Jerome Hunter

Wow, Jerome Hunter 247 prediction was off- 75% O$U and 25% Michigan but everything pointing to O$U recently. Ed Schilling charm starting to work.

Impressive iu landed both Jerome Hunter and Anderson....two guys CMP wanted at some point badly. Could not even get a sniff of interest in JH and DA was interested for awhile, but went to iu.

Good for them. Guess this is why you hire Schilling....

And IU will still only have 13 scholarships to use.

Annually...
You are confusing Tom Crean with Indiana University.

Tom Crean is no longer the coach at IU. Archie Miller does NOT use the oversign; in fact with IU graduating five this year, we are still three under for 2018. So, expect two more signings by IU, to bring the total 2018 scholarship roster to 12. Besides, November is letter of intent signing month. To get two of the five openings signed four months out is not a manic 'Crean-like' move.

Also, apologies from me for intimating that the Jerome Hunter signing and the Henry intentions meant that Damezi would likely got to Purdue; I thought that Henry would pull the trigger so fast that Damezi would be the odd man out. Seems that Henry's offer forced Damezi Anderson's hand big-time.
 
What's the deal with this guy Schilling? No idea who he is or what you are referencing.

Schilling is the assistant with Indiana ties that came to Miller's staff from Alford's staff at UCLA. Coached high school in Indiana and then was head coach at Wright State for awhile and maybe some other assistant positions before running Champions Academy (I think is the name) in Indy. Then landed the Park Tudor job and turned them into a state power in basketball.

Anyway, he's a good guy with a ton of ties in the state and I believe Coach Painter tried to hire him a number of years ago.

Don't come here and try to tell me my business. I know who the damn coach is doofus. I was acknowledging Schilling's abilities/connections, not tearing him down.

As well as Calipari's assistant at UMass and at Memphis, as well as when Calipari was coaching the Nets.

Played at Lebanon, Coached at Western Boone and Logansport.

I heard just the opposite....heard he wanted to interview here and was told no......but then again it was on a message board some time ago....so prob. bad info.....
 
is it time for one of m y long winded rambling posts about focusing in and getting commitments from our #1 priorities rather than making contingency plans daily? We need to nail these commitments down. yes they are great talent - going elsewhere. too soon?

These are the kind of recruiting battles Painter needs to win if he wants to have future teams in place (this season's team aside) that can get past the Sweet Sixteen.

Just needs talent....CMP has had alot of 2018 misses....but that doesnt mean he doesn't find guys who can performs well.... as indicated by the two offers the last two days....both guys he also still will have to win recruiting battles to land.
