To my surprise I couldn't find a thread for Gibbs-Lawhorn. Feel free to merge if I missed it. In my opinion the No. 1 PG in-state in 2023, probably by a wide margin. Talked to him yesterday: https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-recruiting-2023-guard-dra-gibbs-lawhorn-talks-freshman-season-and-recruiting/ More background here. Same high school as Rob Phinisee, teammates with his brother Joe Phinisee. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-recruiting-class-of-2023-names-to-know-in-state-guard-dravyn-gibbs-lawhorn/

It was one of the more competitive AAU games that I have watched recently, especially for tipping at around 9 AM. Both teams were playing some defense and making hustle plays. Fun little IU related tidbit -- No. 22 on the Indiana Elite team is Stu Robinson's son. Talked to Stu and his son yesterday. Amir Robinson is just an incoming sophomore but he is built like a Big Ten linebacker. Stu and Mike Roberts were on Knight's staff together at Texas Tech, so that recruitment, if it evolves, will be handled between those two.

We haven't rally had any storms lately, so I've been watering my tomatoes daily. Tomatoes in containers need more water than those in the ground. Have been hoping for some rainy days - though not plant damaging ones like you guys are seeing! I did notice a few days ago that some of our cherry tomatoes are starting to turn colors. Behold the color red for the first time this season!

Braden Smith gives me that “tough Indiana kid” vibe embodied in a guy like Tom Coverdale. Ranking is irrelevant. We win with those guys.

Was a good video. Wish they guarded each other more. Lawhorn has pretty elite speed. Has more Lander then Phinisee to his game. That said it was pretty disappointing to not see them force him to his left. Clearly he can get to the rim that way but usually a cross over and then back to his right. Smith looked the part of a pg. nice ability on pick n roll to find his roller and definitely strong with both hands. Elite shooter that kid. We could use that. I see he has grown but still think he could use more size to help him with his athleticism. They definitely have room to improve. Be interesting to watch over the next couple years.

Gotta love a kid who, says.... "I've been working on my defense" To add to what TDH posted for us. During this pandemic.... Lawhorn had been working out with Rob P.

Here are highlights from the Smith / Gibbs-Lawhorn matchup yesterday at Westfield too. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/video-watch-braden-smith-2022-and-dra-gibbs-lawhorn-2023-go-head-to-head/

Somehow I got cut on the shin...LOL. BTW, I did commercial metal siding and roofing for 15 years...got the scars to prove it.

I said I would never roof again...front porch repair.

Tank Espalin from Orange County. For those who cheer for IU baseball.....this is really, really big. Elite, elite level player.

Huge pickup tonight for Hoosiers

Well I found 5 - 4”x6”’s and enough other pieces to at least get a corner started. Per my usual method I started digging the holes by hand. Since I’m totally NOT “Bought into” this project I quickly became bored and day dreamed of happily going to the liquor store. Just then it hit me. A neighbor told me some months ago, he’s got a one man powered auger. In the UTV I lept and off I went. 43 cc’s of redneck amazement soon began and what would have been 2 hours, was complete in 7 minutes. Why am I the last to learn these new tricks? I’ve since ordered one, 110cc’s!!! ( I may find oil) and turned on 4 new projects that I wanted, but didn’t want to dig the holes for. Now kill this plague and sell me some freakin lumber already!

Good video. That would have been a fun matchup to watch. Both players look really, really good. Thanks for posting that.

Smith and Gibbs-Lawhorn both look really good to me. Nice thing about the video is that it is not just a highlight video - 12 minute video includes mistakes/missed shots.

I have the same drill. Straighten out that flag!

First I’ve heard of this kid. He is really well spoken in the interview for a 15 year old kid. Regarding his answer on who he grew up rooting for IU or Purdue - really smart answer. He was in a tough spot - if he says one or the other that team’s fanbase would pencil him into the scholarship grid and the other team’s fanbase would cross him off the list.

So Braden and Thornton in 22 and this one in 23. Or shoot should we start asking about reclassifying? Haha....obviously Archie is certain to never have our PG position short on talent.

3 newly adopted mousers here at Rancho Rico. Tillie, Toby, and Tabby...

so excited you came to post it man!!!

Yes sir. but... this is 2020.

Southport menards only place I could find them

I posted the above a little earlier in the thread.

I'd have to go back and study but I remember how the team was passed down was to avoid estate taxes....and there's roughly 15-20 ownership stakes in play but Virginia has controlling voting interest. When she passes that seems to go to George I would assume but don't know. Trust me I'd love new ownership. People here in Indy bang on Irsay for many things but I'd die for a guy like him and his daughters to be in charge of my team.

I've heard similar and your question is right on target. In addition to what you describe, on top of the in-school days, there will be students/families who elect to keep children homes (underlying conditions, for example). So teachers will have to have on-line prepared essentially every day unless there is some special mechanism in place to keep that off their plate. Just seems like - while having "normal" classes/school is what everyone would prefer - under the circumstances it's so complicated it will just end up being counter productive.

Growing up in Indiana, we had a saying : "knee high by the Fourth of July." However, with the advances in modern agriculture, I understand that saying is no longer applicable.

Honestly, I used saved seeds from a grocery store tomato in my hydroponic system and it was phenomenal. all the defects were breed out of it, just as a skilled farmer from 100 yrs ago would do.

As an avid fisherman I am always concerned about the weather. So I made this simple "weather station" a few weeks back. It is made from an old canoe paddle I had and some hardware that consisted of a thermometer, hygrometer(humidity), and barometer that I had to purchase.

So decided to remodel the house starting with the living room floor. Tore out the carpet, and installing laminate flooring. Progress pic, really thought I'd get more done today but didnt anticipate subfloor prep.

I was at Carter lumber Noblesville 2 or 3 days ago and I heard them tell a guy no treated lumber till July.
