IMO, there's a difference tweeting out offers and promoting an upcoming top 10 list. To me, the first is a routine and polite acknowledgement of teams showing interest while the 2nd is an effort to build the hype train. They're entitled, but I view it as an effort to promote a non-event. Yay...this recruit will still take calls from IU coaches and 9 other staffs. It’s all good. It doesn’t bother me one way or another. It’s a non-event for me too...but then again I’m a middle aged non-twitter/social media using adult. What kids like to do and especially social media followers like and do doesn’t make much sense to me but more power to them...it’s fun for them and makes them happy. I don’t have a lot in common with any of these kids and don’t begrudge them a thing. I simply don’t care much about that sort of stuff..simply because I understand I don’t relate to them...and that’s not a bad thing. In realizing I don’t relate I also realize I don’t need to judge because I don’t understand them lol. So if a kid does or doesn’t make a list or have an announcement party etc means no difference to me. I look at the things I do understand...their leadership, academics, work ethic, and on court performance and base my judgements on those things. The rest is just ancillary stuff imo and isn’t a big deal for me to argue one kid over another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass Cannon Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 tweeting out offers is for the fans more than anybody. We only know players have offers because they tell us. And the main way of doing that is by tweeting us. Imagine how crazy the boards were if we didn’t even know which kids had offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am personally picking up TK later this week so he can sign his letter of intent, then we are heading to beautiful Lake Monroe to celebrate. Serious note, my assumption is we are in the drivers seat and it should be anytime. Again just an assumption here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this is another one that I would be shocked if we didn't land. Give me a class of Duncomb, Kaufman, and Wesley. Miller I could see popping also. I still don't have a clue what Aminu's deal is. Would I take him, yes. But...I've never liked guardians paving the way for a player. He's a great player and seems like a great kid, but give me Wesley 9 times out of 10. No worries on the bad intel, always appreciate when people bring info they are getting to this board!

I would be more excited to hear about another true center on our radar but maybe Archie is ok playing small if he has shooters/scorers as opposed to what we’ve had past couple years. As for time frame goes...whose appointment book/calendar has looked the same during this whole pandemic?! I mean everything has been delayed or thrown up in the air due to all this. Heck I don’t even know if my dinner reservation is still on this evening much less a kid being able to make a decision on school when he can’t even take the visits he thought he would.

dwtaylor1055 Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Duncomb, Kaufman and Wesley would be a big time success in my eyes. If Miller joins, more icing on the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think it's perfect, but I think it's workable. TK might get to campus at 6'9 230 and LD 6'10 240 with both playing major aau and major HS basketball. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
