Popular Post RoadToZion Posted September 17, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 I have connections at LaLumiere so hopefully I can get some intel on how this recruitment will shake up. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 This is his second visit. His dad has said very positive things in the past. He is probably my favorite recruit in 2023. He had me at competitor, tough D, and floor general. I also would be very happy to get a top player from Illinois. it is fertile recruiting ground that is nearby that we can hit hard. I would love to see an early commitment his junior year so we can go into next summer with a top player (or two, e.g., Kaleb Glenn), and leverage the momentum. The pied piper effect. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Campus full of energy never hurts in recruiting....I just like the fact of who we are targeting. We aren't trying for the undervalued kid who will develop over 3-4 years. Going after high talent, immediate impact guys. One thing I know is this in coming years. If you see the court at IU....you've earned it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadToZion Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Why do those Hoosier Hysterics creeps have access to our basketball team and recruits? Did you guys see that video of them and Fears? 100% cringeworthy. They are the weirdest of weird. Get them out of here. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The humor part is part of their routine as they are entertainers who have separated themselves from every other website, poster, podcast. Like them or not, they have access to the IU basketball complete family. And haves acess to the team and coaches. Personally, I find them funny and enjoy them. In show buisness you have to create an identity to get a following. They did that AND have the coaches on board. Furthermore, the players seem to like them. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadToZion Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 I know one recruit who was very turned off by them, fwiw. Their gimmicks won’t last long. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 That illini account that reposted it likes to start stuff with everyone. They have with a UK player and dickinson from michigan as well. You can tell the jokes was in good fun but i agree it shouldnt of happened in the first place. If theres going to be fan - recruit interaction it should be like how we did for clowney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't that be true about anyone who puts themselves out there? It would be interesting to see if this recruit ends up at IU and gets an NIL opportunity from HH....would the recruit turn that down? Not everyone gets a sitdown invite to Coach Knights home. Not everyone gets access to practices, and coach offices. I would be interested to hear how the conversation came up about thr recruit being turned off. That is not an organic conversation, unless the person asking is doing a similar thing as the HH do and reach out and talk to recruits.

I knew a player (he went to my high school) who was on the team with someone we were recruiting. You can PM me for the name if you want. But he went on to play for a team in the Big East, and recently transferred. Easy to figure out but I don’t want to state the recruits name directly.

Sports is an entertainment buisness and I enjoy their access and how they make those they interview real people. Also, the access behind closed doors. I could do without the references made to "other activites" with them being an extension to the programs. But, from this fan that is my only criticism. Everyone has a choice to like or dislime an act. I was just trying to show a different perspective and view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKIM01 Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 I'll add to the pile on here. I've not seen a lot of their stuff, but what I have seen is pure cornball. I had no idea they had access to recruits, but yeah...I'd stop that right now if my small sample is representative of their shtick. Let folks like TDH do the heavy lifting here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Robby Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 In the since deleted 25 seconds I watched, all I saw was 2 major fan boys acting like they were 13 when around a high school student. If it would have been a random fan, ok, strange...but these guys seem connected. Weird. But it's the world we live in now...everybody has a camera at all times. Ready for the hs and college hoops seasons to start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
