Paul Scruggs

[XMuskieFTW]

Him moving out west doesn't concern me at all cause he's not any closer to anyone else recruiting him and I have a hard time seeing a new school jumping in and being able to out recruit those who have put in so much time.
The only thing that slightly concerns me is the long wait. Gives other schools like msu to gain ground, however him being far away probably makes that more difficult.
Until I hear anything credible on another school really challenging Xavier in the recruitment, I'm not going to be overly worried and just sit back and wait.

yep this is how im looking at it. No need to be worried about it, unless there is news stating otherwise, which there hasnt been at this point.

It's hilarious to me that a blog and "some other articles" are treated as gospel, while an actual article in the indystar is completely biased and ridiculous. You can't make this stuff up. Some of you crack me up.

i havent read any of the blogs or other articles people are referring to, but in regards to the indystar article it is pretty clear they are just trying to demean his decision to transfer out of indiana. indystar and doyel are retweeting that article with the headline "Paul Scruggs is transferring to a PO Box". If that doesnt sounds like their feelings are hurt then i dont know what does.

"Some other articles" were written by guys whose jobs largely depend on how well they communicate with high school players and their families. I think they should be taken more seriously than Doyel.

Say what you want but Doyel has a done a great job covering Indiana Sports (imho) since he came to the Star. Do I think he's pandering to the IU "HS kid leave state" paranoia/apathy"? Yes.

Definitely fair. Dakich also spent a week "eviscerating" (his description) Prolific Prep and people like Justin Albers jumped on board. Personally, I find it hilarious that no one in that circle is mentions the fact that a year from now, Scruggs is 99.9% going to be eligible and playing high-major ball, which is really all that matters. The posturing that competing for a state title (looks unlikely with Romeo in the picture) or Mr. Basketball (probably gonna go to Wilkes, especially if he goes to IU) should be more important to Scruggs is comical from an outsider's perspective.

Didn't Josh Jackson from finish a year there this year before heading to KU?

right when Prolific Prep came in to existence, Josh Jackson decided to go there, which i always thought was weird

yes, he played there the past 2 seasons and was essentially the first player to go there once PP started

Rivals still like Scruggs to come to the Muskies. Here's the link (https://basketballrecruiting.rivals....s-land-part-i-) to the article on 4-star recruit predictions. Scruggs is the second player listed.
