Where are we with Brooks
- Thread starter takedownboiler
- Start date
Hopefully someone will have pertinent information so we won't have to go through 7 pages of nothing to find out something
Unfortunately he is a highly recruited sophomore player out of the Fort that already has major offers. The chances are good that there will be hundreds of pages to go through between his sophomore year and when he makes a decision. Rumors will abound and his interests will teter no doubt on the media stardom that flickers in his eyes as he flips back and forth. Purdue has offered and will contribute a lot of resources as others unless Purdue gets eliminated. Next year at this time there should be much fewer pages to go through.
At this point, Purdue has as much of a chance as anyone else. It helps that Purdue seemed to get in early with Brooks and has created a relationship with him...Painter's approach to recruiting is one that I wouldn't change because he appears to do it the correct way. If there is one thing I have never heard about CMP...it is that he told players one thing and another happened when on campus. What you do hear from guys in the program, who have left, or have even chosen another program to go to...is that CMP is a high quality man who is seemingly well liked. I want that kind of man leading the program I follow from the University that I have me degree from.

I think Painter had an in home with Carmody last night and probably why he wasn't at Brook's workout. Could be wrong and the events were different days. I just know I read ND was visiting Carmody in the morning and Purdue was scheduled one for the evening.
No way. Nagem would never sit back and allow that to happen.
Correct, as Fife was aware of/following him from his time at IPFW.
Miller has wasted no time jumping in as well, and I am pretty sure there are some ties with Brooks' Dad and Schilling...Schilling has a ton of ties in Indiana and thus why he was hired away from Alford and UCLA.
Keion has made a point this will be his son's decision and that's why he loves MSU. People are putting too much into the Schilling coaching his dad thing. He has been to MSU more than 20 times. I hope things change but as of now I would bet almost a lock for MSU.
I just find it amazing the number of kids Izzo comes down here to Indiana and pilfers away over the years. It is quite a few....very impressive....he was doing that even before he won anything though....going back to Zach Randolph.
Not hard when you can offer little to no consequences for your actions, being an athlete-student (yes, I put athlete first because that is clearly what they do mostly there), and a little cash on the backside. It doesn't hurt that he has had success over the last twenty years but when you are able to skew those things, it makes all the difference. Biggie flipped because he is probably the most mature high school basketball player I have ever witnessed.
...and even with his maturity...he made an impulsive decision before Rosie had him think about what he was doing.
Ed schilling will have more impact on IN recruiting than anyone realizes
Painter realized it and that is why he brought in a good recruiter in Steve Lutz. He can branch out to more areas hopefully when we do lose some of the the in-state recruits. We should do well with the big men. Creighton's center, Justin Patton, is about to be a top 10 NBA pick.
Guidance.... but he is not going to decide for his son based on his former coach. Schilling might be a factor for other recruits, but MSU/Fife has built such a huge bond. Most teams are trying to catch up. He met with Kentucky assistants during Sectional and he still considers MSU the favorite.
I'm a little concerned about that as well. The name makes me feel old. Ed Sr. Played at Butler in mid 60s and Jr played for Lebanon in early 80s?
The thing about Ed is everyone loves him. He's just a really nice guy and truly has the players best interest in mind. Plus he has mentored NBA players that were high-level.
Just to fill-in the blanks:
Schilling arrives at UCLA after having spent the last four seasons as head coach at Park Tudor High School in Indianapolis. He guided the Panthers to an 87-18 record in four years, securing two IHSAA Class 2A state titles and a runner-up finish.
In 2012-13, Park Tudor won the Marion Court championship and broke the regular-season win record. In 2010-11, Park Tudor made a historic run to win the IHSAA Class 2A state championship after having finished as runner-up in 2009-10.
As head coach at Park Tudor, Schilling's work proved instrumental in the development of Yogi Ferrell, who graduated in 2011 and enrolled at Indiana University. As a freshman at Indiana in 2012-13, Ferrell earned Big Ten All-Freshman Team honors after finishing with 7.6 ppg and 4.1 apg. In addition, Ferrell was named an honorable mention All-Big Ten Team selection by the media.
In addition, Schilling spent time from May through September preparing over 60 athletes each year for professional basketball with St. Vincent's Sports Performance and its NBA readiness program. His pre-draft preparation included working with high-profile young players, including No. 1 NBA Draft selection Greg Oden, Mike Conley, Mario Chalmers, Gordon Heyward, Jeff Teague, Marquis Teague, Carl Landry and many others.
Since 2007, Schilling has served as head coach for Adidas Nations, coaching and training the Adidas High School All-American Team in national and international competition. In addition, he has served as executive director and trainer at Champions Academy, a not-for-profit basketball organization for youth and college-aged athletes in Indianapolis.
Prior to his work with Adidas Nations and Champions Academy, Schilling had served as an assistant coach at Memphis for two seasons (2003-04, 2004-05) after having been the head coach at Wright State for six years (1998-2003). In his two seasons on staff at Memphis, the Tigers compiled a 44-24 record.
In his first season (2003-04) as an assistant coach at Memphis working alongside head coach John Calipari, Schilling helped the Tigers post a 22-8 overall record and a 12-4 mark in Conference USA, winning a share of the league regular-season title, the program's first conference championship since 1995-96. Memphis also made a return trip to the NCAA Tournament and recorded a first-round victory over South Carolina before finishing the season ranked No. 24 in the Associated Press poll.
The following year (2004-05), Memphis went 22-16 overall and posted a 9-7 mark in Conference USA action.
Schilling arrived at Memphis after a six-year run as the head coach at Wright State, helping the Raiders produce a 75-93 overall record. Among the biggest wins in program history occurred Dec. 30, 1999 (during Schilling's third season), when Wright State defeated then-No. 6 Michigan State, 53-49, in front of a near-capacity crowd at WSU's Nutter Center. Many basketball analysts referred to that win as the most significant upset of the decade. Michigan State captured the NCAA Championship later that season.
In his fourth season at Wright State (2000-01), the Raiders opened the season with a 9-1 record, the best Division I start in school history. Wright State closed the season with an 18-11 overall record and an 8-6 mark in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference. The Raiders advanced to the semifinals of the MCC Tournament. That season, Schilling was named 2001 MCC Coach of the Year by CollegeInsider.com.
During the 2001-02 season, Schilling's fifth at Wright State, the Raiders defeated No. 20-ranked Butler in double overtime on the road in Hinkle Fieldhouse, 90-87. Schilling helped Wright State record a 17-11 mark that season. The Raiders went 10-18 in 2002-03, Schilling's final season at the helm.
Schilling was a member of Calipari's coaching staff at the University of Massachusetts (Amherst, Mass.) during the 1995-96 season. That year, the Minutemen advanced to the Final Four and posted a 35-2 overall record.
When Calipari was named the vice president of basketball operations and basketball coach with the New Jersey Nets, Schilling joined him as an assistant coach (1996-97). His rise in the coaching profession was chronicled in Sports Illustrated, as he became the only coach to advance from the high school coaching ranks to the Final Four and then to the bench of an NBA team in a period of 310 days.
Following his season with the New Jersey Nets, Schilling was named Wright State's head coach.
After graduating from Miami University in Ohio in the spring of 1988, Schilling served as a high school head coach for the next seven years - three years (1989-91) at Western Boone High School in Thorntown, Ind., and four years (1992-95) as head coach at Logansport High School in Logansport, Ind.
In his third and final season at Western Boone (1990-91), Schilling led the program to a school record for single-season wins. Playing in arguably the most competitive prep conference in the country, Logansport's basketball program improved each of Schilling's four seasons. In his final two years, his teams won consecutive sectional championships while compiling the most wins at Logansport in more than 20 years.
Schilling was a four-year starting point guard at Miami University in Ohio from 1985-88. He was a two-time captain and, playing alongside Ron Harper, Schilling helped lead the school to a pair of NCAA Tournament berths. He was a three-time academic all-conference selection and is still the single-game assist record holder in the Mid-American Conference. He also established single-game, season and career assist records at Miami University.
Schilling, 47, has also co-authored two books - Guard Play, co-authored by Steve Alford, and Five Star Basketball, which was written with Howard Garfinkel. A native of Lebanon, Ind., Schilling has two daughters, Christiana and Natalie, and one son, Edmund Cross (Eddie). Schilling and his wife, April, are expecting a baby girl to be named Ava in June 2013.
I'm sure he is a nice guy. I do remember Dakich talking about him leaving his wife and family for another woman associated with the program, I think? Also, I know some are not found of the whole private school thing and the recruiting involved. Anyway, here's to hoping he doesn't do well LOL.
