Fland down to 3

Why so much hype about this kid, he's ranked 33rd on Rivals, and he's a 4 star? What am i missing?
 
see some zoom.
Yes. Its a staple with Woody, and was very effective with Xj,and then JHS. People confuse it sometimes with "dribble drive:". Sort of the same, but zoom is designed to take away help defense. Mgbako fits this well. Also think Ware could be lethal in this action.

Outside of XJ, Galloway and Reneau, IU will have a ton of questions

Fland? Ummmm, no. #1 PG in his class. 5^---Top 10 kid.
My mistake, i was looking at 247 sports. Its the one i mostly use, they have him as 33rd and a 4 star. Link below..

 
Nice to have an exciting drama filled end to a recruitment against a former rival and I don't even care that much. Would like to have the kid, but not worried about it either way.

Me neither---After all, hes just #1 PG in his class.
 
I live less than 5 minutes from Louisville----I love So. Indiana. Beautiful in the fall. BUT.....South-Central KY, Tenn----just amazing. Go to Florida every year to help train umpires----Just a beautiful drive. And the Tenn welcome center might be the most beautiful rest area/welcome area I;ve ever seen.

As for Louisville----Wouldnt live there for free.
Louisville is a great city. Why would you say that? Curious.

Probably because I live right across the rvier, and hear about the 5-6 shootings, per day, everyday.

Louisville is a nice city, that offers some great amenities, i.e. great food, entertainemt, etc..But , and I know, all cities have crime----but my goodness. For such a "small city", they have the crime of Chicago.

Eh. Lot of top point guard prospects that don't live up to the ranking. Not saying he will or won't, I just don't see a sure fire star yet.

Like I said, kid is good and I could end up being wrong. I'm just guessing his production as a freshman wouldn't be that hard to replace.

I'd be happy to get the kid, just not worried about it.

Say what you want. A hillbilly from SEKY. Isn't a lick of different than a hillbilly from ETN. Or SWVA.
Hillbillies and rednecks---one in the same. Although.............Some can be a little bit more extreme. I will say this-----I had to work a college series at Kentucky Christian University some years back. Thats Grayson, KY....Had 1pm first pitch on a Saturday---Cold as ****. Get back to the hotel, turn on some March madness----UK vs KSU, Sweet 16. Game ends...I want something to eat.Go into a Waffle House:---Not thinking----had on my IU 'boggin"---Bro you'd thought I'd interrupted a Black Panther meeting...

Different "breed" up that way my friend.

Fair enough. But hes not "A" top point guard prospect, hes THE top PG prospect. Kid is very good. I mean theres a rason Cal has recruited him this hard.

If you can put aside your hate for UL, the actual city is pretty cool on the river.

Sure it has its murders, but its a city, thats typical.

Kentucky Derby, Bourbon Distilleries, great restaurants, and theres always something or a concert going on.

I'd take Louisville over Indianapolis, Charlotte, Detroit, Cleveland or Cinci any day.

There’s many places in Indiana that will treat you the same if you are wearing blue.

Same “breed” up there my friend .

Cal also recruited Brandon Boston, Devin Askew, and other's that weren't that great. He's not immune to duds. I don't think this kids that bad mind you, I'm just not sold he is a top 10 pick, title team star PG kinda dude.

We've also been a bit spoiled with riches in the recruiting department, so my standards are a bit high. Don't blame you for being excited about him at all. He very well could prove me wrong.

If he commits to us I'll be convinced he's a stud in no time I'm sure. 😏
 
Like the fit with the guards you'll have this year too. I'm very interested to see how Kel'el Ware does as Big Ten doesn't see guys like that too often and think he can really be a weapon. I've got Michigan State as heavy favorite in Big Ten but think IU can be next best team as I despise the Purdue guards.

Everyone says "positionless" but end of day--it's about skill set allowing you get more freedom from coaches. Not vice versa.
That Purdue team outside of edey doesn’t look great.

I get this line of thinking...For Woody, and IU, could be on the cusp of a great class---If Fland commits, I think Queen follows. Woodson is recruiting very well right now. And even if he misses on Boogie, its encoraging that he could stsy in the "ring" this long.

Cals not immune to duds, no---But unless I am missing something here, Boston/Askew are outliers here. Cal rarely misses when it comes to PG's. Its so vital to what he wants to do.
 


I’m assuming this is in relation to Boogie fland 😃

Bro no ill intentions...It was a story, that "fit" the discussion, i,e, EKY hillbillies, etc. I wasn't poking fun at Kentucky.
