*Official* B1G In-Season Thread
- Thread starter boilerzz
- Start date
And Trayce signed the paperwork before and just kept it quiet
I really want to go troll the shit out of some of the guys on Peegs who have been overly pessimistic and negative about recruiting. Hell, there was a guy on the ITLR thread that said it was essentially all bad news. Lol. But, I'm refraining.
I agree in general we need more guards, but Phinese and Durham have been pretty solid so far. I'm happy with both of them and Franklin in the fold for next year. If I were the staff, I'd focus on some top end guards and swing for the fences knowing we're playing with house money.
No, you're way off here, SNU. The commitment is less valuable to the program if the player doesn't announce it the way fans want.
Tough day for the Hoosiers, if you ask me.
Seriously! I hope he heard how ridiculous some fans were being and trolled us by not announcing during the early signing period.
I would respect the hell out of that. I'm sure it was much less benign reasoning that led to the delay. But I'm always team #PettyWarz

They're all old fvckers too, i feel for their kids.
I love how it always gets turned into some kind of politics or millennials bullshit. Southern Indiana 40-55 guy is the worst right now.
Before the signing date ended because Indiana has already announced him
Live look at Izzo leaving the state of Indiana knowing he no longer has his "little buddy" to take recruits from anymore.
Indiana social media game is, as the kids say, on the tip.
Who? Were MSU and IU ever really in that many battles?
Usually MSU is just pick-pocketing Purdue
Gary Harris and JJJ are two major recent ones.
I think it is also fair to say if Archie had been coach during the time of Dawson, IU would have been in the thick of that recruitment as well.
This was a real post made on our premium board about 5 hours before TJD announced his commitment. Just cracks me up.
"I’ll ring the sour bell to wake all you young liberal arts students up- the data to this minute doesn’t support CAM and staff are returning IU to anything. In the past few weeks since Marquette we have sucked. Trayce Jackson Davis envisions himself as a NBA player. Justin Smith is far less than he was last year. Just open your eyes folks- pray things improve now that we have numbers of healthy players back. There is a hypothesis that supports things will. But if TJD makes a call quickly as rumored, why would he come to IU?"

I didn't realize IU was even that heavily involved with JJJ. Thought it was Purdue, Maryland, and Georgetown.
He is struggling. Just very soft at the rim and the shot hasn't been great. I hope he will eventually come to and play with himself like last year.
I remember wanting him as a recruit, knowing how athletic he was (similar to Iverson) but couldn't shoot worth a lick. 4 years later with Iverson, and still in same boat. Definitely need an athlete or two but give me guys that can shoot. Tough with multiple non-shooters out there to get anything done.
Trying to remember where I read it but yesterday a national analyst predicted Stewart to Washington and Carey to Duke. Might have been on the recruiting board.
Great, that kids pretty out of the loop. Congrats on both MSU.
Dude, quit being so coy. I mean, c'mon.
Also, I never called your takes homer. If I did---I certainly don't remember.
You're acting like I was saying Michigan would be better than Duke and Kansas this year. That's not even close to the case. I was aware there were question marks but was confident Michigan was a top 15-20 team.
I hope you all get one of them. The BIG needs to have multiple teams consistently pull in top talent. I think currently, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, IU and Maryland are all capable of landing a top 5 talent. Maryland would probably be the biggest question mark right now because of uncertainty over how long Turgeon will be there. But, he's proven he can at least land top talent.
This is the most teams I can remember since the recruitment process started to be so heavily reported on.
This is going to be a homer comment, but I really think its true....I really believe that in order to be consistently considered a top conference who competes for national championships, the BIG needs for Indiana to start acting like blueblood again. Imo its amazing that the BIG hasn't suffered more from how Inept IUs been. If the Big 12 or SEC had its blueblood shit the bed fir over 20 years...both conferences would have been considered an afterthought most years. The only other conference that could handle this would have been the ACC.
I don't think most BIG fans realize how grateful they should be that Michigan State was able to step up the past 20 years.
Huge. TJD is a bug we have been missing. Exciting to think of he, Hunter, Phinisee for the future. Add Brooks, and yippie...
