Sea Turtle Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) Are basketball players divas? Notre Dame football has 19 commits in their class. Indiana football has about a dozen. Football season starts before basketball season. I wonder if this is just a college basketball problem in general. You can't wait until the last minute to commit and leave all the other coaching staffs to hang out to dry with no time for a a plan B.

You can't wait until the last minute to commit and leave all the other coaching staffs to hang out to dry with no time for a a plan B. So you are wondering why football players commit earlier than basketball players? You answered your own question: "Football season starts before basketball season." Many players want to get their recruiting out of the way before they start their senior seasons so they can concentrate on just that. Football starts soon but basketball is still more than 3 months away. Also, as far as the number of commitments is concerned, 12 in football is about the same as 2 in basketball from a percentage perspective. IU already has 1 commitment for 2022 and I wouldn't be at all shocked if there is 1 more before basketball season starts. Factor in that COVID really disrupted recruiting across the board and things will be out of whack for a bit. So I don't see any problem nor any indication that basketball players in general are more likely to be "divas" than football players. You seem to have a preconceived notion that they are and are therefore looking for evidence to back that up. This is known as confirmation bias. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the football high school season is where much of the exposure comes from For basketball AAU is the big draw to get noticed.Many kids blow up late and don't want to miss out on opportuniites to be seen because you commit too early.

And there's no guarantee those committed will hold their commitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And freshmen don't contribute that much in football. Basketball recruits, for better or for worse, have way more leverage and options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also we technically don’t have the spots right now so we may end up over signing for 2022 and then players decide not to leave. As the season goes on we will know more of who wants to stay and go but I mean the coaching staff has only been here 5 months and we are questioning why they haven’t started over signing yet. Also it takes time to develop relationships with this kids. Some teams have been building relationships for years so it’s not just gonna be “ Hey, I’m mike Woodson and I’m a Jeanie in a bottle and I can get you to the nba by rubbing the magic basketball” people got their wish to get rid of CAM for once be patient and let the coaching staff focus on having a successful season. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ba43056 Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 Rosemond's relationships with the SE region will carry us this year. Fife will catch his groove with the 23' class. Shifting gears from pitching MSU to IU on the kids he'd already been in with would've been hard I would think. Hunter, I hope can catch his stride soon but I think he was leading our portal efforts.

dwtaylor1055 Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 about time. Fills a good need. One of the kids I wanted the most for 2022. Hopefully more dominos start to fall 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDB Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Land JHS and a transfer and the 2022 class is a very good class. I think Banks is underrated nationally. He's oozing with potential. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the coaches had some involvement in the recruitment though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post IU Scott Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Great get and one of the recruits I hoped we get. I hope we get JHS and a big man and call it a day for the 22 class. Also wonder if Sea Turtle will be around for the good news on recruiting 8 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
