ArchieBall13 Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Man our uniforms and brand are just epic...obviously biased but how can TJD and KBJ put on those uniforms and NOT get excited/chills on the thought of being a "hometown" hero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGIUAndy Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I really want him. I think getting players from Fort Wayne would be a big indication of just how well Miller can recruit. A big season this year, and I think we'll be set up to be the IU of old= winning a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKIM01 Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 With the preface that I'm a happily married heterosexual, Keion is a good-looking young man. He's gonna love his time in Bloomington. ...and not that there's anything wrong with that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that plucking a kid off of Purdue's front yard and then pluck one from the shadows of the "Golden Dome" would already show that? But yeah, it would be nice to start getting getting The Fort's kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want the best in state talent and out of state kids that fit what CAM wants for our program. If by some chance in doing so we stick it to Purdue thats even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest impact of the visit was Romeo. Romeo proved to Keion that Archie isn't just a salesman, what he tells Keion is the truth. Keion loves the aspect of IU from the standpoint of what it will offer him being a member of the family even after he's done with school. Definitely positive for IU.

Billingsley99 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Lots of positive talk about us securing our lead and the players made a big impact. Dont expect the committment to be in the month of October. I still expect it before his first game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I love how Indiana kids are selling the program to the other Indiana kids. Clearly we want KBJ and TJD...but I hope the program continues to be appealing to outside kids like Hunter, Forester, and Thompson. I can see how a bunch of kids that know each other a lot already would be intimidating for an outsider to walk into and decide if he wants to go to school there. I know I'm just overreacting possibly but I hope the program doesn't become to heavily one-sided with where we get our kids. A nice 50-50 would seem to work....of course the half we get need to be the best half of our state! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to swing a bit from time to time...and I think because we have had a drought in regards to our best players in the state for a number of years so perhaps our eyes are bigger than our stomachs lol...but I think for the best mix results wise it should be something like 50-50 or 60-40 Indiana boys. Next year we would likely have Phinesse, Anderson, Armaan, TJD*, KBJ* not counting the walk-ons....so that still isn't 50-50 so we still have room....but 90-10...I'm not sure there is enough talent across the state (especially big men) to warrant that mix. Perhaps there is...but not sure realistically we could land enough talent from our state alone to win it all that way or stay at the top long term. As we will sit next year we would still have room for 2-3 more Indiana players and still be around my mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Archie is enjoying the in-state success we are having and it just so happens that this year it is mostly local kids that we are in on more so then the out of state guys. I mean last year was a pretty even mix if you count Race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm. Am I a glass half full, or half empty guy? I am focusing on the word "maintain" -- meaning we're ahead, so I'm a half-full guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With AAU and all the summer competitions, I don't think that any of the kids at the level we are recruiting would be "strangers." These kids have been competing with/against each other for a number of years. I think that it would be a rare occasion where a kid CAM is focusing on would come to Bloomington out of the blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
