    I will not understand if they don't make a run at Bennett. IU could offer him double what he's making and the resources along with it to become truly elite. If there is some ego thing because he turned it down in '08 that needs to be forgotten. He is the best bet we have to lure that is in the college ranks.

    Would be greatly appreciated.

    He's obviously a bitter dude but at this point he probably just doesn't care, which is fine, and we shouldn't either. Hung three banners and is one of the best and most polarizing CBB coaches of all time and I'm thankful for that.

    There is a very real possibility we don't win another game this season with the way we are playing and the dysfunction internally.

    My buddy who is a Notre Dame fan texted me out of nowhere the other day and just said "Hoiberg is your next coach" so at least others outside of IU circles are seeing there is a need for change

    Wouldn't it be the most unCreany-Creaniest thing ever to beat Wisconsin in Madison Sunday????
  7. Well, it's incredibly unfortunate to have happen under these circumstances but the whole OG leaving thing has very likely been solidified for Tucker....
  8. It's more of a gut-feeling but the fact that he's a senior and will have his IU degree makes me think he won't be back.
  9. I think OG is 100% gone after this year and I think TB should/will go too. I believe OG is a top-20 pick (at least) this year and could be lotto. NBA is about potential and OG is one of the most physically-gifted college players in recent years so I'm not sure stats for him makes much of a difference. I don't think Hartman is back next year either for what that's worth with Tucker. I don't get why McSwain gets minutes. I think/hope Moore will be above McSwain next year on PT. The way Crean subs people Tucker will get a decent amount of minutes as a frosh. Would be weird if this ends up as a top-15 class after all the "misses" we have had in the '17 class.

    TOM CREAN FIRED

    crimsonquarry is trying to back down everyone on Twitter that voices their opinion on canning Crean....and I'm not buying. They just posted a clip from the Butler NC game vs. Duke and how they went ISO to try and compare to the plays Crean calls. There were in the National. Championship. Game. Two. Years. In. A. Row. And almost beat that Duke team. How is that an argument against Stevens?????? I usually like their takes/articles but they're being ridiculous with some of this stuff. This three-game stretch has been pretty shocking but at the same time familiar. I've become numb to these swings and I'm losing interest. It's hard to care that much when you know what is going to happen.
  11. 13-5. Wouldn't be surprised with 11-7 or 15-3 honestly, though. Should just stop starting Newkirk and have Rojo take point with JBJ, OG, Juwan, and TB.

    Okay....there's something wrong with OG. He's not down in a stance and looks completely or of sorts. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    I mean IPFW is playing like this is the biggest game of their lives and credit to them for it. We're asleep. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    Most Important 2017 Recruits

    Yeah, noticed this too. He had a great first half against Kansas but only had 5 shots and 4 shots in the last two games, respectively. He needs to get more inside touches than he is currently. We have a lot of guys that can score but Thomas should be a focal point of the offense when he's out there as he can be deadly on the block. Wonder how much having a guy like Yogi helped him last year.
  16. Would like to get Redding going this game and bring in the wildcat with Camion, Natee, and Zander. Don't turn the ball over and I think we run it up on PU pretty good.

    He looked like he was giving birth. If Harris wasn't feeling it, MSU is prob down by 8 or so going to half. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    (2017) PF Billy Preston to Kansas

    Maybe I'm mistaking this for the '16 class being Izzo's best ever?? This article from ITH gives a good analysis of the past 5 years. Doesn't factor in transfers but IU is top in the B1G. http://www.insidethehall.com/2016/05/02/a-ranking-of-the-big-ten-programs-over-the-past-five-years/2/ Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    (2017) PF Billy Preston to Kansas

    I thought I heard this somewhere but isn't Bridges MSU's first ever 5*? I'm disappointed we didn't land any of our top-level targets and can fully understand the wasted resources argument. That said, I think we'll be top 5 in the B1G next year and could even surprise some and finish top 3. I'm assuming we will get a grad transfer and likely Tucker in this argument too. It's pretty important that we perform well in March this year and make a run to stay relevant on the national stage. We'll get more respect next year if we do.

  20. I'm fine with this game....that UM team is really, really good and May contend for a NC. Play calling was questionable again but I'm glad it didn't get ugly. We battled and came up short. On to PU next week! Let's punch that bowl game ticket. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
  21. The Hoosiers are so unpredictable which makes this game interesting. I could see us keeping this close for a while. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    This is crazy. Something is clearly missing from our pitch right now. Crean needs to address with hiring and paying somebody that can reel some of these guys to IU. Man, this has been frustrating. Such a weird time to be a fan when the team is trending upwards and potentially sending 3 guys to the draft but the recruiting misses keep coming.....BLEH
  24. Hoping we play decent and don't turn it over. There is a good level of talent on this IU team but seem to self-destruct at the worst times. Not expecting much but would be great to keep it close! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    The release at the top of his jump too. So silky, JBJ. He has the greenest green light known to mankind.
