HallMonitor576 Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Just now, hoosierfan34 said: Gotcha, good info. But this still makes you think and go back to the original question - which is, how it ok to drive almost 2 hours for a basketball workout when you’ve been “disciplined” due to grades and aren’t allowed to workout with your local team right in your hometown? Just seems odd. I think that is easily explained by it being one afternoon a week or every 2 weeks on the weekend versus practicing on school nights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, let me clarify. It’s less about the location/ease of schedule. It’s more about his Uncle basically saying “no basketball”....period....if he had less than a B. Sounds like you have a pulse on the situation, so I’m only sharing what I heard. May not be accurate at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYHoosier312 Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Any word on Emoni Bates? There's been a number of articles that are comparing him to Lebron. I hope Archie has at least reached out. Seems like a long shot, but if we don't get him I hope Archie is at least going down swinging.

BornHoosier Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 No inside info here but alot of these kids decisions will come after the 2020 and 2021 seasons correct? If CAM has any kind of success with TJD returning, there is no question where the top 21/22 Instate Talent will go right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other thread we discussed kids going to ACC or SEC because of Big 10's style of play. I don't think the kid steps foot on a campus but still this is good for Big 10. If that still means anything.

I would say that there is a good chance he won't ever play college basketball. By then you will probably be able to go to the NBA right out of high school and if he as good as the say he is he will be the #1 draft pick.

Hopefully Adidas since an IU target is attending. Makes me wonder...seriously. What is involved in starting a prep school? That sounds a lot more involved than Romeo's dad starting an AAU team.

Well, whether he does or he doesn't, I'm in the same camp as @Seeking6... I want the B10 to be a destination conference for the top ranked kids. I'm sure if it's perceived that way, IU will get their fair share... Edited June 29, 2020 by IUFLA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The response was it was good for the big ten even if he does not come. If he doesn't come then does that really help the big ten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 I hope the kid goes to MSU and becomes the next of the group of players who lose to a CAM coached Hoosier team. We have had Izzo’s number as often as not and would love to see that continue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
