With a name like Freddie McSwain Jr., do you really need a nickname? This might be my favorite all time name of an IU player. Sent from my LG-D850 using BtownBanners mobile app

I feel like I'm back at the junior high lunch table with all this shoe debate. Sent from my LG-D850 using BtownBanners mobile app

Any mid major would be lucky to have him. I really like the kid and wish him the best. Sent from my LG-D850 using BtownBanners mobile app

Joined by his buddy Lebron?

Can anyone in the know tell me if he is just plan B if Troy goes or if his coming is independent of Troy's decision? I certainly have my opinion but no inside information. Sent from my LG-D850 using BtownBanners mobile app

He could probably start at Rutgers. Sent from my LG-D850 using BtownBanners mobile app

Why not? What is left to accomplish at Rutgers?

Good to know. I figured he wouldn't but what 41 wrote gave me pause to wonder. Sent from my LG-D850 using BtownBanners mobile app

Yogi, Z, and Max graduate. I don't think we ever filled Holt's scholarship. That gives us four for Green, Cujo, Davis, and Gellon.

I wonder if the McSwain recruitment, which many including me, think is a backup plan for Troy leaving, might actually be a backup plan for Morgan taking a medical redshirt. That means someone would have to go and The obvious candidate goes without saying. Of course this whole theory is based on what 41 said about a long painful recovery. If it is not bad enough to keep it out that long, this theory is a whole lot of nothing.

Where did the Pacers thread go? I can't find it. I wanted to complain about their attitude that defending the 3 was optional tonight. Sent from my LG-D850 using BtownBanners mobile app

I too guess this is a Troy contingency plan. With 4 freshman coming in I have no problem with a grad transfer or JUCO. His stats aren't overly impressive, but I didn't think Z's were either coming out of IL St. Highlight packages don't show this kind of thing, but I wonder what kind of defender he is. He looks the part of a good one, and like I said earlier, that's a great name. Sent from my LG-D850 using BtownBanners mobile app

Why? Is that when 24 hours of darkness sets in? 😄 Sent from my LG-D850 using BtownBanners mobile app

Sounds like a Purdue guy. Too bad he is leaving. Sent from my LG-D850 using BtownBanners mobile app

Another worry for me is that we are losing 3 really good to great shooters in Yogi, Z, and Max. We still have Rojo and we get JBJ back, but it still seems like we will be taking a step back shooting wise. I hate to think what our offense might look like if we can't flood the court with shooters. I am optimistic about next year, but that does concern me.

Good hire for the Toppers. Sent from my LG-D850 using BtownBanners mobile app

Basketball season is over. Bring on May.

My biggest worry is that we go back to a 3 guard lineup with JBJ, Rojo, and Newkirk. We were better when we got away from that. I like a lineup of Rojo, JBJ, TB, The OG, and Colin while running D2, Newkirk, Morgan, and any other ready freshman off the bench. Personally, I would start Newkirk over JBJ if he hasn't figured out how to play defense by November. I am assuming Troy is gone. Sent from my LG-D850 using BtownBanners mobile app

I haven't heard anyone blame the fans for a lack of success since Mike Davis. Well done.

Bravo. Well played.

About time to start that countdown to May, Hov.

I think you should change your name next season to Juwan's Hair.

It was not Pitino. It was above him.

Glad that other bastion of integrity Syracuse is going to the elite eight
