2018 All B1G Defensive First Team, Zach McRoberts would like to say 'hello'

vs. Illinois 70% W: 74-68 @ Iowa 46% L: 77-76 @ Nebraska 31% L: 71-66 vs. Ohio St. 35% L: 70-65 Expected 2-2 record in those games, landing us at 9-9 in conference (6th-7th place) & 16-14 Overall

Soooo maybe one more spot? Jamar Johnson CB Jonathan King WDE Nick Linder OL (Transfer)

In my mind it comes down to your expectations for the player. If you need Durham to be in the rotation playing 15+/night, he's probably going to struggle more often than not. If on the other hand he's the 10th, 11th man on the bench who gets minutes periodically and brings energy + defense, that's a great spot for him early in his career. The dearth of talent on this team will be corrected over the next two years, and guys like Durham, Green and Moore can slide into positions that are conducive to their development & progression.

Hows the crowd?

I could see all three earning starter's minutes, however I am not sure all three start at the beginning of the year.

Rogers has officials set for Nebraska this weekend and Vandy next, with no additional trips planned. I think the staff has a good feeling about King, fingers crossed.

Watching Purdue vs. Minney, probably goes w/o saying...but Purdue is going to be a tall order even in SSAH.

I believe someone mentioned there might be concerns over grades w/Brewer

King would be huge pick up, he would help ease the lose of Charlton-

Similar to the other projections, I would go with... Starting Phinisee FRLangford FR/Grad TransferSmith SOMorgan SRDavis JR/Grad Transfer Rotation Durham SOMcRoberts RS SRHunter FRAnderson FRThompson RS FR TBD Green JR (I struggle to see Green fitting in with CAM's style of play longterm) Moore SO (Based off what we have seen so far, I really have no idea where to put him????) Forrester FR (I wouldn't be opposed to Jake RS next year; year of strength training and acclimating to this level)

How do you think the O-Line will shake out for spring ball? Spitballing... LT-Cronk LG-Martin C-Linder RG- Littlejohn/Stepaniak RT-Knight

Is this the airing of grievances?

And Curtis Jones has a new home, Oklahoma St recruited him heavily out of high school. Jeff Goodman‏Verified account @GoodmanESPN FollowFollow @GoodmanESPN More Indiana transfer Curtis Jones told ESPN he will play at Oklahoma State. Nice pickup for Mike Boynton.

Watched the first half of the game this afternoon, and I was left wondering... is there a more punchable team in the country then Duke? Bagley, Grayson, and the crew are extremely unlikable.

Seeing a lot of new names pop up that could be IU targets (?) over the last couple of days... 3* WDE Jonathan King from Tampa Bay Tech (same program as Penix) decommitted from Oregon today, holds an IU offer. https://247sports.com/Player/Jonathan-King-90427 SDE Casey Rogers from Old Farm, CT was offered on the 26th...really interesting OV list (Alabama & OSU-both w/o offers) and Power 5 offers- Nebraska, Vandy, Cal, Rutger, etc. https://247sports.com/player/casey-rogers-46047416 Really like the Roof transfer as well, I believe his father was the Defense Coordinator at Georgia Tech and moved to NC State earlier in the week...never hurts to have a coach's kid on the sidelines!

With Morgan, Davis, Smith, Thompson, and Moore/Forrester I feel somewhat comfortable with the front court, the back court has me absolutely terrified...hoping for a grad transfer or two

I wouldn't be surprised to see Race (6'8" 220 lbs.) pickup Freddie's minutes next year.

Anyone have a feel for what the staff is still looking for in the closing days of the early signing period? Reading the tea leaves I am guessing a QB, DB, and OL at a minimum.

This. Over the past few games CAM has stayed with an 8-man rotation for the most part (scraps for the 9th and 10th men off the bench), as we think to next year you have Durham, Green, McRoberts, Morgan, and Davis as rotation fixtures with Smith, Moore and the Frosh fighting for the final three rotation spots. I could see a situation where we take 1-2 (depending on RL) Grad Transfers for '18 for added experience and ball handling depending on CAM's expectations for the Frosh and the development of Smith & Moore.

We picked up a few crystal ball picks over the last 24 hours and I believe he is on campus today (12/9) as well. It goes without saying, but he would be a huge pickup for the class!

With Natee transfering I believe we are at two since the end of the season. -Zeke Walker (LB) -Tyler Natee (RB) Are we tracking anyone else?

Game hasn't started yet, give BTN2Go time

Given the direction the NBA is headed (versatility & shooting vs. true bigs), I would pencil in Morgan ahead of Davis.
