Any relation to Duane Gunn, from IU football back in the day?
2022 Recruiting Thread

yes, but can he make? I watched a video and honestly, while he makes 3s, he didn't look like a knockdown type shooter to me. What are his 3pt and FT percentages?
Looked long and athletic, but very thin. Maybe reminds me of the player I would guess Greg Graham was in high school, or in that mold?
A few months ago there was a lot of chatter about the Indy area PG prospects and I haven't heard much. That's really what I was hoping to hear: compare and contrast and rank those guys based on how their season is going.
He recently held one of the Indy pgs that your talking about, Leland Walker to 14, if memory serves me correctly, while having one of his best games of his career, 28.
He's a borderline top 100 kid that checks all the boxes for us.
My personal opinion, but think Tayshawn Comer is emerging as the best PG in central Indiana in the 2022 class. Not a great shooter, but gets downhill and is aggressive in attacking the rim. Very good handles and complete pest on the defensive end of things. His height is questionable, as it is with Smith and Walker, but I think he's the best so far. Smith can play off the ball due to his shooting ability but you're taking a hit on the defensive end.
Is Gunn considered a PG? Assumed a wing based on his size and play that I saw. Do you think Comer is worthy of a scholly offer and does he (or the others) have 1 to your knowledge? I thought the ideal would be to go after a higher rated PG and try and get 1 of these kids as a preferred walk on or banked scholly or something.
No he's a wing. Would compare him to Armaan Franklin but think he's way more fluid coming out of high school. He's not ever going to be a career 40% 3 point shooter, but can fill it up from all three levels. I'd think you'd take one of Comer, Walker, or Smith just in case and seeing how the Lander experiment has gone may need to get one anyway (or another PG in general). Comer is the typical junkyard PG. He's strong and physical. Decent scorer, not a great shooter.
We're in on better point guards. Tre Holloman and Avery Brown are higher up on the wishlist.
Isaac McKneely, who we recruited vigorously for a time, and who appears to be a hell of a prospect, committed to VA.
What do you know about
What do you know about Holloman's recruiting....247 shows us in his top 4, Rivals doesn't list us as offering

I'd take that any day, so tired of recruiting players that I don't think have much on me at 50!
I've added 6'5" Tyrell Ward to the offers list. He's out of DeMatha HS in MD....teammate of Rodney Rice at DeMatha.
He's also interesting due to the difference in ratings on him for 247 & Rivals. He's #114 on 247, #48 on Rivals.
I took a look at the 247 board on '22 recruits and saw the following....have no personal knowledge of just where we sit with any, but it does look encouraging--
--C Shawn Phillips...IU listed as "warm" along with NC State & OSU....would LOVE to get him
--PG Tre Holloman...IU listed as "warm" along with MSU, MN, NEB
--F AJ Casey..........." " " " " " Gonzaga, Illinois, UL, Michigan
--F Jalen Washington " " " " " " UL, MSU, Purdue
--PG Avery Brown " " " " " " Missouri
--CG Rodney Rice " " " " " " Bama, UL (Note.. there is also an MJ Rice in the top 100...higher rated.....we have also offered Tyrell Ward, a 6'5" wing, also at Dematha HS)
--F Justin Taylor " " " " " " SYR, VIR, VT
--F Alex Karaban " " " " " " Purdue
--F Evan Mahaffey " " " " " " X, Cincy, WV (From LD's school....the others have offered...IU has not)
--PG Leland Walker " " " " " " PROV, X (IU has not offered....the others have)
Would love to hear from anyone that has PK of these recruitments.
There is now a CB pick on 247 for IU on Alex Karaban. He's the 6'7"/6'8" 200 lbs shooting forward out of N.H.
He's rated in the #120-130 range on both Rivals & 247.
CAM seems to have a Matt Cross-like affection for his game. IU was the 2nd school to offer and has stayed with it to this point.
Other offers include Purdue, BC, Creighton, GT, Marq, PSU, Providence, Stanford, VT, X. 247 shows IU & Purdue as "warm".
On his highlights he looks like a thin lanky kid with some athleticism. He's known as an outside shooter, but also has some inside game. He's very intelligent.

In addition to Karaban, IU has a 247 CB pick from Avery Brown, a 6'3" or 6'4" PG rated #100 on 247 & #135 on Rivals. Has other offers from Missouri (also listed as 'warm'), KSU, Neb, PSU, St. John's, V. Tech.. Said to be a true PG v. a combo guard. I'm not as high on him as on Karaban, but Archie prefers taller guards and he's been on him a long time.
I think we might get Phillips. A class of Phillips, Karaban, Gunn & Brown would work for '22.
It was crystal ball day for 247. That's why so many picks were going in.
And I'm not so sure about Phillips. We're in it, and may get him, but I'm fairly certain there are other teams in front of us.

That's not good......is there a big goy you can ID who we may be in a position to get? Or just going the transfer route?
You're talking about a class that is 2 years away from being on campus. Most kids in the 22 class are still going about there business and seeing where things are this summer in terms of being able to visit schools.
If you're talking about for this upcoming season, we have Duncomb on board and we'll see what Brunk decides to do. I think we'll hit up the transfer market but Indiana has a holier than thou thought of itself when it comes to transfers in sports so we can't just get anybody. There will be some good players that enter the portal, but if Brunk goes come back, we're in more of a need for a 6'8 kid that can space the floor a little bit. We would have Race, Logan, Jerome and Joey all back, so a kid in that 6'8 range that can come in and defend the post but spread the floor a little on offense would be a welcomed addition and also allow Jerome to play some at the 3 and really open things up.
I'm bumping this to clean it up & update the Woodson offers.
We've offered Seth Trimble, a 6'3" PG originally out of Wisconsin, now at La Lumiere. He's presently rated #103 on 247 & #109 on Rivals for '22, but he's getting a lot of offers right now.
