  1. In terms of '15 bigs, IU is probably most in the mix with Moore and Illikainen from what I can see.

    IU vs MSU Post Game.........

    Agreed, but in the past we have had weapons on the perimeter who were spaced properly. Without them, we literally have players putting their heads down and driving to the rim leading to one of the options listed above.

    IU vs MSU Post Game.........

    The offense is most concerning to me...    More often than not, it is one guy with the ball and the other four standing and staring at the ball handler. The ball finds movement and when you do not move, you're left with what we see most times we are in a half court set; a 1on1 drive as the shot clock winds close to 10 secs resulting in a turnover, charge, an occasional bucket or 2 shots for us. We draw a lot of fouls because of this type of offense, but give up just as many points on those turnovers. We get some buckets doing this, but it is not at a high enough percentage to win a game against a quality opponent. Call it attacking the basket, or whatever you want to dress it up as but we do not have the personnel, spacing, or experience to do this on a consistent basis and expect positive results. These guys are young, I get that, but they know how to move on offense to one extent or the other, they just aren't.   I think that boils down to Crean. An offense with limited movement, screening, and spacing is a recipe for disaster. Those are absolute fundamentals, and what we're seeing is an offense that lacks all three. I get that Crean's system is not based on working the ball inside out, but the ball hardly enters the post by way of a pass.  Noah had 4 shots today and got to the line once.   Michigan State played a great game and has a much better team than us this year, no doubt, but I think it's a bit scary going forward from here. I've always supported Crean ( as some know I follow recruiting pretty closely and he has done pretty well in that department) and will continue to, but serious adjustments need to be made to the offense, imo.

    (2016) PF T.J. Leaf to UCLA

    TJ has said a few times he is a long way from a decision. I really believe this is going to be a tough recruitment, whereas it seemed like we were the perfect fit early on. Arizona offered 12/28 and UCLA is as strong as anyone here it appears. I do imagine we will here some very positive feedback after his visit Saturday.

    Luke Fischer leaving IU

    SIAP...     Luke Fischer ‏@Bigfishy4412h Out of respect for coach Crean and Indiana university I will not be considering any big 10 schools during this process     Contrary to what I was hearing, looks like it will not be Wisconsin. I believe a new thread was started with this but thought it was appropriate here, as well.

    Heard from two people all signs indicate Wisconsin will be where he goes, as some have speculated.

    Luke Fischer leaving IU

    Our thin frontline just got a whole lot thinner. We're not in a great position for any '14, '15 bigs as far as I can see either. This hurts big time, imo.

St. Louis (Ill.) tonight at the #SchnucksClassic Tip at 9:30pm CT pic.twitter.com/SR7mg2Ta2o   We watched him in Indy this week and he may have taken a visit that flew a bit under the radar. Just a name to watch out for going forward
