Don’t get me wrong I don’t think he ends up like Hanner. Could be a pick n roll nightmare. I will say Peckenpaughs son in law is active on a Facebook page. He’s kind of an emoji troll. He laughs off anything related to Flory. Peckinpaugh’s son in law? John doesn’t have a son in law. He is in his mid 30s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s his brother in law. Guys married to a peckenpaugh. I probably shouldn’t have said or assumed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who remember, while there was no denying his athleticism, the knock in Kemp in high school was “all he can do is dunk.” As Mike Woodson would say, “he turned out just fine.” Kemp dunked extremely well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kemp was going up against Rick Fox often in HS. Warsaw and Concord are/were in the same conference. Both future NBAers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 I've watched basically zero film of Flory... I assume he doesn't go over his right shoulder much? Regularly doesn't have to make a counter move?.. sort of thing. Absurdly good o reb, drop step, run the floor well type? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danomatic Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 Flory is extremely athletic and would thrive in the pick-n-roll, but he’s raw offensively and does remind me a little of Hanner in that aspect. I’d love to see what he could become under Woodson though. I like Queen a lot, and feel like he’s probably better suited for what I’ve seen schematically from Woodson’s offense. Burgess intrigues me, and think he could solid. Somto is a grown man. If he could develop something from the 10-15 ft range, he’d be unstoppable. Again, I’d be happy to land any of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 I wonder with Flory coming from over seas makes it easier for his coach and handlers to persuade him to a certain school. He didn't grow up watching college basketball on a daily basis so he doesn't really know about each school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Drew was going to have Hanner deported if he didn't say yes to Baylor so no clue what power these folks have behind the scenes. With NIL....there is zero chance UC can offer Flory more $ so there has to be something else besides just the Adams thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I remember about Hanner at IU, he was not only raw offensively, but he was also raw defensively. He’d make some athletic plays, but seemed to get lost all the time and was never where he was supposed to be. I haven’t seen Flory play, but I was hoping he was more like Cliff Omoruyi at Rutgers. He was raw offensively, but a very good defender from day 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having taught in kokomo and my wife still there and a buddy on the fire department and what people say about Peckenpaugh's, I add it all up to the kid won't get out of a 3 hour radius of kokomo. The international director and principal are fantastic motherly women. But they will have the kids best interests. Obviously high school coach is big purdue guy but Purdue doesn't make sense with Edey, Furst, Renn, Kaufman. My fire fighter buddy said he heard Florida prep. I said, IMG and he said that sounds right. He definitely isn't connected but people on the job are and the fire department is like middle school with rumors. Spreads like lice. Opps, brought up IMG because he will be outside of the local chatter for 10 months. Edited March 9, 2023 by NotIThatLives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euroclydon Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 NIL changes everything. Unless he can't make the grades to go to college it doesn't make sense to go the prep school route anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as we love Indiana basketball, prep school on a daily basis offers more competition with teammates than weekly competition in high school! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madison22 Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 This site gives us a less than 1% chance for Flory. I have a hard time reconciling this with the fact that he is still visiting Indiana, and enjoying his time with players and other recruits. The IU staff thinks this is worth the effort. We'll see. https://www.on3.com/db/flory-bidunga-153411/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every season you go without getting paid at this point is a gamble. Especially if you are highly sought after. At a D1 school he not only can get the NIL money but he has access to resources to prepare for his future and he likely practices daily against multiple D1 athletes. Why risk injury at a prep school and not get paid? It's about getting paid now. The sooner everyone accepts this the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
