Coach Robby Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Jalen Windham, 6’5 guard for Ben Davis...committed to Georgia State....but if hunter takes Tulane job...wouldn’t mind having him. He’s a hawk on both ends. I know Georgia St isn’t IU but I thought worth a small discussion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13th&Jackson Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Why would Hunter go to Tulane? That’s been a bad job forever. Seems like a career killer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 My guess is he would follow Hunter to Tulane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TargaFlorio Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 IU among the schools that have reached out to Windham Quote Indiana assistant coach Ed Schilling reached out to Windham, who shot 36 percent from the 3-point line as a senior and averaged 17.9 points per game. The Hoosiers are looking to bolster their outside shooting. “They stressed how they need shooters and I could fit their system pretty well,” Windham said. “I’m probably going to get in campus soon and get that set up in the next couple weeks.” https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2019/03/31/indiana-basketball-recruiting-new-interest-jake-laravia-and-jalen-windham-iu-purdue/3328205002/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiderMonkey Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 I just came here to post this. I know nothing about him, but he could be the kind of player that would sit on the bench, be a good teammate and learn and grow and be a solid co tributor his junior and senior years. The kind of players we've seen be successful in the tourney for some of these final four and elite eight teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU878176 Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 I don’t know anything about him but am very sceptical since Rivals shows his only offers as Georgia State, IUPUI, Miami of Ohio, Toledo and Western Michigan. That alone hints that this would be a reach....No offer from PU, Xavier, Cinci, ND, Iowa, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feathery Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Watched him vs Cathedral this season and he was very impressive. Played hard all game and Cathedral really couldn’t guard him. Not sure if he played at that level oll season or not. But for that one game I thought he was really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Could do much worse. Plays tough competition in the MIC and has been to a couple of state championship games, winning one. Lost this year to Carmel and scored 22 I think. I like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierAlice Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 I've see Jalen play a few times. The kid is tough as nails. Don't care about the stars next to his name. He is the kind of competitor that IU needs on their team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13th&Jackson Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 I like that he’s 6’4, 190. Same size as Franklin. That’s good size on the perimeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t point to a 1/100 person who defied the odds to say we should sign kids to be desperate. If coach wants him fine, but odds are stacked against him becoming a Cline.

ArchieBall13 Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Seems like a reach and a bit concerning if this is the trend of our recruiting level. Don't get me wrong, this year I realized stars are not everything. But he does not have any high D1 offers currently, reminds me of the level of recruit Crean brought in towards the end. However, at the end of the day, it's about wins and losses. If Archie sees this kid as a gamer and a step in the "winning" direction, do what you gotta do coach.

Recruiting sites are quite honestly arent all that good at what they do. His "ranking" should be irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we might not have too many options if we have several transfer. How about the kid at Belmont from Perry meridian who went from unranked to being projected pick in the draft. Look at the final four and tell me how many 5 star All Americans are playing in it. Purdue just won the big ten and got to the elite 8 with Cline and Eifert starting but our fan base think they are worthless since they were not highly ranked coming out of high school.

btownqb Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Btw.. this kid was the 3rd leading scorer on Indy Heat in their summer circuit last year. TJD and Brooks the leading scorers. He also shot 46% from 3 in those 16 games on 61 attempts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stromboli Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 I've never watched Windham play, so I'm not for or against him at this point. I will say, in watching the highlight videos and comparing stats, I don't see a difference between Windham and Quinones. If anything Windham shows a willingness to get inside and fight a little more. The difference is that Quinones is down at IMG (the prep I trust the least) and messing with Maryland, Memphis, and LSU.

He also shot 46% from 3 in those 16 games on 61 attempts. If you add in Peach Jam, he was 45% on over 103 attempts from 3pt. Quinones was 30.8% from 3pt in AAU play last year.
