  1. At the Huber event, Newkirk told someone he was the starting PG. Interesting if true.
  2. If the SEC wants to increase its popularity, they should focus on improving the quality of their programs, not some gimmicky preseason tournament.
  3. The minutes didn't even add up to 200 [emoji23]
  4. And what's the difference between all of the players you listed and Freddie? Freddie is a transfer with playing experience. So far, Crean's transfer have been expected to contribute day one.
  5. Not disagreeing with your assessment of McSwain's ability or that JuCo to D1 isn't a big jump, but I really don't think Crean would have used a scholarship on a guy he didn't plan to use right away
  6. Going to put this out there, but I'm betting on McSwain playing close to 8 mpg from the start of the season. I don't think Crean would have brought him in with only two years remaining to not put him on the floor.
  7. I'll say this, I think Troy is a huge asset to the team. I'm also not exactly upset to see him go. Especially with a degree. I think we have the right pieces to step up and fill his void.
  8. First time in a while we won't have a freshman starting. Combo of both our recruiting class not having a McDAA and that our roster is full of veteran talent.
  9. Yup, Troy owes it to everyone to meet your standards when making his own life choices. You're making assumptions you can't possibly support. Do you know what NBA coaches may have said to him in private?
  10. This wasn't tweeted by Bozich. Tweeted by the janitorinthegym to inside the hall
  11. You have 10 days after the combine finishes to pull your name out of the draft, and this is the first year with the rule change so it can't be a trend. I don't get why you are annoyed that kids are allowed to make more informed decisions about their futures.
  12. Vic is going to thrive as a defensive asset under Vogel. Huge for his career.
  13. 2015 NCAA average 3PT% was also 35%
  14. 35% is right around the NBA league average. He's a respectable 3PT shooter
  15. DING DING DING DING Can't hit 75% of your threes over two days on luck alone. People really have not given Troy enough credit for his improved shooting. Freshman Troy had an awful shot, but he's put in the work and has actually developed a respectable perimeter shot.
  16. Other trends: Takes care of the ball Gets to the line Going to assume that he's taking a lot of contested shots at the rim, and needs to bulk up to be able to play through contact and finish the play. Doesn't sound like he's much of a shooter. It'll be nice to have someone consistently driving to the rim.
  17. If you get housing plus a per diem on top of your $13 - 25k contract, that's really not terrible considering housing is usually around 1/3 of an individual's after-tax expenses. Plus, per diems are not taxed, and more than cover a daily food expenditure. If they get to pocket per diem, like some consultants, that's another few thousand a year.
  18. I don't think Rothstein was "doubting" Newkirk. Someone had asked about IU being the B1G favorites, and he mentioned losing Yogi is a huge blow, and Newkirk isn't going to simply fill the void.
  19. Unlike most things on this site, the mute button works just fine :) it's be wonderful
  20. His team had the most atrocious +/- of all time
  21. Web-based site keeps logging me out and is not recognizing my password on the initial sign-in screen.
  22. Hopefully someone let's him know the final day to remove your name from the draft is May 25th and not May 27th lol
