Wouldn't we kind of have the same problem next season? Yogi will be a junior but troy, Stan, devin, and possibly noah will be sophomores with RJO and JB2 and Max coming in as freshman with JB2 and RJO probably getting good minutes. Still going to be young BUT I'm hoping this major experience for these freshman will make them play as juniors and seniors with a very experienced bench.

Always been a supporter of Jeremy and he played great against Minnesota. Wish he would have gotten more minutes in the second half. Hope he keeps it up because he is another scorer that we need.

A young man that matures on a personal level and works toward his college degree. A young (and he is [i]very[/i] young) man who does not spend over 100 nights a year in out-of-town hotel rooms. A young man who can hang out with other teenagers, not a bunch of 25-35 year olds who have the kind of problems that he can only imagine, and is not required to be placed in the middle of. ____________________________________________________________________________ [size=4][font=arial]From the aforementioned DraftExpress, on April 12, 2012: "Indiana’s center Cody Zeller is considered a lock lottery pick — [url="http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Cody-Zeller-6241/"]DraftExpress[/url] has him there — but [url="http://www.iuhoosiers.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/041012aab.html"]he released a statement through the university[/url] Tuesday that he is staying for his sophomore year in college."[/font][/size] [font=arial]And the response, from Cody Zeller: "I grew up hoping that one day I would get the opportunity to play in the NBA, but at this point, I'm not ready for my college experience to be over," said Zeller.

[quote name="djsalway" post="36977" timestamp="1392090148"]Who'd you get?[/quote] I forget atm I'm in a my career game gonna finish it real quick just saw your PM from earlier sorry bout that

[quote name="Stuhoo" post="36987" timestamp="1392091383"]All kidding aside, Hammons is playing at a much higher energy level this year. He'll be on an NBA roster some day in my opinion. He's still inconsistent, but you can be sure he'll be fired up for the IU game.[/quote] One of these 2 is gonna get the other in foul trouble

[quote name="Stuhoo" post="36985" timestamp="1392091141"]And I'll betcha that this IU team's offense, specifically as it applies to Noah Vonleh, gets inverted this weekend when the Hoosiers travel to West Layflat to take on the Boilers: Purdue quite literally does not play zone defense. Ever. AJ Hammons better be ready to guard that three. AJ Hammons is gonna have a tough time protecting the rim from Yogi and Stan while he's out guarding that Vonleh three ball.[/quote] Hammons is prolly too lazy to leave the paint and guard it

[quote name="All_Hoosiers" post="36978" timestamp="1392090196"]Noah has made just five less 3s than Will Sheehey, while attempting 42 less. I am more than fine with him shooting more and getting the ball more on the perimeter. I hope most agree. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app[/quote] I just don't want him going Marco Killingsworth 3 crazy lol

Dude this is gonna be the shiz. I got this game at 7 and Duke UNC at 9

[quote name="djsalway" post="36864" timestamp="1392065427"]Yes, but only in packs.[/quote] Dude I got like the worst pack of players ever imaginable

[quote name="LockdownD" post="36963" timestamp="1392089317"]IU women's Water Polo is ranked 13th this week.[/quote] Haha I had Spanish with one of the players she was pretty cool

[quote name="Hovadipo" post="36962" timestamp="1392089129"]I'm with Olivia. We're in the heart of B1G season here. Come on. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners[/quote] Ya we aren't dead until the selection committee tells us to go home. Not worried about next year at the moment.

[quote name="JSHoosier" post="36955" timestamp="1392088229"]"Let him create". That is something I utterly despise about Crean's so called "offense". It's entirely dependent on a player creating his own shot. I'm sick of it. Instead of pulling the big man away from the basket for more one on one street ball, run a play to get someone like Etherington, who was supposed to be able to shoot, open. If he misses, our best rebounder is where he should be.[/quote] It may just be me but I think I've verb noticing etheringtons minutes diminish again?

[quote name="djsalway" post="36850" timestamp="1392062715"]I'm in class right now. Can't wait to go back and play it... I'm so addicted.[/quote] Can you still get like different uniforms and stuff? I'm a sucker for badass looking uniforms lol.

Not at 14-9

[quote name="Stuhoo" post="36851" timestamp="1392063058"]I understand why you feel that way (based on the results of or games against them this year), but I strongly disagree. NW has played well at times including when they were at Assembly Hall, but they are not nearly as good a team as Michigan.[/quote] I'm also basing it off of styles of play. I like our chances more against UM because we can get out and run. We won't be able to do that against NW and that scares me especially on the road even with a pro IU crowd. Even last years team sort of struggled at NW because they brought it to a half court game. You may be right though and I hope we can win in Evanston.

[quote name="djsalway" post="36846" timestamp="1392062068"]This year it's a lot better because there is a specific MyTeam currency and not just VC. You'll get hooked again, but I don't think you'll get to the point where you spend real money. There also isn't a player market anymore. Just packs, where you use your MyTeam currency to buy them. There is a game mode in MyTeam called Domination where you play every team in the NBA and if you beat the team you get a silver player from that team (I'm going through this part of the mode right now and it's making my team so much better)[/quote] Man that sounds insane looks like I'm gonna have to give it a shot when I get out of class.

[quote name="Stuhoo" post="36847" timestamp="1392062206"]We will win the next two and then pull of a road win while holding home court. Besides, NW has always been a semi-home game with all of the cream and crimson that attend. ----------------------- I think it's gonna be tougher to win at NW considering what they did to us at AH than it will be to win at Michigan.

[quote name="djsalway" post="36844" timestamp="1392061651"]I've actually considered playing with them lately but just haven't been able to get away from the Suns because I'm hooked on them right now haha. Lately I've also been hooked on MyTeam also (it's by far my favorite online "game mode")[/quote] Man my team mode is insanely addicting. I was so into last years my team that I eventually spent real money just to buy players lol. Haven't played this years though just for that reason.

[quote name="djsalway" post="36842" timestamp="1392061296"]Well I'm a Cavs fan, but I hate what the owner and GM have done with the team, so I've tried to stay away from them. I really like to play with the Bobcats or the Suns.[/quote] I like the suns they have a good squad on there. I usually play with the Knicks not to cheese with melo but I love playing with Iman Shumpert he's one of my favorite players on the game.

[quote name="djsalway" post="36839" timestamp="1392060775"]I'm a PS4 type of guy 2k14 all the time. You guys that play 2k and have PS4s, hit me up with your usernames and we can play sometime.[/quote] No doubt man I'm playin 2k online all the time would def play sometime who do you like to play with

[quote name="luburch" post="36829" timestamp="1392056650"]Just really depends. I'm a diehard Arsenal fan so usually them. I like to mix it up though. If I had to win one game for money, I'd use Bayern Munich.[/quote] I love playing with arsenal they are so fast. I usually switch it up between arsenal and borussia Dortmund

[quote name="Hovadipo" post="36819" timestamp="1392054422"]Huge FIFA guy. I play a lot of 2K, too. I just recently moved from 360 to PS4, though. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners[/quote] Same sold my games and 360 for the ps4 fell in love with 2k on it

Really cool perspective to see from the eyes of yogis mother. Thanks for posting this.

That is a badass ride

Just don't think it's fair to coach to even bring up possible replacement names already. I know that they are just what ifs but idk.
