mchenry34 Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 I don’t think the Crystal Ball feature means anything two years out. This is especially true in an age of transfers and people leaving early for the NBA and spring signings. Teams swoop in late and provide opportunities that seem attractive and players jump at the chance. Often going from no relationship to committing in a few weeks or months (which I think contributes to higher levels of transfers...ala Jordan Tucker and Duke). anyway, I hope that we have a good chance with these guys. The staff seems more subtle and measured in their approach to recruiting than Crean. I think it will pay dividends. Offers will mean more, communication will mean more when it is not so frenetic.

FKIM01 Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 I love Trendon, but I have a feeling that the coaches are playing the odds here and thinking he's more of a long shot than the other two and thus, the prioritization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierinbham Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Word down here is he is interested in what Avery Johnson can build at Alabama. Colin Sexton having a big year and getting drafted high helps. Also hearing he likes Kentucky. Hope his brother shuts that option down quickly! I'll be interested to see how CAM prioritizes recruiting the position in that class. Love a legacy, but think this might be a longer shot at this point. Btw, he's playing great and his team has another really good shot at a state title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, that pretty much sums up where we stand with him...rattled off about 5 schools and no mention of IU. Probably makes sense to keep our focus in-state with Brooks anyways. I'd take either though obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said a while back that I thought it was important for Archie to be on the brink of landing big recruits over the next couple years...that way, when Coach K, Roy, Izzo, maybe Calipari, retire/move on, then Archie is the guy. This may apply a lot sooner than I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably what plays into the prioritization of the two recruits at this current stage of time. Thanks Coach. So glad you found us back in January. I would like to remind our members of a few things. There a members who frequent HSN 3.0 that actually have an ear to the ground, when it comes to recruiting. Coach is one of them. And there are others. And even some who don't feel comfortable posting.... but are willing to share intel with members via private messaging. And .... those members who do share don't get paid for getting things wrong, unlike some other well known sites.But when they offer information, it is like time in a capsule. What they are offering is what they are hearing real time. Not knocking other sites. I think IU has one of the most diversified fan boards of any school in the nation. More power to them. They all have a right to their space. But.... when people such as Coach, and others.... come here to share information....our members have to understand, and appreciate they are getting this intel free of charge. And based upon the members own volition to share with us.... what they are hearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably what plays into the prioritization of the two recruits at this current stage of time. This makes sense if for no other reason than geography. Watford is an excellent player just like Brooks, but I don't think Archie is dead bent on locking down Alabama. Couple that with the perceived likelihood of getting either of these guys to sign, I'd put my money on Brooks over Watford all day. Watford is a really nice player but he'd be a long way from home here. Some kids like that, but it may well be a negative factor for Trendon. Much less likely a negative factor for Keion.

Hoosierinbham Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Going to watch Trendon and Mountain Brook play in the state semifinals today. Should be a really good game. I'll try to post a recap afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierinbham Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Trendon and Mountain Brook ended up winning handily, but it started off pretty sloppy. Trendon forced some things early and the opposition played very physical, along with constantly doubling him. (One player on the other team signed to play wr at Clemson after turning down Bama) He racked up fouls on the other team, but struggled early at the foul line. He got a couple put backs, and started to settle into the flow of the game better in the second quarter. The game was close at the half. Mountain Brook came out strong in the second half, and picked up 3 straight charges on the opposition at one point. Trendon played very unselfishly and slowly began to dominate the game on both ends. He had a couple monster dunks that got he and the crowd pumped. He finished with 22 points, probably 15-18 boards, and really controlled the paint defensively. He does tend to get pretty winded, but Mountain Brook plays aggressive full court pressure defense the entire game. Per usual, he could score 30+ points every game if he wanted, but really takes most shots within the flow of the offense. One game left Saturday for yet another state title for the Spartans.
