Muckraker Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 I have to shake my head at this fan base, sometimes. Everyone has been lamenting the current roster having no stretch four, yet here is a player who would seem to fit that mould, but no one wants him🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwtaylor1055 Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 It makes you really think, with Watford having IU in his top four, does this put a little more pressure on Brooks To commit a little sooner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbmhoosier Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 I wouldn't get my hopes up. TJD had UCLA in his final 3 but he was obviously never going there. It's Memphis or Bama for Trendon IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Even though IU made his final 4......An OV to IU will tell the story if he is still seriously considering IU. IMHO. It could be just a courtesy inclusion in his final list. Let's see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were truly top 4, OV should've been at least tentatively scheduled, and I don't think IU has been even actively mentioned by Trendon in his interviews for a while. Then all of a sudden, we're top 4. Of course, there can be stories fans would never know, but this recruitment has been widely considered a dead one. My guess is Trendon likes Memphis but he's not 100% sure if Penny is a good coach or the class Penny has assembled (and the current players) would really be compatible to him.

I will admit, after saying that, that I had really given up hope. And as I just said.... let's just sit back, and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Ballin Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 So those of you that know better than I about Trendon, which is most if not all of you, is he a high basketball IQ guy? I would think that he knows how to play the game? Would he be a case of taking a basketball player and improving his athletisism rather than getting a raw athlete and teaching them how to play basketball? If so, is that a bad thing?

I'm in the same boat with both Watford and Brooks. I've only seen limited mixtapes,etc. and gleaned the rest from comments on boards like this one. Would love to be able to see them play in real games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 It's simple for me...if Keion commits, we have no room for Watford. It's not that there's no interest...I just don't see where there is any room for Trendon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danomatic Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 A friend of mine hinted at the idea of Watford coming with Brooks, TJD and Franklin. His reasoning was that Archie likes long athletic wings that are able to play multiple positions on both ends of the court. Right now, this seems like a pipe dream... but you never really know. Im going to add that if this were the case, I wouldn’t really be surprised... TJD and IU did an amazing job of keeping things quiet. Stranger things have happened. All we can do is wait and see.

BADGERVOL Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 How could all four come? If Romeo leaves we’d still need two to leave correct? Or just one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowhunter Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 I’m not buying the hype.. Too many good insiders that would know where we stand with Watford. Things can change I guess, but I think we are in 4th place and made list as a courtesy to our staff and great fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to be last in this race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierdave Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 At the end of the day, even if Memphis and Bama are heavy favorites, it's still good publicity for the program to have another 5* player speaking highly of the school and Coach Miller. Other recruits take notice of it. A shooting guard is still the biggest need after KBJ likely/hopefully commits but adding watford could defintely work. The 3 Duke freshman play the same position yet obviously make it work just fine. Not to mention, Memphis already has Jefferies who is a PF/SF, so I feel like you could convince watford on playing with KBJ at the same time.

For a coach who likes interchangeable parts on defense imagine the joy in Archie to potentially be able to bring 3 five star 6’8” guys who can float between wing and post. Wow.
