No. Being with Adidas doesn't help Indiana sports. What don't you get about that? Something is obviously broken somewhere. Might as well change the things you can. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

If his playing time was kept up because of trying to keep connections.. then Crean screwed up. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

Potential to make more. Under Armour and Nike both notice that a basketball program won't be enough. And our football seems to be a small upswing. Football is where the potential at. Adidas doesn't help. The ceiling with Adidas is quite low. Louisville is their top program. Basketball and football. Adidas was going to give us money because they're losing ground quickly in basketball because people have found out their product does suck. They might have great soccer and track equipment.. but our basketball team can't wear soccer cleats on the court. It was just another terrible decision by Fred and co. The long term, money making potential is not with Adidas. Other programs like Michigan, Wisconsin and UCLA are seeing this and those are places on the upswing trying to be elite. While Indiana seems to be content with mediocrity. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

Which would be incredibly stupid Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

Indiana is 30 years of mediocrity separated from that tradition. It is time to let go. Remember it. But you can't rebuild the program on it. It doesn't work and never will. Kids now don't know about that history. It is time for Indiana basketball to step into a new era. Rather than shadowing the current players with the past we should be encouraging them to build a legacy of their own. A 30 year hiatus in being elite kinda garners a change.

Potential with a much better company or a long term deal with a cheap company... Remember Glass saying "This is Indiana" yet we settle so often like we're from the SWAC. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

Is it though? It is obvious that programs, players and business are going away from Adidas. Michigan, Wisconsin and UCLA are 3 that have went to Nike or Under Armour. Dwight Howard chucked them to the side. I don't know really of any NFL players with Adidas. I'd have to check that. They lost the support of NBA fans and didn't even attempt to compete for a new contract. They then gained the NHL and James Harden. Indiana is a basketball school. The decisions made do need to cater in the direction of basketball. Football would be the second priority. Adidas does not make a good product for basketball or football. It may be the best soccer brand in the world... but soccer pays for nothing at the University. Same with track. Indiana could have easily gotten a short term deal with Nike or Under Armour. It would be the 2nd contract that would have been big. Not only is the potential for better money there but the product of the two companies are far beyond that of Adidas. Adidas is an almost dying brand in the US. Nike is at the top obviously. Under Armour is #2 and has climbed fast. Signing with Adidas was a massive mistake and desperate move by Adidas as well as they try to save their butts in the US. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

I guess it is good to settle for less. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

Will make the team better. Losing someone so self absorbed won't hurt the program. Let's just hope all the bad apples are finally gone. 2012 and 2013 classes were a couple of... something. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

UCLA is throwing Adidas to the curb and signing with Under Armour. A 15 year deal worth 280 million. Which tops the 15 year, 252 million deal Ohio State signed with Nike earlier in the year. It is the largest shoe/apparel contract in college history. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

Ant that are actual PG's. RJ can't be trusted to handle the ball a lot. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

If he doesn't return to Illinois.. a team out there will take a chance on him. An SEC football team or a small school. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

UNC will still be really good. Berry, Pinson, Jackson, Hicks and Meeks returning. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

There is one thing I wish Yogi would have done in a game.. dunk it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

Isn't shooting supposed to be like riding a bike? Lol. I like to shoot lefty while playing horse. So you'd probably beat me. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

Uh no. I had health issues in HS and didn't play my senior year. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

People still think of Allen as a shooter. But he's a great athlete. But the media will say "shocking athleticism" or sneaky athleticism" and not "explosive." That's what McCaffrey was saying. And it happens. We just move on. Because we all use it. Will Sheehey was "sneaky athletic" while Vic was "explosive." Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

In my freshman year at VU, when I dunked it in the Rec Center... you would have thought everyone seen a ghost lol. If Yogi was white.. he'd have even less a chance at the NBA. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

You can dislike it all you want. But it changes people's views. Christian McCaffrey knows. And I am a Hoosier. No an "(e)X-Hoosier." Creative though. [emoji106] [emoji122] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

And was old enough to go to Indiana when chairs were getting scholarships lol. I'm the sane age as Yogi. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

I'm just a good shooter. What I do Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

I'm 5'10, white and 160 pounds. When you're white and the size of Tyler Ulis.. things don't work for you... now if I was 6'5.. well Crean has proven he'll take the chance. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app

My best out of 100 from the free throw line is 95 for 100. But that included 60 straight. Which is also my best. From HS 3 I've went 85 for 100. HS 3 is easy. For HS kids it is easy. Too close. I'd love to be in the conditions Yogi is just because it is fun to put numbers on things like that. But only if I'm allowed to have my athleticism when I was 18 haha.
