You've been around long enough, and close enough to recruiting to know that recruiting can get crazy at times. Our members need to understand that. And I just want to say.... thanks for all that you bring to Hoosier Sports Nation. Heck, Moses Abraham was mentioned in a thread today. And I had it on good authority (very good in fact) that when he left IU on his last visit that he told several players that he would be committing to IU. Once he was able to speak to his mom. Only to have him commit to Georgetown, a few days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 I truly don't think that the lack of a backup point guard is the root of this offer. Based on this kid's goals, he's not going to be happy in that role. So, the only things I can think of are: All of the injuries last year has Archie spooked. But, he did coach one year at Dayton with 6 scholarship players. Or, there is some roster 'adjustment' that we are not privy to yet. If so, that's disappointing, because I like the mix of who we had coming back combined with the roster additions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGIUAndy Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 I'll wait to pass judgement until I see the dude play against college players. If he's a phony, he'll ride the bench and be gone after the season. Unless he's a total "chemistry" issue I don't have a problem with this.

I didn't want to pick IU as high as fifth, but when you look at the talent lost and the lack of good recruits coming in, well... https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/big-ten-basketball-2019-20-key-roster-changes-and-first-prediction/ Thank you. I can't put IU ahead of solid programs at this time so they are behind, Michigan and sadly Purdue, along with a Wisconsin team returning a lot of solid program guys. Could see 6th or 7th, to 11th. Guessing 8th or 9th, sadly, at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple that with not making a bowl game again? Turn out the lights.....the party's over for Fred Glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall reading an article a few years ago about a high school football player that stated he had a scholarship offer to a very big program, and even had a "signing day" if I'm not mistaken. Come to find out, that school either never offered, or never even heard of the kid. So, crazier things have happened! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, wasn't a VERY big program, but still D-1 nonetheless.

This made me laugh. Thanks Indy I know the early preseason rankings don't mean squat. It is pretty sad to see us projected that low though. I just don't see this team finishing in the top five. This past season 2 or 3 wins was the difference in finishing 6th to 12th. We were one loss from being in a 4 way tie for 9th. I hope like crazy we do better but my crimson colored glasses broke long ago. Go Hoosiers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Wow...wth is going on lol. Is there a language barrier with this kid. Between that and losing Ed and @CoachSS sources and conflicts this feels like one of my wife’s reality tv shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 18 minutes ago, CoachSS said: Hey! No conflict. Kid was never offered and has not been recruited by IU so my most original post is still dead on.... as far as I know..... in my little world. This is just the weirdest thing ever. Could he be trying to use these colleges as leverage to negotiate a better contract over seas?? No matter at least this isn’t a case of commitment or not...it’s just over an offer so I guess no reason to get worked up. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 13 minutes ago, CoachSS said: Seriously. It has to. The next curveball will be a tweet saying he signed with Providence last November or something. If this isn’t true about the IU offer then I’m beginning to think he is just using the college route as a tactic to ask for more Euros from his team. Like if I don’t get what I want I’ll use my eligibility and go to college. Reaching out to a few teams then supposedly getting offers might scare them into compromising on a contract. I don’t know why else he would fake an offer unless he is trying to use it as leverage. My only thing is I wonder why we are getting conflicting info...as your insiders and the ones at rivals it appears differ. I know no one can be right 100% of the time but this is too weird.
