'18 OH SF Jerome Hunter (Indiana signed, transfer to Xavier)

Something better than what we have so far.

You're not usually this optomistic this quick......

All this over a Dave Biddle prediction/comment? Let's see how it plays out.

Furthermore I think Biddle just tried to add one plus one. Hunter makes official visit to Michigan, therefore Hunter likely to end up there. Just a week before he was at OSU, and Jerry Meyer predicted OSU. Maybe he's just trying to compare schools? Perhaps next week he'll be at Xavier? Of course it wouldn't be a shock if he ends up somewhere other than OSU, but I think Holt and the Bucks are right in the middle of the mix.

I think the month of July is mostly a dead period anyway so we might not be hearing his decision until after this month. Hopefully, Coach Holtmann's assistants can do some good bumping with their Ohio State here on during the month of July.

July is an open period. It's the biggest open period of the year. All of the big AAU tournaments are in July.

ETA: April is the other big open month for basketball.

I know you know your shit but moving this conversation to the Basketball Recruiting thread.

Per Corey Evans, unidentified OSU coach plus IU coach Archie Miller watching Jerome this evening in AAU tourney.

On Wednesday, the five finalists for the top-50 Hunter - Indiana, Ohio State, Michigan, Xavier and Pittsburgh - were each in attendance. Thursday, Archie Miller, Chris Holtmann, Chris Mack, and John Beilein each caught a glimpse of the rising senior, as did Louisville head coach Rick Pitino and a UNC assistant.

Multiple reports say he's committed to IU. Darn.

You win some, you lose some I guess, with Jallow on board I can say this stings a little less, idk maybe Talen Horton-Tucker gets full court press now...

 

[buckeyesin07]

Eh, better there than Michigan (which is where I thought he was going).

 

[MaxBuck]

Poop.

 

[DZ83CK]

It's a tough loss in recruiting, but clearly OSU was not rolling out the red carpet for him, as they obviously are prioritizing guards in this class. I think he was worth a higher priority, the staff was just stuck on adding guards. Chris will just have to find a way without him, it may not be as talented a way, but he is not the type to not have decent fallback options.
