Alford Bailey

100% Agree! If we are as good as many say we are we should dominate a team like Eastern Illinois. And we did!

Ben Simmons is the real deal. Looks like a man among boys.

Yea, Mod took this wayyy off topic.

Hope we finish the class strong.

Landing Davis is huge because we invested a ton and we weren't in on any other bigs ( not counting Thon). Now we can focus on Brown or Alkins and land a top 30 guard with Thon a wildcard.

Is it too early to start dreaming about 2 6'10" skill guys on the same IU roster?

LOL

I guess he is still trying to decide??

That kids gonna be sorely disappointed if its MSU

Hope he isn;t still trying to make up his mind.

5:00 Lets Go!

Just what I was thinking. CHEAP!

Hope Deron doesn't try to fake us out on which hat he picks!

10 minutes and counting.

Sampson? This sounds a heck of alot like Crean's last couple years.

Howland: Hey kid, we went to 3 final fours and I can turn you into the next Russell Westbrook or Kevin Love. Come play for me.    Not sure he needs to cheat.

2015-2016 is more gifted physically pretty much across the board and should be the better defenders. It has to come down to the mental aspect of the game.

Lets get specific Brian Snow. Who is purchasing players?

Underachievers cheat? I know one coach who underachieves but I'm pretty sure he doesn't cheat.

Well, if he really hasn't made up his mind yet and AAU coaches are pulling toward Howland that kinda sucks for us.

I got a feeling that knee is more of an issue.

We mostly got away with it Cody's freshmen year so guys think Bryant can do the same. Since Bryant is already in the "boot of death" I dont have much faith he can give 30 min. a night.

Well, if Vic did turn it over he was much more likely to go to the other end and get it right back. LOL. I just know if 2012 Vic and 2015 Troy were standing side by side I'd pick Vic without hesitation.

Maybe Davis is recruiting Mario to IU? Doubt it .

Interesting topic. I too believe Cody was more polished and ready to have an immediate impact. I expect Bryant to be more up and down and I expect Thomas to get into foul trouble on occasion which was something Cody was mostly able to avoid. As far as the Troy -Vic comparison I dont think its close. Both are great athletes but Vic was much more under control and could dominate the game at both ends at times. Troy seems to still be out of control at times. Has big time potential but just isn't there yet.
