5 championships Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 36 minutes ago, klize17 said: The whole "if Kaufman was going to commit to Indiana, it would have happened already" is such a cop out answer. The exact same thing was said about TJD and we know how that turned out. The kid wants to take visits before deciding. Had that happened maybe it would have already been done. It is August before he can sign, not April after he already could have. I agree 100 percent! Just in recent interview he said he would like to visit Virginia. I’m guessing he probably would of been decided by now but the date to visit keeps getting pushed back. If your Kaufman why rush and make a decision? If I was him I’d probably consider signing in the fall at some point tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a prestigious offer, no doubt. And, one he, or any recruit, should be proud of receiving. But. my gut tells me this is an IU versus UVA decision, and I think it's been that way for a while. I think Purdue is still pushing too. He said on Saturday that he was having a Zoom meeting with them this week. If I'm Purdue I say hey did you see Caleb Furst on Saturday? He is clearly a center whether he knows it or not. You can come and be our four. Just kidding, sort of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, and I don’t mean to come off as a jerk, but I’m always super surprised at how many people react to those kinds of updates as if they actually mean something.

Whatever confidence I personally had was driven by what things I read and seen by recruiting analysts and people on here that I believe have insider information. I have never personally been been told by anyone in Trey's family or anyone associated with the Silver Creek program that Trey is leaning in any direction. Likewise, my kids have not come home from school and said anything like "I heard Trey's friend 'Oscar' tell Merle today in the hall that Trey likes fill in the blank" There are two things that I always considered important in his recruitment. I've never felt he would play with Caleb Furst. I still believe that. That said, if Furst had not chosen Purdue, my perception is the Boilers would be a major player. And, they still may be if my belief about Furst is wrong. I always thought for family reasons that he would stay close to home. This one, I'm no longer so sure about. There seems to be too much coming out right now that indicates that being close to home may not be as important as everyone thought. And, I've been on the record since the beginning saying that, if being close to home is not a factor, I think Virginia is the offer to be concerned about.
