I know he probably wasn’t going to be an IU recruit but he is a talented scorer...if only we could transfer his shooting to one of our kids... and his team is just a shooter or two from being really good. We just go through such long droughts on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you look at the Porter family in the pros and all have had knee injuries even their sister. That said shooting is also generic I think lol...because Jalen can light it up....maybe even better than his brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daily Hoosier Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 A good profile on the Blackmon family. Jalen says IU is still involved but it is probably going to take an incredible senior year to make that happen. That won't be easy coming off an ACL. Either way an impressive talent and in many ways an IU family. JBJ and Vijay are included. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/watch-a-profile-on-the-blackmon-family-including-the-latest-on-jalens-recovery-and-recruitment/?fbclid=IwAR3xOpSeWPTd8h8wGDZna7N7f-U2Urw5SGwuvhifNvm2KulWNzH1q4yBVvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We better get used to hearing Grand Canyon around here and wouldn't surprise me one bit to see borderline 3/4 star pick them once every few years.

Yep very reputable school. One of my wife’s best friends from high school went to law school there. Told me it took awhile to pay off all the loans lol. Now she is a stay at home mom.

H00sier Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 I gotta wonder if Mr Blackmon is any kind of an option for us, either as a specialist off the bench or possibly as a transfer down the line. We need someone that can hit a 3, just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 It appears to me he is going down the route of the youngest Gordon as well. When both were young it was siad they could be the best of the brothers but as time moved on they both never got as good as people thought.

Pretty good deal to know you’re automatically in med school as long as you do what you’re supposed to. It’s a good way to attract top high school students and get them to pick SLU over another option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...those were some complete teams he built. Lots of talent and lots of blue collar guys. Hard not to respect them...a lot different then the prima donas that they have had down there in recent years. Those teams would run circles around these youngsters now. We had some great teams during those years too...some epic battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
