  1. And re: Kaufman, his HS coach is encouraging Trey to take his time and make the right decision. Visit some schools and just be sure of everything. Keep in mind, his HS coach is an IU fan. So he’s not trying to prevent TK from coming to IU. He’s trying to do right by the kid. That’s what good coaches do.
  2. I might be wrong, but I don’t think so. If I remember correctly, he won’t even be 19 by next year’s draft. I think you have to be 19 AND one year removed from HS.
  3. No formal offer is what I heard, but also heard none is needed. The Miller family knows if he called Archie today and said, “I want to come to IU”, then a scholarship was there for him.
  4. I’m not CoachSS, but I don’t think JS leaving changes much for next season. The staff “could” kick the tires on a player if it’s exactly what they’re looking for, but they’ll already be plenty deep (11 scholarship players). That’s more than enough, IMO. My hope is we stay around 9 deep in the rotation.
  5. You have solid players commit versus putting all your eggs in one basket and coming out with players like Grant Gelon. And sometimes players get “offers” that aren’t necessarily committable, if that makes sense. Not saying this is a specific example of that, but it’s happened before.
  6. No. It means we better have a backup plan(s) if the priorities choose another school. 🙂
  7. Ok, let me clarify. It’s less about the location/ease of schedule. It’s more about his Uncle basically saying “no basketball”....period....if he had less than a B. Sounds like you have a pulse on the situation, so I’m only sharing what I heard. May not be accurate at all.
  8. Gotcha, good info. But this still makes you think and go back to the original question - which is, how it ok to drive almost 2 hours for a basketball workout when you’ve been “disciplined” due to grades and aren’t allowed to workout with your local team right in your hometown? Just seems odd.
  9. There ya go. Yeah, I wasn’t 100% sure to be honest. Heard one person say it was BSouth and another say it was in Bloomington, but not BSouth.
  10. I watched Ostrom after one of Trey’s games. All the coaches recruiting TK were sort of circled around one area near the locker room. Ostrom was there, a UofL asst, and a Xavier asst. The other coaches just stood there with blank stares and didn’t engage TK’s mom in a conversation at all. What was Ostrom doing? He was laughing it up with his mom, playfully messing with her younger son, etc. You can tell there is a level of comfort with Ostrom and the family. Do I feel that alone will sway TK to IU? Not necessarily. But, it’s notable.
  11. If IU were smart, they would do all they could to make him feel valued.
  12. I think he meant top paid, in general. Not just on our staff.
  13. Enough can’t be said for how important Ostrom is to this staff. He’s been the key piece for several important commits in the Archie era. He does a terrific job of knowing who the key players are in a recruitment and being laser focused on building those relationships early. If he’s the lead recruiter on a kid who lives in Indiana and that kid tells the media that IU is recruiting them the hardest, the odds are pretty favorable for IU as he’s been able to close most of those kids.
  14. Agreed. He’s got a lot of potential. He’s a legit high major prospect and IU definitely knows who the kid is.
  15. This one is interesting. Locally, the word was his Uncle (who I “think” is his guardian) said he cannot get below a B, or else no basketball. Rumor was he got a C and therefore, no basketball until that grade was brought up. Sounds good, right? Everyone said, “wow, good for his Uncle for stressing academics!” Only problem with this is, he was shown having workouts in Bloomington (presumably with the Bloomington South team) during the time he was being disciplined for grades. So then, everyone started questioning, “He can’t play with his local school team due to grades, but it makes sense for him to be allowed to drive almost 2 hours to play and workout with a different team?” Something doesn’t quite add up.
