ADegenerate Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Since we’re all a little agitated. Is there room for elimination of spam posts by posters peddling their sites without really contributing anything else here. That’s starting to get really annoying.

We all follow you on twitter and know the site (it’s a good follow and a good site too btw). If you’re gonna peddle your articles here daily then I think you should at least be a regular poster. I don’t come here for your sites daily updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierKix Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 I stated I wasn’t buying it but did bring false hope with my post and for that I apologize was just sharing what tiny whisper I had but obviously not very reliable lol hope that he’s just taking his time and does end up in the cream and crimson!

Seeking6 Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 If the kid needs some more time. Cool. What I'll say is that adding more time is no big deal...but he can expect a little push back from some because everything he and his circle has said in public and most certainly privately is he would commit in November, before season starts,etc.... My hunch is Izzo has watched this rodeo before. He plays the good guy, take your time, no pressure,etc.....even suggesting why be in such a rush....the decision is so important you have to wait,etc....in the interim Izzo understands there will be blow back from our fans (therefore making a kid upset) and during the coming months Izzo can strengthen his relationship with TJD. That's how I would recruit an Indiana player. Hopefully TJD's closest people can see how they are being worked right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 It seems like IU just can't get over the recruiting hump ever since Moses Abraham jilted us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McHoop Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Personally, I wouldn't blame CAM for "feathering his nest" and actively recruiting any remaining players who would fill the same role. It gets to a point where this cuts both ways. McHoop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McHoop Yes the old saying **** or get off the pot. I wouldn't have much patients with situations like this. If he is truly undecided it is one thing but if he has told the staff he is coming and doing this I would not like his actions very much. In my opinion not showing leadership abilities if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwtaylor1055 Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 While reading the comments from the past 10 hours or so, I saw where someone mentioned TJD visiting the IU vs Louisville game in Bloomington this December. Is TJD planning on visiting during that time? Or has he said he plans on visiting again? Just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 If we get neither TJD or Brooks then we are in some serious trouble because most of the backup plans have already eliminated us. To me this is the problem with only recruiting a select few and putting all your eggs in a couple of baskets. It is what Davis did and in the end we were stuck more often than not.

Gotcha, I was just curious that's all, no information on if he is planning another visit. What really got me thinking about it, was how TJD was a guest at the Michigan St vs Kansas game Tuesday night. Wonder if Archie is trying or has a game planned for TJD to attend? Didn't Romeo and RP attend a game together last season prior to Romeo announcing his commitment? Maybe TJD and Franklin will attend a IU game together this season.

I hope that is not the case when these two decide to commit somewhere. It's the tail wagging the dog right now or that's the way it seems to me.

HoosierJax Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 I would rather go head to head with Kentucky then Izzo for TJD ...Izzo seems to be a helluva closer when he zeros in on a recruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Here's the thing. As fantastic as it would be, IU does not truly need both TJD and Brooks. If we just land one, we will be fine. So, I am not going to be overly concerned if TJD wants to take his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
