No reason we can’t keep this kid at home with Woodys connections to Indy and NIL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be very similar in skill set and it appears Evans probably is leaning to Oregon and Nike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Robby Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 I've changed my mind on this fella. There's no reason he can't be TJD with a smooth J in college. Effort won't be an issue under Woody. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madison22 Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 From The Daily Hoosier today: "5-Star Xavier Booker put on Show for the East Coast. He quickly is becoming one of the top prospects in the Nation. Avg 23.7 pts per game 2022’ Summer Jam at Boo Williams!" Also named Outstanding Player for Jam Fest, hitting at least five 3-pointers in three of his four games (at least 15 3-pointers is how I read that). I encourage people to visit The Daily Hoosier. He's a member here and gives us a lot of great content. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/the-daily-hoosier-report-the-latest-in-iu-news-and-recruiting-notes-5-16/ 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazin Hazin Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 The other day, I was thinking that the things people are saying about Booker(low motor- doesn't love basketball) kind of reminds me of Mitch McGary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the “potential” difference is exponential. McGary was pretty close to his ceiling from a development whole Booker is just starting to scratch the surface. But no doubt re low motor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazin Hazin Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 I guess I'm more thinking that McGary was initially a guy that people felt potential wasn't worth the baggage....then exploded in a spring/summer and people felt otherwise. I think initially he was a 100-150 ranked recruit and I think he once shot up to the top 15 before dropping to the 20-30 range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These schools are offering recruits 💰 NCAA can posture and threaten but nobody cares…. it’s like good fellas….don’t be flashy with the 💵 and nobody has to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does a Duke offer - sans Coach K - still carry the same weight it did a year ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
