THis MM recruitment was HUGE. If we get Harper and Asa that is a home run. If we add FLory to the 2024 class that is a grand slam in my mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 Unlike most of the rest of this board, I am lukewarm at best in considering this guy, or thinking he will strongly consider IU. I cannot get past the antics his brother displayed when beating us at SSAH, and can't help but believe that Ron Jr. will be in his brother's ear. Sure I am probably wrong on this, but there are a lot of great options in this recruiting class, and don't want to bring in any negative vibes at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is a side of me that wants his bro to show up wearing IU gear to cheer for Dylan. That would be fun. 😀 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fans/media made that to be a lot more than it was. Dylan is my #1 in this class. Edited May 15, 2023 by btownqb 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And really all his brother did was celebrate after hitting a game winner, he isn't the punk that kept running his mouth. I mentioned it a few posts up, but I think there's got to be some overlap and mutual respect between Ron Harper and Woody which would at least equal whatever Jr. would say to Dylan. Ron Jr. mostly competed against Archie teams.... I'd have had plenty of crap to talk to those teams too if I was competing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harper whipped our asses while he was in college and simply let us know about it after (I assume) being trashed by our fans pretty hard for 2hrs+. Cant take the heat, get out of the kitchen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why the comparisons of Woodson to other schools (Juwan Howard, Stackhouse, Mullin, Drexler, Ewing, Hubert Davis, Stackhouse, Hardaway, etc., etc.) bringing in NBA guys was always dumb. Those were former NBA players with varying degrees, some with none, of assistant coaching experience. Mike Woodson is a legit NBA coach. This was never a former NBA player trying to revive his Alma mater. This is a legit NBA coach, with head coaching experience with two different franchises and decades of NBA assistant coaching experience trying revive his Alma Mater. Mike Woodson is a basketball coach that is also a former player, not a former player trying his hand at coaching. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I am probably wrong on this, but there are a lot of great options in this recruiting class, and don't want to bring in any negative vibes at all. As I mentioned earlier, I can say reading his social media responses that his older brother is actively recruiting against us (he seemed supportive of Duke but legit commented on his IU Insta post something like, “trash jersey”). That said, I checked the dads Twitter page since he responds to fans and I guess he suggested that he stopped asking Dylan about the recruiting process a while back. Also he responded to multiple fan bases saying “his decision” so I think his parents are more understanding. Rutgers sounds like the team to beat IMO but a final 5 of just one NJ/East coast school leads me to believe he may prefer writing his own story instead of being known as Ron Harper Jr.‘s brother. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed they are doing the same thing with Liam and pushing to get him back on campus again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he is going to continue to get the benefit of the doubt without the same big results. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid doesn’t deserve to be compared to his brother, but I have a hard time looking past that. I won’t be disappointed if we score on other guys and miss out on him. 🤷🏻♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm glad my siblings weren't held accountable for what I did and said. Junior's actions weren't my style, but he backed it up on the court in crunch time. And he knows how to hit shots in Assembly. Might be able to transfer some of that Assembly swagger to little bro! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
