One guy that seems to have reshape his body since the college season here at the #AdidasNations? Indiana's Thomas Bryant. Built like a house

With 4 5 star players in our backyard and coming of an outright BIG10 championship the expectations for this recruiting class should be sky high. And likely are. It seems the majority are ok to miss the Indiana talent if we get the talent somewhere. Including me.

My flavor of the day is the same

Gak

Justin Smith

Durham

Waters

Still hoping to get that legit 5 star instant impact maker somewhere though. My predicted class above does not offer that.

Solid list, one that I'd still be happy with but I'm going all in...

- Gak

- Wilkes

- Durham

- Waters

If we don't get Wilkes or Scruggs I'll be shocked. Even if we get a solid class consisting of out of state players it won't be the same. If we don't get Wilkes we get Scruggs and then Tucker on the wing. I think Chuck hauls in a few recruits.

Because Thomas Bryant participated in this Adidas event on the college roster, I'll put his event stats in this post. 

 

Sunday night's games from the Adidas Global Nations event.

Deng Gak (Team Asia Pacific):  1 pt. on 0 for 3 FG's; no 3's; 1 of 2 FT's; 3 reb; 0 asst; 1 TO; 2 stls; 1 blk in only 9 min. of court time.

Tyler Herro (Team Lillard):  5 pts. on 2 of 7 FG's; 1 of 3 on 3's; no FT's; 3 reb; 1 asst; 0 TO; 1 stl; 0 blk in 22 min.

Their respective teams were in the consolation bracket.

Tonight at 8:00 ET Mo Bamba and Nick Weatherspoon (Team Rose) play Team Africa for 3rd place and at 10:00 ET Hamidou Diallo and Trevon Duval (Team Harden) take on Team Canada for the championship.   Both of these games will be televised on ESPNU.

I've seen one tweet to the effect that Weatherspoon will not play because of an injury.

[HoosierAloha 30,090]

It seems s though they stacked Team Harden...

[WayneFleekHoosier 49,531]

Sticking with Gak, Smith, Durham, Waters.

Would like: Bamba, Wilkes, Chaundee Brown, Durham.

CB interesting today.

Bozich picks Wilkes and Waters to IU. Wilkes with a couple UNC picks from others.

Jerry Meyer seconds the Waters to IU pick.

No offense to those recruits but I think we need OG to stay to truly compete that year. 

[HoosierRob 1,042]

I thought it was kinda strange bozich picking IU as well. Maybe he knows something?

I'm feeling Wilkes and Waters to IU as well. I have zero inside sources but I'm just not seeing Wilkes bouncing somewhere else.

I don't think Bozich is that connected. I do think he's been around a bit a sees how the process works.
