    He plays on the team "Coast" in the movie

    OT: My First Viewing of 'Blue Chips'

    Thats who the character was based on as far as coaching style and profanity 
  3. Goodluck is scary on Defense but has 0 offensive game. Zimmerman is going to be REALLY good though
  4. JBJ isn't going anywhere, he would risk too much by leaving.

    2015 Transfers and Early Entries

    I don't doubt that they will be solid, but they were solid with Jabari Parker and lost in the first round. Coach K always has a solid team but having a group of great players doesn't almost make a great team. They will be competitive and ranked in the top 10 all year but this years team (like Kentucky's team this year) was a team that really were in sync and its hard to replicate that year in and year out

    Duke is going to have a tough time replacing the three they lost this year. Looks like next year will be another early exit from the tourney

    (2016) C Thon Maker

    Doesn't he qualify as an international player since he is going to school in Canada?

    (2016) C Thon Maker

    Found this pretty cool http://collegespun.com/big-12/kansas/uncommitted-5-star-forward-thon-maker-appreciates-the-love-from-indiana-fans
  11. Thats his game though. He plays down low and occasionally steps out and hits a 3. We aren't in the position to change someone's game. We need to adjust to the players we have
  12. Hit the nail on the head. In a year or two he will go down as an absolute steal of a recruit

    Starting 5 as of Today

    Crean just said two weeks ago that Devin is a very long ways away from even being able to participate in contact drills. Running through shooting drills is way different from actual contact drills and game action. Im afraid it will be pushing it for him to be back and contributing next year. Maybe midseason?
  14. Saw this coming. We never had a shot. From the beginning even before he was being recruited by anyone he said he wanted to go to Michigan St. and low and behold look where he went
  15. I would like to see us get Brunk
  16. Everything that I read said OG is at least 6' 8" and that was awhile back. Hearing that he is still growing as well

    Too many forwards?

    I don't think we can really count Devin Davis as of yet. I know its a long ways till next season starts, but in a recent interview Crean says Devin is still a long ways away from even being able to participate in contact drills.

    I think out of necessity he did. With Devin Davis being out Collin's recovery time had to be sped up a bit

    It is funny that every offseason we sit around and say who is going to get how many minutes and whatnot and then during the season it goes completely different from how we expect.

    If he could be relied on for offense like Alford or play D like Dakich then it would be fine. Of course its not always the quickest that wins the matchup, but quickness and positioning is important.  Making comparisons to one of the greatest scorers in IU history and one of the better defenders to play here doesn't really make sense here

    (2015) C Thomas Bryant to IU

    Looks for for 2016 we are recruiting Rawle and DeRon Davis the hardest

    2015 Transfers and Early Entries

    They no doubt will have the best class but I don't see them having the same success as this years squad. This years squad had Cauley Stein (jr.) and the Harrison twins (soph). Pythress has experience as does Ulis but Lee has next to no experience plus all the freshman, it won't be the same for them. They will be a good team still

     I heard the same, but his named has been mentioned as a transfer each of the past two off seasons. I guess we'll see

    Too many forwards?

    Its especially dangerous with all the transfers these days

    Im not down on Hartman but you also have to be realistic about him. Of course it wasn't fair to put him in the post, but he isn't quick enough to defend most wings. Apart from an occasional three he doesn't add much on offense. Im not saying he is terrible or shouldn't play, but I think he is a role player at best. He is usually pretty smart with the ball and his passing but can't be counted on to score usually
