bluegrassIU Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 1 hour ago, HoosierDaddyNYC said: Thoughts from a long-time reader and first time poster.....I'm from the northeast (NYC) and have a daughter at IU. I also lived minutes from Long Island Lutheran for 20 years so I have some perspective on both St. Johns and LuHi. This kid mentioned that the feeling he gets when he steps on the campus is important to him and he wants to feel like "I could be here". Let me tell you something - nobody feels that way about St. Johns. It's a commuter school in Queens, NY and its not much to look at. Long Island Lutheran, on the other hand, is a beautiful campus in a special setting. I love the feeling I get every time I step on the IU campus and/or walk up Kirkwood towards campus. It's a special place and it feels like college. If this kid really cares about that, I feel like he'll have that feeling the second he visits. He might end up at St Johns because of its proximity to NYC, because of his Puerto Rican heritage and the strong Puerto Rican community in the area but if he's looking for more of a "college" experience in a special setting (like his HS), Archie might have a real good chance of landing him. I think a visit would be a huge influencer here. Welcome to posting. You seem intelligent, so please post more often. We need somebody to offset 5fouls and zline.

The culture and Hispanic flavor in the neighborhood and distance to Puerto Rico along with how they play I think he ends up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Received one over the weekend from a kid who had offers from Rutgers and hometown San Diego St. The one they want is Adam Miller to fill Ayo's role when he leaves after this year. Mac Irvin kid. He'll probably say yes to them in time but nothing to worry. Just the Mac Irvin guys leaving crumbs just to make sure the door is open. The big talents from them and area aren't headed to Illinois anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking to my Uncle who is a big U OF I fan and he said they actually had some decent commits that were foreign kids who NCAA ruled ineligible for grades and had to go to prep school and they would’ve been top 100 kids I believe? 🤷🏻♂️ #oops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg haggard Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 We made Curbelo's final 5. But I was wondering if we get Curbelo will it cost us Lander? What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 Looking at the final list, I have to think this one is a longshot. Miami has the culture and isn't afraid to get dirty, St. John's is home, Oregon has Nike money if they want him, and Illinois apparently has a former teammate of his father's on their staff.

I am more worried about St Johns. I don’t think a majority of kids worry about that. Worst case scenario they get granted a transfer. They are going to do what is in their best interest and ignore the outside narrative. Also we are talking about a kid from Puerto Rico. It’s not like he is going to be scared of a little corruption.
