Sounds like this young man and his mama were thoroughly impressed. Loved these two... "TDH: Is the distance from home going to be a factor for you? Newton: No, not for a school like Indiana." And... "TDH: So did this visit move the needle for you when it comes to Indiana? Newton: Yes, it did." Edited October 17, 2021 by IUFLA 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some cringe at it but social media does matter. His Mom was on this morning singing the praises about IU, Staff, and Fans....2 hours later she's received over 500+ likes...which for a Sunday morning and as little as followers as she has that is saying something. She's probably for the first time asking her kids how to to turn off notifications haha. Put it this way. When she was at Georgia (home state/school) she received 53 likes. Great article and follow up as always! Edited October 17, 2021 by Seeking6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Daily Hoosier Posted October 17, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 It is becoming a theme -- Mike Woodson is connecting with recruits by being himself. "It was just crazy talking to him, he’s just like a regular person, super humble, respectful, he’s just like a super cool guy, his relationship with his players, he just seems like a really good person to have as your coach." https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-recruiting-post-visit-qa-with-2023-top-70-guard-jakai-newton/ 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 Love the reports that he plays hard and defends. He’s reportedly a very good athlete. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post IUwins0708 Posted October 18, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Should’ve hired Woodson 10 damn years ago! Although he might not have been the coach he is today. Guy is killing it! 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwtaylor1055 Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 seems like a common theme from recruits comments. CMW is connecting and connecting in a BIG way. That goes a long way. IMO he's exceeding expectations off the floor, we're about to see on court actions here soon. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will never know obviously, but wonder where the program would be even if he was hired instead of Archie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on early returns at least off the court....we wouldn't be sweating out Selection Sunday for starters. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what those I trust are saying we are at least in a very good spot as of right now That rumor got started on Peegs. A guy said he had a friend that gets info and texted him to tell him he'd committed. Rabby and Peegs chimed in and said that did not happen. That said IU is in a great spot after the visit and the whole family walked away very impressed. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUrocker Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 If we hear that our next commitment comes from Newton, knowing that Clowney’s official commitment happens in less than two weeks, then that’s quite the double whammy happening here shortly. Knowing we already have JHS, Banks, and Gunn onboard, adding Clowney and Newton really has us looking good. The vibes IU basketball are producing right now are incredible. So exciting to know IU has its swag back. Look out. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
