FKIM01 Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 From the chatter I recall, sounds like an offer is likely on the unofficial. That should make Blazin happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Can someone give me a quick recap of Newman vs Franklin? Seem similar. And it seems like Franklin might want to speed his process up a bit if he doesn't want to get left behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 So is a commitment from a guy you just offered a good thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADegenerate Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Valid question. We have to trust the staff...but I still think that there’s an area for discussion without it being a negative on the new signee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me So Hornsby Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 I like that the staff focuses on making offers face to face, makes it seem more special and personal. Also I am all in from getting more of a recruiting footprint in the north. Damezi this year and having Newman and Galloway on the radar is awesome, would love to be able to go see some guys live this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted June 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Sources reporting to me, much of what some of you are hearing. Not necessarily a commitment on Monday.... but to expect at the very least, an offer. That alone would please me. Anything Archie can do to break PU's stranglehold on NWI, would please me. Just like how one eats an elephant..... "one bite at a time". In this case how does Archie break the sting out of NWI players leaving for parts unknown ? ....... "one recruit at a time."

Fundamentals Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 This would be great! Huge fan of Newman. He will only continue to impress. Mentioned before, but he reminds me of Greg Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 After 1+ year on the recruiting trail Archie doesn't offer just to offer. Is this offer to Newman (if it happens) a move to get Franklin or a move showing Franklin family we are moving on? Everything is calculated with this staff. Just was curious what others thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t expect a commitment today from Newman after IU offers. Gosh I hope he doesn’t go to Purdue. I didn’t know they were his leaders. I feel like we miss on Carton and Lewis. Carton liking Michigan, maybe us second. Lewis connection looked good with Watford at one time. Lewis seems wide open and enjoying the process. Sometimes swinging for the fence can cause you to strike out. I don’t want to miss Newman and Franklin. Not sure which is better if the two other than their rankings.

Seeking6 Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 13 minutes ago, CoachSS said: It's important to keep in mind the staff wants this to be a 4-man class but keeping a 3-man class isn't an end all, be all. IU is likely to have TJD locked up after his official in October. They'll know on Carton very soon. If they don't get Carton, then it's likely they'll have more of a full-court press for Newman and Franklin... made easier by the fact they are on the same AAU team and the IU staff can have multiple coaches at their games. Indiana is in great shape in 2019. I'm not concerned whatsoever. Good enough for me. I'll just proceed with my summer and check back Oct 14th.

IUwins0708 Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Not doubting Coach but I’ve been told Newman is a lot higher on IU than he is PU. He was literally waiting for this offer. We shall see! Thanks for what you bring to the board @CoachSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t expect a commitment today from Newman after IU offers. Idrk how I would feel if Newman committed immediately after an IU offer anyway. If the staff is looking at 3-4 recruits, there's a solid chance we could fill those spots with instant impact players like TJD, KBJ, Watford, Carton/Lewis. I really like Newman's game and would be excited if he committed but I think this recruiting class could be the one that helps us raise the 6th banner. I'd be happy with the staff taking the risk to land the 5-star guys since Newman is a 4-year player and we are in a good position with the younger guards like Galloway, Leal and the youngest Blackmon.
