Hoosiers219

I would like to see McSwain and one other player to fill need depending on departures and whether we could land a slam dunk late signee. A true PG or big should TB hire an agent would really round out the roster nicely.

My belief too. What strikes me is that Thomas Bryant is very young. I think that his maturity might very well require another year in college. I think he would benefit with another year of growth at the college level. His game would certainly benefit and I believe he would be able to answer some of the doubters in regard to his ability to defend the pick and roll and his lateral quickness. I have to imagine that he would creep into a top 14 pic, if he were to stay this year with the Hoosiers.

You beat me to this. He would put up huge numbers for Valpo, if he were to stay. Think McDermott. He would be an immediate contributor, should he take advantage of the relatively newly minted graduate transfer rule.

Evan Daniels reported that Cal was at La lumiere earlier today as well.

Agree, if Rob makes strides or if Newkirk is "that guy". I haven't really seen to many people confidently stating what Newkirk brings to the table. It was my understanding he was to fill this role, but again...the accolades seem conspicuously absent. (I do believe there was a blurb from CTC, but that is all.) I would welcome some feedback or analysis from anyone who has knowledge about this unknown quantity. Thon would fill the spot nicely. A grad stretch four/wing would also be sweet. It will be fun to watch who becomes available.

Next couple months should be interesting. Love to see a stretch 4/wing coupled with a true PG. A grad transfer would be ideal. It seems like Thon is both a stretch and a reach, but like to see him in the candy stripes. Grad transfer true PG would be a "bit of alright" as well. Could we do both? I must concede I love following the moves after a season has come to an end.

Holt?

Too much talent.

UNC unconscious. If you are game planning, don't you have to assume that UNC is not going to get the vast amount of their points behind the arc? When they knocked down three is at this level, how can you anticipate and/or game plan this. If UNC is hitting threes with their superior height and length, they are undeniably the best team in the country. We happen to be playing them on a night when all cylinders are firing at high capacity.

8 fouls in less than 6 minutes? What has been the foul disparity cumulatively over both halves?

F me!

The rim that UNC is currently shooting on is very friendly. I and we can only hope that this will continue during the second half.

Unc is going to go cold. They can't keep up their shooting

No Rojo!! I thought the "iffy" comment was just showmanship or typical misdirection. Damn!!!

He attended the university, but I'm not certain he "went to college". With that being said, I love me some Sir Charles.

If IUs the top 5 seed, how are they not in Midwest instead of Purdue?

A 5!!!!!!??????

Voted

Seems like we could use a wing or another big in the rotation. A true PG would be nice, but I thought that was what Newkirk was supposed to be. OG should be able to be that an athletic wing, but you can never have too many. ;) CTC seems to have a pension for filling in the gaps late. Let's hope it's more Max B and less GMM.

The time of year where late signees and recently grad transfer talk starts to surface. With the Spring signing period rapidly approaching and semesters soon to wind down, it is always an amusing practice to speculate and scan media outlets about prospective late additions. What do people think about these possibilities as our beloved Hoosiers move forward? I'm inclined to believe Troy is gone. He seems to have elevated his game recently with good Troy showing up far more than bad Troy. He is probably a late 2nd rounder in my estimation. I do not believe anyone else leaves based on their body of work so far. What addition to the team with our 2016 recruits, senior departures and Troy out of the picture makes sense? A wing? Another front court player? UPDATED TRANSFER LIST

Yessum.

Dakich is a dapping pandering sap.

Lalumiere a pretty nice pipeline. No love for the Hoosiers?!

The fact Troy can't stay down in his stance and in front of his man is incomprehensible, yet expected. Yes, with Rojo out, niego for Troy.

Should and must win game tonight. Beat illinoy (as we should, but certainly not a given in the faux Assembly Hall) and we can split the last two. Let's just play it safe and win 'em all. ;) Also, illinoy is neither a good win nor a respectable loss, so a loss gives our tournament résumé another gut punch. Losing to Maryland or Iowa will not be seen as a bad loss, but can help us immeasurably with seeding with wins in March.
