One IU insider I follow a lot is almost hinting that it could be IU but then said his “gut” is Purdue.
He usually is never wrong and in this case.... who knows!
So your buddy feels it’s maybe IU or maybe Purdue? That’s some great insight!

Yep. Painter will "crean" him if he needs the scholarship.That’s just for the 2018-19 season.
Can you crean a former walk-on? Me thinks you don't understand the term Creaning.Yep. Painter will "crean" him if he needs the scholarship.
Actually what he said is that he still "feels" it is PU, but he was getting some texts that made him question that feeling. He is an AAU coach (who btw is a Cathedral grad) and has some pretty good connections among the coaching fraternity.
Snow reporting this am that they are having trouble coming to a consensus decision and it will likely be a few more days. They are scrutinizing everything to make sure they make the best decision for AF.
Also Newman is nowhere near decision making mode (visits IU this weekend) and definitely intends to make his officials to Xavier and OSU. Both AF and BN are aware that AF is going to decide within the next few days, and they really aren't interested in going to the same school. Main reason is that they basically occupy the same spot on the floor...
I know PU tried to convince them otherwise, but the indecision indicates that the PU visit didn't seal the deal. AF has also spent time with IT since the visit, but even that has not resulted in a cut and dried decision for PU. Snow feels it will likely end by Fri, but says it's still possible it could go into next week. IU did a great job on the AF visit, and it's definitely a 2 team race with pros/cons for each program...I'm personally torn, but I know Archie really wants AF...
Kendrick went to Tech.Kendrick huh?
Kendrick huh?
Didnt say it wasn't. He is still picking Purdue right now.Seems like an unbiased source...

Sounds like the decision is on hold for a few days.Didnt say it wasn't. He is still picking Purdue right now.
I would agree that most IU fans hope he commits to Purdue. That's not to say he is a bad player, Newman just appears to be better. Assuming they aren't going to the same school, I'm guessing most Purdue fans hope he commits to IU so they can get Newman.I get the impression most IU fans do not want Franklin, and hope he picks Purdue so they get a clearer path to Newman or another higher rated prospect to fill Romeo's minutes at the 2.
I think either would be a great fit for Purdue. Can't think of a recruitment like this in the past. Should be fun to watch it play out.
Most fans haven't seen either play so we have no idea who to like better.I would agree that most IU fans hope he commits to Purdue.

You haven't looked up either of them? Franklin is more of a combo guard. Better handles and better driving skills.Most fans haven't seen either play so we have no idea who to like better.
Newman appears to be more wide open than Franklin. There is nothing to indicate Newman has eliminated Xavier or OSU so the presumption he will select Purdue or IU isn't a done deal.I would agree that most IU fans hope he commits to Purdue.

Nothing to indicate that other than the reporting of two national analysts (one from rivals and one from 247), and also the reporting of two IU sites. But yea, there is nothing at all to indicate that.Newman appears to be more wide open than Franklin.

Just discussing IU recruits.You spend way too much time on a Purdue board arguing with Purdue fans.
I think Newman would get playing time right away either starting at the 2 or as the backup to the 2. The only guards projected to be on IU's roster next year are Phinisee, Green, and Durham. I think Franklin would take a little more time to develop.Hey Trojan, if Franklin or Newman decided on IU, would either of them even get any playing time ? Seems like there is a lot of players on IU's roster at the position they would be playing.
Don't you have a forum to do that on? Sorry but we don't truly care about IU receuits maybe try your own forun for a change?Just discussing IU recruits.
I discuss on those forums too. You dont care about Franklin and Newman? Interesting.Don't you have a forum to do that on? Sorry but we don't truly care about IU receuits maybe try your own forun for a change?

GBI guys do offer that info on the pay site. If they started posting ALL the recruiting info here why pay the premium fee? Just yesterday there was a "chat" which happens every week where you can ask any question you want answered. There is also a "mailbag" feature to ask specific questions not answered in other venues. There is also "boiling over" each week where recruiting is addressed and finally interviews and other info with each recruit when available.It is amazing that we have heard from numerous posters on here but nothing from the Purdue personnel that get paid for information on these recruits.
NC Trojan simply discusses. The fact the IU site is a closed circle jerk doesn't mean this site needs to act that way.Don't you have a forum to do that on? Sorry but we don't truly care about IU receuits maybe try your own forun for a change?
Long time reader of this forum / fan (2002 grad). I don't usually have a reason to post but this is the tipping point for me.. Can't help but think after seeing the crystal ball flip that freaking little arch has struck again. Makes ZERO sense - IU didn't even offer until mid summer and we are going to lose this??? Oh well I guess I will assume that Franklin wanted $omething el$e and CMP pulled out on this one... am I the only one fed up with this????
Unless I'm wrong, which is possible, he is planning on taking all his official visits.Nothing to indicate that other than the reporting of two national analysts (one from rivals and one from 247), and also the reporting of two IU sites. But yea, there is nothing at all to indicate that.
Lol if I was going to create a new account, I probably would have done it 4 months ago. And yes, the post you responded too is definitely a troll post.@BoilerIron did you forget to post this on your other account?? I’ll assume this is trolling but it is fishy that Purdue seemingly had the lead with guys like Phinisee Damezi and now Franklin and after a visit to Bloomington they flipped
You are correct. It is my opinion that just because a recruit takes a visit to a school doesn't mean the school is actually legit in it. For example, TJD is heading to Iowa right now.Unless I'm wrong, which is possible, he is planning on taking all his official visits.
I would be very surprised if he goes anywhere but IU.You are correct. It is my opinion that just because a recruit takes a visit to a school doesn't mean the school is actually legit in it. For example, TJD is heading to Iowa right now.
That is my feeling as well in regards to Newman for Purdue if Franklin were to commit to IU.I would be very surprised if he goes anywhere but IU.

To bad he wasn't sitting courtside when the Boilers went down to Bloomington and manhandled the HoosiersThat was a very good night for IU; the team was terrible early and Archie was composed, truthful, and compelling on the way to a strong win.
Correct that we offered only a few months ago.
But Armaan Franklin was sitting courtside next to Romeo Langford and Rob Phinisee last year for the IU Northwestern game.

A blowout between two non tournament teams in January sold Franklin on IU?? Dont think I buy it...
