Hoosierhoopster Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Clifton is another player i’m very interested to see play this season. Would love to see the benefit of off-season development and growth. Rooting for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be my personal preference as I think there is a strong chance Clifton plays meaningful minutes this year. I mentioned in a post a few days ago that I was starting to think that the reason our staff is planning to take 4 is because they don't see Clifton Moore in the plans. There was one guy who liked my post and that was CoachSS. Take that for what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's buried at the end of the bench at the end of the season getting Tim Priller minutes then yes, I suspect he'll transfer out. Given the pictures I've seen recently, at the very least, he's worked hard on transforming his body. I'd be a little surprised if he's behind all of the freshman class at the end of the season. If IU ends up taking four and Moore is 14th in the depth chart, he'll leave. However, those are two big IFs at this stage in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No just trying to get back on track with the thread. I fully 100 percent expect 3 of the 4. I am 50/50 on Stewart .

Bowhunter Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Even if Clifton doesn’t play much he has an opportunity to build his body and improve his skills at one of the marquee colleges in all of college basketball. If he transfers out it’s not because he wasn’t given a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 The more I think about it the more I would be surprised to take 4 this year. Manly because it would have to be a very late signing more than likely. (unless someone leaves before or during the season). The chances of signing a kid that late is unlikely. I would imagine a grad transfer would make more sense. Perhaps someone might reclassify...so that is why I think Stewart is a long shot. It COULD happen but I just don't think we sign 4 with only having 2 openings. What if Romeo is crazy and wants to stay another year? So I would think it more likely we take 3 and then if another opening comes up we fill it with a grad transfer.....perhaps another big or perhaps a guard that can help right away. Here is a question..if Stewart committed before TJD....could that scare Trayce into going to Iowa or Michigan St. or UCLA? I wouldn't think so but maybe that could be a factor in his decision process in taking the officials and taking his time on his decision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really no sense in entertaining that thought. In the short time of studying Archie and his style, I sure as hell wouldn’t bet against him. Pulling guys out of West Lafayette, Romeo....The guy can flat out close. He’s said before that schollies are like gold, but I could envision him stuffing the bench until he gets all his guys. He’s a huge advocate of competition in practice etc so I could see him letting it work itself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonV Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 I’m waiting for that announcement that Stewart will be attending HH. Think that will say it all about where we stand. It sounds like Stewart is a little farther out from deciding (especially with Cal recently sniffing around), but I could see TJD accelerating his decision with that competition in sight.

This is a good point. I love seeing players coming back from the summer ripped and showing what an off-season in the weight room has done for them. But some just don't show and it's not necessarily a reflection you can rely on before seeing them play. Same for strength building. Extreme example -- Kevin Durant -- at the combine he couldn't even bench 135 once. Didn't matter, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. If there is a work ethic issue, I'm guessing he has this year to straighten that out. OTOH, he may have just operated on a different schedule than some of the others. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt until Archie boots him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, this kind of makes me feel a little bit better about this recruitment. We’ve never been the favorites with Stewart, and this shows that he’s actually still undecided. If Archie and Keion can sell him on IU, we may still have a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart and Hurt are the type of guys Archie will be able to land when he hangs banner 6 or goes to multiple FFs but probably not before. For now we'll likely have to stick to the Indiana 5 star kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
