For me on this one if we dont offer I will question lots of things with our recruiting strategy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The schools he mentions above are hardly basketball factories. From all indications, Leal is a real intelligent guy. Not saying that IU doesn't have some strong academic programs, but it would be hard to put them up against a Stanford or Northwestern and honestly say that we are on the same level. If we offer, and he chooses to go to a school for both basketball and academic reasons, good for him. If we don't offer, and he blows up, then your point holds some validity. Too early in the process for this kid. CAM is not CTC and does not throw out offers seemingly indiscriminately. If there is to be an offer, it will come in due time.

Maybe we were too late to the party. Its nice to feel prioritized not since they struck out on everyone else I am the consolation prize. Maybe its understood that if an offer comes he would jump IDK. I just believe that kid can play at IU and be successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwtaylor1055 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 If Leal is 2020 and we have kept close tabs on him up to this point, I sense he now becomes one of the top priorities for a guard for 2020 class. Green will be gone and we will only have(barring any guard transfers or 2019 guard commitments) Durham, RP and Franklin remaining so playing time will be available. Maybe Demezi Anderson as a shooting guard but lets assume he would slide to SF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you missed Virginia in there but let’s cry about Bryant Macintosh from northwestern but there not a basketball factory are they but it doesn’t mean they don’t get quality players does it? I am for going for Indiana kids not my decision though it is the staffs. If they don’t offer Leal which they haven’t so far I do think it is a mistake!!! You may be liking what this staff is doing but I am not sold on them! It’s obvious we need shot makers on the floor and yet we haven’t improved on that yet.

IU Scott Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 I think until we can get back to where we are a national name we need to go after Indiana kids like Leal who wants to play here. He looks like he would be a solid contributor and by his junior year could be a major contributor if he works hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierinbham Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 How would Leal's game compare to Lester's? Granted, Leal has an entire AAU and school season left, but just wondered about skillsets. Call me selfish, I'd love to get both. But all things being comparable, give me the Bloomington kid that grew up loving the Hoosiers, especially if his family loves the Hoosiers as well.
