Lots of chatter privately seems to be about Wilkes to IU but UCLA sure is fighting tooth and nail.

Believe Waters is going to Georgetown from what most are saying.

I would agree if I thought it had any bearing.

^^^ Could be. But, I suppose it isn't a bias if that is where he ends up. Hard to say as of right now because we don't know what will happen. Though, it seems likely we have a good idea.

Most of the chatter I'm hearing from other coaches and friends in Indy are that he is a mortal lock to IU. I personally don't feel that way and think UCLA or Illinois could pull off a stunner here but they know more about this than I do. Just passing along what I'm hearing.

Decision coming shortly I'm told.

I don't disagree with what you're saying TCTornado. I'd say the longer, maybe the worse for IU. But, all the "intel" suggests IU is the team to beat here and the chatter from his parents to reporters is he would be there for HH. Again, time will tell but right now IU is in the drivers seat...

Some of the intel that has come my way the last few days... - "At this point, I lean to nothing happening this week with Wilkes. But, I absolutely would not be surprised if he does commit this week. Other schools are working hard to hold it off, but there is a genuine concern among non-Indiana...

Just reading the board lately. I think Purdue's program is on the verge of being in some serious trouble in two years' time. They have to find some capable players. I think many are expending a lot of energy on here about Kris Wilkes. I'm as guilty as others. I'd love to think he's coming to...

I agree. He will need another 10-12 lbs and will need to show quite a bit more interest throughout the course of games.

Stretch I used mistakenly. I remember when Indiana had Christian Watford. Watford was 6'8 or so but was never much of a "4" man though that was his position, by default, because they had Zeller. I think Smith will plant himself out wide in a 4-out offense because he, or Wilkes, or most for...

Your point is accurate about the transition. Both are high-flyers. I think Wilkes drifts a bit more in settled offense and has regularly hinted he is a "3" man where someone like Smith seems to operate a touch more on the baseline in settled offense which, to me, tells me he is a lot more of a...

I'm simply here to talk basketball if you were referring to me. Also you said "thank you tho" to the premise they play the same position. Can I ask how you feel this way? Have you seen both play with regularity? I ask because I have seen them both quite a bit and don't feel this way...

Sorry you feel that way Tornado. I think you can understand I am referencing that they are two very different players who play two separate positions. No?
