(2015) C Thomas Bryant to IU

[MartintheMopMan 7,765]

Checked a Syracuse board and one of the posters said "Why Bloomington, Indiana???"

I assume he's never been there.

The board I read (with over 2500 posts on TB) is heartbroken. As of Thursday the posters were all "The rumor I heard is Bryant committed last week to jb. Bryant wanted to wait till his last game to announce."
Now it's "OMG... the fact that he picked IU over us really puts a lot of things in a new perspective. One that I'm not particularly fond of."

 

I love it.

I'm extremely happy! Looks like a solid big man. Goes to the rim with passion. Not the best leaper in the world but we have plenty of those. OG, Troy, and Hanner.

I'm just shocked a board had more posts on Bryant than us...

@DocLibby: Welcome to the family Thomas Bryant! Hoosier love is like no other! #H4L #iubb #showhimlove

@JohnBauernfeind: As of now, Bryant is ranked as the No. 27 player in his class, but is expected to move into the top 15 #iubb

I know most of my posts bash Crean... I apologize if I've annoyed some of you. With Bryant coming to IU it looks like Crean will be here for 1 yr. I will tone it down on the Crean hate from 100 to about a 10. I still want him gone, but posts from me here on out will be positive and have no mention of Crean!

Congrats to IU landing Bryant!!!!! Let's goooooo!!!!!

Recruiting is 80% of it. I THINK I could coach this team to success and I'm not a coach! Bryant is exactly what we've been missing.

They went anti-crean for a few pages in the middle and lost focus. Though I guess we did too. But they were in it deeper for longer so it makes sense.

This hasn't even set in yet for me. It's starting to. This is so huge. SO huge. If we get Thon...idk. I'll feel pretty lucky to be a student for this season regardless. This could be special.

So happy to hear this!  It makes the off season so much more enjoyable!  Go Hoosiers!

@jerrymeyer247 Said this before but beyond length talent, I love Thomas Bryant for his seriousness about & love of the game. #motor #refreshing #IUBB

Leave Crean out of this thread.

thanks for this, some people can't enjoy a great moment IU  basketball without being negative somehow.

[ebridges24 2,285]

Then you may want to start another thread. The recruiting/commitment thread is not for that.

These are CCG/Paps babies where we don't want to turn into Crean pissing matches.

well done sir

Outstanding job by Crean and staff to pull in the big fella!  I'm looking forward to seeing him emerge as a leader to push this team.  The pieces are starting to fall into place...

[Five Prime 1,076]

I am ecstatic with this commitment. Biggest get since Zeller. This team could be special. I'm finally excited for next year.

Lets see those Badgers beat UK tonight and this day will be perfect for IU basketball!

GO HOOSIERS!
