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.

Alex's comment below 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.

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.

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.
