Soon after Vonleh was asked about being mentioned in conversations centered around other top freshman in the country,  Louisville's Rick Bozich wrote: http://www.wdrb.com/story/23994145/bozich-indianas-vonleh-turning-big-three-into-freshman-fab-four

^ The staff has brought in a great group of freshman.  It will be fun to see what they bring to the lights of NY.

^^  Thanks for sharing.  Watch Coach at the 1:36 in his reaction to Noah's dunk.

To the op:  :paint: :Nice Work!

Speaking of behind-the-back passes, last night Yogi got his left handed behind the back bounce pass off to Stan. In watching the highlight youtube it looks as if D Davis is considering a behind the back flip on the play where he had a chance for a "& one". Anyway from the NBA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaK0D-KVtR8

Thanks guys for the links.  I missed the first half & was able to catch most of the second.  This is much appreciated!  :fan:

Here is video of a drive early in the half: http://t.co/248umTuJ4q

Victor hit a driving layup right before halftime to tie the game @ 45 versus the Pelicans.

This is a nice article by Zak Keefer on the departure of Brad Stevens. link

Can you scratch my belly?

Good point 41. Considering the staff has Hanner in a boot for precautionary reasons, it may be that they choose to place time constraints on his work week.

Coach Crean spoke of several guys this year that are making that kind of commitment on the ESPNU show last Friday night. Many people have spoke about the importance of Hanner & Jeremy making that fr-so jump so I was happy to hear that Jeremy has been working at that level & surprised not to hear Hanner's name mentioned. Questions: 1) Does anyone know if Hanner's name could have slipped coaches mind for that moment or is it that Hanner is making good strides yet is not considered to be investing the highest level of preparation? 2) Does anyone recall some of the names mentioned in addition to Yogi, Will, Noah and Jeremy? I believe he may have mentioned Troy and Devin, but I'm not for sure on those. Thanks

Thanks cc. That was awesome.

focus on improving. Here is a nice article that includes quotes from Kenny Johnson and Will Sheehey. This article is a good summarization of the work Noah is putting in. Full Story "I just want to be great,” he said. “I just want to keep getting better and take my game to new levels.” That’s why the 6-foot-10 forward put on more than 20 pounds when he got to Bloomington and now, at 240 pounds, is challenging point guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell in sprints." “He’s like what you’d want a basketball player to look like if you were to create a player on your NBA game or whatever video game,” Sheehey said. “His motor is different. The kid plays hard. He’s patient. He doesn’t care about shots, touches, scoring, you know, and that’s what you want. A lot of guys that are as highly recruited as him would come in and think the complete opposite, and so it’s nice that he plays that hard.” It will be an absolute pleasure to see Noah play great ball this season.

Well Played!

I agree with you in that there was not as much depth in last year's team that brought forth the results that were expected by players, staff, and fans. I also know that you stay tuned in & pay much more attention to what goes down on a daily basis than I do. There has to be a fine line as to how hard these guys push each other and I trust the staff to know that line. I'm not saying you agree or disagree how hard the players go at it in practice. I want these freshman to see & participate in putting each other through such a fiercely competitive atmosphere for so much of the season that each player truly embraces all aspects of what it takes to make deep runs in both of the year ending tournaments.

I agree with you. I hope by December we have made serious strides toward consistently having strong opposition during our team practices. I would love to have video of their current practices. They are probably working each other over at a high level already:)
