Team roster makeup, style fit, college academic fit, and personality....heck a lot of factors and I'm sure some will match up with their brother and some not. Some may want to make their own path and some like the legacy aspect and knowing the coaches/relationships there. Kid will let us know if he is open to recruitment...if he is...Archie will be on him. How man "Barry" brothers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steubenhoosier 3,239 Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 The Blackmon family crosses generations and each has made their own paths. I think the whole concept of continuing what the family has started is overrated. Each kid needs to do what is best for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, just saying that having a brother doesn't guarantee the other brothers. Someone mentioned the Zeller kids too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, he lied about the trouble LSU was in...reassured the Watfords that it was nothing and would blow over when it's obvious from the outside that he was blatantly cheating and the NCAA had noticed. I'm just surprised and disappointed the Watfords bought into it. No idea if he or his family received any financial inducements. That would further disappoint me. It's one thing to be ignorant of the truth. It's a whole different thing to be complicit with the lie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Being in SEC country I will say he fit well into the team and he played well. The role they carved out for him fit him really well. Likely OAD. Hard to argue with his decision.

BobSaccamanno 3,378 Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 In a sport full of corruption, Wade might be bottom of the barrel. It’s amazing he’s still in that job. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndySportsPartizan 796 Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) Things are going to heat up with Fletcher. He is into Hoosier Hysteria, his family only moved to Michigan in 2014 when his dad took a job with the Pistons. IU will offer him and it will be a big battle between Izzo, Archie, Painter, and Howard. The kid is very gifted. Edited July 14, 2020 by IndySportsPartizan 3 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly some limitations but he fits what Painter has started to really look for the last 5-6 years from his guards & wings. Higher level shooter at the expense of some athleticism and defensive prowess. The fact MSU had no interest and other midwest programs didn't feign a lot of positivity about his upside speaks volumes. But, that isn't to say he won't be a decent contributor over time for PU. I think he’s got at least as much upside as guys like Cline and Mathias who weren’t heavily recruited out of high school but turned into really solid players. Better offers than both of them too.
