  1. Perhaps its time to stop being mean to goats and the World Series will return.  Perhaps consider letting them graze on the field during every 7th inning stretch. 
  2. If after all the work we have put in on Davis if we lost him because of negative recruitment there can really only be 2 options.  Give Crean another ridiculous contract guaranteeing hes here to stay for another 3 to 4 years or get a new coach.    We outworked EVERYBODY on Davis, we have better facilities better everything we can not be losing so soundly.  And with so little effort from other schools.  
  3. This team is not treading up. Or even if they are it won't matter because next year we will be going back down.
  4. It's hard to beat not having to go to class.
  5.   The reason I singled out JBJ over Yogi was mostly because I think that with Yogis physical tools, his defensive potential is limited.  JBJ has so many physical tools he isn't utilizing.  But honestly Yogi, Troy, Rojo and JBJ all could stand to improve on that front and had things they could do to improve.  JBJ just has the most room. 
  6. I think for the most part rankings are more of an indicator of a players ability to contribute right off the bat assuming quality coaching.  Not which one is going to be the better player down the road.  Their were dozens of players better than Oladipo his Freshmen and Sophomore years.    Most 3 stars aren't ready to do that their freshman year(Trey Burke is a really good example of an exception).  Most 5 stars are.    In regards to us, we do need highly ranked guys next year.  Cujo probably isn't ready to contribute starting next year.  Certainly not 30+ minutes a game. 
  7. JBJ I think is the key, if he can play some legit defense that he is more than capable of playing from a physical standpoint it will help the team in so many way. 
  8.   Serious question here, would that belong on the General board or the recruiting board.  My guess would be general board because recruiting board is so far only player topics.  But just want clarification. 
  9.   Yeah but they had years to mature around better players because Izzo had a solid team, and thus could recruit projects and potential guys.  We don't have that next year.  We are almost certainly losing 4 of our starters.    We need guys that can contribute in some meaningful way as freshman. 
  10.   Izzo had those ranked classes because he didn't have playing time to offer.  The top 6 minute guys on the 2013-14 team were all already at school.  We have tons of PT up for grabs next year us and Mississippi are in the same boat, lots of contributors leaving plenty of PT available and yet we are losing to them.  That really is unacceptable.  Go to a MSU board they don't give a damn about basketball I would bet money that football topics outweigh basketball 20-1.  They are the inverse of us, even during football season we have more topics about basketball.   Its ok to have a average class when you are returning your entire team for next year.  Thats when you take on projects and guys that have potential.  If they don't work out you can easily promise playing time the next year if they do, great you landed a diamond in the rough.    And just to point out didn't Michigan State lose in the elite 8 in 2014?
  11. Even if he just cancel his MSU that could give us some momentum
  12. Hopefully Davis sees it as more competition there and it's just him sealing the deal. Fingers crossed
  13. Was this planned? Does it have anything to do with the Schnider decision?
  14. Wow admirable.
  15. And Yet Wilson with his more talented teams can't even win more games.
  16. I really hope Durham hasn't looked at this topic.
  17. Yeah I misread it too. Herard is announcing and it's going to be MSU. So they can only take Kegler or Davis from us.
  18. Oh misread that. Gotta think it's MSU. Although if both he and Davis spurn MSU it could help with Kegler
  19. Wow does he have some affiliation with IU for that kind of excitement.  Is he the first person in his family to go to college maybe?   It just blows my mind with so many of these kids treating this as a business decision that a kid from Georgia could be so excited to be a hoosier. 
  20. Part of me wonders if this was partly motivated by the teammates he is expecting to have his freshman year. 
  21.   You enjoy watching this team?  Why exactly?   I don't enjoy watching a team go out there and embarrass themselves.  Eeking out wins against garbage teams.  Then playing good teams tough but then failing to execute in the fourth and getting blown out. 
  22.   Complete Game?  From IU football is that a thing?
  23. Hopefully this is because we are going to do our best to not run the team ragged by February
  24. Any word on his decision timeline?
  25. Perhaps we think the kid is underrated and wanted to lock him up
