2016 Wish List

[Brass Cannon 24,942]

Agreed. I think Cujo is closest to popping for IU and could on that aug 28th visit. If he doesn't then, and makes it to gtown on Sept 3rd, idk. I think the interesting thing here is probably the most talented player IU is recruiting in Miles Bridges visits that weekend with teammate, Cujo. Early reports certainly suggested MSU bc of proximity but that may be a bit overblown. UK seems to be in the drivers seat for Bridges and he does have visits scheduled for both schools after his IU visit. I've said this before though, a visit can change everything in a recruitment. Once IU gets these guys on campus they really do a great job and could turn the recruitment around. Between that and TB recruiting Bridges and Cujo, i think it's a little early to look at Bridges and say MSU or UK. Now THAT would turn this class around.

Mario Kegler's recruitment is going quickly. Quick is good for Crean. It has the Troy Williams feel to it.



Brown is more of a wild card from my point of view simply because I don't know a ton about his recruitment but really love his game.

Davis came out and said he is down to Arizona, IU and Texas. I've heard a bunch of different things here. Arizona has not been shy about the fact that Davis is not their first option. That doesn't mean they are taking off the heat, but have heard he is aware of that fact. Texas I'm not totally sure about but just seems to be IU and Zona due to the lack of Texas chatter.

Thon, who in the world knows.

Hmm im just spitballing here, who else?

 

Kegler would be huge I feel. Him in addition to Brown, Cujo, Davis would be a solid class.  With Xavier Simpson giving us a true PG or if Thon is an option go with him.  If we get Simpson a big has to be the priority for 2017

IU seems to be right there with all those guards you mentioned but hard to imagine Simpson, Brown, Cujo, AND Gelon. Just an odd start to the class when you're recruiting, and recruiting well, other options at the position. Clearly IU values him as an elite shooter.

As for the big in '17, IU leads for Malik Williams but others are beginning to get involved. Would have to think IU hits the visit limit for his junior year.

Would love to know Creans wish list for 2016. Who is he really focused on or does it change daily?

That truly is the $64 question.  It does seem like the proverbial throw mud at the wall and see what sticks.  Random, haphazard -- it's hard to discern any pattern or see any consistency in our recruiting effort.

Weekly, not daily.   :no:

I feel the most confident about Cujo and BB, the rest is kind of up in the air. Is it reasonable to assume that we get at least 2 out of Kegler, Davis, Alkins, Bridges, Maker? Those 4 plus Gelon and someone else would give us a really solid class imo, but how certain are we that we can really lock these guys up?

Idk, that'd be a really good class. Have to believe there are some guys IU is not currently recruiting who will be Hoosiers, for better or worse.

@INPrep: Looks like 2016 G Eron Gordon of Cathedral (IN) will announce his decision this Saturday.

Crystal Ball still has IU at 92% Butler at 8%. Pap, weigh in here. Any recent movement on Gordon?

Bigger fish to catch in this class.

June 18th article in the Indianapolis Star in which he said that Butler was one of his top three but that was changing. He then named the list of five schools where he wanted to take an official visit. Indiana was one of them, Butler was not.

I think that Butler is a real possibility, and that Arizona State and LSU have a chance, but that Indiana is as likely a destination as any.

If we wouldn't have gotten Gelon already I would actually be fine if we got Gordon. But starting the class with 2 guys many people are iffy about (on different levels, Gordon is definitely talented) would be less-than-exciting.

I think gelon is a good find and could end up being really good. I still expect us to get maker.

He could be. I really don't know. But it's no secret that we're going to need some instant impact players coming in next year. I think we agree that Gelon is not that, and Gordon isn't either in my opinion, at least on the level that we will likely need. Thon would be fantastic, obviously.

Mesmer picked butler then 30 mins later changed it to lsu.
