    Is this a serious question?

    Noah Vonleh - Shanghai Sharks

    They aren't sure what Aldridge is going to do probably frees up some money and gets them a young big man

    I just graduated from high school and I have never heard anyone say "Look at that fresh" so I don't think that's a thing

    Thats my point. Some of the best players in the league have a great midrange game.

    I see Anthony Davis hit a lot of midrange jumpers. He seems to be a decent player. So does Lamarcus Aldridge. Some guy named Dirk has a midrange game. Chris Paul, Kobe, KG, Gasol bros, Zach Randolph, Bosh. We could go on for a while.

    Don't you think Paul George is kinda thin to play the 4 for a extended period of time?

    New option for 1 and dones?

    In that case the only downside is not getting a college education. I could see this catching on.

    New option for 1 and dones?

    What about the kids who go to school thinking they are one and dones and then realize they aren't ready for the NBA so decide to come back for a sophomore year? Wouldn't a kid be out of luck he plays for this Vegas team and underperforms and NBA teams don't want him? There is no option to come back for another year so what does he do? Go to Europe?

    (2015) PG Harrison Niego to IU

    Since he is a preferred walk on it probably means Crean or someone on staff went to him and said "Hey we want you on our team but we can't give you a scholarship. So come to Indiana pay your own way and try out for the team and we will give you a spot." It's like telling him he made the team as a walk on before he even tries out for the team.

    2015 April Evaluation Period

    Yeah but those guys went to BYU. I wonder how a school like Duke or Indiana or someone who hasn't had to do what BYU does would handle that situation. Could push schools away from offering him if they know he won't be playing for two years.

    2015 April Evaluation Period

    It would be interesting. I'm curious to see how the school he chooses handles that. Excluding BYU and Utah I'm not sure what other schools have experienced that. Has there ever been a players as good as him serve a mission. Jabari chose not to go and I can't think of another lds player as good as them who chose to go.

    I've seen Frank Jackson in person many times. Trust me when I tell he can ball.

    (2016) RB Kiante Enis to IU

    This kid is dang good at basketball too by the way. Used to go to school in the same city as he did just opposite sides

    Blackmon Jr returning to IU

    Do we really expect him to get better at defense? Who is he going to learn it from?

    (2016) C Thon Maker

    The draft eligibility rules say that the player has to turn 19 in the calendar year of the draft and that they must be one year removed from high school. So as long as he meets those requirements I think he is good
  20. Finally got it to work on my tablet. Thanks guys
  21. Has anyone got the stream to work?

    YOGI--You Stayed! Now Lead Us To Glory!

    His mom passed away from the cancer she was battling this week. I think a big reason he was going to leave was to help pay for the treatment. He announced that he would take some time and think the decision over under the new circumstances.
  23. I just read on story from when he transferred out of Indiana and in the article it says he was a three star recruit. So are you now going to tell me ESPN and ITH went back and changed there info after they realized he wasn't very good
  24. Jurkin was a three star on ESPN and rated as the 26th best center in that class. No where near a high four star.
  25. The newest mock draft on Bleacher Report has Troy Williams going 29th overall to the Nets. Thought that was interesting. Not that it means much
