Your example is just that one example...jurkin, April, Priller, all had offer list similar. Point in this is that we already have one combo guard committed and we are doing really well with Scruggs. So on the surface this looks like an odd offer at this time in the process
Interesting Offer by IU...

- Start date
There is sometimes in recruiting when there is an offer made with stipulations. I suspect this is the situation with Plavec. He was probably told in this case we are recruiting Sruggs but we are very interested in your devolopment. You noticed he said he was very excited. If he had an absolute offer from IU or UNC he would jump on it. IU sees something that impressed them enough to start to recruit this kid.Just a guess dont know for sure. There is so much going on behind the scene. CTC was probably very certain Troy was gone before he ever announced he was putting his name in the draft thus the reason for McSwain
I love how people have decided that Priller will be "ready to move on"..if I was Priller I'd apply for a sixth year.
Some of you guys act like you know more about what transpires behind the scenes than TC. Comical. And TC sure has left the cupboard bare lately.
Lately does include a 9th and 7th place finish including a missed NIT and a quick exit from the NCAAT
Considering we have zero open rides and about 10 Top 50 guys seriously considering us, why take a chance some zero star will be a good find when we already have a 3 star in that class?
I'm not disagreeing with you, but he's only a 0 star at the moment. He will be top 100 in the next rankings
First of all, no proof of that.
Second, we have a ton of Top 50 guys in a LOADED class who really like us.
According to rivals, UNC has four offers out, three 5 stars and Platek. They wouldn't waste their time getting in early with a stiff.
He will be ranked he just shot lights out at a recent tournament
But not from lack of talent. Part of my frustration with those years was we had talent. I think most fans thought we would have a down year after Cody and Vic left. However we should have at least made an ncaa. Just on talent alone.
Did they? I'm not completely up on this, but I doubt that Jurkin, April, or Priller had offers from the likes of UNC. Probably not even from programs like KSU, Iowa...
All I'm saying is, ignore the stars at the moment. If UNC offered and Wisconsin is interested... I'd be surprised if this kid doesn't go to a high major. And deservedly so.
Not saying he isn't a high major kid but do we take him with a really good chance with Scruggs and with Durham already committed?
I can't speak to his attitude specifically but it seems to me that Southport should have done more the last 2 years than what they were able to. With Joey Brunk and some other decent players on the team, they seemed to have more talent than most/all of the other teams in the state. Whether team chemistry, coaching (although I think their coach is well liked) or something else, it seems like something held them back. That said, I like most here see a very loaded '17 class in the state and am hoping we are able to land at least 1 or 2 of them in our recruiting class.
You mean like when CTC supposedly made a stipulation on Priller's offer that "hey, come to IU, practice with the team for a year, get better and transfer to a better school than Sacred Heart".
I loved that one...Yeah, a kid and his parents are going to accept a one year scholarship just to market himself for a better low to mid major playing opportunity.
What held them back was the best player in the state having arguably the best game in state tournament history. No shame in that, they emerged from one of the best collections of power teams Indianapolis has produced and justified their preseason #1 ranking in doing so. Langford putting up 46 and hitting eight three-pointers, most of them from NBA range, isn't something that any team in the state could have overcome that day.
And either the Hulls or Zellers paying for Patterson to go to school...that's not my favorite one but its up there
Rangelinefan happens all the time that a lower rank recruit ties their name to a big time program. Who knows wether this kid signs with IU but to have an offer from them sure helps if he doesnt sign there they are able to get more interest from other schools. Just happened with a kid at our high school. West Virgina has showed a lot of interest and once that got out vitually every MAC school is showing the same.In the meantime it gives majors a chance to watch players devolop. Its a win win for either side.
According to 247 sports their offers were:
Jurkin - South Carolina, Clemson, IU
Priller - Albany, Illinois Chicago, Incarnate Word, IU
April - IU
None of those are close to being similar to having an offer from UNC.
How many rides do they have open? If it's 3, it makes sense to take a chance on one guy.....which we already have.
Platek is an excellent prospect. If he commits before Scruggs or someone else, that's fine with me. Moreover, if we end up with five openings, we could take both Platek and Scruggs.
Can't speak for Wisconsin but Carolina will likely have 5-7 ships to use in 17. Obviously can't all be 5 stars, and Platek is an elite shooter who will probably end up a 4 star.
Carolina really wants him to go with the big time point guard recruits they are going after in 18' Already have Rayshawn "Leaky "Black in tow.
