He is taking officials to everyone but us.
Hence the outside looking in.He is taking officials to everyone but us.
I know on an unofficial visit we can only give limited tickets to an event (football or basketball) and can't pay for anything. Also believe their interactions are limited as well.is there a difference in what a school can show or offer a potential recruit on an official vs unofficial visit?
or is the only difference that he must pay logistically to get to the university and his stay on an unofficial visit.
if my last assumption is true, perhaps we are unofficial because we are the cheapest school to travel to (e.g. best use of resources for his family). so, perhaps not all bad that we are the unofficial.
with the core of players we have, a game changer like TJD can put us on a national stage in the biggest way. the difficulty is that WE know this, but can you convince a kid that he could be THAT influential to a program and to his own future (skill development and WINNER label) by coming here? that's the challenge.
Unofficial visit are not covered by the school meaning expenses official visits are 100% covered by university. Official visit are vastly different than taking unofficial visit more personal when you get an official visitis there a difference in what a school can show or offer a potential recruit on an official vs unofficial visit?

The reason this didn’t happen was him spending every available minute in Bloomington and every coach knowing it.2. If Duke or UNC had put on a big push for him in the Summer.
Yeah. He kinda showed his cards with those visits and scared a lot of big suitors away. Also its a lot if little things. I guess he's a big Fortnite player and his regular on-line playing partner is Romeo Langford.The reason this didn’t happen was him spending every available minute in Bloomington and every coach knowing it.
Every coach knows that he is already going to IU. Hopefully Painter doesn’t bother writing down that “visit” in his calendar.
I like you assumption but IU would be the cheaper of the 2 since he lives on the South Side of Indy.

MSU and UCLA are the only potential spoilers here and I don't think either is well positioned to pull this off. The only 2 scenarios I heard of where TJD would go somewhere other than Bloomington were:
1. If IU had signed another stud Big before him (Hurt, Watford, Stewart, etc...)
2. If Duke or UNC had put on a big push for him in the Summer.
Neither of those two scenarios have seemed to play out.
I think his stepdad has a lot of influence in this process and that’s why he hasn’t committed yet.I just don't get why he is waiting to commit if he really is an IU lock. Seems like a case where Izzo's charm will swipe him up if Miller can't close the deal on his IU official.
The top tier programs never started fully recruiting him, because he basically lived on IU's campus last year. They thought it was a foregone conclusion where he was going to go.Here's a question - when was the last time a 5 star player had such an unimpressive list of final schools? No Kansas, Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, Michigan, Villanova, and etc.
UCLA? This isn't 1970. IU? This isn't 1980. Iowa? Wake Forest? Either the ratings services are way off or the top coaches have whiffed on this kid.

Those schools you mention absolutely can afford to spend resources on recruiting whomever they want. They get money pumped in to their programs and can send assistants where other schools need to send the head coach because they are 'blue bloods'.I just don't think Duke, UNC, UK, etc can afford to spend the resources on a kid like that when they are recruiting four or five other kids of the same caliber.

If TJD is good as good as we are being led to believe then why wouldn't coach K devote time? Your last line that I didn't quote sort of proves hunk's point.
They can afford to but doesn’t mean they are stupid. They only get so many visits and time to devote so they prioritized and moved on.Those schools you mention absolutely can afford to spend resources on recruiting whomever they want.

When have those schools ever let competition for a player scare them away???Because Coach K is actively recruiting Matthew Hurt, Isiah Stewart, and Vernon Carey who are all better than TJD and all play the same position. And that's just for one position. He still has to recruit a bunch of other guards and wings. Coach K isn't going to waste a bunch of time on a kid who has made it clear he really wants to go to IU.
Now if two of those guys quickly commit elsewhere and TJD is still uncommitted then I think you see Duke get involved with TJD as he is the next best bet. But Duke seems to be in great position with both Vernon Carey and Isiah Stewart, he doesn't need to be going all in on TJD. And at the same time why would TJD want to go to Duke and play behind someone like Carey Jr or Stewart? It's a two way street.

It's funny - regardless of who plays for iu...Purdue still owns iu. Always have...always will.
Ha Ha ok......well not in my lifetime and I am 49 this year......That about to change starting this year.

That isn't even remotely what I said. I get you're an iu fan so you're reading comprehension skills aren't all that good, but it should of been clear enough even for you.Yes...TJD secretly isn't good at basketball...Rinse/repeat when recruits look like they're not Purdue bound
Same thing we heard when crean was there and last year and so on.That about to change starting this year.
TJD is a smart kid to keep Purdue in the mix...…Yes...TJD secretly isn't good at basketball...Rinse/repeat when recruits look like they're not Purdue bound
This actually isn't true.TJD is a smart kid to keep Purdue in the mix...…
Purdue has put more Big Men in the pros the last 10 years than IU so he knows we can develop him.

I hate getting into silly things, but I think the "reference to the schools" is with context to "development" and I think all of three of IU's were NBA bound no matter where they went. The same can't be said for PUrdue's I don't believe.This actually isn't true.
Purdue:
Johnson
Hammons
Swanigan
IU:
Zeller
Vonleh
Bryant
Side note(depending on your definition of "big" then OG and Vince)
I dont think you want to compare average draft position either...
Typo is much different than completely missing something because of failed reading comprehension skills. Try again loosier.The jokes write themselves...
That's not what the post said. It said Purdue has put more bigs in the NBA the last 10 years. That's not accurate.I hate getting into silly things, but I think the "reference to the schools" is with context to "development" and I think all of three of IU's were NBA bound no matter where they went.
