Eric Bossi thinks IU leads for Mason Miller.

Adding them to Duncomb would be a home run of a class. Especially as Duncomb will be moving to 4* status and climbing up the rankings when they update them the next time. His dominant performance against Furst in front of the rankings services will have him shooting up the rankings. How many players will IU take in that class? 4? Room for Mohammed or Wesley too?

that would be a great class but there sure still seems to be a lot of concern/unknowns with Kaufman who is the centerpiece. Archie's pretty much killed it with top ranked IN recruits, but Furst committing to PU put extra emphasis on Kaufman for us. I'm old Trey, why don't we just make this easier on both of us and have you commit to the Hoosiers? You're a smart guy, no program will give you the long-term bankability with the fanbase that the Hoosiers will. Look at all the past players that have benefitted from the network of alums with endorsements, area business opportunities, camps, coaching, TV or radio sportscasting and now social media and blogs. A long NBA career might make those moot, but it's still great exposure for the future.

Wouldn't Kaufman and Miller compete with one another for the same position? I'd love to have both (if they'd go for it) with a SG who can actually shoot. Who is the better shooter between AM and Wesley?

Miller looks to be developing like his dad. Played outside in. Some people argue he can’t guard the 3 but from film it looks as though he plays that spot a lot. Kauffman looks like an inside out guy. Can play both spots as I believe Miller can too. Lots of length at all 3 spots if we get them both.

Kaufman and Miller play the same position
Good lord. They are listed as power forwards but their games are different. IMHO they can play together. Miller’s game will evolve to a 3 like his dad. It’s been stated on his scouting report.

“If you watch him he most certainly likes to play on the perimeter, drive and dish.
Overall, Miller's versatile skillset allows him to play multiple positions without losing a competitive advantage. His length and quick footwork will allow him to adjust to the college game easier than a lot of other 6-foot-9 wings. If he were to play in the Big Ten, he may progress more as a big '3' than a '4' as his main position with the physicality of the conference.”

Tend to agree. Can he hold up defensively?
 
I keep thinking about Steve Green, who went Silver Creek High School also. It is a small town, and I am sure that Green is a local hero. I am hoping that Kaufman wants to become the next Sellersburg IU legend!

Interesting, because I'm sure Green was also a very good student and think that IU degree and IU network has worked out nicely for him, even without an NBA career!
