What are the rules on visits? How many official visits? Unofficial visits? What's the difference? Rules change after a player commits/signs?

5 official visits , unlimited unofficial visits while on campus. When recruiting a recruit only 7 contacts during an academic year. After recruit signs LOI there is no limit on contacts

Thank you.

Wife and I were talking about how he's attending every home game and were curious how.  $$$$

Appears university can give 3 tickets to game even on unofficial visits.

I don't see Morgan's name in any of the mock drafts I've seen luckily.. However, over the last week or two, he's been lighting it up, so that's sure to draw the attention of NBA scouts.

I haven't completely given up hope on De'ron Davis. I think if he returns healthy, Morgan stays, Phinisee can come in and run the offense, Smith makes a jump, and Archie can bring in a ready-to-play guard (Romeo), this is a team to be reckoned with in the B1G and nationally next season.

So there has to be a reason that scouts perceive him where they do.

What are Phinisee's perceived weaknesses?  I assumed it was athleticism, but when I watched some highlight videos I was impressed by how easily he could get up and dunk.

Lacks elite speed and quickness?

I think part of the problem is he didn't have an impressive AAU summer in part due to some injuries.  Also, he played on the Indiana Elite AAU team which I don't think gets the exposure that many of the 5-star and very high 4-star AAU teams get.

Explosiveness the ability to beat his man off the dribble was one of the things some said about his weaknesses

Getting up there with two hands for the dunk and making it look easy.

One of Phinisee's best qualities from my admittedly limited viewings of him is that he is really clever finishing at the rim. Uses the rim well. Great stutter dribble. Finishes with either hand, and does so from some awkward angles that look really tough to block. When he gets strong enough to finish consistently through contact, I would think he will put  a lot of bigs on the bench with fouls and probably have more than his share of and 1's.

The thing I just realized about Phinisee is how much he already cares about IU.

He clearly gives a damn, evidenced by how many times he's been to Assembly Hall this year.  He would have played yesterday if given the chance.

That's going to matter big time.

He has said that one of the reasons he is attending so many games is to get a handle on CAM's offense. He wants to be as prepared as possible when he gets to campus. Can't get enough guys like that!

Anderson has been to a lot of games too. We will need his shooting if he’s ready year 1.

I was talking with a friend at work today. He was telling me that his dad went to watch Phinisee play and reported back that Phinisee is a fantastic player. We are going to love him as IU. The reason I bring this up is that his dad played basketball at Ohio St back in the day and keeps up with high school and big ten basketball still. So it’s not just a random guy watching and giving an impression.

Another consideration is that typically the ranking philosophy is about long-term projection; e.g. the #1 player in a class is the player with the greatest potential + likelihood of stardom on the highest level.

Thus ranking ~100th perhaps is less about Phinisee’s success or impact at IU, and more about his chances of making an NBA roster or whatever.
