Yeah...due to still being in the injury recovery process, OG can't "test the waters" by declaring without an agent, working out at the camps, and then deciding based on feedback. So, it seems like he had an all-or-nothing-decision. __________________________________________________________________________________ Forwards for next year: TB, DeRon, Collin, Juwan, Freddie, maybe Justin Smith and/or Clifton Moore, and Timmy P. That = lots of talent and lots of options.

And... He doesn't pick silly-@$$ fights with Nigel Hayes.

You'll have to settle for an "up and Comar!" (Thank you. Please tip your waitress)

I really get the feeling that Darius Garland wants to like IU. Edit: found a Yahoo article with DG's dad telling how he's a complete, born and raised, message board quality... IU basketball fan. My fifth grader is getting about 25 ppg in rec league, and I know that if by some billion to one shot he was ever good enough, I'd hand deliver him to IU, and he be thrilled that I did. And let me assure you, if that ever happened, the BtownBanners mod board would be en fuego! We WILL get an OV here. Got to.

Damn straight.

IUBB playin' for keeps, y'all.

Yes! I know that "the former" is the intention of the thread, but it's the "unavoidable latter" that bugs me.

I can't help it anymore...I know I might be alone on this thought, but I gotta say it: I really dislike this thread. There are only two categories of players on IU: Those that we hope will come back, and Those that we wish would just go away. But, that calculation is not as easy as it seems. As CAM (correctly) says, there are only enough minutes for nine or ten players. So, that makes a guy like Tim Priller, who ostensibly has been a good soldier for three years and doesn't mind foregoing minutes, a keeper. A thread that puts IU players in good standing ranked for who should be artificially shown the door if needed? We're not talking Perea or Hollowell here. Not my cup of tea. We will trim the roster by attrition.

Just did a quick interweb search, and I can't find any evidence that either WIllis or Hawkins will get a college degree, though I suppose they might.

UK has won one title in ten years of the Calipari era, and there has been only one Cal-recruited scholly player (Poythress) that received a UK degree during that time (though I think Hawkins may get one). The team plays in an off-campus arena, and their players stay at a private lodge. They only attract high-end players who have the specific goal of staying for as short a time as possible. This year they will likely lose Fox, Monk, Willis, Abedayo, Mulder, Briscoe, Humphries, and Hawkins. That's eight of their top nine. If Gabriel goes, their top returning scorer will be Wynard, a Kyle Taber-like player who averaged 0.7 ppg last season. With a new top eight full of five star players, the polls will undoubtedly make the exact same mistake from so many other years, and rank them way, way, way too high. They will be turnover prone and weak in outside shooting when they play accomplished teams. They are a failure.

"Mom? Yeah, it's Carlton." "Whazzat? Yeah, I'm leaving Kansas." "Wha, huh? No, not to Yale, but close; ya just gotta pronounce it with a hard 'J'."

I'm confused. James and Collin were what together?

He wants to be a Hoosier. Archie very, very much wants him to be a Hoosier. We will be losing three of our current guards. Robert Phinisee? Hoosier.

No no...it's not that they haven't "found the right agent" yet. It's that they haven't even declared for the draft without an agent so that they can be evaluated.

^^^THIS^^^ Don't want to recognize this? Then you should not be a fan of the Archie hire, because Comar is what it's all about for CAM.

Does anyone else find it curious that neither OG nor TB have declared for draft analysis yet (even without an agent)? I know that the declaration deadline is not until April 23, but still... If they don't do so by about next Monday, I am going to start to be very intrigued and guardedly optimistic.

Really bad news for Purdoo. Dirty or clean, lots of recruiting all around their yard is about to uptick.

Birdman. See above.

WInner either way...decisions for Archie. But jimminy christmas...if that's the way to go then we should flat-out hire Chris Hawkins as the third assistant or the director of player development so that we can have that EG 10 all-stars/Romeo Langford connection!

It seems to me... that if Drew Adams becomes our third assistant coach, that Robert Phinisee will be that much more likely to be a Hoosier. Just sayin'.
