Jerry Meyer, the director of basketball recruiting at 247sports, has intel saying Garland is a near lock to IU. He wouldn’t say Romeo is a lock yet, but all his new intel says Romeo to IU as well.

That would be amazing and obviously, a very, very good recruiting class.

#1 is good? Curious, has IU ever had the #1 class by any rankings, or what our best final result was? I don't know how long these go back.

Yeah, I think in the early RMK days recruit class rankings didn't exist.

The one that jumps to my mind was the Graham x 2, Cheaney, Funderburk class. I'm guessing that's the highest rated group we've had, but don't know if they rated classes back then.

 

[Grateful Redbeard]

I'd bet that based on rankings alone, the Patterson/Miller/Reed class would have to be one of the best.

 

[justjames]

IU may get to #1, but they won't stay at #1 once more players commit to the dukes, KU, etc.... but still, to be #1 at any point is a big deal

 

[McHoop]

And one of the most disappointing.....

[fkfootball]

It won't be #1. Calipari will land 8 ☆☆☆☆☆ guys I bet. Lol.

 

[RealHickoryHoosier]

Look for Romeo and Darius to play together in Bloomington! Info is very positive on both this morning.

Clark Francis did, and that one was tops, if I recall correctly.

Yes, we have two Helms #1 recruiting class banners hanging in Assembly Hall. One from 2012 when Gary Harris almost joined #THEMOVEMENT and one from 2004 when Josh Smith didn't go to IU but would always be a part of the family.

First of all, well done. Second of all, I could be losing my mind but wasn't Dwight Howard quoted as seriously considering IU if he hadn't gone straight to the pro's that year too?

Reminds me of many Buckeye basketball fans fawning over King James at the thought of him being a Buckeye.

Yes, that was a rumor because he and Josh Smith were bff's and played on the Atlanta Celtics together. There was also that 7'2" kid from CA (Robert Rothstein???) that went straight to the pros too. That class went from amazing to not that impressive in a hurry.

Did that class include Richard Mandeville and Robbie Eggers?

ha Robert Rothbart. I think that kat is still playing overseas.

 

[VanHoosier]

Didn't Eggers transfer and then come back to Assembly Hall and light us up for like 20?

 

[Hoogolf]

Actually it was after he graduated and he played with Athletes in Action. I think he dropped 25+.

Dang, there is a blast from the past.

Year before - with Sherron & Steve Hart

Yea, that's right... Athletes in Action, wow, forgot about those guys.
