MSU will be good, Davis and likely Swanigan. Dawson and Trice leave though. Maryland will be good. I'd have to think Iowa State will be top 10. If we don't land Thon, I see us being around 16. If we do, I see us bein around 7 or 8.

Let's go Cubbies!!!

They changed it.

For both sports.

True, but I think someone more like DD

Alaska's been saying it all along....

or Braxton Blackwell if that's not to much to ask. Chuck is a beast.

CCG, not trying to point you out, we all thought this at once and it looked like he was going to Cuse early. But with all the luck that we've gotten, this one feels great!!!!

Thon's up next!!!

An unfamiliar sight will be on campus, a big man.

Thank you Lord Jesus!

YES!!!!!!!!!

So many times a dribbler would come into the lane and think he has a wide open layup but Hanner would come in and send it away. I think if he played the 4 where he could roam the paint, our defense would be a whole lot better, especially with TB right there to back him up.

Crean should pick a certain style of offense and defense. Then go to the Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin all star games and recruit kids straight from there. Kids who don't smoke in the offseason and have a work ethic similar to Vic's. Kids who he sees potential in and who he can develop. Kids who fit HIS style of play, Indiana's style of play. He shouldn't wait til the top freshman lists come out and recruit those kids and fail. He's like a Calipari only a much worse version. Calipari is a good basketball coach, he's a great recruiter and can turn good players into great players. (Willie Cauley Stein). Crean could never develop a raw 7 footer (Peter Jurkin and Jeremiah April.) We need a coach who can take after Beilein, Izzo, and Ryan, a coach who gets players to want to come to IU to play in a certain style of play. I also want to see a team that is ready to face a 2-3 zone, or a team that can make mid game adjustments, or a coach who can develop a player. We need a coach who gets good kids and turns them into great kids, on the court and off.

He said after the National Tournament. Will he wait to see what happens to all the Kentucky performers?

TB and Co should be a nightmare for PUke next year assuming the pieces fall into play.

They'd be even more interesting if Mickey and Stokes stayed. They could be pretty dangerous with that team.

He doesn't have to be amazing offensively or even close to Zeller. Hopefully we'll have the same starting guards and wings who produced a vast majority of our points. Our problem is obviously defense and our problem with defense is we don't have a post presence. He will immediately fill a hole and play up to his strengths. He will provide a spark on the defensive side of the ball, and really make us a better defensive team. Edit: should've said would instead of will

I wouldn't be expecting Thon either because if he doesn't which likely will happen, we'd all be disappointed.

Any articles about him talking to any Hoosiers?

You're right, I was watching Thomas' earlier and it looked like anytime anyone wanted to come in the paint he sent them back, but watching his game today makes him look actually mortal. He's got 13 pts 5 Rebs and Is 2 for 2 from behind the arc. Haven't seen a block yet.

Gosh, in his mixtape it looks like he can score whenever he touches the ball/wants to.

I'd like to see Bryant come in wearing a Syracuse shirt. Then take it off and replace it with a, "The Movement" IU tshirt. Then Thon comes in and says, "Thomas, if you goin to IU, I am too."
