cybergates Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) I can hear Bill Rafferty saying "Nickel with the dimer!" for some reason. Edited October 21, 2020 by cybergates Thanks @IUScott for the correction 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addictedtoIU Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Tyler Nickel (a.k.a. 5 Cent) can have a Hip Hop career if he can rap. He already got a good nickname. His last name somehow reminded me of one of the hottest rappers in 2000's; Curtis Jackson a.k.a. 50 Cent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say UVA at this point can take their time on local recruits. Probably have higher ranked kids ahead of him. But if they come in later with an offer it’s going to carry plenty of weight. I mean we often wait to offer Indiana kids because of IU standing in the state. I’d say that is probably the reason. I’m sure they have plenty of communication with the kid.

The Daily Hoosier Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 Caught up with Nickel to get his thoughts on IU, his game, and more. This is a kid that I think IU will push hard for. Very impressive. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-recruiting-2022-tyler-nickel-says-its-wild-really-exciting-hearing-from-programs-like-indiana/ 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybergates Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 "He averaged 26.7 points per game for the 2019-20 season, and his 1,464 career points are the most ever by a boys basketball player through their sophomore year in Virginia High School League history."

Impressive. Impressive indeed. And lucky that we have a new assistant coach that is recruiting the East Coast hard. While Coach Miller is continuing to lock up Indiana. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 quick side note, it was Kenya Hunter who reached out to him. His recruiting is already showing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 I haven’t had a chance to study the Virginia kids, but I wonder how Nickel and Justin Taylor compare. Lot of similarities on paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruiser had us in a lot of recruitments to...but how many did he close? I’m hoping Hunter does better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen him in interviews and he comes across really well IMO. Since recruiting is a long game issue, I’m not sure he can be fairly graded for maybe even 24 months.

Sure...but I’m not going to sing his praises until he lands someone....anyone. Until then I’m wait and see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
