Hoosier Diamond Hands Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 On 6/22/2021 at 9:42 AM, RoadToZion said: Agreed. Hood-Schifino is scheduled to visit Indiana tomorrow. If Woody and Coach Hunter can land this guy he will likely be the top rated guard of all Big Ten recruits for the class of 2022. Surpsied there hasn't been more discussion about this kid. He's from Montverde Academy and is a major recruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between2Halls Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Official today, correct? This would be a HUGE addition, and IMO could get some 22 dominoes falling into place. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think would be an excellent fit for our backcourt....can play on ball or off depending on who else we have at the point. Be nice to have him playing next to Lander and possibly Fears in 23. Be a great addition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you want the right kids but there is no arguement that Montverde puts out some of the highest quality players in the country. Notable alum Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, Cade Cunningham, RJ Barrett, Scottie Barnes, Precious Achiuwa, Deangelo Russell, Luc Mbah Moute, Dakari Johnson, Andrew Nemhard, Sandro Mamukelashvili...lot's of guys coming through there in the past 10 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Diamond Hands Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 One reason this recruitment has been quiet is because Hood-Schifino has no real social media presence. He's on Twitter/Instagram but rarely posts. Which is kind of refreshing in this day and age. He's going to want to get that going to take advantage of the new NIL era, which I'm sure is being discussed during his visit. There's a good ESPN article about NIL and IU is mentioned prominently. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) This guy would be a huge get for a variety of reasons. Good size that Woody will like. Can get downhill. Very good rating. Would give us a strong backcourt with Bates and Lander. Edited June 28, 2021 by BobSaccamanno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His visit went well apparently, there’s no clear favorite, Woody has been involved in his recruiting closely, etc. But the biggest thing to me is that Kenya is the lead on him. And to be honest, I just have a ton of faith in him closing a wide open recruitment right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ba43056 Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 He plays at a sports factory and dominates in the pick and roll. Has a lot of Andre Miller in his game. I like the physical presence defensively. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid basically has no social media and doesn't seem interested in promoting himself or taking interviews. Strange cat in this day and age. Could be a great thing (kid just wants to play ball) or a red flag that he doesn't like the attention etc and maybe wouldn't handle the big stage at IU. I'll go with the positive...think the kid sees through all the bull crap online and is just about being as successful at ball as can be. No BS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
