    (2017) SF Justin Smith to IU

    Agreed on Durham. If he exploded this summer I would be more than okay with it. His stats weren't that impressive and with the others guards we currently have, I just don't think it's a good get right now.

    (2017) SF Justin Smith to IU

    Solid get if he comes here. Forgive me, but really wish this was our first commit. Just don't see the fit/need with Durham. If this hurts our chances with Wilkes though, gotta question it a little bit
  3. I sometimes wonder if taking basketball recruits to the football games is a good idea. Doesn't exactly set a good precedent in regards to fans
  4. Okay, time for Lagow to sit. Terrible decision making
  5. I like Lagow, but he is not that accurate

    Collin Hartman Injury

    Reading around a bit, looks like it may be a season ender or most of it anyway
  7. Really hope Camion can play today. Excited to see his skill set
  8. Chuck has been tweeting quite a few things this morning. Seems like a good sign to me although I'm probably just reading into things lol. I just really want some good news
  9. If we don't get Wilkes this class is a major, major letdown. Pretty much takes us out of any contention next year if the players we expect to leave actually go.
  10. Mediocre recruiting for 2017 continues. Coming off of a BIG championship. Cool
  11. And that is your right. I want IU to be on the national scene every year and winning national championships. I'm not saying we need a full team of one and dones who don't go to class, and that is really only the case of UK. We can take a page from the Duke, Kansas, and Arizona model, where they get a 1nD or 2 every year sprinkled in with top 50 recruits. It's doable for IU imo. We have all the resources and one of best, if not the best, fanbases in the country.
  12. People love to complain about the Duke, Kansas, and UK types. The reality is they win and recruit at the highest level. They have their own brand and kids grow up dreaming to play for them, which isn't the case for IU right now. I would love to have their results (less so UK because they are the one school that is almost solely one and dones) and everyone else here would be ecstatic if we brought in the recruits they do. So yes, I would love to be in their shoes.
  13. This exactly. We shouldn't have to go after players such as Moore.
  14. Sounds like our next commit. Count me in the crowd that isn't a fan of this.

    2016-2017 Indiana Basketball

    Our boy Thomas got a Twitter. If any of you guys have one, go follow him: nolimittb31

    Future Opponents

    The reality is, we're a basketball school where students just don't really care that much about football. We'll need to win more consistently for attendance to ever change. Beating an MSU, OSU, or UM could do wonders for us attendance wise, but until that happens and we go to bowls regularly I don't think you'll see much of a change with students.
  17. Exactly. If we get say, a Richards or Gak, sure take a player like him. But if we can't get another big I don't see the need
  18. Very true. But I don't want our backup 5 thinking he's a wing player on offense either. We need someone besides DD in the post
  19. I'm sorry but for me personally, if he's not a post player I'd say no thanks. We have enough guards and wings as it is. If Thomas leaves we'll have 1 big on the roster.
  20. Same, just assumed with the official visit schedule and no mention of UK recently. Hopefully he knows UK sees him as a backup option while he is IU's numero uno
  21. I just don't understand why we can't hold off on offering a kid like this until our targets that we've invested years in decide. Makes zero sense
  22. Lol of course UK is sweeping in whenever. God I hate them
