Yup. I think this team is going to do better than most project. Romeo and Juwan are too good of a 1-2 combo.

Don't think Loyola will be as good as last year but they still should win the MVC.

Saw Romeo had 19 points and 10 rebounds

lol their fans will tell you Brooks is ranked too low for them. What a joke. I don't care where he is ranked he will be a very good player no matter where he goes. I think he is a one and done.

I agree with this. Yes, Loyola got hot at the right time last year but they lost three key players. I don't think this game will be close. IU by 10. But heck it's only a secret scrimmage. Cheers to college hoops being back!

Not at all. Rodney Watson, their coach, is the D2 version of Crean. One postseason win in 10 years...They always have talent too.

Not surprised IU is 28. Very rarely do teams who miss the NCAA and NIT start the season ranked. A lot of unknown and a chip on their shoulder!! I do agree Purdue at 24 is crap. Carsen will ball for them and that's it.

haha or Donnie Hale

haha I'm sure this was a clean recruitment, right?

I hope next week or the end of the month. If this drags on he might be a Bruin...or at least until March when Alford gets fired.

If they underachieve this year (they have lots of talent) he will be gone.

Exactly. The Pac 12 is weak so they will probably make the tournament as a bubble team.

That is another reason I still favor IU. I see UCLA not living up to expectations with Tyger and O'Neal out. Wherever he goes I'll root for TJD. Think he will be a very good college player.

I had the same thought last week but I still think it is a heavy IU lean. I've noticed with this recruitment that a lot of bigger schools stayed away from TJD. UNC and UCLA were the only other "blue bloods" involved (yes I still consider IU one). No Duke no Kentucky and no Kansas. I think part of that reason is schools know he is a heavy IU lean. I'm like everyone else and hope he commits soon but I'm glad he is enjoying the process. Only happens once in your life.

Is this going to be like DJ Carton where he announces his top three and then commits a week later? I hope it's not a surprise like DJ's....

I'm down.

I said the same thing to someone on Saturday. Part of the reason Hoosier Hysteria was so early was to get the hoopla out of the way and get to work. Marquette is not an easy team who will be dancing in March. They have a couple of really good studs. I think Arkansas has a big man that is projected to go in the lottery. The non-con isn't the hardest slate ever but it sure is an improvement. Also, thank god for no Indiana State or IPFW. Lol I was at the Indiana State game last year and it was miserable.

Exactly. It sounds like a good problem to have. Practices should be very competitive. My guess is Archie goes only ten deep. I'd be surprised if there isn't a transfer during or after the season. It is tough to keep that many guys happy.

Jake looked awesome in the scrimmage. I am not worried about our frontcourt at all. I am just curious on how deep Archie will go. The end of our bench is as good as it has been in a LONG time. I just hope guys will buy into the program even if they don't play right away.

I too think he is on a short leash. I think he is your starting PG right now but If Phinisee shows he is capable then I think he may take over the starting PG spot. We will see. Might be the biggest question mark on the team.

Those are the same five that I thought! I assume the rest of our bench goes like this: McRoberts Durham Hunter Phinisee Thompson

I feel confident in IU getting Keion, but I think we are going to have to wait. Michigan State and North Carolina are also appealing. I don't think he fits at Kentucky. However, I see TJD committing by the end of the month.

It had to have been the scrimmage....

Man could you imagine this team with a somewhat healthy De'Ron. He would be awesome off the bench.

No he was there! Not sure who the PA was.
