If anyone cares ESPN has IU as "the next four out" on their way too early bracketology. Lunardi is awful anyway.

Surely, all he can go by is known players, right? We're probably going to add 2 players that give us the chance to be a lot better than otherwise.

Yeah I expect it to look a lot different next time. I'm just glad we have a coach who knows he HAS to win next year. Unfortunately for Crean I don't think getting a grad transfer was as popular in 2009-2011. Max was the first and only one we got. I know a lot of people don't like the grad transfer rule but I do. Let Mid Major players go to a power 5 for one year.

I think Nick Z was also or he would have had to sit out a year.

Sorry if this was already posted elsewhere, I couldn't remember if I had seen it on here or not but I've been seeing/hearing a lot of talk about letting athletes with 3.0+ GPAs transfer and not have to sit out a year. Would be a very interesting rule change

Goodness it would be a mess.

The only good would be that UNC would start offering real classes in order to lower GPA's.

Question for those that want to do the research or know of the top of their head, but I’m curious. Has there ever been a grad transfer make all conference in the BIG? 

Wasn't Bielefeld 6th man his year here?

I doubt that. No one from UNC will want to transfer to a school where they have to take actual college courses.

Latest post from basketball workouts shows the whole team or at least the guys we thought my leave participating.

Forgot about that, nice catch 

[AKHoosier 6,556]

Wow if we get Porter and Romeo/Taylor that would be quite an upgrade in talent.

Hopefully Archie can make it happen.

[HoosierAloha 29,887]

Yeah, a Porter/Taylor or Porter/Romeo combo would be a nice addition.

Porter - Davis - Thompson
Morgan - Smith - Thompson
Smith - Hunter - McBob
Romeo/Taylor - McBob - Durham
Green - Phinisee

I don't really expect Davis, Thompson, Durham, or McBob to get big minutes.

Agreed Top 100 recruit with a year of practice under his belt.

[HoosierAloha 29,887]

Thompson will get a lot of minutes.

What do you consider a lot? If we pickup a grad transfer big I see him at 15 mpg next season. He might get 20.

Al Durham and Clifton Moore were on twitter accompanying Juwan, Justin, and Cliff Marshall to Easter services. Al also tweeting support for IUWBB.

Good signs for sure.

 

I was working in Bloomington all day today, so I stopped to grab dinner at Buffalouis and ate it next to cook hall. Just wanted to eat my dinner in front of 2 National treasures. Around 5:20 ish, Juwan, Clif, Justin Smith and Al all came out together and got into Juwan’s suv. All laughing and having a good time.... McBob followed.... then God (CAM) came out looking like a 16 year old kid..... god drives a Cadillac btw.

This is the kind of high level detective work that is expected around these parts. Bravo good sir.

FYI

Porter has never veered very far from home -- from George Mason to ODU. That doesn't necessarily mean anything -- just throwing this out there. Heck, for all we know, he might actually want to get far away from home for his final stop. But the Twerps certainly are close to home.
