Well, it's nice to see him engaged and thinking about IU but unless he said "this place blows", it's just "interesting" to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TN_Hoosier Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) After finishing my Doctorate at IU in 1990, I worked at VT for four years as a Research Scientist. Their campus, basketball facility and town/City do not compare to IU's campus, Assembly Hall and Bloomington. And, there's no comparison there to IU's fan base.

The guy that shared that info is well connected to the athletic department and said he had more info he was withholding out of respect for his source.

Billingsley99 Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 I don't see him canceling his final visits but it seems the 2 realistic choices were visits 1 and 2 and now that they are behind him we are clearly in control of this at this moment. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he will either. I'm a different type...impulsive and impatient, maybe? If I were as blown away on my first visit as it sounds like he was, I would have decided not to blow four more weekends visiting schools I wasn't going to attend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are a 17 or 18 year old kid that will be "wined" and dined and an opportunity to take in a game with a lot of beautiful co eds at someone else's expense. I am taking all my visits for sure. You never know just where might be that perfect fit, leave no doubt . In the end I feel he will be a Hoosier 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day before Jimmy put the Kibosh on it...Canes would get visits from Northern recruits all the time in November and December. Weather visits if you will. If I'm him I'm definitely taking all my visits and soaking it all in...especially on college campuses in the fall. As long as he's honest with each staff sign me up for those trips for him and his family. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chance meeting with someone, a cant explain it kind of connection that just says this is the right place. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he's honest with each staff sign me up for those trips for him and his family. I imagine from my own personal experience that was successful. While in HS, I visited relatives in Arizona around Thanksgiving. I fell in love with the winter weather at that time since I can't stand cold and snow. Indiana isn't as bad as other places as far as those are concerned but it's still colder and gets more snow than I want to have to deal with. After that visit my goal was to move to AZ. I've been there for 13 years now. So I imagine FL weather in the winter can only help recruiting so having visits during that time is a smart move. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
