Didn't someone make a crack a while back about how UK fans obsessively talk about IU?

Just sayin...

They do have a history of early exits even with high seeds but this team looks pretty good.
Wiltjer is a player and looks to be a good kid too.

Dear Venky---please tell us you want to finish up your college education at a nationally acclaimed business school and that your two favorite colors are Cream and Crimson!
 
What you THINKY VENKY?  :biggrin:

yeah, I'd take him as a grad transfer in a New York minute. He actually had a rough game tonight though. PG Harvey carried them.

A lottery pick that is at the end of the bench of a terrible team in the NBA ;) But thats another story

Anyway that we can convince Venky Jois to transfer here?

Speaking of our big man situation---anybody on the inside got any Devin Davis updates from practice----how's he coming along?

Looking back at your post from 10/2/14 here... definitely trust Alex Popp then

A couple to the draft and a couple to transfers, we could literally be starting over with a "young" team again next year....

I don't know anything...except i want those two brothers wearing cream and crimson. I'm trying really hard to "will" it to happen. Also, i keep posting his info and fake rumors and other stuff to get his name noticeable on here and maybe his handler will take notice.

Weren't the Harrison twins both top 5 ranked in high school or something like that? Man they were supremely overrated

I'd be surprised if any Hoosier left for the draft this year. I just don't see any player being rated high enough to justify leaving school.

Somewhat agree but his decision making seems to be improving.

@the dump up there won't be easy though.  We won't get the calls we would in the Hall.  I imagine we will hear more about the team not cutting with a purpose.

Born in IN moved to TX at a very young age

Yea---about every team in the country has role players like Priller toward the end of their bench---not everybody can be a starter.  He's a Hoosier and busting his butt for our team in practice. Let's be classy---and support ALL of our players.
 
 

Yea, we've seen these types of signings before but I though those days were gone :(

Yeah I found that earlier too when I was looking. ESPN's recruiting page doesn't seem to do updates after they initially post a players profile though. Most of the other recruiting sites had him at 6'8" 215

-The year he brought in Bracey Wright and Marshall Strickland he also brought in a PF from the West Coast named Daryl Pegram. 2/3 star guy that only had 3 offers total.( William & Mary, George Mason, IU). He played in two games at IU and transferred. 
-The next year Davis brought in 6' 10" PF Jessan Gray-Ashley from Iowa. The kid was a string bean, was unranked and had ) stars no stars on one recruiting website and 2 stars on another. He played in a game or two his first semester and then was academically ineligible and transferred (he ended up going to like 3 or 4 different schools before he graduated)

-Who could possibly forget the great Cem Dinc, center from Germany(by way of Brewster Acadamy) that Davis brought in. He was unheard of. He was only listed on one recruiting site that had him at 0 stars. He played a few minutes in 3 games in his first year and transferred out.

Random players but Jessan Gray-Ashley and Cem Dinc are probably the most unknown ever brought.

Also important to realize that the video posted here was from when he was in high school two years ago. If you compare his weight in high school to now, he has gained weight to play in the post and judging by pictures he has mostly bulked up. 

His ball handling has gotten better, maybe I should've said his decision making when he has the ball in his hands. He always seem s to turn the ball over at the worst possible time.

I think those with these thoughts have some IU blinders on. Troy is athletic as all get out but thats where it ends. He can't handle the ball, can't shoot efficiently, and isn't the best defender. There are tons of guys like that in the NBA plus a million more in D League and Europe trying to make it to the NBA. Troy should take a look at Vonleh, someone who was drafted based off potential. Vonleh has a nice comfy seat at the end of the bench on a crappy team in a weak division/conference. Im not saying Williams couldnt do it, I just don't think it would be smart. He needs a lot of improvement if he doesn't want to spend his life in the D league and in Europe

Why does he have to give a reason for his sub patterns? Ive never heard on coach explain his sub pattern. You guys are really scrapping the bottom of the barrel these days
