  • Arizona trying to get involved with Selby.
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

I ran across this article on zagsblog.com and it looks like Arizona is trying to get involved with Selby.

Here is the article:

Meantime, Arizona assistant Book Richardson is in Baltimore this weekend to watch Lake Baltimore (Md.) guard Josh Selby in his season opener.

Selby initially committed to Tennessee and then de-committed. He recently cut his list to Kansas, Kentucky, Indiana and Syracuse but Arizona is trying to get involved.

“Josh has everything you look for in an elite talent,” Jerry Meyer of Rivals.com, who ranks Selby fourth in the country overall and the No. 2 point guard, told the Baltimore Sun. “It’s really a combination of three things: athleticism, high skills and competitiveness. He has all those characteristics. There’s no telling how good he can be. He has a chance to be a one-and-done college player, an All-American type who can be a longtime pro that goes on to play in [ NBA] All-Star games.”

looks like he's going to take a visit to Arizona on Jan 9-10. Hopefully we can get him back for one additional visit before he hands out his final rose.

His first visit to IU was an unofficial visit correct?
“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves."

Well, I'm sure he'll take an official to IU at some point, which is a good thing. The more he's on campus, the better.

IU won't get Selby. Though we'd all like to think we have a legitimate shot. I'm not sure why we'd believe it. It's too big of a risk for him to take a chance on IU... with little, if any, potential reward.
Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.

You are probably right, but as long as we remain on his list we still have a slim shot. I just hope he sees the potential, but you are right it will be a risk.
