So AJ helping us with Skyy and another Georgia kid who might just want to get out of football country and head to Hoopsville. Top 30 prospect who understands that if/when Lander leaves early he could slide right in. Look...I'm a Crean fan. Always liked him for a variety of reasons....but Archie has a plan and getting in early w/kids. Some coaches still scrambling for 20....and Archie is making his moves early for 22 and in some cases 23. Love the approach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent14 Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 This seems like a kid who would be attracted to the B1G's style of play. I'm making an early crystal ball pick that we get him. If we do remember this on page one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 Bruce sounds like an incredible fit. Tough, tenacious, pass first. I’m all in. We are in on so many guys where I just love their games and fits to what we are doing. Thornton and Shawn Phillips would be great in that class as far as adding juice to our potential earlier classes. This summer might be interesting as far as who we might get momentum with in that class. Jalen Washington, Sky Clark, some of the wings like Loving-Watts or McNeely, and on and on. The big thing we are missing out on is the kid who emerges out of the blue. It happens every year since kids of that age change so rapidly in so many ways (growth spurts, growing into your body, skill improvement etc).

DWB Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 I found it interesting that while Thornton has over 12 offers, all of the ones listed were not "top tier" schools. No UVA, no UK, no Duke, no NC, no KU. Could this kid be a diamond in the rough, and Archie is seeing something the other coaches don't? Also, it looks like we're getting in a little late compared to other schools, but then again, we're the 1st "brand name" (don't beat me up for that term) school to offer. So if the offer got his attention, then I guess it doesn't matter when he gets it. Purdue offered so some would consider them a "brand name". Not sure I do.

Indiana has been in contact with Bruce for awhile now, since like March. So their not late compared to the other schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 I like Coach Crean. However. He made one fatal mistake. Pissing off Indiana High School coaches in Indiana. Hoping he has learned from that. Georgia is not the hot bed, like Indiana is for BB talent. Yet over the years some good talent has come out of Georgia. Wishing all the best for Coach Crean. It will be interesting to see how the battle over Bruce Thornton shakes down. Special shout out to TDH for bringing this to our attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not overly enamored with the rankings game but the latest Rivals report listed him as #19 in the '22 class. I have no answer for why no "top tier" offers when he's rated that high so just take this FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many other high tier offers, other than IU and Marquette. And I still have to laugh at one IU fan who said all Vic could do was dunk at a fraternity. And would never amount to much.

From high major programs, Notre Dame, Clemson, Maryland, Missouri, Pittsburgh, Providence, Virginia Tech and Xavier also offered him. It came down to Notre Dame and IU. This is a lie from Crean and Oladipo that I get sick of hearing. Dude had plenty of high major offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
