Can you expand on "issues?" (Other than Crean being a creepy guy.)

Ironic. Remember Crean chewing out Kelvin Sampson's former assistant for the too much texting/phone debacle? Indiana must not be one of the protected. Schools like Carolina and the SEC schools can pay players, get caught with fake classes, and they get nothing. Indiana makes too many phone calls and they get bloodied.

The NCAA doesn't like the warm up pants!

12 days until Robinson visits UConn. The key will be making it through those 12 days.
 
So Jerry Meyer crystal ball is at 50/50 after IU visit... not sure that's news, but I expect it to swing in IU's favor so this must be a good sign, right?
 
As long as UConn gets their official visit I will still feel good about our chances. After losing out on a few recruits before they even made it to campus I feel that the whole last visit/later visit thing is overrated, I'd rather get them here ASAP. KO was still the first coach to offer him and the first coach to establish a relationship with him out of the remaining 5, lets see what he can sell him when he hopefully gets here.

It's a very good sign. I think this one will come down to the connection Ollie has with the kid, just like Larrier's did with Smart.

Has there been word about how he/his family are tight w/ KO or are you just speculating?

It has been swinging towards IU. First 5 picks were Uconn, all of which are at least a few weeks old. The 5 most recent picks were IU.
 
If he doesn't commit to Indiana before UCONN visit then I will feel pretty doggone good about his ending up at UCONN when all is said and done.
 
One thing people are missing here is that he's visiting Florida prior to UConn, and Florida has a need for a SF. They have one kid who will be a junior when Robinson is a freshman.

Indiana, meanwhile, is stacked at the SF position. Multiple young players.

Just the usual fluff, but we were the first big school on the kid, which is almost always an advantage.
 
I'm not a big proponent of selling playing time but it looks like IU has 5 SF's already for 2014. Maybe some of those guys will play the 4 but its still a log jam. In addition, IU has only one scholly left and they need another PG much more than a SF. Assuming Daniels opts for the NBA we will only have DHam (who also plays the 2) and Tolk play the 3. That's gotta factor in....
 
Enough with whatever the god-damn crystal ball 'experts' say... i'm sick of hearing about these dudes changing their minds every two seconds based on pure speculation. They don't seem to know

Let the kid take his visits. Once he gets on campus here and I have faith in Ollie.

Calhoun will also play some three, maybe more than Daniel.
 
The "crystal balls" aren't worth much but I would expect them to swing to whichever school a kid just visited unless the visit went poorly which doesn't seem to happen much. My only concern was having him not commit during the visit, mission accomplished. I'll take my chances on Ollie getting his chance to make a pitch.
 
I've heard he really likes Florida. Anybody want any action on whether he commits on his visit?

i take it.. there is limited info on the kid, but have not heard much interested in florida
 
I think Notre Dame, Indiana, and Florida are all major players in addition to us. Wouldn't be shocked if he committed to any of those schools.

As an aside, I wish every kid handled their recruitment like Devin. No shenanigans or constant "leaks" to the press from his camp as a way to drive up the price, no mystery visits, no de-commitments three minutes after committing, no "I'll decide in the next week" statements when he's not going to be ready in the next week, etc. Just take your visits and decide when you're ready. It shouldn't be that hard.

I think he makes it to UConn uncommitted if only because his AAU coach has such strong ties to UConn.
