FaceTime, baby!!As I stated before, Kaufman will be committing to IU. The original plan was for a commitment after Silver Creek's season, but the current virus pandemic has affected the timeline. The family was planning a sit-down with the IU coaching staff, but social distancing has prevented that from happening.
While that's a worthwhile solution, the sit-down meeting would extend to meetings with academic support staff, strength and conditioning staff, etc. There are more people involved than simply Archie Miller, Bruiser Flint, Tom Ostrom and Mike Roberts. FaceTime doesn't lend itself to the type of final meeting prior to sealing a major life decision.FaceTime, baby!!

Link? I’m not real concerned with a Michigan homer trying to get Twitter ratings.Nick Baumgart just said on Twitter that he's hearing "You can forget about Kaufman to IU". Hasn't said why, but can't imagine it has anything to do with Duncomb as he appears to be a true 5 vs. Trey's 3-4.
Duncomb committed to IU, lessens the loss of Furst who has little perimeter game.I know - just being helpful.
Covid-19 is probably going to give an advantage to programs that already have a solid relationship with players. Not as much opportunity for a Duke to come in last minute and try to sway a kid. Gotta like our chances with Trey, Mohammed and Duncomb.
Not sure if this will link right or not,Link? I’m not real concerned with a Michigan homer trying to get Twitter ratings.
I'll state this again:Not sure if this will link right or not,
Nick does a good job and seems to be plugged into S. Indiana HS basketball, so I wouldn't totally dismiss him.
Duncomb had the ability to commit because IU didn’t get Furst.Duncomb committed to IU, lessens the loss of Furst who has little perimeter game.
Way to spin it. Just give up. Most knew Furst wasn’t coming to IU. Archie didn’t recruit him hard.Duncomb had the ability to commit because IU didn’t get Furst.
The only time Kaufman will be in Bloomington is when Purdue comes to town.
The opposite will be true.The only time Kaufman will be in Bloomington is when Purdue comes to town.
How many titles does Purdue have? ZeroThe opposite will be true.
How many titles does Purdue have? Zero
Why would any basketball recruit want to go to Purdue? Defies logic.
I'll state this again:
It would be a major surprise if Kaufman does not end up at IU. It would take something along the lines of the relationship between Kaufman and the coaching staff souring, IU choosing to take a different player for Kaufman's spot, etc.
In the world of recruiting, there are always the hot rumors of the week, but I'm sticking with what I know and what I've been saying since the first week of March.
I could have the argument about recruits not being alive the last time IU was relevant but what's the point. You are correct sir Purdue is terrible.
My connection is to an individual who works in the upper levels of IU Athletics. That person's stance on Kaufman is unchanged after the Duncomb commitment.Hope you are right, but you seem to be on an island in this belief among "experts" or anyone claiming to be in the know. I forget what you base this on, don't you know a friend or family member? If we get Lander, and with Duncomb that has the makings of a great '22 season. As good as TJD was, I still think there's a good chance he comes back for his junior year, unless he shows a lot of development in a perimeter game that was non-existent this year. Hard for me to imagine that happening in 1 year, but you never know.
Have you watched college basketball the last 5 years? It's been over 1500 days since IU beat Purdue. Maybe that's why.How many titles does Purdue have? Zero

In terms of Jackson-Davis, it's no secret he has NBA aspirations. Will he show enough progress/development to become a surefire first-round selection in the 2021 NBA Draft? It's too early to tell, but I would not be surprised if he declares for the draft while maintaining the option to return to IU.
If Kaufman is committed and Jackson-Davis chooses to return for his junior season, would that be cause for Kaufman to explore other options? Again, that's an unknown. There are a lot of moving pieces, but the belief, for now, is Kaufman committing to IU.

And it's been 40 years since PU has made a final 4.Have you watched college basketball the last 5 years? It's been over 1500 days since IU beat Purdue. Maybe that's why.
If not for a missed free throw PU would have been playing in the final 4 last year playing Auburn. I know most people on this board hates Purdue but they play hard disciplined ball. That’s why someone would want to go there.
14,600-ish days, if you're counting.And it's been 40 years since PU has made a final 4.
I agree - they do choke a lotThe purdue official neckwear should have been officially switched from neckties to canine "choker chains" decades ago...
Everyone who actually follows basketball knows that.
Anyone who commits to p u clearly isn't serious about winning Championships...
You do know that really only matters to PU fans that have nothing other than victories over IU to brag on? Ask a kid what’s more impressive, 5 old banners & the history IU enjoys or 1500 days between losses to a conference rival...
If you wanna sling bs about how PU is superior, do it where people are tainted enough to buy it. PU has had better teams than IU for several years but it would take decades for PU to overcome the gap in prominence outside of the stinkhole PU resides in...
PU fans appreciate your endorsement...Ummm, I can assure you it matters to me. One of my biggest hopes for this team was that they'd end the PU futility, and we should have with their roster this year. Maybe our team and program need this game to "matter" a little more to them?
PU fans appreciate your endorsement...
