Hoosiers219

Agree that this will be a shot in the arm re: recruiting when coupled with wins. I don't believe a sophomore Bryant is better than zeller, but I do believe that the combination of Bryant and Davis will be a legitimate powerhouse. One that will actually be more daunting, if not more lauded than Watford/Zeller. If it were not for "the shot", how many people wished that Watford would be more physical and attack the tin with more ferocity? Zeller and Watford were special. I loved watching them. Thomas Bryant and DD are different. It will be interesting to see how Crean fills in the 1-3 around them.

Admittedly, I may have been a little overzealous. However, I believe that DD and Bryant cumulatively can be better than Zeller and Watford., although Zeller would obviously be the best of the 4. I'm sure reasonable and less than reasonable minds would differ. However, I stand by my position.

In all likelihood, the De'Ron Davis commit means that in the 2016 2017 season the Indiana Hoosiers will have a front corner of Thomas Bryant and De'Ron Davis. This is without question the best frontcourt that Tom Crean has had his disposal since he took the reins for the Hoosiers. Now, with Bryant and Davis, doesn't this make Brown and even Alkins want to sign a NLI with the Hoosiers. Think about a 2016 class with Brown and Alkins and I'm not talking scholarship numbers, it would provide a tremendous class with little to no drop off. We would be reloading rather than rebuilding as they like to say. Reloading is what needs to be the norm. Strong showing this year and strong recruiting class keeps the momentum in our favor. Note to players, staff and fans alike: lockdown and win!

Excellent! Now let's get Brown and bank a Hail Mary in Alkins!

I hope your gut is right. It frustrates me a little that we are still chasing most of our potential 2016s. Recruits buying in at many programs for 2016 and 2017. Would be nice to see some of that soon in BTOWN.
