On one hand I will be pleased if we land Tucker. Makes for a decent class. On the other hand Im a little disappointed. Means we are just sweet sixteen relevant for another year. No real star power or size down low. Means we wont match up well against a really good and physical team like we always meet in the sweet sixteen.

Top 10 recruits that we would likely have to beat Duke for. Highly unlikely. Basketball factory bound. Then we drop down to Phinisee who looks to be a good get. After that nobody to get excited about yet.

Yea pretty sure my local 2A school had a larger attendance at its last game.

Would be UUUUGGGGEE!

Yea, both guys shoulda went last year. Now you have to watch HS level to see who is coming up behind you.

I dont think we can go off Creans recruiting. Priorities seem to change daily at times.

With Langford and Garland out of reach looks like Phinisee is the only legit option for a top 100 player in this class so far.

This, on top of him being on the 2 year plan.

Seems to be doing better as of late. But yea he is not even a top 100.

I figured he may be of legal age.

Was gonna be my guess. Less than 5 min. game.

What would his role be? Crean wants to spread the floor and drive and kick. Guards have to be able to shoot or drive and score in this offense. Ive been pleased with Josh on defense. And Im not one who thinks he is forcing things. He is taking what the defense is giving. But, on offense he isnt particularly quick, struggles to score around the basket and that jumper is ugly. Teams will try and force him to beat us from here on out.

Read it wrong. Looks like 5 but still good.

only 2 TOs

WOW!

Or Crean coulda been dressed up as Pitino and thats why no pics were allowed!

DEAL WITH IT! It was 2 degrees this morning and my car doors froze shut.

We used to all the time. IU even played at Millett Hall ( Miami OH) under Knight.

Our non con schedule is actually pretty decent this year. We will always have some cupcakes.

Romeo would be a huge get even for Pitino.

So how does this kid compare to Troy?

No point guard or finisher. I can honestly see 7 losses on the road but will go with 12-6.

Yea, a team like Butler gets a lead on us and all they really have to do is not allow us to get out on the break. We hit a couple baskets they call a timeout and kill momentum. We dont have a Yogi to force uptempo like last year.

I was thinking the same today. Short term Ive been bullish on this team but long term Ive never thought Crean takes us where we want to go. If we become middle of the pack again I can see one or both sides wanting to make a change. Things like family life change and I can even see Crean wanting to move on.
