Tom Crean getting fired was a big positive. Lander committing and reclassifying was a huge positive. TJD was a massive positive. I really like Archie and what he is doing. I think we're in great shape going forward. That’s a huge positive. Why do you always consider everything a positive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Archie had not been at IU that long either but he was recruiting him while at Dayton. Maybe he came to IU because of his relationship with Archie and had nothing to do with OSU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan? Virginia? All those schools are about as close as we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did have an offer from Butler in addition to schools like Xavier, Purdue, Penn State, Illinois, Michigan, VT, West Virginia, and Ohio State. The crystal ball had OSU as 100% of 2 predictions. So you make a good point. Miller won this recruitment and it wasn't due to other schools being worse off than IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 I know most have seen him play live but for those out of state people just a little teaser and some back ground about the young man that we are all in on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Every time I see Kaufman, I think he’s woefully underrated. He’s highly skilled, works hard, and is a winner. He can jump and is working on his explosiveness. He’s a very smart student. I’d take him over Trey Patterson any day of the week. Bonus. Kaufman would never pre-announce a final list of ten schools.

I hate to dish on teenagers, but yeah...that's annoying. Tell us when you have some real news. What school gets excited about being listed in a top ten? Well, OK...maybe Turdue.

Kaufman would never pre-announce a final list of ten schools. Having talked with a highly recruited guy about a year ago that put out his list of top 8 I can see their point in some things. For some of the guys its just the world we live in all about social media and followers etc.. for this young man he told me that on any given week he would be contacted by over 100 coaches. Through calls text Instagram many of which have no chance but are swinging for the fences. He said he was not sure where he wanted to go but knew he wanted to eliminate a lot of clutter. That way those schools in the running could give their best pitch and those out could use their resources elsewhere. It did not stop all the contact from those not in top 8 but it reduce it significantly. We get annoyed by the kids doing this but the coaches have full access to these kids 24/7. He did say he was blessed to be sought after but it was overwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would list the school I plan to commit to, then find out what schools the nine hottest girls in my high school are attending and list those also. “Of course the St Sally School of Nursing has a men’s basketball team” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more hilarious is the "this is my top ten list for now" play where schools move in and out of the rankings. It's not hard to say "these are the schools I will choose from" and leave it at that. I think you can send the message without all of the fanfare. Save that for when you're at least close to a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put together a playlist consisting of "Carolina in my Mind" "Indiana Wants Me" " Duke of Earl" " Dueling Banjos" " Nuthin but a "G" Thang" And announce with the song you play!
