Athleticism

high energy

length.

For me, it is:

 

 - Yogi Ferrell

 

 - Will Sheehey

 

 - Noah Vonleh

 

I know that is pretty simple, but here is why. Yogi Ferrell will be in the running for best PG in the league. While IU was struggling but working it's way back, we lacked a significant player, and that was Yogi. He's extremely dynamic with the ball, and very good defender, and a great floor general.

 

With Will Sheehey, he brings the edge and toughness the young guys can feed on. A lot of the Freshman have that, but Will can bring it out of them on the floor. It's hard for young guys to play on the road, but Will's toughness and edge will go a long way for the young guys.

 

Vonleh, he will be the most versatile player in the BIG10 as a Freshman. At 6'10, 7'4 wingspan, rebounding machine, versatile scorer, and a very good motor. I think he will be the leader for BIG10 Freshman of the year, and will push for 1st team All BIG10. We need to enjoy him while we have him.

1.  More athleticism and length

2.  A year of experience for Hollowell, Yogi, et al

3.  We don't have to worry about the Syracuse zone ending our season (yet) :P

 

I had to put that last one in there, just couldn't resist.

1.  We probably have the most raw talent we have had in a long time.  Eventually it will refine.

 

2.  Yogi - if you have a pg you can win, and we have a pg. 

 

3.  Noah Vonleh - he sounds like he is a freshman that can make a big difference immediately.

Losing to Syracuse the way we did was embarrassing.
