Live Blog: Barnstorming tour at New Albany

by in Game Threads | August 2nd, 2007

Live BlogWe’re just a couple of hours away from the IU recruit barnstorming tour getting underway at New Albany High School. I’ve heard from a few readers that will be in attendance, but for those of you who are unable to attend, you won’t have to go without your fix. I’ve got you covered right here.

A special thanks to Mr. Lee Kelly of WNAS for making the necessary arrangements that will allow Inside the Hall to live blog the game. Mr. Kelly does an excellent job running the Radio and TV program at New Albany High School and is a first class individual.

As I told you yesterday, there is a good possibility that I’ll have the chance to talk to some of the recruits either before or after the game, so if you have any questions you’d like to have asked, please post them in the comments. No guarantees, but I’ll do my best.

I’ll update throughout the game, so just click below to continue reading and remember that once we’re underway, you’ll need to refresh to see the latest information. We’re live and blogging away, so click the link to continue and join the discussion. Enjoy!

On Deck: Thursday’s recruit game

by in Media | August 1st, 2007

iu.jpgAfter a couple of phone calls and some investigation, I’ve got a pretty good grasp of the festivities that will be taking place Thursday night at 7 PM at New Albany High School. Tickets will be sold at the door beginning at 6PM for $7 each.

Playing for the IU recruit team will be Eric Gordon, Jamarcus Ellis, Eli Holman, DeAndre Thomas, Brandon McGee and Jordan Crawford. Joining them will be Bloomington North sophomore-to-be Ray McCallum Jr. and 2008 verbal Bud Mackey from Scott County (KY).

They’ll square off with a team of locals from the Southern Indiana area. Of note for those in the New Albany area are current New Albany players Braydon Hobbs and Spencer Shannon. Logan Jones (committed to Valparaiso) from Madison will also participate.

It’s an excellent opportunity to get a first hand look at what’s on the horizon this upcoming season for Indiana Basketball so I encourage any of you in the area to come on out. For those who can’t attend, we’ll have a live blog, pictures, interviews (time permitting) and notes from the event.

Wednesday morning links and NA recruit game

by in Media | August 1st, 2007

Doug GottliebIt’s the first day of August and we’re just a day away from the recruit barnstorming tour tipping off. As we told you a week or so ago, we’ll be at the New Albany game (and maybe a few other stops) and for those that can’t attend tomorrow evening, we’ll be bringing you live blog coverage. So be sure to check that out.

After surfing the Web, I’ve scrounged up a few links of interest for Hoosier fans. I promise these will be somewhat entertaining, so go ahead and give ‘em a click.

- IU plans to honor Coach Hoeppner. {Indy Star}
- IU target and Lawrence North junior-to-be Stephan Van Treese selected for the Adidas basketball experience. {Indy Star}
- Now that we’re all talking about it, Big Ten commish Jim Delaney says expansion is unlikely. {Indy Star}
- IU tight end and former QB Blake Powers arrested. {IDS}
- Doug Gottlieb of the World Wide Leader (Free Insider, yipee!) reveals that it’s no secret USA Basketball stinks right now. {ESPN}

So long for now, happy Wednesday and my apologies for the Gottlieb picture.

Recruit game info, Live Bloggin’ coming your way

by in Media | July 24th, 2007

We’ve received lots of questions about the upcoming IU recruit barnstorming tour — and here’s what we know, by way of the event directors. The 2007-08 incoming Indiana University recruiting class — including Indiana Mr. Basketball Eric Gordon, Jordan Crawford, Jamarcus Ellis, Eli Holman, Brandon McGee and DeAndre Thomas — will have five scrimmages across the state. Currently, games are scheduled for New Albany (August 2), Batesville (August 3), North Daviess (August 7) and Muncie Central (August 9), with an additional contest in Indianapolis to be announced at a later date. Often, area high school and college players are invited to participate with and against the IU recruits.

I’ve also received quite a few e-mails asking for times and ticket information. When that information is available, I’ll be sure to pass it along.

By the way, Inside the Hall will be at the New Albany game and we hope to bring you live blog updates from the event. The details are not yet finalized, but it should be a good ol’ time. Like many of you, we can’t wait to get a look at the incoming class. I just hope the NCAA doesn’t come and kick us out.
