Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

"With his father’s comments about the program and the fact that a visit took place today, did a message left by Watford on his Facebook page late Monday reveal a clue that a decision could be coming soon?

WORLD…STAY TUNED 4 TOMORROW!!!!!!

Unless Watford just loves him some CAPS LOCK, I’m taking this as a sign that the visit went well. Watford has been a top priority for Crean for quite sometime and it wouldn’t come as a surprise if the Hoosiers lock him up."


Hahaha I love it. Thanks for the link. :cheers:

Got my fingers crossed. Like I've said before, sounds good, but you never know.

If he's not from the state of Indiana - IU should pass on him immediately.


Give me a 1/2 star kid from Greenville anyday.

Sounds like pretty much a done deal.

Congrats, I know many of you guys really wanted this kid.

no - not me. I've been told he's from out of state and therefore cannnot possibly be any good.

after all, only 1/4 star white kids from the state of Indiana know how to play basketball. that is why Turdue is a burgeoning powerhouse and will not lose a game for perhaps the next 5-6 years. I wish Crean would offer Porkchop an all-you-can-eat lunch at the nearest Sizzler so he will share his deep recruiting secrets. I mean, landing 5'6 academically challenged gnomes is the path to national titles.

Actually, nobody has ever said that at all. As usual, you took a statement about in-state recruiting from one Purdue poster, twisted his words into something it wasn't, and then make it into an extreme and put it as every other Purdue poster's opinions.

Stop being an idiot. Watford is a solid pickup. I don't think anybody on this board would say otherwise.

Thanks Cam, I know you're being genuine. If we are landing him today, its definitely a huge pickup by Crean. I am digging what he's doing thus far.

This is as good as done and then add the recent offer to another African big man in Alabama....Damn! I don't know what we've got going in Alabama but it's working out. So will it be Manuri or Brandt with Braswell as a long shot to join Watford in completing our 09' super class. You can add Rivers to that...sorta, and then theres a the gravy possible addition of SVT. Fuck! Shame we can't suit'm up this year.

I'm personally impressed. He's done some good things in a short time in a tough situation. Obviously, he isn't all the way up the hill, but he is making good progress so far. I think the back part of this '09 class' freshman season and starting with their sophomore season, they will be a tough beat.

Hopefully Cheek is still in play but I think adding a big might be a better option.

My selfish best options.
1a. Cheek... silky smooth SG/SF
1b. Brandt... a lot of unknowns but he dominated at one of the last AAU events
2. Braswell... any big good enough for Georgetown is good enough for IU
3. random African player... why not?
4. does Ben Allen have any brothers?
