  Just a difference of opinion. I think your point is more than fair, though I disagree only to the extent that I think the "get them to a degree" point is the standard for continued scholly years.   Also, I'm a huge fan of Coach Knight's academic standards, but I'm pretty sure that he cut lose more than a few kids that were pretty good kids on a personal level.

I'm gonna read into the Yogi comment a little.    Last year, Yogi was our leading scorer out of necessity.  This year, even in an open gym, he's gonna have a whole lotta assists.

Did you used to post up Danny Moore in practice?

Do you speak with any CURRENT IU players, and if so, what is their mindset going into next season?

  I think we ALL can agree that 41 is #1!

  Great post Hwy.   Moreover, if Seth Cooper leaves, he leaves after four years as Asst S&C Coach. Not exactly indicative of a guy who came in, sensed disaster, and ran for the hills. If JeNey Jackson left for Butler? That would be troubling. This? Doesn't feel like that at all.

    You sir, are a meanie-name-calling-meanie.   Oh, and before you answer this post with an insulting retort, let me add: I'm rubber and you're glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you!   So there.   ;)

The Assistant Strength and Conditioning coach. I am not seeing the gravity nor import of this, even if/when it comes true.

Methinks the mods made a (wise) decision to end that thread before it continued farther down its nasty path.

  At least a few inches taller than Jordy.   I'm seeing Matt Roth, maybe Ryan Smith from Purdue.

  "Does nothing wrong" is in the eye of the beholder. See: Capobianco, Bobby. Good student, nice kid, reportedly put no extra effort toward basketball development. Was allegedly encouraged to seek more playing time elsewhere. Where does he fit?   Stays on scholly 'til he leaves? Matt Roth got four years on scholly, got his undergrad and masters degree, and wanted a fifth year on scholly. Should IUbball be required to give him the fifth year?

  I'm with Dunn Woods on this one:   Golden Child is TJ: As a player, as a good kid, he's as golden as it gets.   Advocated for a child predator: That would be UCLA Coach Steve Alford, who used horrendous decision making at Iowa when he went far beyond the pale to try to save the sorry ass of then Iowa hoopster, now-convicted sexual predator Pierre Pierce, solely because Pierce was a good basketball player. Not a pretty chapter for Alford.

    That's EXACTLY my point.   I expect IU to honor scholarships for good kids through when they get a college degree, regardless of whether they get injured or not. After three/four years AND a degree, whether the player stays becomes solely a basketball decision.    This is exactly how it played out with Mo Creek and Matt Roth. Exactly. ________________________________________________________________________________________   Now, it is more than fair to say that the basketball decision to not keep Matt and Mo around for one more extra year was misguided; Matt could have helped against that Syracuse zone, and Mo likely would have helped last year's outside shooting significantly.

  Yowza

  Mo was on scholarship for four years and got his degree. Had a new baby that was in DC, and in theory wanted to move back home to be near family.   FWIW, even though schollys are renewable annually, I happen to be a proponent of keeping good kids on scholly until they get a degree.   After four years and a degree paid for by the taxpayers of the State of Indiana, if a basketball decision is made to not extend the scholly for a fifth year, I'm ok with that. That goes for Mo Creek and Matt Roth too.   Do you agree?

Welcome - Thanks for the excellent info!   Looking forward to more updates if you have a Carmel connection to keep us in the know.

CTC gets a bad rap for "Creaning". "Creaning" is for guys that are ready and able, but not willing.   Peter Jurkin is willing, but not able. Even with his unfortunate injury situation, he is an asset to his teammates and to the program. 

          That's the spirit!! (part II) ;)

It has been seriously, seriously quiet regarding Eron Harris.    Is there a school year proscribed delay in his search for a new school? If so, when does the moratorium lift?

    MJ may not know what he's doing... but if the 2013 NBA rookie class was redrafted today, the draft order would likely be:   1) Oladipo, IU; 2) Carter-Williams, Syr; 3) Burke, UM; 4) Zeller, IU.   Just sayin'.

  Beyond the melodrama of "I've abandoned all hope" type comments, any indicator that it's less likely that Ryan Anderson visits is not good, especially with an Arizona visit in the mix.   However (and it's a big "however) if he visits Az and then makes it to Bloomington for his final visit, I like our chances a bit more than ever before.

  That's the spirit!  ;)

    Ryan Anderson!!!   We need a big down the road. I know he's a '15, but he's a really good one.   (PS: Eron Harris would be great too)

He is.
