No C recruit left in the mix!
Forwards: Sisley has been a priority and was offered prior to his freshman year of high school. Has been a big priority. IU family historically but seems like they are giving serious consideration to schools across the board. At one point I had heard leaning Purdue but IU making a big push. I am wondering if that’s changed since Paint just offered two more well regarded players at the same position?
Khamenia, looked good in FIBA U18 and played well with Jacobsen. Reports sound like he’d fit well in the Purdue system. Maybe having played with Jacobsen could help sway him.
Williams-Adams is highly ranked and from video appears really talented. Plays hard and aggressive, well rounded. Likely a good fit.
Guards: Mullins, we’ve all heard the recent hype, he’s got a ton of offers with some big names. He’s a bucket! Best true scorer in the offer list. Not sure why paint waited to offer. I thought maybe we weren’t pursuing him heavily because the positional need was less but his huge jump made him now a priority for Paint. He scheduled 6 visits, were one of 3 unofficial visits, IU is an official along with Michigan and Tennessee. Ohio State and KY are the other two unofficial ones. All 6 of the visits are closer to home and none to Kansas, UConn NC…yet? Someone in a thread said he was a Michigan lean prior to all of the recent offers and he’s been to IU a lot. We are a longer shot on him but not out of the realm of possibility.
West I know nothing about… paint saw something or else wouldn’t have offered. I trust Paint. Currently he’s my thought for least priority but it is probably because I know the least about him.
1.) Haralson (best overall)
2.) Mullins (highest offensive potential?)
3.) Sisley (great fit)
4.) Khamenia/Williams-Adams (fit, Sisley insurance?)
5.) West
Likely to commit:
Sisley
Mullins (at least scheduled a visit)
Khamenia/Williams-Adams/West (unsure of mutual interest)
Haralson (I believe he’s dropping us from contention)
