  The kid has been very immature in both academics and the things that he has done off the court. Changed his mind on college several times indicating he has no idea what he wants in a program. Denied at Oregon. Trouble follows him and many posters have offered concern he just doesn't get it. He's very talented but at what cost? Hollowell wasn't half the distraction this kid is and we all saw how that ended up. Ron Patterson 2.0

  How late? Surely not Spring right?

  What would you say if he was a 3 star

  He's late in picking IU on Bryant. Meyer still, has Mizzou I believe. I think Messmer knows it's between us and Cuse. 

To add to that, Messmer has Shake going to OU. So let's see how that pans out. I think he's right

For what it's worth, Messmer is 2 for 2 on IU picks thus far. 

Once again, everyone who wants Hartman and Priller over OG and Juwan, please keep bashing this signing and Crean's oversigning. Just don't complain when we stink. 

Shake is staying home I'm guessing. Leaves room for a big man

If i had a nickel for every time a poster said they had inside info and were wrong I would own an island. An Oklahoma "insider" heard we are giving his coach a job after just hiring a new assistant. Cool your jets everyone. Remember on TOS a guy bet us a year's salary Zeller was going to Butler because he was told so personally by the family. We don't need Shake that bad to hire his AAU coach

On what he’s most looking forward to about playing at Indiana: “Just playing under the bright lights in the Big Ten. Playing for coach Crean. And wearing the candy stripes.”   Nuff said

  Hartman won't sniff the court in any B1G game whether he is injured or back at full strength

  Not in my book. We have no real backup QB on the roster. How does that happen? Other than Missouri, this team hasn't played any different than last season minus the running game. No one gave Lynch this many seasons without a bowl. CKW shouldn't be an exception. 

1. Sunshine Pumper 2. Optimistic 3. Realist 4. Traditionalist 5. Indifferent 6. Pessimistic  7. Debbie Downer 8. Doom & Gloom   I can be all but 5 and 8 depending on the outcome of a game

  My general mood is ultimately determined by IU Basketball. It's gotten to a point where friends and coworkers know the outcome of games without watching  

I don't think he's headed our way fellas

  Just from some loose sources I heard he caused a rift with Sheehey, Etherington, Fischer, and Yogi. Not sure how much of that is true but obviously two of those players left so...

I applied for a promotion at work that they ensured I was a shoe in to get. They brought in someone from the outside because "they need my leadership where I am"   I could smell the cow crap falling out of his mouth. 

  You're right. We had to deal with Hollowell too

This is going in circles. We have had the Fischer conversation. Let it die. 

  Yes

VO is beyond a class act. If you want to point to a poster of someone who represents Indiana basketball, it's him. 

A knee injury will force Victor Oladipo to watch from the bench Friday night while his Orlando Magic teammates face the Indiana Pacers in a preseason game.   But Oladipo will savor the trip to Indianapolis anyway.   Oladipo has never forgotten that the Indiana University basketball program gave him a chance when no other major program did.   "It's special going back there," Oladipo said. "If I'm playing or if I'm just visiting, it's always special. It's my second home."   Indiana's basketball fans treat him like family.     On Oct. 29, 2013, when the Magic opened their regular season in Indianapolis, a group of several hundred crimson-and-cream-clad Indiana Hoosiers fans attended a pregame meet-and-greet with Oladipo. The fans shook his hand. They posed with him for pictures. They asked for his autograph.   A couple of hours later, when Magic coach Jacque Vaughn subbed in Oladipo midway through the first quarter, almost every fan inside the arena stood and applauded as he made his NBA regular-season debut.     "Vic, in his time at Indiana, he was a guy that played extremely hard," Vaughn said Thursday. "It's one of the reasons we drafted him. The fans in Indiana, they appreciate good basketball and good basketball players."   When Oladipo arrived at IU's campus in Bloomington, the Hoosiers were Big 10 bottom feeders. But the team got better. It reached the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16 during his sophomore and junior seasons.   The Magic are hoping for similar growth, and Oladipo, a 6-foot-4 guard, is a key part of the franchise's nucleus. For the team to develop, Oladipo must develop, too.     He has pegged the upcoming season as a key stretch of his career, and that's one of the reasons he's frustrated by the knee injury he suffered on Oct. 3.   He dropped almost 20 pounds during the offseason — cutting bread out of his diet — and he felt more explosive and more energetic.   Vaughn thinks Oladipo displayed "a greater confidence" in the Magic's six training-camp practices before Oladipo sprained the medial collateral ligament in his right knee.   "I think he really worked on his body in the offseason," Vaughn said. "He worked on his game, and when you feel good about yourself, a lot of times that parlays into how your game is playing. I definitely think his ability to get the ball up the floor and his ball-handling [are] better. His shooting seemed to be improved."   Oladipo will have to wait to show off any new-and-improved wrinkles to his game.   The team will not provide a timetable on when Oladipo is expected to return, but he seemed spry on his feet Thursday, even with a brace wrapped around the knee.   "It's good," Oladipo said. "By God's grace, it wasn't as serious as it could've been. But I'm taking my time getting back. I'm not rushing. I'm doing what I can, trying to stay in shape at the same time. When I'm ready, I'll come back."   He visits Indiana as often as possible.   Tom Crean, IU's coach, offered him a scholarship when Oladipo was a high-school senior at a school in Hyattsville, Md.   If Crean hadn't made that offer, Oladipo thinks he would've attempted to walk on to a Division I team somewhere.   It all worked out. Oladipo became the second overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, and Hoosiers fans love him. IU alumni root him on everywhere the Magic play.   The fans Friday night likely will show him some love, too.   "It's an amazing feeling," Oladipo said. "After only being there for three years, it feels like I've been there all my life. Then, for them to treat me the way they do? There's no words for it."

ya gotta pay to read

Fischer had nothing to do with "Creaning" at all. Kid was homesick. Don't really understand the personal digs taken in that post

  No freaking way
