Very few of those teams play good competition

I understand your point but unless the competition is top notch, being the leading scorer is kind of meaningless....about half the list doesn't count...

Re: Very few of those teams play good competition

Guys would be pissed w all those wings and guards!!

 

[Brockway]

That is correct...

While I do agree that IU should recruit the state very hard, you're not going to get them all because almost all of them are guards and wings and they all want PT.

Doesn't matter. They are still their teams' leading scorers and they are

from Indiana. Why diminish the accomplishments?

Re: Doesn't matter. They are still their teams' leading scorers and they are

I didn't............I stated a fact..............they are great for what they've accomplished.

If they were all on top 25 teams, then you could gripe about losing Hoosiers out of state.....

More important for me is that Indiana is not listed as the 'best" basketball state any longer......I believe the fact that 23 kids are leading scorers on their team, and "their" team my very well be a long way from Indiana, speaks volumes for the level of skill coming out of the state of Indiana.
