I'd sell on Maryland's chances.
On the other hand, Ohio State is returning their top six scorers, and there's some serious talent among those six guys. Expect them to be back in the top five (or so) of the league.
Need to have realistic expectations with him.
The talent is most assuredly there, but he's got a long, long way to go before he is a "B1G caliber decision-maker" at point guard.
Indiana will be playing North Carolina in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge this season, and one of Indiana's standout players is excited.
Indiana sophomore forward Thomas Bryant posted a screenshot of an ESPN alert on his Instagram account Tuesday, merely putting the caption "Thank you...." on the picture.
Good God. I hope that article was not written by Indiana University student or graduate. While I wouldn't think it proper to critique grammar and punctuation on a message board, something like this is published, and should be written at least at a high school level.
Great post, and I see the dynamic also. I also think I know why it happens. It seems like coach has a real need to want to make something out of nothing. Sometimes it's because of a challenging personality that he wants to transform, and sometimes it's an undervalued athlete that he wants to try to turn into a superstar. Coach gets a real charge out of this facet of his job.
I think he learned his lesson with the challenging personalities, because he seems to be truly shying away from them after being burned one too many times.
Which makes sense:
With 13 scholarship players, the last two or three guys on the bench are barely getting any run, unless guys like TB and RoJo are only going to average playing 20 mpg...which they're not.
A little parable for you, X-Hoosier:
When I was in my late 20's I had a buddy who was a very good golfer. Carded scores in the mid-upper 70's on serious courses on a regular basis. He decided to enter an amateur tourney where Every. Shot. Counted. No mulligans, no gimmee putts, No friendly drops from the trees.
Carded two consecutive days of about 100.
Moral of the story? You remember the hot streaks when you hit a bunch of 20 footers? Sure....but that's not reality, young man.
Betcha he gets drafted and makes a roster. Yogi is the perfect mature kid, low salary player for an NBA team to carry on the end of the bench.
Proud of @YogiFerrell11 and his performance at the Suns workout yesterday. Went 70/100 from NBA 3. #iubb #nba
