He visited Duke and Auburn, first time around - without any insider knowledge or other facts, I would guess those two schools are still in play - candidly, I don't see Purdue being in the final mix.....
What's going to really change for him or Painter this time around that will change mutual beneficial interest? Of course, I could be dead wrong and will be more than happy to admit it.
Wolegib - he has three full years of eligibility.
Doesn’t that impact that recruit we were in on that committed to Auburn? Where’s he getting minutes if Flory is there!!?
He should do well under a Pearl and Auburn. He’d do well at Houston too.
SWA. But flory would be the 5 and SWA would be the 4 I believe. But that’d be a really young front court to depend on
Okay cool. Yea, Purdue has had bigger ups than Indiana since the turn of the century. What's your point?
A rumor about Catchings from a Facebook group. Take it with a grain of salt.
A poster said Catchings was supposedly suspended twice this year.
That could explain why he didn’t play several games and the coach said it was an injury.
Some factual evidence from a track team. If a player violates team rules, they are suspended and the coach covers the suspension for the public by saying it’s a minor injury.
So I am led to speculate Catchings injuries this year might not have been physical. It appears the people at BYU don’t like him much either.

Probably is Auburn but one can dream right? Indiana would be in decent shape with Tucker DeVries, Ryan Conwell, Flory and Trent Sisley. At least i would hope so.
Not getting Conwell either. Don’t think Sisley makes a huge impact first year
"some factual evidence from a track team" That made me laugh!
My point is that 3 years isn’t that much over a 25 year period. IU has been pretty average for a while now.
That he develops with the best big man coach in the country. But that doesn’t seem to be on his radar.
He might…depends …if he has another year like at KU …he’s gonna have to play a junior year
Not exactly. NBA will draft a guy just off potential and fit. Derek Lively wasn't good as a freshman at Duke and went in the lottery just off what the Mavs thought he could do.
It actually was factual. A lot of track athletes miss meets due to minor injuries. A lot of those injuries are faked. The positive drug tests and bad grades were not but were never admitted. Ever notice how Purdue athletes miss games for no real reason. Or have lingering injuries but recover real fast? Ever notice a Purdue player missed a football bowl game and the coach refuses to reveal the reason?
Boog ( cubs announcer) did most of his ESPN games this season and he said more than once that the NBA scouts that were in attendance salivate over his athleticism.
Yup. They no longer care if you can get to work on the block. Just catch lobs and rebound.
Lively was a whole lot more dominant than flory was and 4 inches taller on a better team. But sure. He can always go.
Sure he was taller but more dominant? Not really. Averaged 5.2ppg, 5.4rpg. was a blocking machine in his 20mpg at 2.3 blocks a game. Flory averaged 5.9ppg, 5.4rpg and 1.6 blocks in just 16 minutes.
You reaffirmed what I said.
Did you watch lively at Duke? Flory is still super raw and not near lively yet.
I'm not sure we want him. We want a serviceable big that can at least provide us some scoring.
Lets hope the kid likes what he hears tomorrow and wrap this up
Hey never know. DeVries could win his first tourney game with all that money he can spend
Yes I watched Lively. He struggled his freshman year. He found some footing late as a lob threat and rim protector, but he also got to play. Flory didn't.
Hey, Pope had never won one either and made the Sweet Sixteen this year without a single returning player.
10 year anniversary of IU’s last S16 appearance?
I know you’re tryin to convince yourself if IU gets flory, IU is an instant contender, but Flory has a ways to go. It’s a shame he doesn’t come get developed by the best big man coach in the country—Coach Brantley.
There is a reason bigs come here. Every single year Brantley has developed a top B1G/National big.
Sean Miller may have just done a thing….
