He is a member of the 2015 Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame Silver Anniversary team, i just went off of that.
I can tell you that Tates Locke recruited the state of Indiana heavily, and his rosters of the early 90's must have had anywhere between 3-6 Indiana All stars each season.

So, Locke got half of the all-stars???? We were lucky to get one a year.

Locke was here 5 years and had 7 all-stars.

By years, counting the same players multiple years, he had
2,3,4,2,2.

These are the Indiana All-Star(s) during Locke's tenure...

Two transferred in and two transferred out; he inherited Eddie B. Bird and only had Jimmy Cruse for one season; plus Steve Hart shouldn't be on the list as he transferred to ISU after Locke had been fired


1993 - Jim Cruse - TH North -- ISU Career 1994-97, 4-yr letterman
1992 - Steve Hart - TH South -- ISU Career 1997-98, 2-yr letterman, transferred in from gloomington
1991 - LaSalle Thompson* - Indpls Pike -- ISU Career 1992-93, 2-yr letterman, transferred to ISU_Muncee;
1990 - Juda Parks - E. Chicago Central -- ISU Career 1991-92, 2-yr letterman, transferred to Western N. Mexico…
1990 - Marcus Johnson - Indpls Pike -- ISU Career 1992-94, 3-yr letterman, think he was a Prop. 48 kid; maybe just a Redshirt yr
1989 - Kenny Rowan – Northview -- ISU Career 1990-93, 4-yr letterman
1986 - Eddie Bird - Springs Valley -- ISU Career 1988-91, 4-yr letterman
1985 - Michael Smith - S.B. LaSalle --- ISU Career 1989-90, transferred in from north crook, lettered 1 yr

Arguably all Indiana All-Stars (~top 12-14 Seniors) will be on the Silver Anniversary Team (1st selected in 1962...)

Not all Silver Anniversary Tm members are/were Indiana All-Stars...

There have been Ind Basketball HoF inductees who were neither All-Stars or on a Silver Anniversary team BUT both selections will go a long, LONG way to becoming inducted into the Ind BBall HoF... right/wrong; the HoF places more emphasis on an inductee's HS career than their college and/or pro or coaching career...
 
Hopefully we're pushing hard for this kid. Sounds like he's going to decide between us, Purdue and Mizzou.

Yes. And I checked into whether he was on the roster for the Indiana/Kentucky all star game and he was not. There were 18 silver anniversary members for that class, 12 were on the Indiana/Kentucky all star roster. Now I'm wondering how you could get on the silver anniversary team without being an all star?
 
Did you see what offers he has?

Verbal Commits only has him with us as offered of those three.

You would think if Purdue wanted him that much, and if it was really going to be that easy for them, Painter would just pick up the phone and offer. Not sure why they would make him wait until the end of the week if they know they want him and he knows he wants to attend.

Yeah, sounds to me like the classic let me check on a few guys here and there and then we'll get back to you. They have seen him and his game enough to know what they think
 
wondering if they're couching their position given edwards' status... some have him as a late 1st rounder at best, shocked if he'd leave for a 2nd round draft slot

Boilers are waiting to see what happens to Sean Miller. They were a finalist for one of top recruits and he didn’t sign for this reason.

According to Golden, he's got official visits to Xavier and Creighton. We have no chance.

My bad. Golden retweeted Kyle Neddenreip from the Indy Star who said LaRavia had those visits. He corrected after I went to bed! My apologies.

Another player is being referred to in that tweet. Not LaRavia. However, LaRavia is coming to State on an official visit on April 12-13.
