While I love the post, a HUGE factor not being taken into consideration is experience. Both Villanova and UNC had major contributing Juniors/Seniors. Most of our guys will be freshmen. Give it a couple years with that core sticking and we would be major factors. It also really hinges on getting a star like Romeo. We need playmakers

None. I wish IU would cut ties with this clown. Changes his stance more than the weather.

Not a fan of the crystal ball but we got another pick last night from an OSU insider. With our recruiting gurus + the crystal ball it definitely seems like he's ours, just a matter of when.

I think it's safe to say we really want a big this class. I like this kid and seems like his game has a ton of room to grow. Would be a welcomed addition.

Best player available

I think this is perfectly reasonable and about what I expect as well.

I think a huge difference will be understanding what their coach wants from them instead of making things needlessly complicated and philosophical. And defensive drills. Can't forget those!

I'm guessing he'll get some rest first because the article states he was having knee pain. Probably going to heal up and then let Priller own him in practice :)

Race will be in Bloomington Tuesday night according to Bozich.

You can probably throw whatever PG we get into the mix (guessing Phinisee), but overall I agree.

Co-sign. I've always thought it would look sharp on our jerseys. Missed opportunity so far.

While I agree, it would never happen. Too many guys at the same position

Oh god not this again..

I like your take much better than mine :)

Yeah, I've thought this recruitment would be difficult from the start. Izzo has had a full 2 year head start on recruiting Brooks. I wouldn't be so worried if it was anyone in the BIG but him. it doesn't help that he's about to watch MSU win the BIG and have a great year while we most likely just make the tourney.

Anyone know when Race is supposed to be on campus? I'm not sure we ever got a date

Still here. There's really not much to talk about right now. Pretty significant dead period for bball when football is starting this month and not many recruits are making their decisions anytime soon except for Phinisee.

Excited for the Damezi vs Jerome game. Romeo and Keion as well. Really solid field

For every Swanigan there are 5 Beejay Anya's.

He needs to be consistently solid. He doesn't have to be great, but as long as he's doing his job I think we have enough talent to be a tourney team. We cant have anymore of those absent minded turnovers in adundance like last year. PG's are a huge part of a team's success these days and Newkirk needs to improve for us to get where we need to be. Let's hope Archie can put him in spots where he excels.

One x-factor for OSU is Kevin Wilson. They may have an inexperienced offense, but Wilson knows our defense well. Or at least I would expect him too. I expect us to add a lot of wrinkles on D to change it up a bit for this game.

So so happy gameday is coming to IU. We tried so hard to get it there my Senior year (2016), but they ended up going to Notre Dame or somewhere else.

I still think Juwan is the perfect player for Archie's system. He'll be able to maximize his abilities this year because he'll be put in the right spots. He's my dark horse for potentially being the best player on the team. I think he needs to show a better shooting touch than he did last year, but if he can, watch out. I do agree with the Swiss army post above though. Juwan could be one of those great college players that I don't see ever really being on the NBA's radar because he doesn't have a skill that sticks out.

I stand corrected!

Missouri was 23 if I remember correctly
