[419] Recruiting, NCAA Rule Changes, Clifton Moore ... And More

Published: Aug. 10, 2018, 3:10 a.m.

b'This week on The Assembly Call, we cover a hodgepodge of topics in yet another week without any major IU basketball news to capture our focus.

On the mics this week: Jerod, Ryan, and Coach Tonsoni.

In Segment One (2:20), we discuss the latest recruiting developments -- including a few new players who are planning to visit campus. We also address the emerging topic among some IU fans that Archie Miller may have overplayed his hand with the 2019 recruiting class. We don\'t agree.

In Segment Two (19:00), we dissect the big college basketball news of the week: the NCAA rule changes that were announced on Wednesday. Why will the reality of implementation not match the headlines? What storyline is being overlooked? And what does Coach think about the impact the new rules will have on college, high school, and summer coaches?

In Segment Three (37:02), we talk Clifton Moore. We can\'t do our usual offseason player deep dive, because we just don\'t have that much to go on with Clifton. What are fair expectations for his sophomore year? And could Evan Fitzner end up being a good mentor for him as a player?

Then in Segment Four (49:00), we take your questions.

\\u2022 Is Robert Phinisee being overlooked?
\\u2022 Which of IU\'s players pass the "rec center eye test" the best, simply based on their size and physique?

All of that and more on this week\'s edition of Assembly Call Radio.'
