[MikeRoberts 7,030]

Great pickup!

[Kepner 1,261]

Did Davis sign his LOI too?

Yes he did immediately after putting on the IU hat

But were not lottery picks, were they?

[OliviaPope40 6,532]

HECK YES!

Signed. Sealed. Delivered.

[KelleyHoosh 2,263]

Fantastic pick up. Can't be understated. Goes a loooong way in making us more competitive come 2016. 

 

Pull Brown/Alkins/Thon in the spring and we can really get some momentum rolling for the future

Signed. Sealed. Delivered.

I could be wrong, but that's not an LOI is it? Or is there not a uniform style of letter, it's just something with a signature on it?

I mean with Cody it depends on what you look at. I know some viewed him as a late lottery coming out as a freshman, others late first. Then again no one thought he was a top 5 pick...... most still don't

If TB stays we will have 4 Bigs with some skills. OG and Juwan.

I was gonna say. I'd never expect that is what a LOI actually looked like

I was surprised on draft night.

I don't think that's his official paper but I'm pretty sure that he signed a LOI because they just kept saying lets make it official. I could be wrong though

Welcome aboard Mr Davis.

Now I can relax and get back to matters at hand.Putting venison in the freezer..

 Go Hoosiers!

[KelleyHoosh 2,263]

I think the plan for OG is to transition into a wing. Still, more front court depth than we've had in a while as OG could obviously offer some play there

Nice pick up!

[Kepner 1,261]

Cody was a lottery pick. Vic was a lottery pic. Marcus Smart was a project high lottery pick after his freshman year and chose to come back. It happens every year that players choose to come back after great seasons. Its not just set in stone that players will leave after a great year. Heck last year Kris Dunn from Providence was considered by all as a lottery pick and he surprised everyone by deciding to go back to school. Jacob Poeltl from Utah was projected as a mid first rounder by all the draft experts and he decided to come back. There are multiple examples

With De'Ron Davis in the fold, Indiana now has the No. 15-ranked recruiting class in the country. Joins ESPN 100 Curtis Jones, Grant Gelon.

[Hoosiers219 178]

In all likelihood, the De'Ron Davis commit means that in the 2016 2017 season the Indiana Hoosiers will have a front corner of Thomas Bryant and De'Ron Davis. This is without question the best frontcourt that Tom Crean has had his disposal since he took the reins for the Hoosiers.

Now, with Bryant and Davis, doesn't this make Brown and even Alkins want to sign a NLI with the Hoosiers. Think about a 2016 class with Brown and Alkins and I'm not talking scholarship numbers, it would provide a tremendous class with little to no drop off. We would be reloading rather than rebuilding as they like to say. Reloading is what needs to be the norm. Strong showing this year and strong recruiting class keeps the momentum in our favor. Note to players, staff and fans alike: lockdown and win!

[MikeRoberts 7,030]

Better than Zeller and Watford?

[Miller'sTheMan 1,652]

Imagine if we got Alkins and Blackmon/Bryant stay another year??

 

Johnson

Alkins

Blackmon

Davis
