For me.... it is significant when I think back to Crean chasing elite talent, and never making the final three. At least with Archie, we are still in the hunt.

Like others, heard the Carton family has strong ties to a Michigan assistant coach. How hard do you think it’ll be to win that battle, SS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW_Hoosier Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 8 minutes ago, CoachSS said: Very hard to win any out-of-state 5* recruitment. The ties have been incredibly overblown in my opinion. Always good to know certain people at certain stops along the way of your journey. But, people have mentioned it like it is the most important part of his recruitment. Knowing someone who is pretty close to Carton I can tell you two things are most important in this recruitment and it isn't much different than a lot of recruitments: 1.) Development. 2.) Relationship with future teammates (from current team). Indiana has a very good chance here. Michigan has a very good chance here. I can't speak to Ohio State as I have yet to hear anything about #2 ^^^. I think Holtmann is a fine coach. If he weren't, they wouldn't be a finalist. Plain as that. How did OSU get involved? Seems like they came out of nowhere pretty late in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tougher to make it work logistically with parents' work schedules, distance, etc. The 3 finalists are his three best offers and he didn't want to leave other schools hanging as they get into the nuts and bolts of recruiting season (read: the July Live periods). Good to know. For some reason I just hadn’t really heard about them as a legit contender until fairly recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fundamentals Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 couple comments about the top 3 tweet: 1. Indiana listed prominently across his chest could be a great sign, or simply in descending alphabetical order, or... 2. Remembering back to Romeo posting three jerseys, Vandy, KU, IU...only IU was the home jersey of the three, and that has or could have been an intended clue, as in, Indiana is my home, or I’m staying home. It is good conversation and interesting, but may not mean anything. That said, I’d rather be an IU fan than the other two schools due to the prominence of the IU uni in the Carton tweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fundamentals Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Coach SS makes great point about connections sometimes being overblown. Todd Leary as bait comes to mind in the attempt to get Montross. We may see relationships not being what we thought if we get the Carton commit, or lose the Brooks commit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwtaylor1055 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 I would love for Carton, however I am not getting my hopes up about him choosing IU(I hope he proves me wrong). No intel or source just a gut feeling. I think he wants IU and maybe if this was one year later he would choose IU, or if TJD and Brooks were already committed(I feel alot better about these two choosing IU then Carton) then I could see Carton choosing IU.

If connections were the deciding factor, it'd be reasonable to count on us getting Brooks & Watford and I doubt many feel we lead for Trendon. If Carton picks UM, I'd still be overjoyed to get Newman (along with Brooks and Davis ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, he still has to visit OSU. He may very well pick Michigan, but I hear it is a dead heat right now. Time will tell.. I will further say that we have a ton to offer - with the way next year's recruiting class could shape up - DJ could be the missing piece to a National Championship team.

Hoosierdave Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 I'm hoping that if the good rumors around KBJ and TJD are true, that they would both speak up and say something to Carton. Carton knowing that he could definitely play with both of them could tip the scale towards IU. My biggest gut feeling as to why we don't beat out Michigan is just due to the fact that Coach B's recent success is an easy selling point, while Coach Miller has to really convince him to buy into what he sees IU's future looking like. That being said, I think it shows how good of recruiters this staff is to have us end up in the final 3 along with a team that went to the national championship game and the other that lost a close one in the round of 32.

Thanks or sharing that. For all the stick that the CB can get at times I think it's a pretty nifty and cool little tool that does have value. There's strategy, game theory, legit ITK news, educated guesses, and all sorts of other things that play into making it 'work'. Personally I think it does it's job very well as long as you understand the process behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 ^^ At this point, with Romeo added along with that strong class, I don't think B's recent success is the real factor, more likely it will be playing time / role, "fit," and how he feels about the teams and the respective schools.
