Brice Sensabaugh Commits to Ohio State
Hoosier Diamond Hands replied to NCHoosier32's topic in Basketball Recruiting
Cool story. Thanks for sharing. Looks like he's built for the Big Ten. Some of our more recent offers are physical players - the two 2023 guys Colvin and Kaleb Glenn then this player for 2022. -
2022 CG Jalen Hood-Schifino Commits to INDIANA!!
Hoosier Diamond Hands replied to Vincent14's topic in Basketball Recruiting
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. -
2022 CG Jalen Hood-Schifino Commits to INDIANA!!

I like getting kids from the sports academies. They play and practice against high level competition every day. Montverde currently has 5!!! players in the 247 top 33. -
Kyle Filipowski (2022)
Hoosier Diamond Hands replied to The Daily Hoosier's topic in Basketball Recruiting
He's talking to dudes like you chief. This staff is just getting started. They landed one of the five best recruits in the Big Ten with Tamar Bates. Any team recruiting nationally will lose most of these battles for players like Filipowski. Unless you are a troll on here to torture IU fans then keep on keeping on.- 137 replies

2022 CG Jalen Hood-Schifino Commits to INDIANA!!
Hoosier Diamond Hands replied to Vincent14's topic in Basketball Recruiting
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. -

He visits Duke next week. -
Pretty sure mentioning Kaufman was banned in the terms and conditions when I signed up for this site It will be interesting if the close to home thing is a factor because Michigan State isn't much further than West Lafayette. Purdue needs to get Washington's commit next week and have him cancel all other visits. The Spartans are going to negitively recruit heavily here as Izzo has sent several recent players at Washington's position to the NBA and the last time they lost a PF to Purdue it was Swanigan.

Sometimes there is a wisdom of the crowd effect. As when Justin Taylor announced his commit date every Syracuse message board and social media account said it was over. Some people on those Cuse sites knew something. You can see StlBoilers response. Lots of Purdue fans have heard Washington will pick Purdue. Theres going to be some real shocked and sad Boilers if he goes to North Carolina or Stanford.

Just to stir some discussion
Hoosier Diamond Hands replied to Muddy River's topic in General Basketball Discussion
This. Agree with every word. And I think Roberts had a chance to stay on in some sort of administrative role, but wanted to keep coaching. Great topic starter for general discussion!!! -
Justin Taylor 2022 Commits to Syracuse
Hoosier Diamond Hands replied to The Daily Hoosier's topic in Basketball Recruiting
IU isn't superior academically and in fact is behind Syracuse in the US News college rankings. I love Indiana, but there are other great schools each with compelling selling points to basketball recruits. In reading the Syracuse message boards the Orange pitched Taylor on taking Buddy Boeheims spot in the offense. Buddy personally recruited Taylor. That's why he also turned down UNC and Virginia who are much closer to home and as you stated are indeed better colleges academically. As the above poster mentioned IU is in no position to look down on Syracuse. I have total confidence this coaching staff will be formidable recruiters. We will miss more than we get. On to the next one. -

Eventually Filipowski will be a 5-star recruit. -
Justin Taylor 2022 Commits to Syracuse
Hoosier Diamond Hands replied to The Daily Hoosier's topic in Basketball Recruiting
I guess you never give up until it's official. But I saw Rabbys post. He has a source that said IU wasn't an option. I've not seen any reason online to be optimistic about Taylor announcing for Indiana. -
2023 Myles Colvin Commits to Purdue
Hoosier Diamond Hands replied to go_iu_bb's topic in Basketball Recruiting
Depending on the major I'd encourage my kid to go to Purdue over IU. And I'm a lifelong Hoosier. -

I think he's visiting Duke soon. -
Kaleb Glenn - 2023
Hoosier Diamond Hands replied to The Daily Hoosier's topic in Basketball Recruiting
Those are amazing post visit quotes. Similar to Jeremy Fears. I don't remember seeing any comments like this after visits to Bloomington in the past. -
Justin Taylor 2022 Commits to Syracuse
Hoosier Diamond Hands replied to The Daily Hoosier's topic in Basketball Recruiting
Only two teams in the Big Ten have more than one 2022 commitment. UK has one commit and Duke has zero players committed. Baylor only has one commitment. Some of the highest ranked guys on our list have yet to visit campus. -
2023 Myles Colvin Commits to Purdue
Hoosier Diamond Hands replied to go_iu_bb's topic in Basketball Recruiting
In the article that started this thread he said he was offered by Fife and Woodson. Coach Woodson is new at this but certainly Dane Fife knows enough about recruiting to avoid offering a kid who is a mortal lock for Purdue. Those father/son college connections don't always work. If they did Sean May would have been a Hoosier. -
Justin Taylor 2022 Commits to Syracuse
Hoosier Diamond Hands replied to The Daily Hoosier's topic in Basketball Recruiting
No matter who Taylor picks there's going to be some big time college basketball programs who missed. That's how it's going to work for every highly rated recruit. The coaching staff gets a long leash after keeping most of our players in the portal then landing Tamar Bates. My first post!!!
