If Bozich is correct, I wish Wilkes good luck and I move on.
Reports on Scouts are that he informed IU and Illinois last week that they were eliminated. I think I pull back on recruiting and watch the season play out at UCLA and UoL with Pitino and Alford. If Preston or some other high level recruit wants to come then I'd certainly take take them. Time to move onto 2018.
Exactly. Long wing with handles and shotndoesnt fit at all w what CTC does. Oh, and great kid. You are right, just doesn't fit SMH
Evan Daniels reports that IU and Illinois are both officially eliminated from Wilkes' recruitment. I'm disappointed, he'd have been a great representative for IU and the program. But, best of luck to him and I hope he enjoys LA.
Sounds like from what I read is that for some reason he wants to go to school in a pro town and not a college town. I also heard that UCLA is promising that UCLA will benefit him more after basketball is over.
there will always be lots of reasons listed by these top Indiana kids until IU has a coach they want to play for -- plain and simple. sure, never gonna get them all but we can definitely find a coach who can get more than this. then kids will say stuff like I wanted my parents to see me play or i want to bring the tradition back at IU. Watch. lol
Would be great for him to come back but if he has a great season he will probably go.
I never said he couldn't "play and thrive" in the program: I said maybe he didn't fit in with the way the team works, expectations or the social context of a small town school.
1) Where did you hear this?
2) I thought Crean was a great developer of talent, particularly big men?
the issues were lack of foot speed, especially on defense and lack of overall explosiveness. He's supposedly increased his vertical by 9" this summer, so it's apparent he been a lot of lower body work. I think Bryant is the only lock, as far as leaving early.
Yes, totally agree. We simply can't keep the high profile five star Indy kids home
any more. What a shame!!
TBH, I want the 3 and 4 stars for 3-4 years rather than the Vonlehs. But we need more coaching prowess to do more with them. Troy for 3, Yogi for 4, and Thomas for 2 is ideal. Just need to go deeper in the tourney.

I wondered about TB, since he was not at all interested in turning pro last year, he may not be in any hurry. Some guys just enjoy living the college life style and some pros will recommend that you should enjoy every minute of college. If TB and/or OG come back along with Morgan then next year is looking better.
I still expect JBJ to go as he has been interested in the pros for a while. TB, OG, RJ and Juwan may all test the waters as Troy did last year before committing.

Good possibility of that. My guess is with the injuries, he sees limited time to make money and won't risk losing another year.
Morgan? I like the kid but you really think he is NBA caliber? To me he is a role player this year.
Bryant is projected as a 20th pick right now.

If he falls out of the first round, IU season was probably a disappointment.
