milehiiu Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hagans is concerned about a coaching change at UGA. It was just last week, I reported that Crean is becoming more of an interest to the powers at UGA. Not saying Crean is getting a job there.... however, Hagans must be aware of something going on at UGA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see Crean get the job down there, so I could have some ties and cheer for them as well. That said, I would imagine Archie would give him a call considering our need at PG and 2 open scholarships. We also have 2 kids from GA on the roster.

HoosierKix Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 He’s just pondering reclassifying. Hasn’t actually reclassified yet I saw. Would love for Archie to give him a shout though either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From all reports, Rob is going to be really good for several years. Get it that Hagans is highly regarded, but does CAM want to start out by recruiting over an in-state kid? Not sure how that would sit with the Indiana high school coaches. Given that we need to repair strained relationships caused by the last coaching regime, maybe CAM needs to look elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way I recruit over Phinesee. First off, Phinesee is really good, and he's going to be at IU for 4 years. Secondly, the in-state ramifications would be significant, as you mentioned.

Parakeet Jones Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I get that he is a 5* but since we have a good pg coming, I think other areas would be a bigger priority for that second open scholly. The exception would be for a 5th year or juco pg. We have four freshman already next year, 5 if/when we land Romeo, and Race actually makes 6. I'm not sure a 7 man freshman group is the way to go. Getting some balance would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie already tried to recruit another 5* point guard following Phinisee's commitment. Are you sure that the recruitment of Garland didn't begin until after Rob was in the fold? As well, I think that many/most would admit that Rob is performing better than what was anticipated upon him committing. At the time that Garland was being recruited, I don't believe that there was such a clear picture that Rob would blow up like he has his senior year. I get it that we are playing/recruiting with the "big boys". Also think that there needs to be some common sense here. Again, given the back story of strained relationships within the state ( Romeo not even considering IU, as an example, before CAM was hired), I just don't think it would be a smart move to start out the new coaching tenure by giving coaches any reason to doubt that Archie will treat the state differently than Crean did. When CAM comes out and says that his intentions are "to lock down the state of Indiana" and then he recruits over an already committed Indiana kid, what kind of message is that sending?

It would be different if he was from Georgia like Hagans. Look at Trendon Watford for example. Many on here and I believe if he was from Indiana we would prioritize him more, but instead CAM has prioritized Brooks and Davis more due to them being hometown kids.

In my opinion? It sends a bad message (Indiana kids are not good enough so we are going out of state to get our starters). Some of the same people saying it's OK today would bitch later about Indiana kids playing out of state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not only do we not want the most talented players, we only prioritize the ones that are in state? I'm so confused. So we can recruit over someone as long as the guy we are recruiting over isn't from IN or if the guy we're recruiting is from IN? Can't believe what I'm reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUfaninIllinois Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 something no one has really mentioned and I've mentioned before. Race Thompson reclassified to this year and I've said all along what if his really good friend 5* Matthew Hurt also Reclassifies then we could save the open scholly for him.

Can't believe what I'm reading I think we should always prioritize Indiana guys if the talent is close to similar like it is in the case of brooks and Davis compared to Watford. If we show the good indiana kids we are committed to signing them that will go a long way for us in the future. I mean another point we should add in here is that if Hagans does reclassify what does it say to RP that we try to rush to get him in the same class as him? I would not recruit over him in that case. If hagans doesn't reclassify to 2018 and stays 2019 then I see nothing wrong with recruiting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something out there indicating that Hurt may reclassify to 2018? It's pretty late now to do so. Of course, I think Thompson reclassified late, also.
