I think after a shorter version of the Romeo effect he'll commit to IU. If Arch and Co. can land TJD and KB after landing Romeo I'll feel much better about indiana talent staying to play at IU. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Congrats to the ladies on their 3-0 victory in the season opener! http://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=225842

And future teammates.

Duke goes 3-0 on Canadian tour and best McGill by about 50 today. Williamson goes for 36/14/4/3 and Barrett goes for 20/10. These two were unstoppable in Canada, let’s hope stateside Indiana can slow them down a bit. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

So Happ and Edwards were named first team Americans recently I guess where in the world is the love for Morgan. Had the highest PER in the conference last for Christ’s sake. He had the 4th highest eFG% and the highest returning. Frankly Morgan objectively outplayed them both last year. Where’s the love

Great article, really interesting look on what it takes to make it in the NBA. Great example with Nigel Williams-Goss as a guy who is probably a better pure basketball than maybe 10% of the NBA, if not more, but the issue isn’t talent, it’s role. There’s no role for him on a team. The article doesn’t mention him, but Jimmer Ferdette recently talked about not making it in the NBA. Fredette is certainly an extremely talented basketball player. He’s probably better than say Yogi, but Yogi has learned/can play off the ball in an offense. Jimmer couldn’t adjust to playing off the ball, and while he’s a heck of an offensive player with the ball in his hands, you’re not handing your offense to him, so he’s not in the league. All of the guys mentioned above (Williams-Goss, Fredette, Yogi, and more) are probably way more talented than Andre Roberson. The difference is Roberson has prototypical NBA wing size and is perfectly happy playing defense and rebounding, and hardly ever shooting, so he’s a starter on a play-off team and two of the three guys mentioned above aren’t even in the league. Really interesting stuff IMO.

The fact we can absolutely dominate the game, possession and shots against an equally matched and talented Akron team is very encouraging. Looks like our D will still be strong and the only question is finding a go to scorer with Toye gone which is exactly what I saw in the spring in the 2 matches I saw (still have not seen team since). Excited for the season.

Yeah, my feeling is 5-7. But I’m always optimistic to start the season so hoping for 6-6. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Highlights of Nate's Week 2 performance:

45-17 IU

Wilson scared off a lot of talented QBs. He wasn’t a great recruiter. The assistants were the winners that he hired. I’ve heard many stories about how he would run top recruits we could have landed off. One that comes to mind is the older Lytle his little brother actually just committed to Wisky as a OLB. At some point you have to come down to earth and become a people person.

Jeff Borzello - ESPN 100 wing Jaykwon Walton has decommitted from Mississippi State, source confirms to ESPN. Had pledged to the Bulldogs on Saturday. So the check bounced?

I am backstage with Five Finger Death Punch right now. Woo hoooooo

Am I the only one who focused in on Chris’ use of the phrase ‘when we get TJD and KB....’ whether that ends up being correct or incorrect, it gave me chills... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

USPS so worked up, he even stuttered a few times

Talked to a Fort Wayne kid in the AAU scene and long time friends of the Brooks. He thinks Indiana is the likely destination as of now. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Indiana will host Marquette in the 2018 Gavitt Games, per a source. #iubb #mubb
