I personally dont try to get too wrapped up in who is following who and what it means. A lot of these players (younger generation) they meet people and the first thing they do it follow them on social media. An unfollow is just as easy as a follow. Regardless, i do believe this shows how our players are involved in the recruiting process, and how much they are selling IU. Ok, by that logic, he didn’t meet anyone on Tenn or St J. visit? it really doesn’t work that way honestly. Same for coaches too. They don’t just follow people they meet.

I sure do hope we get him the last 2 months of the season. 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think, in the particular case it does matter... but again, its not full proof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he followed a couple doesn’t mean he is playing for all 3 teams smh. I know you are trying to be funny but a joke should at least make sense. it works other way too. For example, an assistant follows a player. They are interested. Then more assistants, the head coach, the team account etc follow them, that means they are higher priority. this is a known thing in the recruting world and have first hand experience. Does him following all those players and coaches mean he is 100% IU… no. But it for sure means it is really, really likely. Especially since he didn’t add a bunch from this weekend right after like he did IU. Edited April 17, 2023 by Initial79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are quick on here to assume arguments. Not arguing. Trying to educate as someone who has lots of experience with this. You don’t agree, no worries from me. Wasn’t “arguing” 🤷♂️🙄😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWatShot Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 Hearing that a recruit had a good visit is like hearing that somebody's surgery went well; you rarely hear the opposite. But I wish he'd hurry up and commit. The way things typically break for IU recruiting, the rare occasions where we lead for a recruit have conditioned me to expect the recruit to start adding more schools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hustle, defense, rebounding…nice qualities but certainly not rare. This early on teams are going to hold out on their precious scholarships for the elite prospects and those with unique attributes to fill out a team. Everyone wants a kid like this in their back pocket in case they can’t get their first or second target…he is the fall back player…if he is wanting to hear he is going to be the receive more opportunity etc I doubt he is going to find it at the power 6 level.
