You know that Crean always recruited out of state kids better than in state, right? 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually handles the ball and takes people off of the dribble, all at 6’7”. CAM has even said that Hunter will play the 2. Obviously he will probably slide over to the 3 with Romeo on board, but CAM said that before Romeo’s commitment. Hunter wasn’t ranked the 49th best prospect in the nation for nothing. People are sleeping on him and I’m not sure why. Also when did I say I was down on Hunter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Daily Hoosier Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 FWIW, TJD liked this tweet associated with my story. Does it mean he agrees or is he just a nice guy that goes out of his way to like coverage of him. I suspect the latter, but take it for what it's worth. Also, shameless plug, please give me a follow on Twitter if you haven't already. Thanks for all of your support HSN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some folks used to insist that recruits didn't read forums like this, but without question, they do (and the wrong fan messages can damage a school in the eyes of the recruit). I can't remember which recruit did it, but one actually referenced one of our fan forums in an interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, and I am guilty of saying that recruits and players and parents aren't paying attention to this stuff. I was wrong. I have seen countless examples on Twitter, facebook and elsewhere. It is a bit uncomfortable when players and parents start following you -- you wonder if you are going to say the wrong thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said as long as you shoot it straight...90% of the folks won't have an issue. There will always be people who will be critical. Nature of your business. I will say this. Being a native of Illinois I can tell you they have about 3-4 guys from around the state that didn't do Weber or Groce or even now Underwood any favors. Not saying you have to write puff pieces but trashing a kid in public is never a good look. Best of luck with it! I always enjoy your articles.

I know that Gary Harris mentioned Peegs once during his recruitment... a Peegster had stated that his mom played for Purdue and that we didn’t need any handmedowns. That may or may not have ultimately had any impact on his decision, but the fact that one of our idiotic fans would say that baffles me. I know that every program has fans like that, I just wish that ours didn’t have an Internet connection. I played for HSE Coach Satterfield(Gary Harris’ coach) when he was an assistant under Larry Bullington and talk to him once in awhile... he said the reason that Harris didn’t go to IU was Crean. So the kids probably don’t take anything too serious, but who really knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 I heard on the DD show that he has heard that TJD will try to reclassify and if he does it would be IU. the only problem with this is that we are out of scholarships at this time.
