Just seems like it's getting crowded at the guard/wing,etc....whatever people want to call position less positions these days. We'll call it the 6'5 and under part of the lineup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us going after another guard (harris-smith) tells me JHS is prob doing really well. If we lost x and jhs were in need of another guard Edited August 1, 2022 by Andrew 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdgenhoosier Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 I just got a message that he eliminated IU. Is anyone seeing anything? The person that texted me is not any kind of insider…just what he heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I could think is if he thinks Kaiser is going to commit and he sees we Have Newton already and sees a lot of wings on the roster.

thirdgenhoosier Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Chris at btownbanners is saying DHS is staying close to home…likely either Maryland or Nova. For whatever that is worth. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever that is worth. Don’t get me wrong…love his defense and his physicality but I’m really not going to lose sleep if we miss on him. There are tons of upperclassman in the portal every year that can give us B1G ready body and defense. Maybe it is just Im exhausted watching us suffer from lack of shooting but I’d prefer to prioritize kids that can knock down shots. I know it’s about building a well rounded roster but until I see us out 5 kids on the floor at once that are a threat to shoot I will error on the side of shooters vs anything else until that happens…then we can start rounding out the other parts of the roster lol. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fundamentals Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 If we go 1 for 3 on visits from last week and Page commits, IU gets a forward, which is needed badly after this season, and with Newton and Cupps, IU can stay flexible in the spring, and the last two have brought 2 studs: Bates and Reneau. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madison22 Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 More Maryland talk. I know we can't get them all. No one can. But I hope after every miss, no matter the reason, the IU staff discusses the player's recruitment, to see how they can continue to improve. It is not "just a numbers game" even though that phrase is used a lot. Recruiting is a skill, and can be analyzed just like any other skill. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/2023-guard-deshawn-harris-smith-trending-away-from-indiana/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamar, JHS, Galloway, Leal, Gunn, not to mention Cupps and Newton... Simply too much competition for playing time... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While its always great to do self-analysis semi-regularly, it will be extra beneficial to see where we are after a top 10, conference championship-contending season.

If you could get recruits to answer that honestly, that would be tremendously valuable intelligence. Done the right way ("We're not mad at you and wish you the best...we just want to know what recruits are looking for in a school to better serve them in the future.") That could potentially be valuable for future portal players that had been previously recruited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume some version of this conversation occurs (at least it should) when a recruit tells a coach they're not coming before their announcement. I know some recruits supposedly don't tell any coaches prior to the announcement but you would hope most kids have a conversation with a staff that recruited them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
