Doesn't seem like a reclassification if true so I think we can rule that out of a possibility right? I'm hoping in the next 5 or 6 months that the "SHARKS" don't smell blood in the water and look to bite! If MD or IU hasn't moved the needle enough to commit, I'm curious if a KY, NC, MSU, KS or Duke interest would make a difference even if by a bit? Could this Pandemic be a blessing in disguise or will that dream be flushed at the enemy's despise? The longer it goes for the chances of these High Profile teams, the longer the odds for HSN it may seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they want to physically see things, so that’s a hold up for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AM and IU have been talking about a date for an official since that time which was expected to be after the season. Unfortunately the Pandemic has changed those plans.

Bottom line is this kid has been on campus during an actual game time event so I ask, what will an actual official visit mean for his future as it seems a live event vs the Leagues best should be enough?? I'm telling all here, he's hoping for the BIG Dogg's to come calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slojoe Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 The 2 articles from TDH sited in this thread note that he was setting up an official. It doesn't really look like he's waiting on another offer. Also, thought I read somewhere (not in any of the articles cited in this thread) that he is interested in the quality of the education. I don't think the school he is going to is a basketball factory. I don't think it would be unusual for a top 25 recruit to make more than one visit.

If I'm a prospect and I've been on campus during a live game atmosphere vs the best the league has to offer, what else is left that you need an official visit? I'm asking here as I don't understand the circumstances that is being described. I'm asking the coach's and scouts of the game to try to explain to me this mindset as it doesn't make sense if you've been on campus during the biggest stage.

If he cares about academics at all then he would want to be able to talk to people in that area. Also on official visits he can see what the campus life is like and be able to hang with the players.

I guess I'm overlooking this kid's skill set to believe that such a future dominant player cares so much about academics that it surely can't be true. Here I believed we were actually in the running for a possible FR National Player of the year candidate but to hear that real intellect may be in the equation has me wondering! No wonder KY, MSU or NC hasn't even sniffed in his direction as the kid seems to have a head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUProfessor Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 I thought that I read that Mohammed drove in the morning of the Maryland game and drove back to Missouri that afternoon. So he probably barely got to see any of the town, facilities, etc. I assume that's why he is waiting for an OV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, even given your assumption that he's a OAD and doesn't need to find anything more about IU is faulty. As IUP said he was at IU for only the game. He would need more information to make a good decision even if he's only planning on being here only one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are probably over hyping this kid because he has gotten those numbers against pretty weak competition. Also we have had higher rates kids who has done quite well academically like Allan Henderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have lived in Bloomington and been to College Park many times... the coaches at UMCP will have to be very creative in their routes if they do not want College Park to seem like a dump... I assume they have upgraded facilities since being integrated into the B1G. If academics, they are both very good schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD is arguably the best this conf has to offer and if they see what I see, why don't IU? Let's not let a top team in our conference land a player that could make them dominant when IU is right in the mix. We shall see who is correct.

There have been plenty of #1 seeds upset before the sweet 16. One didn't get out of the first round. Upsets happen and the tournament is a crap shoot every year, but Cody had two great seasons at IU. His career certainly isn't defined by a bad game or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not quite sure what you are debating about here. I responded to your original comment questioning if there were high level recruits who valued education. Your response is about how you perceived his success and that of the class that came in with him. We are not even talking about the same topic.
