And to think, this dude could jump out of the gym before he doubled the size of his quads...

Thank goodness it's dental stuff ... would hate for Jerome Hunter to have a Mo Creek-like experience at IU. So much good can come out of that young man.
 

Good ol Deland Florida! That’s sum old Florida town right there.
Gonna be a serious adjustment for him in the level of b-ball interest for that school. There’ll be far more people at his home games in Blackford—Deland isn’t really near anything and I’m betting they get about 500 per game in the stands. Not a bad place at all, but a MAC school might’ve been a stronger b-ball fit.
PS: Best of luck to the young man!
 

Good for him! Will be following!

So on 7/14 two of the rivals predictions switched from Purdue to IU. Rivals and 247 are now 5/5 for IU.  

Playing for Jordy’s AAU program!

Indiana tight end Peyton Hendershot is on the 2020 Mackey Award watch list. Hendershot is one of 36 tight ends to be nominated on the list.

Zach Osterman tweet --  Allen asked about Peyton Hendershot.  He has completed "team-sanctioned discipline" and student conduct process, as well as legal process.  He's "completely cleared and will be back with the team now fully."

Am I the only one that thinks everyone overreacted to this whole thing? He's worried about his long-term health and wants to make sure he's healthy heading into his contract season next year. But by traveling with the team it seemed obvious to me he was keeping the door cracked to still play, which now sounds like he's considering again. That big break in action along with limited resources to staying game ready no doubt scared him with this restart. I think it's perfectly understandable. 
EDIT: After catching up through the last couple pages I'm pleased to see this site (for the most part) remained calm. The Pacers Facebook/Instagram pages were a cesspool of hate.

How are we to judge athletes like Vic on his decisions for his own life? He is coming off a devastating injury that might have ended most athlete’s careers. He worked his way back to playing real games and then the season was halted. The rhythm is now gone, and he is more susceptible to re-injury. He is also about to enter a contract year. If he hurts himself again, he will not get near the amount of money he would have gotten if he were to get to 100% and had an All-Star year.

If he leaves, I’m sure it’s in his best interest whether that be money or a better situation for him. Vic knows himself best, and he shouldn’t be called a prima donna. He is doing what he thinks is best for him. His health and life are more important than the Pacers making the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Alec Lasley - 2021 IU commit Logan Duncomb continues to impress. Great ability to run the floor, good hands, soft touch. Offensive game has very much evolved over the past year

Didn’t watch the highlight but from Demo’s analysis CWat was the player that came to mind. You can run that type of 4 in today’s game but I would like to see some improvement with his athleticism.

Anybody else get CWat vibes from those few highlights?

Thank you for producing great content so regularly.
Post your links anytime (if you can beat OldFart to it lol)!

Really nice to have a free option to read this kind of stuff.

Really nice quote from Thornton.   Oftentimes it seems like the responses to offers are pretty canned and blah, blah, blah, but not this one.
"Not everybody can just play there. It is an honor. Just really shocked and speechless when I heard IU calling."

I know it is easy to look at freshmen as the next shiny thing that will cure all the team's problems. I get that and have been guilty of it myself. 
But my goodness I am so much more excited to watch this kid on the court than Justin Smith. He will have a growing process but you can just tell he loves basketball and has an infectious personality. Something this team really needs more of. 

Listening to Dan Patrick Show. He just said his source told him football seasons for the Pac-12 and B1G would be conference games only. 
For one, his "sources" are often wrong. For two, how can they make that determination at this point? I would think we have  a few weeks before things like that need to be finalized. 

Nojel Eastern wasn’t admitted to UMich...he’s officially back on the transfer block
