He's "only" 101 in 247 composite, so while a 4* good get for IU, not sure there should be expectations of dominance as a HS junior on a team with other talented players.

and Cody was at 11 last year, so maybe when he gets back he could get to 15 too..

Sounds good to me. It would be nice for IU to have a 7 footer "project" like Turdue for once. Not so much of a project like Tijan or April, but a kid like this that committed to our current asst coach at UConn and had an offer from U of AZ.

Gordon, Bryant, & Oladipo?

247 says it was Kenya Hunter who recruited him to UConn

Get a HS Gary Harris vibe from watching that

Can't find much on this kid even though he's a 4*. Odd.

If you ask me, he most resembles TG on our current roster. Both parents played college ball and coach now. Makes up for (perceived) lack of athleticism with toughness and basketball IQ. Winning player. TG is seeing the court sooner than his rank suggested he should. I could see the same happening for BS if we were to offer and land him.

SIAP Sounds like he would commit on the spot to a fUK offer... The Cats also seem well-positioned for the No. 2 point guard in the 2023 class: Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn, a 6-foot playmaker from Lafayette, Ind., and the No. 9 overall player in the class. 247Sports profiled Gibbs-Lawhorn late last week. He already holds scholarship offers from Indiana and Purdue, but he mentioned Kentucky as a “dream school” and says he’s been in recent contact with new UK assistant coach Bruiser Flint, who was previously at Indiana. “They said it was just an introduction and they want to reach out to me more and whenever I can, to come on a visit,” Gibbs-Lawhorn told 247Sports. “They’re like my dream school, if I got an offer from Kentucky I’d probably start crying, not going to lie. Just growing up as a kid, Kentucky was always looked at as a higher basketball program who always got their players drafted and one and done out of high school. My goal is the NBA, and I feel like Kentucky can lead me to that.” https://www.kentucky.com/article247610530.html

@BGleasTatum finally didnt do the step back 3 for the win.

Seems underrated at #154 in the 247 composite (11/15/20) https://247sports.com/PlayerSport/Avery-Brown-at-Northfield-Mount-Hermon-256354/RecruitRankHistory/

He's going to be so old. This a shot from next year...

Wow accountability? Or take it now during a season when you're not elite and the tournament might not happen anyways? I'm guessing the latter.

Don't you mean MVPG? “I’m back with my trainer that I had my MVP season,” PG told Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson. “I’m locked in, as locked in as you can be… I’m on motherf**ker’s asses this year.” George never won an MVP. He was referring to the closest he ever got when he finished third in the voting in 2019.

Can't believe we haven't offered yet? https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/2020/12/29/high-school-athletes-sacrifice-person-school-keep-teammates-safe/6510504002/

Probably. Usually goes to the coach of the team with the best record or a team that outperformed expectations it seems?

Took a $20 flyer on +2500 for Nate to be coach of the year
