Somehow reminds me of Kalkbrenner, and I don’t like his game, and doesn’t remind me of SANOGO, whom I love. I’m a little biased towards old school centers, and I still can’t wrap my head around 7’4 guys shooting 3’s.

Totally irrational evaluation process I’ll be the first to admit. That being said, if Reibe committed tomorrow, es war bin SEHR GUT! His skills are really impressive, and, well he is 7’ tall.

Well we are a fast dying group of dinosaurs. No longer is the college game populated with those "so called " aircraft carriers, as the late Al McGuire used to call the big men in the middle. We don't see a Patrick Ewing, Hakeem, Kent Benson, or any other of the large big men from the 80s 90s and early 21st century. We all know how the game has changed dramatically. Even Donovan was a sort of throwback to those big men of those days. Was he real throwback?
No, he had the attributes of the new generation of big men. My thoughts are that we try to get a big man with the Clingan abilities, and expand on them.

Ok, if I'm a coach and I want a player I would go into certified stalker mode. When every program in the country wants a player, the vibe with a coach can be the turning point (positively or negatively.) I mean, we saw with KO, that he just apparently stopped communicating with prospective recruits. If our staff rolls three deep to see a player as often as possible, that's a serious flex.

Some or even a lot of players like that. I know secondhand through very reliable sources a major recruit that was turned off by “stalker mode” and took a school off his list because of it. Coaches really have to get to know the individual kid to see if that approach works or not. I’d say the majority like to be courted and heavily sought after. But some don’t want constant visits, calls, and texts.

Oh, I get that. And part of being a good recruiter is getting that vibe. Obviously the multiple in-home's and pop-ins we're doing illustrate that some of these kids really dig that attention and "love."

I think the fairly well-known Ray Allen story is that he was put off that Pitino, on their visit, didn't make him a big deal at a dinner with the players and he was put-off by that. I think Pitino basically said he would red carpet night one and then the let the recruit vibe with players night two. Ray didn't like that.
 
gotta look at the content of the meetings. stalkers don't tend to add a lot even if they are allowed to talk for months.

For sure, I was using hyperbole when using the stalker term. Would've been best just to say frequent, meaningful attention.

As I remember that story, we was "put off" because he was eating dinner at Pitino's restaurant, and Pitino was at a table eating and didn't even come over and say hello. Ray joked to another recruit "if Coach Calhoun was here, he'd be bringing over our food to the table!" The fact that he was at Kentucky and talking to another recruit about Jim Calhoun makes me smile to this day.

Lindy’s college Basketball magazine came out this week, In recruiting section they list Eric Reibe as committed to Creighton. Did he commit and reopen his recruitment or was that an error by the magazines powers to be ?

He never committed. He got a crystal ball to them at one point, but that's as far as it went.
 
"IU was a great visit,” he said via text. “I could get more insights and learn about their history and player development with big men like Trayce Jackson–Davis and Kel‘el Ware. They want me to come in and start as a freshman, they’ll be losing 3 bigs so they need someone to fill that spot. They see me playing in front of incoming transfers as well.”

In other words, completely new team. Maybe even new staff.

Nothing like the promise of playing time to induce a teenager - glad that's not an item on the UConn MBB staff list.
 
Someone should try to talk some sense into this young man. He’s not a one-and-done prospect; he’s at least 2 years away from the NBA. So instead of focusing on PT as a freshman, he should look at the potential for development over 2 (or more) years, i.e., Donovan Clingan.
 
all i can conclude is that indiana fans are pretty delusional and have some propaganda power in the media.
