My favorite part of that video is they posted it on FB as "a peak into Monday's Bigs workout", and they were actually working on post moves, etc. While I'm certainly fine with players rounding out their their skills and adding elements to their games, it's refreshing that I feel like we're getting back to some basics of the game. 

I kept trying to find Green, Cujo or Rojo in the video but then I saw the Facebook post about it being a "Bigs workout" too. I love it. There were times I wondered if Crean even knew that we had bigs on the team. It's nice seeing Archie working them out and focusing on post drills, especially so soon. 

TB was probably so confused when Archie didn't have him working on his perimeter game.

I honestly think OG is the only player that leaves.

God i really hope Clifton Moore doesn't go to Northwestern feeling that would be a very frustrating sight to behold 

[Brass Cannon 25,452]

I am genuinely surprised that Archie didn't have to spend the first 6 weeks in a classroom teaching basic fundamentals verbally before even attempting to go out to a court

Was the video bigs only, or at least guys who will fulfill the bigs positions. That might be why you saw literally no guards. Also Al Durham liked the video. Not that it means anything, just an observation.

My guess is Al still wants to come to IU tbh. He needs a spot to open up though. And actually I get the feeling he needs 3 spots to open up which I am not sure happens.

Yeah it looks like it was just the bigs. I saw it first on Instagram and they didn't say anything about who was practicing but the Facebook post said it was a bigs workout. I think Durham stays. He's not going to get any better offers than us in all likelihood and he always seemed like he really liked IU.

It's not up to Durham at this point

Al wouldn't need any spots to open up if he wanted to come. His signed LOI guarantees his spot on the team if he chose to come. Someone on the current roster would have to go

If OG leaves, all the other guys from last year stay, and Smith comes does that give us zero open spots?

He's been released from that LOI though hasn't he?

Not officially but if he decided to stay committed after he talks with CAM his spot on the team is guaranteed

Interesting. Guess Gelon and Priller should be worried. 

[bhaggard89 869]

Set Priller packing. We need to stop wasting scholarships

I'm going to be upset if we force Priller out.

Priller has had his "15 minutes"... obviously good kid, great attitude; but we need players who will actually contribute on a consistent basis, not just be a human victory cigar.

time to be a big boy program again...

Honestly IDC how much this may make people question me, but I expect a big year from Freddie McSwain. How much he improved this year at the end and that video they posted he even has a floater he is working on. He has no hope of a consistent 3 game, but he could definitely fill a stronger, better defender type of Troy Williams role. Not that he is better or anything just saying the role Troy played in our offense. Archie's offense is designed for guys like him to over achieve and he is hungry. You can see it. I will be the first on the band wagon.

Durham has a spot at GT if he wants it so I think that is where he goes.

Guy #13 on the roster is almost never going to get any playing time regardless of who it is though, #14 if you want to count McRoberts. I don't see a reason to send a good kid packing just so someone else can come and take his seat on the bench. He only has one year left anyway. If anyone has to go I'd rather it be Gelon because he's here for 3 more years. Ideally I'd like us to avoid starting out the new regime with Spring Creaning.

I'd rather Crean Priller because he can graduate and play somewhere next year. Gelon would have to sit out
