kyhoosier29 Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 If he’s willing to renege on his word to us, I’m not sure I care what he does. Surely he didn’t cancel ours to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyhoosier29 Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 I misspoke then. I thought I read on here he was attending HH. My apologies to Stewart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Keion a lock for IU?

I can only speculate, but I feel pretty confident we’ll get Brooks, considering the TJD and Schilling connections. Either way, I see Keion as one of the biggest factors in Stewart’s recruitment, as they’re both at La Lumiere this year. If we land Keion, he may be able to sell Stewart on IU, although I still wouldn’t bet on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 When I see news about Stewart like this...it tells me that our dialed in posters were very accurate when they said TJD and Brooks last month. Actions always louder than words in recruiting. Stewart scheduling this one tells me he knows TJD/Brooks have relayed their plans....or more than likely plans. If we get TJD, Brooks, AF and add either a grad transfer, spring commit or someone wanting to reclassify in the spring...ecstatic is how I would feel for 2nd recruiting class.

Yeah the only thing I can assume is that the staff is 100% confident they have both TJD and Brooks in the bag. The scary thing is that miss on even one and what we were told was going to likely be best recruiting class IU has had in decades is now a bust. I'm hoping TJD commits soon and never takes that MSU visit. They are the only ones who worry me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know a ton about his game, but I would be surprised to see a 6'8" PF, whose bread and butter (from what I have read) is low post offense and rebounding (because he's a man amongst boys) get a first round look. I am sure Isaiah possesses a lot of skill, outside of just being a grown man, but Juwan's game is much more advanced in all aspects and he wasn't getting those attractive draft looks. Unless Stewart is a guy who just wants to put on a professional uniform ASAP, regardless of contract, then I think he's a 2-year guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's looking like we were only in great shape with 2 of them. I don't recall quite that many. Aside from the 3 I believe we end up with, I remember hearing Stewart and maybe Ramsey? Personally, I never got that strong of a feeling for Ramsey. He's just a hard read. Now I would grant you that from time to time, other names have surfaced as strong leans like Watford, but generally, those ships had sailed before others replaced them, so I never felt like we had 6-7 top targets all saying IU at the same time. At any rate. we may only have room for three anyway. Something negative has to happen to make room for a fourth unless an underclassman besides Romeo absolutely blows up this year. I would not be broken-hearted if we only had 12 scholarship players on next year's team anyway. We're not going to play that many...we know that.

The Daily Hoosier Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 At some point I'm going to have to pull together a story on recruits that went to UK and it didn't work out. This whole idea that they send guys to the NBA is just lazy. They were going to the NBA irrespective of where they went to school. I'd argue that there is a higher risk of getting lost on the bench because so many kids buy in to the BS and go there. Charles Matthews is just one example.

I was going to post something on here along those lines, but an article from you would be much better. Just playing around on basketball-reference due to NBA 2k19 and here's what I had in mind: Bam Adebayo - HS Rank 8th - NBA Draft 14th De'Aaron Fox - 6th - 5th Malik Monk - 9th - 11th Skal Labissiere - 2nd - 28th Jamal Murray - 10th - 7th Tyler Ullis - 18th = 34th Devin Booker 23rd - 13th Willie Cauley-Stein 38th - 6th Andrew Harrison - 5th - 44th Aaron Harrison - 6th - Undrafted Alex Poythress - 8th - Undrafted Dakari Johnson - 9th - 48th Trey Lyles - 12th - 12th Karl-Anthony Towns - 5th - 1st Julius Randle - 2nd - 7th James Young - 9th -17th Archie Goodwin 10th - 29th Nerlens Noel - 1st - 6th Anthony Davis - 1st - 1st Terrence Jones 11th - 18th Michael Kidd-Gilchrist 3rd - 2nd Doron Lamb - 26th - 42nd Darius Miller 35th - 46th Marquis Teague 7th - 29th Brandon Knight - 4th - 8th DeAndre Liggins - 34th - 53rd Eric Bledsoe - 52nd - 18th DeMarcus Cousins - 3rd - 5th Daniel Orton 19th - 29th Patrick Patterson - 10th - 14th John Wall 2nd- 1st Three big things that stand out to me: (1) - Several players dropped considerably. In his defense, he only gets highly rated players so not much of a chance to improve their stock most of the time. The thing that stands out the most to me is how many players are either out of the league or in a non-contributing role after being such high rated HS recruits. (2) - Only 4 players have become All-Stars: Wall, Cousins, KAT, and AD. All were rated top 5 recruits. Has many more top 10 recruits who have not become All-Stars. (3) - No NBA champions amongst any of them. Rondo is the only current fUK NBA player with a ring and he predates Cal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still feel Stewart is a 50/50. that 3 man class is really impressive a 4th would put it over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
