It will be interesting to see how it plays out if Lively ends up at Duke as well.

I’ve watched him play multiple times. He’s legit.

Whats the story with his recruitment? Did we ever really connect there?

And lets not forget Richard Mandeville.

You have to wonder what a guy like Mandeville would've done elsewhere. I would definitely say that about Jason Collier.

IU needs a good season. Then recruiting could get interesting.

I agree. I think Rosemond will carry our 2022 group. 

At what point does his influence start to benefit the program? 

From the highlights I watched of him I though he was the best big man we has offered. The call them highlights for a reason though. 

I think with his family relationships with IU he should be ours to lose. His length and the sense of urgency to his game make him my favorite of the class. He and Glenn together would be exciting. 

Sleeper stud. He's a 4 position player. 

My God is this kid 24? lol

I think him and Hooks are a dynamic duo. He could be a Nic Anderson for us. 

with Shiffano and Banks probably pencil in a Portal guard. 

Then the 2023 class will be impressive. Just my humble opinion. 

Fife talks to him and the next day he's on campus. I love the skillset. I'd like to land him and Parks to go with Hooks and Glenn. 

Talked to a guy that sees a lot of this one. My question was about his motor. He said "in spurts he looks like he cares about winning."

Looks like a weight problem that got hot from outside at an AAU event. Look at his legs. 

I look at this kid and would love him to be a lock down Stacey Augmon type for us. I have hopes that CMW can get that out of Geronimo. Every great team needs that guy in the line-up. His coach gives a really honest summary of his game. 

So Purdue is the team to beat on this kid because of the 3 years they put into it and location, location, location. 

He's a modern day Andre Patterson with bad knees. It would be nice to get a footprint in that part of the country. 

Duke will be a nice place for the youngster. He's an East Coast kid, like Taylor and we haven't proven ourselves yet. Rosemond will save our 2022 class. Personally, I have guarded optimism with this kids game. I'm 50 years old and when I think of 6'10-11" thin big men that shoot from the perimeter I have Robbie Eagers and Magnus Pelkowski nightmares. 

I'd rather have early commits from Freeman and Parks. 

I gotta get over and see this kid. One thing stands out about his high school v. traveling team. They run zero plays for him at the AAU circus. He looks like a kid that would sit for Bo Ryan a year maybe two then make our lives a living hell twice a year. I'm old fashioned when it comes to the 5 spot. Master your craft 5 feet and in. He reminds me of Joe Klien with a little Adam Keefe. 

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.
