So much for Markus Howard it would seem

[Alford Bailey 12,424]

Interesting as usual. So who runs the show next year?

Markus Howard forced us into....

 

 

A great commit!!!!!!!

Believe none of these guys (Green, Cujo, Howard) are true PG's. All more combos

Rock, paper, scissors!

We tend to play multiple guys on the ball:

 

Rojo, Newkirk, Green, Cujo, JB2 if healthy

A competition for position is a good dilemma.

[HoosierRob 1,042]

Anybody really know much on this kid? I see he's pretty low rated to have the high major offers that he has?

[LIHoosier 26,773]

@Justin_Albers: I can confirm that Devonte Green will commit to Indiana later this afternoon. 2016 point guard. I've always thought he was underrated. #iubb

Oh, NOW it's official. ;)

I'd help y'all out but I don't have Cablevision so I don't have News 12. Awesome twitter handle, btw.

Classic Albers not understanding boundaries or timing.  This kid didn't schedule an announcement so some hack of a journalist could steal his thunder.  Then again, Albers probably jumped the gun like he always does.

Looks like we may have another commit...

 

‏@AdamZagoria: 2016 G Devonte Green headed to Indiana later today , sources tell @SNYtv. Iona, K-State were also involved.

 

‏@AdamZagoria: Green's official announcement comes  at 5:20 pm.

 

‏@AdamZagoria: Tom Crean and Chuck Martin had recently watched Green, younger brother of Danny

 

 

Iona was only in the mix because Iona's coach coached Devonte's big brother, Danny.

 

Devonte also played AAU and is friends with Mr. Thomas Bryant. 

 

Devonte was at the Wisky game: Hova, mdn, Treesh...WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US!!!!!

I thought I saw it in the game thread??? I could be making that up.

I was drunk. Not a good excuse but it was $2 Tuesday at Kilroys

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,963]

Not upset about this. I'd say we are now officially out of the Eron Gordon and Rawle Alkins Sweepstakes and Crean and Co. are planning on coaching next years team.

Buckle up fans and enjoy the ride.

Based solely on what I've read about the two of them, I strongly prefer Devonte's game to Eron's for IUBB.

 

Solid build, and point guard skills:

From all indications the interest between IU and Gordon has been tepid and I've always viewed Alkins as a really really realy looooonnnnnnnggggg shot.

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,963]

I agree completely. Green over Gordon for me too. Alkins is a different type of player. I like this signing, just wish we had space/PT for a Alkins or Thon.

Adding Green will move our class rank up to 16, displacing PSU.
