Thon Maker

[CR3AMnCR1MS0N 1,867]

All I hope is that if we do get him, he (hopefully) has a team-first attitude. Don't want 2013-14 all over again. Even with the ups and downs of this year, all our kids seem to be playing for each other and it's brought at least some degree of success... Even when Yogi bricks threes when down two with 10 seconds left

Yeah he tries to make it sound like he knows what he's talking about but honestly he probably has only watched us get blown out. I'm not saying we always do I'm saying he probably saw a game where we did.

I'm sorry, I don't think I've ever seen Crean use all his timeouts even down 20 to execute a play. Thats just silly. Am I wrong? 

thats the whole reason i posted this because i thought the same thing, it leads me to believe hes only watched a few games, which i dont mind because hes got so much going on for a young man. anyways youre are def right my man

From those quotes, it appears obvious that Thon has been following IUBB very closely.

 

SMH.

Hey it would be hard man, hes gotta be so busy.....I mean hes got some top level schools recruiting him, while still playing where he is now, thats gotta be tough

I would guess he is referring to the Louisville game. If he has both of us in final choices my bet is that he for sure caught that game. At least I hope that is which game he is referring to. I know a 20 point loss is never good, but I would much rather he watched that game than the Mich St or Purdue loss.

We wont get him. Best chance for a good center is a Grad Transfer. No 5 star big men are coming here. Creans offense scares them off.

You're right. I wouldn't want to be a lottery pick either.

This is just a thought but getting his commitment is a high risk, high reward type situation.
•I can see us landing him because the other schools back off. Bryant then cuts us off his list. Then Thon never plays in the candy stripes because the NCAA never grants him eligibility.
•Thon becomes a Hoosier because he wants to be a wing and Crean loves wings. IU hangs banner #6.

Need to focus our prayers over on the Bryant thread.

[alishedobbs 25]

The fact that he says he had hoped to visit, but has not made the effort, does not sound like he is seriously considering IU to me.

[LazOffTheBench 3,638]

It's hard to take IU seriously these days.

[bnkepner 1,509]

If you really follow whats going on with Maker, he does not sound like he is seriously considering college anymore as a whole. On top of all that, most colleges seem to be shying away from him as well. He hasn't had scouts showing up at his games anymore. He just played at La Lumiere within the last few weeks and reports were that no scouts showed up. Plus if you look at his stats from his last month of games or so…not looking good.

wow interesting on that last part, its just so hard to keep up with all these guys

[KelleyHoosh 2,263]

1) Maker is an eligibility nightmare

2) IU wouldn't be the school he chooses to go to

 

Wish him luck, personally I'll be crossing my fingers for Bryant

All the scouts are saying he is worth the risk but he is not as polished as highlight videos make him out to be. He has been struggling recently since playing against high competition.
