Question... if everyone comes back and I mean everyone, OG, JBJ etc. How would the scholarships work? I know Smith signed his NLI so he's coming but what happens if we don't have room?

Fan favorite? Come on he's a joke and the fans know it. I'm sure nice kid but at this level a ball boy at best

Someone direct this man to the MSB thread ASAP

If anyone is gone, it's more than likely Gelon. I don't see him being rotation player at all for the next three years.

I know some DII coaches that were watching Gelon, same tournaments Crean was at recruiting him and they (DII coaches) told me that after scouting him for awhile they didn't see anywhere on their team where he would be able to contribute and be beneficial so they didn't even try to recruit him.

Sorry but Priller playing against Purdue was one of the best moments of the year! We can't Crean Priller !!!!

I don't know if anyone has mentioned Justin Smith all that much, but the kids legit. Insane athlete, kid can jump out of his shoes. When I watched him play, he dislocated the rim and they had to stop the game for a few minutes. He could be an awesome multiple year player, especially under Archie.

Did Justin Smith reaffirm his commitment to Archie / iu? He's been awfully quiet

No, but he never asked out of his NLI and still has IU in his social media.

No but he hasn't asked to be let our of his LOI and he's had 5 days after the leak plus the 11 or so days after Crean got creaned

I'm not surprised. I'm sure he's a great kid, but he's not Indiana material.

Yep never should have been given a scholarship. He should have been a preferred walk on like Niego

I have a friend at Dayton who played a pickup game with Kostas Antetokounmpo and apparently Kostas will probably transfer to IU depending on his impression of Dayton's new head coach. Not super credible but something to watch

[iuswingman 1,940]

which means if JBJ doesn't go pro, someone is in for a creaning.

Apparently, Dayton is close to hiring Anthony Grant. ... He's a Dayton alum. Did well at VCU; not so well at Alabama. 

[Ajwhitis 705]

If Kostas were to transfer would he be required to sit out a year even though he already sat the 2016-2017 season out?

FWIW some basic fans tweeted about us being experienced and mentioned OG coming back and his buddy replied OG is going to the league bro in caps and OG liked it. Sounds like he is working on finding an agent right now. Janitors tweet of OG rehabbing in queens was true he was also meeting with potential reps. I didnt think anything of it cause no announcement has been made and that was 2 weeks ago.

Pretty much 98% of these so called internet connected guys have been flat out wrong the last three weeks. Now he very well may go pro but these internet sources have no credibility with me. Whatever albers says the opposite will happen.

There will not be any creaning. I assume at least one player transfers. Probably johnson imo.

He'd be eligible to play by the B1G season.

Why would Johnson transfer and sit out a year? Very unlikely imo.

There was talk he would be a grad transfer.
