All I know is I am going to trust Devries who has coached for 20 years in the college game over my opinion or any other person on a message board

LOL! I would hope your great rim protector would block more than 0.8 a game. Reed Bailey 18.3, 6.1, 0.8 Also I understand the game of basketball and don't need a bunch of nerds telling me who is a better player.

The guy who averaged 5.1 pts, 4.5 rebs, and 0.8 blocks a game feel the huge whole. LOL!

Watching a lot of basketball I really don't see many players who are just a great individual defenders. I think most of the really good defensive teams are good because of the defensive scheme. It seems to me most of Devries teams have been pretty good on the defensive end.

I would take Bailey over Fredricko or Miller. I don't understand your fixation with mediocre P5 players I will take a more productive mid major over a less productive P5 players any day if the week.

Am I reading correctly that you think the situation that Woodson took over was harder than Davis? LOL! Mike Davis had the hardest job in the history of college basketball for taking over for a fired Bob Knight.

We might not have great individual defenders but hopefully we can be a good team defense. I also heard Wilkerson's high school coach talking about Wilkerson being a very good defender and was named the states best defender. He thinks that Wilkerson will be a very good defender at IU

Isn't Cody Zeller joining the program in some capacity

For such a bad portal class IU is ranked 8th on 247 and 9th on ON3

Will the 3 recruiters do much on the court coaching or are they solely in recruiting roles.

I am still watching because they wearing the Indiana Hoosier uniform. Once they stop representing IU then I will stop watching

Isn't it time for you to get some new material

That same team where there best player Lanier was from a mid major N. Florida and was recruited by Clark

This fan base is so bi polar We have complained for years about our roster construction under Woodson and that we played to many big me. Now we are complaining about our roster construction under a brand new coach because there aren't enough big men. He is a new coach so why not see how he does before making judgments on his roster construction and how fast we hired assistant coaches. We all look at this next year but coaches have to look at more than 1 year down the road when it comes to these things. He could have quickly hired assistants but maybe he wanted to get these guys to make sure they will be the right fit.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this topic because I don't agree with this opinion at all

Where is he from

I don't think anyone is saying they would watch pick up games but the point is that the University is what sells and not individual players. It isn't about players having pro aspirations because that has always been the case. The point is that the college players need the University more than the University needing the individual player. For these players to make the most they can they go to teams like Duke rather than playing in the G League

I totally disagree with that statement. If all the top players left college basketball and the top level players were low to mid major players and they played at IU or UK the fans would still fill the arena. If those teams won and went far on the tournament the fans couldn't care less where these players were ranked. I have not watched one second of a G league game or the OTE teams because I couldn't care less about those teams. I don't go watch the Indianapolis Indians and I live a half hour or less away from the stadium.

So you think that Cooper Flag would have made more money playing for the Indiana Mad Ants than playing at Duke LOL!

I was at your #5 I was at the 94 playoff clincher vs Orlando. The previous best I saw was vs Boston in game 4 of the best of 5 series.where Chuck Person went crazy in the 4th to get the win.

Not if it isn't affiliated with IU. If it is the Indiana basketball club sponsored by Andy Mohr then a lot will lose interest. So how many G league games do you watch. Did you watch the Overtime elite teams play

The thing is that the mid major might better players to start with but they will move up in a year or two. The mid major advantage was that they had older team with seniors and were able to compete better with major programs but that is gone now.

I was still in the arena but was to far up to see what started the altercation after the game

Like UF roster that won a championship and this is where their starters came from. It must be miserable to always look at things in a negative light especially in the off season. Belmont Iona FAU Australia Africa

I was at the Pacers game tonight and that was the best game I have ever seen in person
