Agreed, they need to create one for him on the recruiting side of things though or at least a position that allows him to interact with recruiting prospects and their families.

I am pretty sure they can create a position for him. Villanova just created one for fundraising or something.

Exactly. Rabby did mention that this one could be revisited if he still does not have a home and after the staff lands what they deem enough shooting. For example, we land Ledlum, Knecht, and another wing scorer and DeLoach still is in the portal. Also he would be guaranteed coming off the bench, so he would have to be ok with that as well. However, I find that scenario (or any scenario with DeLoach coming) extremely unlikely.

This was about landing Ware and Sparks, not Ledlum. DeLoach was a backup option. Once Ware committed, we were done taking a flyer on DeLoach

I remember her and all the smoke around follows by her. What a simpler time that was....

For all you social media follower believers, here is the run down this morning after Ledlum's other visits. This is just based on some brief searching of Instagram and I probably missed a couple. He follows one St. Johns player 4 people from UT (2 staffers, 1 player) From IU he follows Clif, Nick Virden (ops analyst), Hulls, Banks, Hogan (walk on), Isaac Green (GA), Cupps, Kel'el, Malik, Trey, X, Leal, and Adam Howard Do what you want with this info. Ledlum will be a Hoosier, in my opinion.

I think Ledlum will be a Hoosier. Plus there is almost an entire month left before the portal closes. Very well could see teams filling out their rosters and potentially some potential bigger fish hit the portal. I'm not in panic mode just yet. We've landed Ware and Sparks. If we thro Ledlum in there, that is a very solid start with still 3 spots remaining open.

Visiting UCONN this weekend. They seem to be the favorite at this point in time.

Did we recruit him out of HS? That name sounds familiar. Edit: Never mind. We did not. He is a PWO at Bama

From the Purdue board regarding Kanon: Last week, Catchings indicated to Purdue that he intended to re-open his recruitment. He did so suddenly and by himself outside of his family and coaches knowledge. It did not go over well with his family and coaches, who have been strongly in purdues corner, and remain so to this day. Since then, conversations between Purdue and the player and the family have been normal. Purdue will have an in-home visit with him Friday. Catchings is a very introverted kid. He’s starting to come out of his shell a little bit.l and does have a bit of an edge to him. He just returned from USA basketball crawling with NBA people, agents and shoe company people. He knocked everyone’s socks off there, per reports. As soon as his ranking spiked people, all kinds of people, were there hounding him….getting in his head. That’s the deal: people Chase the ranking when you have it. There’s nothing illegal about other schools contacting Catchings, but the family appreciates the fact that Painter believed in him early and nobody else did. Catching himself was pissed that nobody else offered him. Including Indiana.

Some rumors that he has backed down from his decommitment. Rumors on Peegs is that he reached out to Purdue on his own without consulting his family or anyone. His family and coaches have now asked him to reconsider and hold off.

Is Coach Ya putting on the press for Cleveland? Has to be a connection and RTZ made a comment earlier today about Ya

Plays AAU with both of them. Sisley and Haralson play a year up

As a 24 or a reclass? Asking because I've seen that floated around different places.

The kid from FSU maybe?

Is this in reference to Ware or something else cooking up...

Intriguing prospect Edit: someone online mentioned he’s from Atlanta. Obvious coach Ya connection there if true

Lots of smoke suggesting it will be happening.

Per Rabby on Ledlum: "IU a very real contender and could end up winning this one. As of right now he feels he should keep his word and make the Tennessee visit." I believe he said something very similar to this with Ware and his visit to Bama. Chooses his words wisely. Maybe I'm reaching for something that isn't there.

Harrison Ingram. Just a random player I found with an actual insider pick

The "prediction" for Knecht to Oregon is by their RPM (recruit prediction machine) and it is based off of a bunch of stuff (from their site): On3 Recruiting Insiders / Visit Center / Fan Site Insiders / Industry Leaders / Social Sentiment Media Sentiment / Geographic Data / Coaching Staff Success / State and High School Historical Data The RPM for Knecht is at 100%. This image is to show the difference in the two. The top is the RPM metric while the bottom is from an actual insider. (This is from a random player that I found that actually has a projection from a human)

Agreed, however, I put more stock into if one of their "insiders" or whatever they call them make a prediction and not their silly social media impacted projections.

On3 also had Battle to IU just before or even right after he committed to OSU. I don't trust what they have to say.

Rabby pouring some water on Knecht. Said he needs to make some calls but isn't sure if he is going to take more visits or if he is not. Obviously, if not, we aren't going to land him.
