I wonder, in reality, what our chances are with him?

Well as it stands, pretty solid, no?

Until someone else offers, his only option are those offers on the table. I don't know if his Evansville offer is still legit as I think they took some transfers. So he has us, his SIU-E offer and then IUPUI, Incarnate Word and American D1 offers.

Obviously he wants a Purdue offer so if they offer, I'm sure he commits there but as of now, they don't want him. Mizzou has other grad transfers coming in for visits so he's down their list, too. Can't do shit without an offer.

It seems very clear that PU is his 1st choice. If he is considering prep school they take his 2nd maybe 3rd picks. If we are just an escape plan , and I thick we might be wise to use the last offer for someone who really wants to be here.

He wouldn’t be the first player on our roster that wanted to go somewhere else. Just how it is. I’ll take him any day, even if we are his second choice.

Let's hope the official visit goes very well. I hope Barnes and/or Hankins make it over to influence him. I think they all played for the
same AAU team.

Yeah, I think this is our make or break chance with this kid. Hopefully he would enjoy playing college ball with his AAU teammates and realizes he's wanted AND needed here. Fingers crossed.

Is it true that he is pretty young for his class? I heard he doesn't turn 18 until this fall. That might explain why he blooming a little late for this class. Indy has some great basketball. I think he would be a good get.
 
I was holding back until now, but I wanted to say that, at the Top 60, he looked REALLY good. Much more versatile than Arop or Richard. Combo forward.

Sweet! Was obviously the top spring target for us because the staff did everything they could to get him from the time he decommitted. Great job by them to land him! On paper this is a really nice class.

Also FYI...Him along with hankins and barnes will be playing for team indiana in an all star game on the 20th @arsenal tech hs in indy at noon.
 
Awesome news. Appears to be a really good recruiting class!! Congrats to all involved who sold the program to him.

Can we not do this - one time. Can we not?!

Carl and Manny are two of the best / most versatile players we’ve had in the last 20 or so years. Both could finish at the rim, both had a mid range game, both could shoot the 3. Manny was a better mid to long range player - Carl was better around rim. Both played solid D. In other words - this could be really good and still not be “much more versatile” than either of these guys.

Just please - this one time.
