I wish we could see the entire interview. What was said and shared sounds very promising, but was there more? I went to MikeWritesSports and that’s all that is shared. 

The next time I see an interview with KBJ I hope he’s wearing an Indiana Basketball shirt like TJD had on tonight.

I love me some IU “fans.” We’re a twisted bunch. We’re hoping a star player will go elsewhere because of grudges. That’ll fix the problem! Come to Btown Brooks, work your tail off and help make this

I love Mrs. Franklin.   India Franklin @indii5000 Sarita, ignore the chatter. I’ve been here before right before Armaan made his decision. True IU fans will wish you guys well no matter the

[This was actually from the Zeke Nnaji thread, but VO5 and others were referring to Keion so I've moved my response here.]   I've seen Keion play with his high school team, and in AAU.  I wi

Well the excerpt we got all but said "hell yeah I'm joining him at IU".

Have they only played two games? If so, then he’s averaging 35.5 points per game. Not too shabby. 

Last night's game was Brooks' fifth and thus far they are undefeated.  He's had 2 40-pt games, a 31-pt and a 23-pt. game.  Individual stats were never posted for the other game which was a 108-35 blowout so I doubt he played that many minutes.

Admittedly haven’t looked, but there would be 12 classes better than ours after adding KB?? Who else has two five stars already locked up?

With those rankings class size matters too.  With Brooks we'd only have 3, even if it's 2 5*s and a 4*.

Arizona, USC, Villanova, UK, Florida  have multiple 5 stars.

Yeah, I went and looked. I guess I don’t really understand the logic there. Example Michigan is ranked higher than us with two 4 star guys. Wouldn’t one five star and one four star be better than that?? Size shouldn’t matter either really. I mean, would you rather have two five star guys or 4 three star guys? I think quality is more impactful than quantity.

I've long had this opinion. It's part of the reason Crean was thought of as such a great recruiter. We had huge turnover and large classes.

It also fueled the whole "you can win championships without great recruiting ala Villanova." Villanova always recruited quality players but also had small class sizes.

Clemson in cfb is another example. Frequent classes ranked either outside the top 10 or just cracking it, yet they are a dominant force. Class quality with less attrition is huge.

The reason we will only be at 13 even with 2 five stars is because how low Franklin is ranked. Right now he’s ranked behind at least one person who can’t even play this season.

 

That's not totally correct. You could add two more armaan franklins and our ranking would improve.

Only having 3 is a big reason we would be at 13

You'd  think simple math would work. Total # of stars divided by # of players
