I still haven't heard any real audio though so who knows but Trey seems pretty straight forward that last night wasn't real. It appears he was there, and the Jeff High School Girls did have a scrimmage last night as well, which explains the shot with them on the court. But, it's just a picture. It's not an audio of a commitment, which no one has been able to produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't one. Of course iconic players are remembered better at IU. But to say he wouldn’t be remembered at Purdue is wrong imo. So Hummel isn’t remembered? E’Twaun?

IUProfessor Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 7 minutes ago, 5fouls said: Kaufman did not 'drag things out'. It's been posted numerous times in this thread with a list of players, but top recruits from this state rarely commit before the November signing period of their Senior year. This includes TJD, Romeo, Zeller, Yogi, Blackmon, etc. Some lesser in-state recruits do to ensure their spot. This year was atypical due to COVID. In a normal year most top players are taking officials throughout the fall. That hasn't been the case this year. Most timetables have moved up as a result. Regardless, by dragged it out I just meant allowing the commitment to be delayed by months longer than what the insiders were expecting. That's not a Knock on Kaufman, to be clear. Maybe the insiders were wrong and this was always the timetable even with COVID. The point is that Archie waited so long for Kaufman that most other options have dried up. Just like the Brooks recruitment. I get waiting for a Romeo level talent. But at the top 40 level, I'd have liked to see more urgency from Archie to have other options lined up, even to the point of taking a commitment from another player, in case Kaufman fell through. Especially after the Brooks debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put pretty high odds on it. I have no doubt Trey will play the 4. It's just a matter of whether Furst plays the 5 or comes off the bench.

Billingsley99 Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Over the past 12 hours I have tried to stay out of this thread just skimming through it. For the most part I try to be a realist and also am an optimistic person in general. Maybe I am just naive or gullible not sure. Right up until the last moment the Ketchup kid went down south I held hope because of info that I was getting from 1 particular person. Nothing cryptic very matter of the fact info. He is the person that told me we were getting Arman, Rob, Duncomb, TJD and has only missed on the one guy. I really listen to his stuff and then pass it along. Maybe he just does not know but 20 minutes ago he spoke with me and said he truly feels its IU. Just passing along the info and I can say that I don't feel nearly as good as I did 24 hours ago. Hopefully it was all just a trick and at 600 we get our treat. If not life goes on I have a beautiful wife 3 great kids and won't lose any sleep over it. Have a blessed day FRIENDS!!

Seeking6 Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 If this plays out as indicated I'll reiterate what I said yesterday. He's Trey Lyles, Gary Harris, Josh McRoberts, AJ Hammons to me...won't cheer or support the kid again. Not only does he heave his long running AAU mates holding the bag he's heading to an arch rival. Sorry....doesn't get much worse. Edit-And if Trey chooses IU. Disregard everything I've said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the other team has a lightning quick 6:4 guy playing the 3 spot, I don't see it. Against IU, with Hunter at the 3? Yeah, I could see that.

One plausible (and perhaps obvious) interpretation: the coaching staff was apparently overconfident about its chances to land Brooks (hence the lack of a backup plan), and may have fallen prey to the same hubris with Kaufman. If so, and assuming that your insider (or others) are getting their info from someone in the program, then it is only natural that the two prediction misses were the two guys that the staff was overconfident about. In other words, usually the staff has a good feel for who we're going to land. But when the insiders miss, it's the recruitments that also catch the staff off-guard too.

IUrocker Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 If Trey’s comments on Instagram aren’t just him trying to cover up the mishap with the leak and this ends up being a different outcome, then wow that’d be pretty epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
