I'd love to have him, been saying that for almost 2 years. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 We need a kid who can’t live with a loss to Purdue. We don’t have that right now, top down. Braden will bring that IMO. We are getting into no-brainer territory on this one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays with an edge that this team doesn't have. He is in your face eon the defensive end and makes it hard on the other team. He is a good shooter and has a lot of confidence in himself which is also needed with this team. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Been saying it for 2 years offer this kid or you will live to regret it, or I guess the next coach will wish CAM had offered BS. He has a lot of what the current IU team is missing. Too much to ever list to be honest 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much to ever list to be honest I think Archie is waiting just like he did with Leal...But I believe the kid will eventually get an offer from IU... @IU Scott's appraisal aside, how is he at going to the rim? I think we have a couple of kids (Phinisee and Lander) who both have the physical tools to do it, but for some reason only go on occasion, while I watch the Mike Smith's and Andre Curbelo's of the world make a habit of it with success...Both putting it up and passing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will also but the thing I would hope is that getting a young man that works as hard as he does helps with that culture that you want and it gives the appearance that you are just waiting for a better athlete. I know its a fine line but he has IT and we need IT and a lot of it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only watched one game in person last year and he took it to the rim and finished in that game. He also kept his dribble and "Nash-like" found teammates on the perimeter when the shot at the rim wasn't there. Jumped well enough when attacking the rim that I said I believed he could dunk (and subsequent posts said he can). Seemed to have long arms and extended them on defense, which could help make up for a lack of athleticism on D as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) SIAP but found this article on the kid from August... "NICK BAUMGART: IU had you down to visit Bloomington back in February. What’s the latest on that front? Still hearing from the Hoosiers? Who else? Purdue, Butler? BRADEN SMITH: The most interest right now is from IU, Purdue, Santa Clara, Evansville, Davidson, Montana, Florida Atlantic, Western Michigan, Furman, IUPUI, and Ball State." And this from TDH "Braden is on Indiana’s list. He was invited down to Bloomington for IU’s win over Penn State on Feb. 23. (Edit: the visit was the Feb 2020 game with PSU) If anyone can relate to the size concerns that Smith has faced to this point it is IU head coach Archie Miller. Playing at around 5-foot-9, Miller wasn’t a highly rated recruit but carved-out a solid college career at North Carolina State. Miller’s message to Braden in the IU locker room after the game was memorable. ‘I don’t give a &%# how big you are. If you can play I’m gonna get you.’ “Those were his exact words,” Braden’s father Dustin Smith recalled."

I know he rubbed some people the wrong way but I did like RMKFAN1 though. But then again, I liked GoColts and he rubbed many the wrong way. I value diversity in opinion even if I don’t agree. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
