Memory fades a bit but I thought someone on here said our staff messed up or whatever with this kid or his family. I've honestly never watched him play so I don't know if the ranking is justified or ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious of a comp. Giannis is the first guy I think of. Admittedly part of that may be just because he picked up basketball a bit later and is incredibly athletic, but that’s a pretty good starting point. Wouldn’t expect him to be Giannis like in college, that’s more long term projection. College wise think maybe what Giannis was the first couple years he was really getting minutes before he became an All Star and MVP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just never know how to rank bigs. Hopefully we can convince one of these 24 kids to say yes early so we can start building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY hoosier Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 This is key time for IU to keep stacking big time recruits. PU game was an awesome show. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 @Seeking624-25 could be a really special season for us based on the recruits we are in on and what our roster should look like. I hate labeling next year as a gap year, because I think that’ll be good (really good if JHS sticks around), but wow hard not to get excited about the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 I'm sure it was purely coincidence but was nice to see a couple of Pacers sitting near him behind the bench. Looks like Mathurin and Nembhard took the game in. Never a bad thing having pros around your program. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would hope that the program catered those guys and they were able to say what's up to our recruits. I imagine them saying, "look, I played at Arizona and he played at Florida. This is by far the best college basketball venue you will ever experience. If I was 17 again, knowing what I know, with Coach Woodson, I'd choose IU." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I get that, but in the case of the Adams they've had kids get suspended for that connection already. Do you not remember HMP and Peter Jurkin?

It was more about other connections Adams had at the time as an IU booster and the selling of some bumper stickers. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams had IU alumni association stickers on his cars. IU was afraid of scrutiny and the NCAA. This in conjunction with Scott Drew being pissed about losing Hanner. The Adams are like the bargain booster level. They would give the minimum which got the sticker. IU was so bad at this game. Also Crean hired one (Adams)as the video coordinator.

With the portal now, there better never be "gap" years. You pugs holes and keep rolling. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
