2023 Recruiting

In the words of Dravyn Gibbs-Lawhorn

ON INDIANA AND PURDUE


"They both offered before Covid. I still hear a lot from Purdue a lot. Indian, not as much. They had the coaching change so it’s a bit confusing with them, but I still hear from [recruiting coordinator Brian] Walsh from time to time. I hear a lot from Purdue. I took another visit there this summer and I feel like I am one of their top targets."

ON PURDUE

“We just talk about the basics about why they want me and how they want me to fit in and play if I go there. We talk a lot about basketball. It’s not like we talk about recruiting a ton because I already know they want me. It’s more just talk about basketball.”

Be nice to get him teamed up with Myles Colvin!

Gotta love the comment about how his IU recruitment has been confusing lol.
 
As of today how many spots do we have available for the 2023 class?

We have three seniors on the roster that will leave after this season with 3 verbals for the class of 2022 (Smith, Loyer, and Heide). Ivey is likely gone but that would free up a spot for Berg if we get him making 4 commits for the 2022 class. We have one junior in IT and 1 verbal commit for the 2023 class (Colvin). I'd like to pick up a couple more recruits in that class (especially Dra) so maybe Edey leaves after his junior season and we likely will have some attrition to the team.

IU seems to be prioritizing Jeremy Fears over Gibbs lawhorn.

Your assessment looks good. 1 scholarship with potential of 1 or 2 depending on others leaving.

Purdue currently only has 12 scholarship players I believe , so if the 3 seniors leave after this year that gives them 4 open scholarships for next year. If Berg commits, Purdue is back to 1 open scholarship for 2023, but Ivey and Edey are most likely gone as well. I would guess Purdue will have at least 3 spots for 2023.

Also need to take into account transfers out/in. While I don't expect any particular individuals to transfer out, over the next 2 seasons almost certainly someone will.
 
Has anybody seen Joey Hart? Is he a B10 type of prospect?
I don’t think he has B1G offers yet. I saw where Johnny Dawkins and Central Florida have been making a push. We had interest over the summer. I am sure we are tracking but we have limited openings currently. He attended IU’s Hoosier Hysterical outing recently. Could be he gets more offers next summer like Conner Essegian did recently as rosters fill out and openings pop up.

Colvin is going to move way, way up that list.
 
I’m surprised we didn’t hear much after the Wisconsin game. Wasn’t it a big weekend for recruiting?

i think I saw where Koch visited, but that was it
