dgambill Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Man what is it about Xavier but they love our Indiana kids. I feel like they offer/watch more Indiana kids then Ohio ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 And he's not the only one! There are several good kids down here in our neck of the woods for 2021..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re absolutely right, but I would venture to guess that Indiana turns more talent, especially around the southern part of the state and Cincinnati. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADegenerate Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Talked to my pops who’s been officiating for something like 20 years (Evansville area) and he insists that he’s good but doesn’t see star potential yet. Random nugget of info for you guys... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Indiana is generally better at basketball than Ohio. Edited July 20, 2018 by jimsorgi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the fact that Archie has built relationships in Ohio and obviously has a ton in Pennsylvania.....those are still very good states for basketball recruiting. The only area bigger would be if we could attract the kids from Chicago but who knows...when we've been at the top of our program we interested some....so its possible again!

Random nugget of info for you guys... He is a bit small but heck he has a lot of time to grow. If he is a late bloomer and Archie is already got eyes on him then that would put us at a huge advantage! Could be the next Robert Phinesee who knows.

Many of the programs in our general area know that you could be very good year in and year out if you load up with players fromthe state of Indiana 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Daily Hoosier Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 It is going to be interesting to watch this kid develop. Lander and Blackmon look like they could be a pretty special backcourt one day. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/evansville-reitz-point-guard-khristian-lander-gets-national-recognition-as-one-of-top-players-in-2021/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Xavier is located in Cincinnati, so, proximity is surely part of the equation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh for sure...but I wasn't familiar with the coaching ties to the state until someone pointed it out. There have been countless recruits going there...less to Cincy though. Now that Mack is in Louisville I was hoping things might change but now we have Holtmann, Mack, Izzo, Alfred, and now Steele who has those Indiana ties is there too....that's not even the local schools....Archie has a lot of competition for our best boys is all.

Well.....as long as he plays defense I have no issue with him. Since I don’t think Archie would bring anyone in that won’t then I’m not too concerned.

ADegenerate Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Drawing a blank here...was Chaeney the last Evansville kid on scholarship? I think Kyle Taber might have been gifted one his senior year but that doesn't count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyle while talented was a total basket case. There was that kid from Memorial that played for Pitino at Louisville and of course the kid from Castle who plays at Iowa. I can't think of any other high major players from the area in recent memory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADegenerate Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 I went to HS with Dedrick Finn who went to Xavier with David West and was a top 100 player and is the only one near my age that I can remember being a top 100 player.
