    Cutting more talented players and paying less talented players lots of money. Yep sounds like the knicks

    I've let you do all the talking around here on this topic but just know I feel the same way. I've seen him several times and yeah he's constantly overlooked for whatever reason. Very complete player, excellent point guard skills.

    Hunter has been better than expected, Romeo works extremely hard, Forrester is a little more athletic than we thought. One thing that everyone says is these guys live in the gym. Nothing to do for 18-year-olds in the summer in Bloomington so they spend a lot of time in the gym.

    I wonder the same. I believe still, he has unreal potential. Really like his shot blocking ability. I begged to see more of him last season, but when I did, he acted lost on the court. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    (2019) PG DJ Carton to Ohio State

    Here's how I feel: Known Quantities (not all of them are star players, just known quantities): Romeo Langford Juwan Morgan Evan Fitzner Zach McRoberts Justin Smith Point guard = Question Mark - Need to go one for three: Al Durham Rob Phinisee DeVonte Green Rim Protector = Question Mark - Need to Go One For Four: Race Thompson Clifton Moore DeRon Davis Jake Forrester

    I think there's also a portion of fan (hello) who are just hesitant to expect much of a freshman in the B1G. Definitely believe all the people singing his praises, but I don't expect him to walk in and own the starting role day one.

    RP is currently quite the interesting enigma on this board. Those of us who watched him play numerous games over his high school career really believe he is a jewel and will end his IU career considered as among the best IU PG's ever. At the other end are those who consider him to be a question mark as a B1G PG. That's fair and I'm not claiming he's going to set the world on fire from day 1 but this kid can flat out play. Great court vision, ball handling and a pass first mentality. His high school senior year he didn't have the supporting cast he had as a soph. and jr. and he had to take a larger share of the scoring load and he did just that and did it quite well. I truly believe we're in for a real treat.

    (2019) SG Brandon Newman to Purdue

    No offense intended but I think the logic is a bit off. That same FW team went 18-15 (7-7) and lost in the first round of the CIT. The fact that some of their stars were IN kids who played two games with attitude two years in a row is important. But we need to compete on a much larger stage. Yes, let's take the top IN kids when we can, but we need to also recruit the top 'anywhere' kids when we can.

    (2019) PG DJ Carton to Ohio State

    I think Archie will give him his opportunity this year, almost has to. Archie and Clifton have to be on the same page or I think Clifton would have left after the season. Hoping to see some really good things out of him.

    2019 Guard

    I still don't think we are in dire need of a PG. A Jr Al Durham and Soph RP gives us a nice 1-2 punch. I really like Brandon Newman if we take a guard. I believe ee will need another shooter at the 2 spot. He's not a starter there, but what 2019 guards still available are?

    To answer your other question. Green has been off the charts this summer, Smith very good, Durham shot has improved, Race shows signs of helping. Morgan has been Morgan. That's all I have off of the top of my head.

    Getting Rid of Cable...maybe

    I’m thinking about just doing away with cable and sticking with WiFi and then get a live streaming thing with sling or someone else......does anyone have any input or use a live stream group? Just finally getting to the point where cable for $165 a month is starting to get crazy when I don’t watch a lot of tv.

    2019 Guard

    The most realistic to me are Anthony Harris or Armaan Franklin. He's not been offered, but I think Samari Curtis is a distinct possibility.

    This post is ironic coming from a poster that literally gets "triggered" about every little thing IU related.

    (2019) PG DJ Carton to Ohio State

    From what I have been told is that Ohio St offered Carton to start from day 1. IU and UM were not willing to give him a starting spot. We feel very good this offseason with how well Green, Durham have looked and now having RP on campus. I said this last year so take it for what it's worth but Green has looked unbelievable this offseason. Now let's hope he can take it to games this season.

    (2019) PG DJ Carton to Ohio State

    Count me pleased. I've been on Phinisee's bandwagon for 2+ years, and I want HIM to be our guy for the next 4 years. A 5* kid is going to play and play a lot. And he should. Carton would have (by default, maybe not by performance) pushed RP aside; and it would have stunted the growth of a kid who I think will be terrific at Indiana. Would love to see another PG signed in 2019 or 2020; but a 5* the year behind Phinisee may have been a bad fit and I wish Carton well. I'll take my chances w Phinisee and take all comers.

    I hope in about 4 decades I’m sitting around telling my kids and grandkids how we have to be careful with this hire and explaining the horror of the B.A. times. Before Archie.

    Corruption in College Basketball

    Absolutely, Kansas is a victim here and Poor Self, having all that talent forced on him? What a nightmare, when he really wanted scholar-athletes that major in chemistry and accounting. Also, Lamborghinis are very common in Lawrence, KS from what I've heard- they treat them like a Kia or Suzuki. Nothing to see here.

    It’s better than sitting there waiting and then being stuck with recruiting the April, Priller, and Gelon level recruits to finish out the class.
