Decision soon

I mean wouldn't you though? If you think a bigger school might offer you and they're telling you they are gonna come watch you soon, why pull the trigger on a place you're no entirely comfortable with? There's the risk the scholly won't be available, but that's a risk he might be willing to take. I would say the good thing Ohio has going for it right now is that he's been on campus. He doesn't have that luxury at the other schools except Furman.

The other side of that coin is that Purdue comes to the Convo a couple of years from now and he might really want to make them pay for passing on him.

I hope your dating analogy was still in context, because "play a lot" made me chuckle. Or I just have a dirty mind.

Bane announced as an All Star.



Full story before it comes out in the Star the 28th

Thirteen players have been selected for the 2016 IndyStar Indiana Boys All-Stars, it was announced Tuesday (April 12).

The Indiana All-Stars program was founded in 1939 when the Indiana Boys All-Stars played the state champion Frankfort Hot Dogs. The series with Kentucky began in 1940, and the girls portion of the All-Stars was added in 1976.
The Indiana portion of the All-Star Games is organized and produced by the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association. The Indianapolis Star, with its IndyStar brand, is the title sponsor and Best Choice Fieldhouse is a presenting sponsor.

Mr. Basketball is selected through a balloting process of coaches and media overseen by game organizers from the IBCA. The remainder of the team is finalized by All-Star game director Charlie Hall after observing numerous games and events throughout the season, conferring with coaches, school officials and media across the state and reviewing votes submitted by coaches and media who each can recommend up to 12 players.

He is making his decision on April 23rd. I wonder if that means we won't see any moved made until then?

In video he mentions favorites among offers is Miami, Ohio, IPFW and New Orleans. Also mentions Purdue, Northwestern, Xavier and Seton Hall also recruiting him.

Sounds like he is waiting on a Purdue offer. Hopefully for us they don't offer and we can scoop him up.

Of? ;)

All quiet on the recruiting front. Did a search just now and there is almost nothing on the net over the last 24 hours regarding Bane. Loose lips sink scholarships? Guess we will know soon enough, right?

Winthrop offered too. It would be great if he landed in the MAC to make the conference better as a whole, even if he's not on Ohio.
