At least come visit us Selby! Maybe at Hoosier Hysteria?

Sounds like the old... "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you are with."

I hope Josh Selby doesn't see it that way. I hope Crean has a lot of ideas on telling Josh Selby that he is the one IU REALLY loves!!!

We are done, Irving will not be a Hoosier. Oh well, on to the next, whom ever that might be. I doubt Selby is coming, I think Crean may be just a little frustrated and knew he needed to do something. Selby's mother states they are turning no schools away.

This is not good. Every one of the fathers quotes after saying "a family engagement" came up that weekend, refutes that it's really a family engagement. If it was, the simple answer would be that they're rescheduling with Indiana asap.

Looks like Irving is not going to be a Hoosier

Alex's comment above about Davis is interesting. Indicating a heavy IU lean?

Just from knowing that the Zellers and Plumlees have been through this so many times before, I would be surprised if Tyler or Marshall committed before next year. I think they will be conservative and patient and wait to see if anything happens that will effect their decisions. That's just my take from a distance. No special knowledge on my part.

and let me add. What if Crean has the ultimate recruiting chip in his back pocket now, a five star PG, Kyrie Irving. We know there is so much that, well...we really don't know. Maybe it is KI is coming and he is going to use that to wow Selby. Perhaps KI has even told Selby and that is why Selby has allowed us to come in late. Think of the possibilities. Let's keep positive and keep building.

Definitely enjoy the more optimistic views on this. I don't think Crean would immediately turn out and try recruiting a kid that is friends with KI because he believes KI is not going to committ to us. He isn't stupid, he knows the players talk to each other. I agree that their is a sense of urgency in all recruiting but desperation I am not so sure of. I don't see that in Crean. I think Crean is showing how serious he is in bringing on Irving as his PG and adding a guy like Selby who can play the two guard as his running mate. KI may want to be wowed by a school that could add a friend he's played with on the AAU circuit to seal the deal.

Thanks Alex. I love the site, and you guys do a phenomenal job! As I said earlier to Diesel, I never stopped visiting the site daily, I really have no explanation as to why I was commenting much.

I saw that thing as well. Josh Selby is a very good athlete that would fit in really well with an uptempo system. I was really surprised that we were able to jump in on him. I would warn people not to get too excited about him. The connections are there but Selby is considering a ton of schools. It appears IU is in the thick of it but he is nowhere close to having an established leader. This would be an astonishing get for TC and I don't see any negatives to other players if we don't. By the way guys, it's Selby not Shelby.

Good to have you back posting, BGleas.

Thanks Alex. Trying to take a positive spin :).

I wouldn't take it as such.

There has been talk on here before about KI commiting and bringing friends with him. Maybe Crean has been reading those posts and liked the idea. Hopefully this could be the first sign of that. From what I've heard Selby and KI were the best two players on their team at the Nike Globals. Adding the two of them and then talking Gilchrist into joining the following year.

The coaches do just as much, if not more, screwing around with the players. KI doesn't seem to be a prima donna at all, he's seems to be just trying to make the right choice.

Re: Indiana to visit 2010 five-star guard Josh Selby

BGleas — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 08:20:53 -0000

It could be that Crean is getting the feeling that KI and Selby would want to play together, and Duke doesn't seem to be going after Selby. Maybe going after Selby is a good sign on the KI recruitment?

Commitments are a bit like coaching changes - one guy leaves, then someone moves to fill their spot and the dominoes start falling. I think we are just a few Kentucky and Duke commitments away from knowing a bit more about what our team will look like.

I'd like to be the first domino to fall - beginning Oct 2nd. Kyrie, you are still our man. Could you please fall into Mr Selby?

A commitment from Davis at some point in his junior year doesn't seem to be out of the question.

GF - You're right, and admittedly I wasn't thinking about the VO commit, but I was really hoping that Etherington's verbal would go ahead and draw Zeller or J Davis, some of the local kids with ties to Etherington.

Thanks Kelin great infor.
I think we lost Irving to Duke. First, he speaks highly of Coach K. and Duke. Second, Coach Crean has told him he was our Point guard Now He is recruiting Shelby? I also hear he is getting alot of pressure from Harrison Barnes to commit to Duke with him. I will also go on record as saying he will commit to IU or Duke during the visits. So forget it Kentucky fans.
I thought I read something about a year ago that shelby was playing in open gym at IU. After doing some research found he was commited to Tenn. Thought it was strange then, but maybe an omen

In my late night channel surfing saw some highlights on espn2 of the elite 24 classic in NY I believe and a few observations....

1. It would really suck if KI didn't come to IU, a very very smooth guard and a good steering wheel to the big dance.

2. It would really suck if Josh Shelby didn't come to IU, a very very smooth guard and a good steering wheel to the big dance.....also a great athlete.

3. Austin Rivers, is slight of build, but has a lot O game! Dear Austin it is ok to decommit and join your brother, no really it is.......He will be one of the best players in the country wherever he goes. A lot of steph curry in him...

Not sure who mentioned it, but I do like the observation of IU recruiting shelby to turn up some heat on KI. Crean has to keep recruiting and as I think he mentioned before..."you are either on or you are off, recruits take note, but this train is leaving the station....."

Victor is ON
Who else?

VO committed after Etherington.

Nathaniel Falk — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 22:53:29 -0000

This definitely screams out that Irving will not be attending IU to me. Either way with VO and either guy it would be amazing. My whole thing is when are the bigs coming into play 2011?2012? I know all the bigs we have now are all probably 4 year players but you never know what might may happen have to be prepared we are going have more 6'2-6'5 guys then a Big&Tall store.

I really thought the Etherington verbal would have lead to a couple more by now. Getting a bit restless....

I can't see how the Selby news means anything negative in regard to the recruitment to KI. Let's see if Duke also tries for an in-home with Mr. Selby. A nice ploy by Calipari to stay behind for the 1st visit so that Kentucky can have a second home visit.
