@hoosiers94 Nice! I was just getting into following all this stuff on Peegs a few years before that. And I remembered being frustrated with some of the stories I heard on the Harongody recruitment, and the JJ and Hummel recruitments too.

yeah Davis screwed Harangody up as well. I went to Andrean and was on the foundation board at the time. How we lost him , his dad and brother played football for us. Just another reason Davis had no business being our coach.
@hoosiers94 The infamous cancelled meeting and visit because they were resurfacing the Assembly Hall floor, is one of the main things I remember from the Harongody recruitment. Its crazy to think what that 2000 through 2010 ish era could have looked like for IU, if the admin (and RMK for that matter), had handled the end of his coaching tenure better.
But yeah, I was only half joking on Hummel. Its pretty well known when he was younger, and even in to HS, he wanted to play at IU.
Really, almost anyone who was impressionable in the 70s, 80s, and 90s wanted to play at IU instead of going to that school up north.
Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for. - Seamus Heaney, Irish poet and likely Hoosier basketball fan.

I almost forgot about the floor resurfacing debacle. :). Davis was so enthralled with recruiting outside of Indiana and the 5 star home run recruits he just kind of ignored Luke and Hummel, Martin and Johnson.. to his detriment and E'twaun Moore.

At least we landed Josh Smith. A true Hoosier for life.
