I definitely respect your info and know you have great sources just always assumed it would be flip flopped. But do think we get both. Both are ready, wouldn’t shock me if it were flip flopped. Either way it’s great to be Hoosiers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonHershey Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Would there still be room for Ramsey? It would be great to have another shooting guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Guy Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Not surprised if Newman doesn’t visit. Franklin, Keion and TJD. For the fourth, either Ramsey or Stewart. Can’t go wrong either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That apparently is what is being passed along at this time. Like I said I didn’t figure both would be a possibility. Well I guess in 4 years we will know who made the right choice .

The one thing I like about this is commitment is that it gives Archie a lot of ammo in future recruiting battles in state. That is if you snooze on an IU offer you might end up in W. Lafayette for 4 years. That would give me nightmares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooter Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Welcome to IU Armaan! Those who have seen him play - anyone willing to summarize his game? Or point me elsewhere if there's a good scouting report out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBQ Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 I think Purdue has used all of the standard excuses already: -IU had to have paid him -It was probably playing time. Our guards are loaded and IU has MAC quality guards. -Who cares. PU owns IU and their dusty banners. (Our Big Ten championships from the 40s are relevant though.)

Congrats on the pickup but those are lame excuses. I do think playing time was used by IU to get him to Bloomington though even though he would’ve had plenty of opportunity assuming Carsen goes pro after this year just like Romeo will be gone.

SpiderMonkey Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Love this pick up. I have thought Armaan has been under rated for a long time. I think he is going to be a great 3 or 4 year guy and become a fan favorite by his sophomore season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda wonder if they were playing him out of position so Newman could play SG thus the beef between them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotIThatLives Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 On 9/5/2018 at 9:47 AM, Reacher said: "One of the top mid range and off the dribble scorers in the class of 2019" "By the standards of today's college game, Franklin is a totally functional and useful guard. What that means is that he's probably more of a natural two guard but he handles the ball well enough to play some at the point and he's big enough that you could play him as a small forward in a small ball lineup. Franklin is adept at creating his shot off the dribble, has a great frame for finishing around the rim and he is a good pull-up jump. shooter and mid range scorer. Defensively he has good effort, good awareness and he's likely to be a steady performer who gradually develops into a valuable and consistent upperclassman." I was in the Newman / Ramsey camp but would be fine with Franklin. Agree that Archie wants an extra ball handler. Bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKIM01 Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 "During a holiday tournament last winter, when Cathedral faced Tindley, Franklin volunteered to guard Purdue signee Eric Hunter. He doubled his talented opponent up, holding Hunter to 15 points while scoring 30 of his own." I love hearing that...another LOL @ the Smellermakers.
