Paul Scruggs Xavier vs Florida
- Thread starter edub72
- Start date
He would be at IU if IU would have had any other coach at the time
Scruggs and Blueitt probably would play for someone like Archie. Indiana HS coaches have 0 respect for Crean.
Yes, Crean recruited him. We were one of the finalist. Crean whiffed on that entire instate class.
Wilkes - UCLA - left to go pro early after last season but not on NBA roster as of a week ago.
Scruggs - Xavier
Jackson - MSU now without Grizzlies
Williams - UofL
Nunge- Iowa. He is starting as a stretch 4. Not saying he was a no doubt target like the initial 4 on this list but a very solid player.
Jallow - OSU. I didn’t have a problem with us passing on him but still a very good player and hope he does well as long as he doesn’t beat IU.
Yep, we recruited him. He was one of the "big four" kids from Indiana that year. Whiffing on all four was one of the last nails in Crean's coffin.
Scruggs was at Southport, and I'm sure played with Brunk, but didn't he end up transferring to a prep school somewhere? Seems like I recall hearing that SHS got to a regional, but that should have been a pretty stout team, and I think they were pretty highly ranked at least 1 season. I was thinking they also had a shooter that was generating some college interest, but I think he also ended up leaving SHS.
Southport was ranked very high during the 2015-16 season when Brunk was a senior and Scruggs was a junior. They lost to New Albany and Romeo in the tournament that season. It was one of Romeo’s better performances in high school.
Scruggs went to a prep school the following year for his senior campaign.
Falky's got it right. Romeo tore them up. Although Romeo wasn't an unknown at that point, that game elevated his profile significantly.
Romeo had 46 points against #1 Southport with Paul Scruggs and Joey Brunk as a Sophomore in HS and Romeo was named the #1 Sophomore player in the nation by one ranking source. Top 25 rated Scruggs was helpless against Romeo that night.
