(2016) PF De'Ron Davis to IU

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

I've always said without Davis this class is a bust. I suppose if we pulled 3 upsets to get 5 stars maybe I'd reconsider but really I feel Davis is that important. Plus if he backs away from us that's a terrible signal to everybody else.

I love to make gigantic assumptions about recruiting as well.

How bout we stay on topic or at least if you are gonna mock me have the courage to call out something specific you disagree with. Just a thought.

Without Davis we have no real talented size coming in next year. You can have all the wings in the world ain't going to help you win without front court talent and depth. Plus he was supposed to be a virtual lock if he goes elsewhere it tells other recruits what he thinks of our program.

Considering McClain was the recruiting lead for DD, and we're still doing very well with him, I'd say there's no reason to fret. Also, one recruit cannot break a class as large as the one we will bring in. I disagree with your entire statement and general view of recruiting.

De'Ron Davis will take his official visit to Indiana this weekend, Overland High School coach Danny Fisher confirms. #iubb

[NoahW35 459]

Would rather have his last visit and have him at Hoosier Hysteria, but maybe the staff is confident they can get a commitment this weekend?

[Prilla the Thrilla 158]

With no other officials set, I really hope we can seal the deal this weekend. I'm pretty sure he was on an unofficial during last years Hoosier Hysteria (is that right?) so he knows what goes on, etc.

It would be nice to land two quality commits on two consecutive weekends.

I wonder if the CuJo commit has any influence at all on this. We have to be more appealing now for Davis knowing that he has a good pg to dish to him.

Davis is integral to having a balanced team next year. We saw last year the folly of not having a legit set of big men on the roster. If we were recruiting other PFs then Davis wouldn't be such an integral piece but we have essentially put all our eggs in one basket. We have 1 hope for a balanced offense and defense next year Davis.

We can get all the guards in the world but this isn't the looney toons where we can just have gelon stand on Cujos shoulders. We need Davis

Don't we have other forwards on this team? I am all for extremism but even this goes a little far. If we have to depend on him being "the man" as a freshman then we are probably in worse trouble than your scenario.

Fwiw, IU did pick up 2 CB picks for Davis today

[swatford 1,235]

Davis this weekend, Bridges the next weekend, and call it a class for 2016.

Looks like we technically have 2 to fill, but 4 if Troy and Jimmy do leave early.

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,975]

yep thanks, so a minimum of 4 spots and likely 6 in reality.  4 are open, 1 or 2 from NBA/Pro, and always a transfer potential.

 

1.Gelon

2.Cujo

3.Kegler/Bridges

4.Brown/Alkins

5.DeRon Davis

6. Save this spot for Thon or someone like that.

 

Things could be looking WAY up if we can pull off this feat.

[Stuhoo 79,786]

I suppose it's possible that JBJ comes back, but the chances of Troy Williams being back for his senior year are extremely, very, really really small.

[Alford Bailey 12,356]

Get this done already.

[AKHoosier 6,747]

I immediately went to weather.com to check Bloomington's forecast this weekend, and it's supposed to 80 degrees and not a cloud in the sky.  Plenty of chances to see IU's finest assets this weekend :D

[Hoosier DaDa 2,165]

My birthday is the 27th. I can't think of a better present then DD committing.
