And since IU is over-committed on scholarships, maybe his bro would transfer to ISU??!?!?

Saw him a couple times this weekend. Very heady and fiesty player. Decent shooter that will get better and when he goes to the basket, he tries to dunk everything.

This was my quick eval watching him in passing when I was out watching Rhett Smith as an Indy AAU tournament back in 2011. Funny how things work out.
 
I know very little about him but the times I have seen him play he looks very competitive. He plays with some fire. Seeing Mahurins leave to play with his brother makes me wonder if Austin Etherington would considering doing the same. Austin didn't seem as fired up on the bench like he did last year. He'd also have 3 years of eligibility left since he is a medical redshirt this year. Getting McIntosh, Scott, and Etherington shows the Sycamore's future is looking strong!

Good job Trees! Kudos to the coaches and McIntosh; I understand McIntosh had good things to say about ISU and encouraged Alex to come to Indiana State. Others may have helped too, but it seems I remember seeing McIntosh on social media promoting the Sycamores. Welcome to the Sycampres Alex! We are glad you are here.

Since Austin Etherington was a medical redshirt this past season, would he have to sit out this season if he transferred?

Not saying he is, but the scholarship situation in gloomington could get tricky with guys return back to school.

It happens daily, just usually isn't talked about or used as a reason.

I am not saying to avoid going after recruits because we are afraid we won't land them, I am simply saying that in this case, this case only, I think this young man is looking at bigger programs than ours. I could be wrong, and frequently am, but saying you didn't like KSU and how far from home it is, then turning around to take an official visit to New Mexico as well as saying prep school is a big option, says that he wants a bigger program than a Missouri Valley school.

Man, am I good or am I good? I mean seriously, I have to be the smartest man on this message board. It's just scary how knowledgeable I am. Wow!!!

Glad to have you Alex! Thanks for showing how inept I am at all of this!

I will go sit in a corner by myself now.:embarassed:

Well, at least you won't be lonely. I'll be there with you. I stated earlier that we had no chance with this kid. Misery loves company...:angel:
 
Welcome to the family! Great pickup by the staff. Especially considering it only seems bad things have been happening to the program the last few months. Nice to finally see a positive headline again! I saw in the indystar mini article it looks like he chose us because of location and a chance to make an immediate impact. If he really wants to log some major PT next year all he has to do is be a consistent outside threat because we all know how our guards/wings lack that particular skill. From the highlight tapes it looks like he has solid form on his jumper and has the size/athletic ability you want in a wing player. Looking forward to the North/South all star game in April to see him in person!
