Indy Sports Partizan is a member of good standing here at HSN. Give him a PM if any of you want. I am sure he won't mind giving further insight.

My understanding is they had been showing interest as early as last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The response was, “it’ll be tough”, so sounds like Coach Bennett is willing to give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see whether the lack of spring and summer AAU sessions results in fewer or greater number of offers for uncommitted players.

I know in IU’s case, Archie has to see them in person before even entertaining an offer. Not sure if/how that approach changes due to COVID and its impact on AAU evaluation periods.

It also tells the player how important the offer is because the head coach himself is running the offer process with his own judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the 2017-2018 season, an IU offer has meant something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Leal and Galloway might not be 5 star recruits but their commitments are paying dividends even before they step on the floor. I think they will have good careers for us but the guys they could be bringing with them might even surpass their impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think they will be pivotal players on a 4 year stretch we will eventually look back on as the turning point. I am thrilled these young men will wear candy stripes and believe they will both have great careers, maybe even etch their names in the IU record books.

Mostly a reflection of who is looking at you at the time. Only a handful get the nomination. Many "Diamonds in the rough" or better stated simply unnoticed kids every year. VO an example we've had most recently. I'm much more interested in a kids character, tenacity, coachability, and team oriented mindset(Some athletic ability a given). I love the young men who choose IU and are expected to be here 3-4yr so we can watch them develop over time especially if they are also home grown hoosiers.. In the long run, I think they are the players that will lead us back to national prominence.. UK and Duke can have the OAD factories. I'm only interested in college players and National. Championships. This looks like the path CAM has us on and I'm really hoping it comes to fruition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think CAM is balancing the classes well, he is recruiting 5-star level players, and we just had 3 years of Mr Basketballs, but he’s also building a team on kids across classes with strong work ethics, dedication to D, a track record of winning and tenacity. And he’s getting balance now across positions. The direction looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euroclydon Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Has TK ever mentioned a time frame for his decision? Aside from the "imminent" rumor from weeks ago. I should add that did not come from TK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKIM01 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 My suspicion is...he'll announce a decision for a school at a time no one is predicting.
