I noticed no one posted this, so I wanted to share. I'm fully on board that Deron Davis is committed to remaining a Hoosier next year and leave on a high note. This interview, much like an interview I posted earlier in the season (after the first Michigan State game), makes me excited to see Deron finally play a full and healthy season next year. He WANTS to be the leader, and I think he will be. For as tough of a path as he has had, he has always carried himself with a mental toughness and a humor to get through it all. I hope his summer goes as well as he plans and he comes back as a dominant (and healthy) force inside for Indiana next year. He also mentions why he wasn't in the game during the second half...yet another setback, although this time it seems to be minor.

Check this out from iuhoosiers.com. Five Hoosiers named Academic All-Big Ten. Justin and Zach are often mentioned in conversations on this site, sometimes not in a positive way, but there is nothing more impressive than this, juggling an athletes schedule and school work. Vijay, Johnny and Quentin may not get the accolades as others on the team, but they put in the time as well, challenging, competing and making the team better.Congratulations to these fine young men. Men's Basketball 3/20/2019 2:59:00 PM Five Men’s Basketball Players Named Academic All-Big Ten Story Links ROSEMONT, Ill. - The Big Ten Conference recognized a total of 928 students competing in winter sports who have been named to the Academic All-Conference team Wednesday.

It must be miserable looking on the down side of things all the time. I hear Zoloft does wonders.

SWEET 16 BABY! Cheap tickets, GA seating, free parking again. IUBB Tweeter says afternoon tip incoming. Edit: NOON TIP FOLKS Tickets Linky: http://bit.ly/2TRCYQ0

Exactly right. I mean at University of No Classes you can get a 6.0 on a 4.0 scale without ever going to a class or doing any actual work on your own.

Negative is were trying to win and he is one of our stars. I however think he is legitimate hurt and will play if healthy Sent from my SM-G960U using BtownBanners mobile app

As long as we still have games and he's still part of this team, he should be playing.

Ncaa must of knew I was in the building. They are playing the 87 championship game on the big screen before the games get started today Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

We’re 33 games into the season and just hoping the team gives effort for a full 40 minutes. I think all the players, managers, coaching staff, support staff, AD, president, and the BoT should run until this changes. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

It's showtime! Go Hoosiers!

Beyond curious to see how we finish off this class and who may transfer. #bebetterhoosiers Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

That would do wonders for our APR if we sent Romeo out the door without finishing in good standing. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Romeo should absolutely in no way rush back for the NIT if he’s even remotely injured. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I would think that without their middle guy, Morgan and Davis should get 75% of the touches before a shot even goes up. A rim protector kind of guy seems to be our achilles heel. He's not there. Go after it now!

Color me shocked.

He said last night on Twitter that those rumors are false. He will be at UK next year. Now that some of teams seasons ending last night we might hear of some other kids transferring that we might have interest in. Some Indiana kids but we'll see

Should definitely be four quarters. Makes much more sense than halves. Only a matter of time

Falzon kept us out of the tournament (among many other things), that hurts to think about

If a school can decline, I have no problem with a kid (that will not be there for much longer) declining. The NIT is meaningless. Happy to watch IU play more games, but I'd rather see guys that are going to be back next year. Additional practice time and development for the younger guys is the only meaningful byproduct. I have zero problem with a senior (Taylor) getting a bunch of minutes in the NIT If Durham, Green, and Phin get in foul trouble or foul out. Don't forget we have a kid with moves like Jager.

Lol. I saw that too and wouldn’t dare mention it while we were recruiting him. But now..... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Agree to disagree. NIT is like a bad CFB bowl. It has more value as increased practice time for next year, then anything else. Winning without him would mean more than winning with him (from a team perspective).. And for him to risk injury is silly if he's a lottery pick.

Thanks for the responses.

I agree Old Friend took it a step too far there. Old Friend, you've stated your position time after time. Everyone knows how you feel. There might be some that disagree with you. You need to learn to deal with it. Repeating yourself, and trashing this kid, won't make people suddenly agree with you.
