Walking Boot of Doom

I literally have not seen a recruit you don’t firmly believe comes to Indiana. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Shut it down, this one is over. On to the next. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I’d take the Kansas roster over Duke. Coaching is the other half though. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Can’t recruit without a premier top of the jock strap storage facility. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

That's great news, @RBB89! Thanks for sharing. Glad we're going all out on it.

I think those people are wrong. I don't want Indiana to recruit like UK. I'd much rather recruit exactly like Villanova.

So is this class just stacked or is this normal? I don’t look at the rankings as much as I used to a few years back. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Hate that I cared enough to go look it up. Looks nice and clean. I imagine ours end up looking more like this than Kentucky. End of the day, locker rooms aren’t the game changer for us, but it will be nice to have upgraded facilities. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

F*** UK We don’t “need” to do anything that Kentucky is doing. Glad locker rooms are being renovated, but Indiana can and will do it whichever damn way they please. I wonder what Villanova’s locker rooms look like? I’d rather hope Indiana tries to be like them. More championships than cheating Cal. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yessir! That’s why RoJo did it last year. There might be some limitations Im too lazy to look up, but it’s a free NBA readiness evaluation at the end of the day. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Declaring for the draft is literally no cost to the player - only benefit. Honestly surprised if players don’t announce for the draft. Enviado desde mi iPhone utilizando BtownBanners

He’s a four star ranked outside of the top 100? Is that how it’s always been? I thought right around 100 is where it sorta cut over to 3 Star. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

It’s impressive... but how impressive? How many of those Big 12 teams were title threats? The good years at ISU we watched them always get bounced early. Kansas State has been pretty consistently solid. Texas had a couple years. Oklahoma with Blake Griffin and Buddy Hield. After watching him exit early from the tournament enough times, I’m just not impressed given the absurd amount of talent he’s had and the kind of teams he’s assembled. Player development has been hit or miss in my mind. Look at how many of his 5 stars lately sort of failed to live up to the hype. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Al has a pinned tweet from April 6th, 2017 that says "I'm Staying Home" Feel like that would've come down by now.

I stand by my opinion that the B1G was exceptionally weak this year, but I really think Michigan has really turned it on since the BTT.

So this sort of throws the Tim/Sabrina Langford wants Indiana argument out the window: "My three didn't make it," Tim said. "My wife's three didn't make it. Romeo's three made it. So we made sure it's going to be his decision. And the three schools that he has are three great universities, any way you want to put it." Sounds like we're in it solely due to Romeo's own interest.

Only said 1% because nothing is ever certain, but yeah, I don’t see that ever happening. Enviado desde mi iPhone utilizando BtownBanners

I will put a 1% chance that Stevens ever ends up coaching college basketball again. Danny Ainge takes care of his people, and Stevens has an amazing thing going in Boston with his best college player returning and in his prime. If you think Stevens “misses” college ball, you’re not watching enough NBA. Enviado desde mi iPhone utilizando BtownBanners

Returning everyone would debatably be better than adding any one else outside of our current recruiting class. Continuity and player development is how Indiana is going to win if we aren’t going to pay for recruits. Enviado desde mi iPhone utilizando BtownBanners

I think you seriously don’t understand how their rating system works, and why it’s pretty smart, especially for the football recruiting class rankings. It’s really hard to compare talent of a class of 20 versus a class of 10 if you don’t normalize the data. Same with basketball. 247 isn’t some blog started by 20 something’s either. Im not even trying to defend them - just trying to prevent ignorance. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
