CG. To me thats why that Markus Howard visit is so important. Given he reclasses that is

I can respect that. I didn't say anything about his stats though, I more made comments on his skill set. I have concerns about his skill set and how it projects to the next level. I have concerns about his development trajectory. I have concerns about his defense. I have concerns about what happens if he doesn't make it at IU and how that affects Creans relationships with a rather fickle group of in state coaches. You don't share those concerns and that's fine. Reasonable minds can disagree.

Old Friend, I know you really like this signing and I really hope it works out. But let's be honest about things...defenses aren't "almost solely" focusing on taking him away. They're denying ball from what I've heard. One guy, denying ball. No one is adjusting zones his way. He can't create his own shot. He can't get himself open off the ball. It takes a team playing a zone or playing him straight up m2m for him to get his 3's.    Now, I will agree he could possibly have a role. I'm just not sure he is quite the shooter Matt Roth was. And my main questions lie on the other end of the floor. But I'll give you that if he has talent around him where defenses need to focus elsewhere and he can sit at the three point line getting open shot, he will hit them.   I've really been trying to keep my mouth shut here.

Could be a million things. Recruitments are never that simple, in my experience.   Also, IU went hard for Yante. The staff were in a bit of a rut from a recruiting standpoint but were VERY close from what i was told. So much so that Michigan State (who was also coming after him hard) feared he'd commit on the visit and called him to offer while he was in Bloomington. Asking him to, at least, hold off and consider things, don't make an emotional decision etc...

He knew, man. We're talking about a guy who makes his assistant coaches weigh in every morning and reports back. Let's be real, no one is going behind his back in things with that culture. He's been in the business way too long to just think, obliviously, "man, these visits are going exceptionally well!"

I'll be there haggling that most pretentious fan base. It's come to be something I really look forward to.

Don't think so. Blame 41!

Spillin beans in chat!     Shamelessly plugging chat...

CHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark Snyder @Mark__Snyder Beilein hasn't thought twice about max Bielfeldt leaving for Indiana

Alex Bozich @insidethehall Looks like Michigan opened as a 3-point favorite over Indiana. KenPom also has it as 3 and Sagarin favors the Wolverines by 2. #iubb

No worries. Something tells me it will get back on topic 

He's right

Think he's been to IU 6 or 7 times

Great breakdown.

Gracias ccg. Will update

About to get rowwwddyy

I can't remember being absolutely sure about a single thing in my life. I guess things have gone unexpectedly well, and unexpectedly poor at times.  

I feel like I know the argument against oversigning, but someone give it to me.

Alex McCarthy @akmccarthy I've also confirmed with multiple people that Florida safety Brandon Drayton has committed to IU

Yeah, the clear lack of defensive adjustments was a bit maddening. Throw in Troy Williams playing basketball like a maniac, and just a little home cookin' and you have a recipe for one of the more frustrating games in a long while.
