Hurryin'Hoosier317 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 What's the inside scoop with our players in terms of who's staying and leaving. Is OG gone? Bryant? Blackmon? I haven't heard much of late. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
mdn82 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Actually mile pmd me and said Zeller was going to North Carolina and that he didn't know what happened. I guess he was sort of right since he called IU to get him early on and they eventually got him.Wow didn't know that. He had told me IU like a week before the decision.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app He told me the same thing. He later said that in the days leading up to the announcement, Cody got cold feet and was having second thoughts. He compared it to a groom before the wedding. mdn82 1 Quote

I have a hard time accepting Collins jumping from NW to IU. Not related to his coaching abilities just accepting the fact that he would move from one B1G to another. Apart from that... Crean actually out-coached him last weekend. Not sure he's the guy... he's kind of in the middle of his own late-season swoon, as well. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
Brass Cannon Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Ok seriously somebody sell me on Collins what has he done to show he can build a winner. Never won anything and never built an elite defense? He plays cupcakes and the fades down the stretch. Happydaze, AKHoosier, RobPoff and 1 other 4 Quote
bleedhoosier Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 I think some on here are going to need to prep themselves mentally if Donovan isn't the guy. We can still bring IU back to the top of the league CONSISTENTLY with the next tier. I want it to be the "homerun" but let's be aware that someone like Archie or Holtmann (haven't seen him mentioned much lately) could be the "next homerun". If u give me someone with strong fundamentals, I'm going to be pleased.

That being said, I don't think he should be considered for the IU job at this time. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

He plays cupcakes and the fades down the stretch. He is about to do something no coach has done in northwestern's 112 year basketball history. Make the tournament. I would need more years before i could label him never being able to build an elite defense or that he fades down the stretch. 4 years isn't enough for me to say one way or another if he will be a great coach or an average coach. But taking northwestern to the tournament is pretty impressive no matter how you look at it Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners ALASKA HOOSIER, Hoosierfan2017 and IU Hoosier41 3 Quote

Dillion Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Nah... Gainesville is not a retirement spot.Only one house at a time in a college town!Maybe Dillon the poster from last night can find a realtor that has been sleeping with Lyonel Anderson for the scoop!

I really wish We had advanced statistics going back years. Would be interesting to see where the greats stood in the 60s 70s and 80s Quote

8bucks Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 On 247 one poster said a new poster came on and broke the Sampson hire before it happened so anything is possible. Imo there is enough rumors that make it plausible but would definitely be hesitant to believe anything from posters on the Internet lol. I think we have all met enough bull s ers in life to know not to trust people we dont know Sent from my SM-G920V using BtownBanners mobile appYeah and the guy that posted that about the Sampson info from a newbie is a really smart guy.
