Walking Boot of Doom

2015 can only worsen the odds of Bryant going to UK.

4 reasons I believe we land Bryant: 1) Between us, Syracuse, and Mizzou, we have had the best wins, and it's not even close. We may be the only one of the three that even makes the tournament. 2) We look like a team gearing up to make a run this year, and with the right additions, be a major threat next year. Mizzou may be a few years out from capitalizing on their talent, and Syracuse, well, Syracuse may have a date with the executioner after the NCAA finishes their investigation. 3) Thomas Bryant sounds as though he is in the driver's seat with his college decision, not so much his mother any more. This benefits us, and a team not yet mentioned, UK. 4) I believe that Bryant is smart enough to realize that UK will be loaded with guys just as good and better than him taking his minutes. UK won't necessarily have a good idea of who is leaving either, and with the Thon reclassification looming, the odds of a spot opening for Bryant at UK don't look good. At IU, the chemistry of our current team, and the gaping hole in the middle should be enough to draw him in. Crean has proven that he can get guys like Bryant to the league, and I think he can win over Bryant's mother. This is my optimistic reasoning behind my prediction of Thomas Bryant to the Hoosiers.

Was just thinking that. They're all decided prior to the start of the season, correct?

I saw those as well, but I still agree with rebel. They're climbing the rankings because of their ability to dominate the A10 which is weak overall.

The only two good teams they've played, Villanova and Virginia, have blown them out of the water. I haven't watched them this year, but their results aren't that impressive.

Damn, sucks for the kid. Cheers to a speedy recovery!

I'm with Holtman then I guess. Screw the Butler Way

Kid seems to have a good head on his shoulders and a mom who just wants him to be somewhere that will build his character as well. I don't know that he'd jump at improper benefits, or that his mom would be alright with it, based on their previous quotes.

I cannot wait for this. He's gonna blow people away.

I'll put my name on the line for the Wake upset. Like what Danny Manning is doing there.

Hoosier hysteria. Was supposed to come with other Huntington prep kids but they were sick or had tests or something

Yeah his stat line still looked good. Very unpolished moves IMO

Buddy Held taking some bad shots that are pretty much ending OU's chances as winning.

OU mounting an impressive comeback. KU has been streaky all year. Other than Perry Ellis, I think we could play them tight. Alexander has been mediocre thus far this year.

Pretty ugly game by Oklahoma. Ok not a Big 12 hater, but I have trouble believing that 5 of these teams should be ranked. Iowa state is legit though.

Not all that impressed with OK so far. Alexander of KU looks like he may not be a lock to go after one year...

So Coach K should get his 1,000th win in MSG Sunday. Tickets are ridiculous. I'm definitely going to see if there are any last minute tickets for cheap, but it's not looking good. Would've been fun to go watch.

Lol you guys are funny. Keep doing your thing

Cannon goes boom!

@MikeMillerHT: 3-star safety #iufb RT @akmccarthy Reakwon Jones confirms to us that he just committed to IU. Story coming momentarily.

Buddy, you can't be serious. Dude played three years for us and broke records. If our quarterback hadn't been hurt, he would have led us back to a bowl game. Go get your money, Tev. We all appreciate what you've done.

How many beers have I had?

I don't want Thon if we can have Bryant. Bryant is clean and has no questions around his eligibility. I think we're still in the game.

I don't wanna be that guy, but can we go ahead and kill this already? IU is not France; I don't care how many similarities there are. And if we are France in this fantasy world that has been created, only one "queen" has really ruled France. Marie Antoinette ruled as queen regent and was later beheaded. So really this fantasy land should be ruled by a king, who will most likely be beheaded as France had 7 or 8 revolutions resulting in the death of some dignitary. You all can eat cake, but we just want some bread. I'm putting this thread's head in the guillotine.

@_ovojb: #HoosierNation , get ready.
