Player recruitment and the photo shoot.

[Warison]

This seems awkward.

Do other schools do this? Do this, as in, have a player the school is recruiting in a photo shoot with them dressed in the jersey and shorts and making basketball poses. ???

My first memory of this is Darius Garland and Romeo. I figured, yep, Garland's gonna commit, why else would he pose in the jersey.

Now it seems every player that visits, there's a photo montage of the player in the jersey?

This whole process just seems awkward, unless you know you're committing?

Anyone else find this strange. ?

doesn't seem awkward at all, don't know if other schools do it, that's all I got for now

I'm sure the recruits could say no.

Probably trying to help them visualize being in an Indiana uniform.

It’s part of the recruiting landscape now. I have seen similar pictures posted by other schools.

someone would have to ask one of the recruits after they post the photo of them in a uniform. any resident twitter stalkers? lol

Keeping the jersey would be impermissible benefits. Also, lots of other schools do the same thing. It’s all about getting the kid to post the photos on social media and then having the fan base “like” them.

Recruiting seems like a yearly thing now with the portal.

Most, if not all, do the photo shoots with the recruits in the uniforms.

Pretty nice recruiting perk ..imo.
You are talking about getting a photo in front of the circle court of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall..
It's still considered a cathedral of all college arena's.
Even though many want to bi$ch about the sight lines..

Lucy said when she applied at McDonalds they had her try the uniform on and pose with Ronald before she left, must be a common thing

At least Ronald is supposed to be a clown
