That's a great way to piss off high school coaches, kids, and parents. Amen!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I encourage you to take some time to be thoughtful in your comments. I have never understood why people put down young men that have been asked to and chose to come to our school. I trust our staff. When u miss on your big targets and get a kid like Priller people bash the coach and the kid. I dont get it. DMB woukd u be ok if we turn down Franklin miss on all but TJD. you would be the first one griping about our recruiting strategy. Getting the supporr if the high school coaches in state is paramount. You dont mess that up by pulling ships from kids that will benefit our program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Guy Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 I’ll say it until I’m blue in the face. Recruiting this state is of utmost importance. It’s a basketball hotbed. IU doesn’t deserve to be good if they don’t take advantage of it. I love that Archie is staying true to his word. The fact that he’s sticking to his guns shows recruits he’s real. That’s a very important part of building relationships. I hope Franklin picks IU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwtaylor1055 Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Archie knows what the state of Indiana produces, he coached next door at Dayton for some time. He's putting pressure IMO on the recruits inside the state saying we want you, but we cannot wait until a last minute decision(example late spring) so we will recruit outside of the state if we do not have an answer that puts the coaching staff say in a uncomfortable place/stance .

If you not get the kids from our state as the IU coach you are in trouble. The blue bloods will get them. I know the things high school coaches share.

Would you rather have a junior in Smith or one of these freshman like Stewart who might only be here a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 12 hours ago, CoachSS said: As I said previously, I think he makes for a wonderful 3-year player (Soph-Sr) that can be a key contributor in time. Given the dearth of talent he would be around at a school like Indiana, he could really flourish as a guy who isn’t option 1A on defensive scouting reports. Always liked him as a prospect. We’ll see what he says tomorrow. He is probably one of those players we see play at Xavier or Butler that we wish that would come to IU because of how they play.

There are several on the roster who might not get better this year or who might decide they want more playing time and leave. Of course at this point no one would want to lose Smith.

IU Scott Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 12 hours ago, dbmhoosier said: I'm sure all that's true. I just thought after 2017 and 18 that we were done taking role players and would be taking instant impact prospects. We need to land about 3 top 50 guys every year if we want to compete with UK, KU, Duke, UNC, etc. Totally disagree with you because you can't have a roster full 5 star players and keep them happy. You need a couple of role players who won't come in and expect to be a major contributor right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutter Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 I would love to see franklin cimmit to the hoosiers today. Archie offered him a scholarship that in itself tells me he values a franklin commitment. Coachss has repeatedly stated he is high on franklin. Other than iuwins0708 and ephul most if not all of you have opinions but no solid information on franklin or any other prospect. I for one am going to really enjoy the ride with the hoosiers and Archie and his staff. POP FOR THE HOOSIERS FRANKLIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 I'm not dialed in and certainly don't have any of the contacts that some have. What I do have is 40 years of watching hoops and about 25 years of following IU hoops recruiting. What Archie has been able to accomplish in 17 months of recruiting is nothing short of phenomenal in my opinion....given the circumstances and given the competition in recruiting. I'm not saying blind allegiance time...but I think this staff does deserve the benefit of the doubt on who they see fit and how those verbals come about. Franklin, Newman, anyone....as long as we get TJD and Brooks does anything else really matter? To me it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 To me the only player I would call a must get is TJD. I have only seen Brooks a couple of times on TV but was not totally impressed with his game. I hope he decides to come to IU but will not lose sleep if he chooses elsewhere either.
