the biggest issues facing TB in his decision. His top two choices have a lot of uncertainty. I'm not surprised that he is waiting until the spring given that, by spring signing period he should know who he is (or isn't) playing for and/or the extent of Syracuse's issues. I don't know how he could make a decision before knowing these things, which means it's going to be a long long long winter until we find out. Syracuse's board is a mix on him right now. Some people super pessimistic that Kentucky offered, some people still sure that Syracuse has him. They totally discount Indiana because of his mom's comments. WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote

CampHoosier Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 We lost this guy weeks ago. Let's look at JUCOs and maybe a few under the radar Spring guys Quote
rebelhoosier848891 Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 I hope he was paying attention. Bryant had to enjoy seeing all that space Hanner and Holt had to roam around in tonight! scots07 and Napleshoosier 2 Quote
yogisballin Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Mom and TB are on different pages at this point. Hope so... Quote
rebelhoosier848891 Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 I felt like the commentators gave IU a lot of love tonight.....liked our offense---liked our guards----praised Hanner and Holt------had Yogi fever----loved Troy's athleticism---actually complimented our defense ----etc. That has to help our recruiting----hope Bryant was tuned in! scots07 and Napleshoosier 2 Quote
rebelhoosier848891 Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Didn't hurt us tonight that the Cuse got beat by a Big Ten team too! eljefe6, scots07, southsidehoosier and 1 other 4 Quote
