Great info.  What would you say about his X’s and O’s and player development experience?

I don’t think I can speak directly to it because not quite that in tune with him, but he has been around terrific basketball minds his whole life. Also if you watch Bradley, they play some pretty basketball and Adams is apart of game planning from what I’ve read and heard so I would lead to believe that his X’s and O’s are solid, but his hand would be a little more recruiting due to his strong ties

Well if it makes you feel better that was gonna be my guess was video department so you sounded good lol

I believe he was in video dept for Crean

Thank you sir, I knew it was something of that nature and sounds right

Awesome. 

It would be hard to imagine him turning it down, right?

You would have to think so, I mean Indiana is a big step up from Bradley and he’s from Bloomington. I believe but don’t quote me that he had a previous position with an Indiana staff in the past but not as a coach so he knows the program. He was an Indiana fan growing up

Adams would be a great pick up. Strong Indiana and Midwest ties. Also in reference to a comment above, Adams does have his hand in the European recruiting world. He’s a Bloomington kid and actually played AAU ball with my brother and is just a class act guy. Many people who are actually informed (not me lol) says that he would definitely be interested and I think he would be a great fit

Yes sir

Great to see a great poster like yourself back 0708!! Curious when this phone call was made and I also saw somewhere that Duncomb was informed that he would like the new coach also, you hear anything about this?

Penix deep out route, the timing and the strength of it.. is very, very impressive. 

The one he threw to Fryfogle against I think MSU where he just threaded it right past the defender by inches and then fryfogle broke free for another like 10 or so yards was just absolutely beautiful!!

Ehhh... I saw him throw one 52 yards on a rope against Avon this year. We'll see if his deep out route is as talented as MP. 

I didn't see him live, so I trust your opinion better than mine! Either way he has a tremendous arm, just curious to see the polish of it on some of those deep routes.

I think he has Penix arm and Lewis speed/elusiveness. He is a good basketball payer too on the #1 team in 4A. He doesn't score a lot of points, but he starts does the dirty work. Obviously he wants to win. No reason for a D1 athlete in a different sport, to play basketball and be a role player, if they didn't care about winning. 

Absolutely, he seems to just have the winning attitude and is just an athelete. I don't think his arm is as talanted as Penix, but close.

You trust the service that had Whop as the 199th WR in his class? Or Fryfogle the 243rd WR? Or Micah McFadden the 1986th OVERALL player in his class? 

I don't think any recruiting service is worth a hill of beans. 

Very very true, but I think 247 hits more then it misses. It's all personal opinion, plus 247 has a lot more of scouts working for them and people searching to look at players than Rivals does. Just my opinion that I trust 247 more, but at the end of the day ranking is just a number. What they put on the field is what truly matters and either way Mcculley looks like he's going to be a great college QB

Gotcha, thanks for that. I don't really trust Rivals rankings in my personal opinion which is why I was confused. Thanks

I've been saying for a while that he's the #1 recruit I want for next year. Having a stud guard would be huge. He'd be our highest ranked OL by a lot. On 247 he'd be our 9th best recruit in their rankings history. Cronk is our highest OL at 18th best.

I'd love to hear if anybody has any insight too. Really interested to know what our chances are here.

Not my intel, just passing on what I have read elsewhere. He likes indiana, but there is a feeling he wants to get away for school which is why Penn State, Oregon, and other schools are in his top 8 also. Rumor is Penn State might be in the driving seat as of now, but a lot of race left to go and we are definitely on the track.

We have one signed. 

We do? I don't believe that we do. Our highest recruit is Jacquez Smith who is ranked 241?

Pete Rose? 500 HRs?

Mantle one time said of Rose, "If I'd have played my career hitting singles like Pete, I'd have worn a dress."

He also, along with Whitey Ford, gave Rose the nickname " Charlie Hustle" and it wasn't a compliment...

Apparently The Mick was not a fan...

Yeah I should of known that, he was more a contact hitter than power hitter

Easy trivia today . 

Name the only 2 members of the 500 homerun club that were switch hitters?

Mantle and the infamous Rose? Just trying to think of the best switch hitters I could think of

Just offered today out of PA, he is a 6-7 wing forward that averaged 20 and 10 in his sophomore year. Fun fact, but he plays at the same school that Mike Roberts played for.

We ordered delivery tonight. Took less than half the normal time to get here.  I doubled the normal tip.  Driver asked : "Are you sure ?" I said yes.  He left with a thank you and big smile on his face. 

Good for you mile!! Need more people like you! I am still in college and I am an assistant manager at a local pizza place here in Knoxville, TN and people don’t understand that even just a few more bucks to the people that serve them or deliver to them or work to go and give them the food goes  along way for them! Not all young people are just wanting to spring break some of us work hard and every dollar counts! Support the local establishments because they need it!

Does anyone know if he is still growing/ expected to grow further? I see him listed as a center but also at 6'8".  Be nice to grow anouther couple inches if he is going to be our main interion option after Race graduates.

I think I read somewhere that he’s expected to get to a legit 6’10 but I could be wrong

No. The option is on the table for Lander to reclassify to the 2020 class but that is it. 

Not completely true actually. We are also on Carter Whitt who is more likely than Lander to reclassify to 2020 according to experts and I'm pretty sure I saw we are in contact with a JUCO Pg somewhere but could be wrong there.

Of all the kids at IU he seems to be enjoying himself the most. He really has been pro-IU as a kid can be. Do I think he could leave if he continues to play this well throughout the season....absolutely be hard to pass up. His lifelong dream likely and a chance to set his family for life. Who knows when you might blow out your knee etc. That said I do think he will be here for one more year...but past that...all bets are off.

Yeah agree completely!

While my heart wants to agree with you, we have seen numerous cases of players leaving ready or not.  His potential is what he and others will expect/hope gets him drafted.  But have we heard any talk that he's thinking of only staying one year?

I’ve heard rumors that he isn’t even considering it, but I mean as a young guy when millions of dollars are on the table I have to think he’s a least considering it. Just would bet that he doesn’t actually leave

Yeah no way Trayce stays 3 years....we will be lucky he comes back next year at this rate! His potential is really really high and the NBA will pay for it.

I don’t see Trayce leaving after this year at all in my opinion. He has shown no jumper and the NBA big man theses days needs to be able to shoot. Plus Trayce is only like 6’9 he’s shorter that most NBA big men so he needs to be able to shoot and he has not proved that yet

Oh it definitely helps for sure that we had those connections with those guys. And I think it’ll help us land George’s little brother Yanni who is a stud LB in the ‘21 class. I’m sure it’ll happen for you guys at some point!

Yeah his little brother looks like a beast and I would love for IU to snag him and have a little brother rivalry going on during the bucket week, but seems like he’s leaning your guys way.

A name that Indiana football needs to be contacting for sure! A 2022 Defensive end out of Indianapolis. Plays for Brebeuf Jesuit and is a potential five star as his rating stands currently! These are kids we have to start getting some of them. We need to be trying to get a lot of these talented in state kids every year and keeping them away from Norte Dame and PU
