    How dare you criticize Naples Hoosier's spelling of Italian slang words! (His spelling is much better when he has a couple Johnnie Walkers in his belly).

    I like strong opinions.
    I don't have to agree with them to want to see them.
    You have experience and real interest with in-state hoops.
     
    Why can't you put the condescension and rambling aside (just a little) and be an asset to this board? I'd be a huge fan of the prospect of that happening.

    Sure, we can go east and get talent equal to our local Indiana kids. No argument there. But, if we could land a local kid, same talent level, at a cheaper recruiting cost AND that kid DOESN'T go to OSU, MSU or UM that is a win for IU. I could care less if a top kid goes to Duke or UK. We rarely play them. When we lose the same kid to a conference rival that hurts. More focus on Indiana helps us and forces conference rivals (mostly UM, MSU and OSU who have done very well in our state) to go somewhere else and at a higher cost. Just makes sense.

    That's the thing though... We can totally rob some studs in that class. Build a solid class of '16's and then hand pick our awesome in-state '17 class and we should be set for a bit.

    I think Wilson is the right guy.Our recruiting is slowly improving. An improved year this year will continue this slow improvement. IIf we make a change, I am not convinced we would get someone better to come in and do any better.  He has learned the stateand how to lead the program.  I am not ready to start over.

    That formula has not worked for Crean or Davis.   Knight didn't try it. He focused and prioritized locally.   I don't agree with you.  I think we need to first prioritize the local kids because there's top national talent within 150 miles of IU's campus every single season.  If we get those kids and build a program, then we have a shot at consistent national kids.  Right now, that's a pipe dream.
     
    Like I said, to most kids, Indiana is now just another school, and it's our own fault.   It's proven we cannot get the top talent consistently, so we're recruiting nationally but we're getting mediocre players while passing on local kids.   If we could get the same kids as Duke, fine...but we can't.   We get one every two or three years.  Duke gets three every year.  The kids from around here can play....Wisconsin generally recruits their local area and you see what they do.  Michigan State does the same thing.   Look at their rosters.  You asked me if I wanted titles?   Look at what they do every year, then look at what Indiana's doing.   Indiana should be no different than those schools.

    cchoneycut reacted to Lt. John McClaine in The NBA Draft is coming up quick.   
    Find End Now, did you really take the time to do this Mock Draft or did you just copy and paste somebody else's that you think is on point?  If you did take the time to do it, well thanks, that's a lot of work.  And even though you drive me crazy, that's still a lot of work to and I appreciate it.  I'm sure the board does too.  
     
    I always liked the NBA Draft, mainly because of my love for the College Game, and the fact that I've heard of the majority of the players that are entering it, except for the International players.  I've been researching the draft for some time now, and I really can't remember one that is so up in the air after about the 4th pick.  
     
    I'm really only concerned with the Pacers, and if I had to choose who they like and who they'll pick, I'd say that they're gonna go with Cameron Payne out of Murray State.  The Pacers are in desperate need of a point guard because CJ Watson won't be back and Donald Sloan is typically your 3rd point guard on a roster.  I suppose that they could go big because there's a need because David West is 34 and Roy Hibbert is just not good.  If we do go big then I'd really like us to grab Trey Lyles or Frank Kamiskey. I really don't want us to pick Miles Turner out of Texas because to me he is Roy Hibbert 2.0.

    Maybe instead of just recruiting all Indiana kids lets just make them a bigger priority. So I'm not saying lets only recruit in Indiana, but let's make our high school basketball programs feel like they have a chance at IU, so when we get a loaded class (class of '16/'17) we can be ahead of the game(which we are with that class). I'm fine with bringing in the East coast kids and what not, but maybe just a bit more PRIORITY on our Midwestern boys.

    Our top priority should be the best players that fit our needs and get what it meant to play at IU.  I could care less if they came from Indiana, neighboring states, Alaska or Germany.
