Meeting will Al as well before being released from NLI. Not sure where we are pulling the extra scholarships from... I'm getting the vibe everyone but OG is coming back.

Durham meeting set for Friday per Jordan Wells.

Seems to me that by Monday mid-day, we will have a pretty good idea of what next year's roster will look like.

Archie said they will announce who is leaving and staying at one time. 

[Hoosier DaDa]

This might not be a popular opinion but CAM didn't recruit Gelon or Priller.  If the 3 recruits for this year decide to honor their LOIs and OG is the only one leaving then these guys got to go.  I rather have the recruits sitting on the bench with the potential to actually playing and helping us in the upcoming years.  Let's face it Gelon and Priller should of never gotten a scholarship to play at Indiana.  CAM is in a difficult situation here to no fault of his own, but I think this would be best for the future of IU Basketball.

I'm most worried about keeping Smith. He would fit in so well here.

Especially with the current roster, assuming OG leaves. We really don't have a long/athletic wing. We've got bigs and combo guards, and guys like Hartman and Morgan who can play some wing, but we don't have that long guy, athletic "Troy type" guys which is a spot every team needs.

From Rick Bozich

Just finished an hour visit with #iubb coach Archie Miller in a "columnist roundtable." I'll share a few highlights before I start writing.

My sense is that other than the guys making NBA decisions, Miller expects remaining players to return next season.

Miller said he plans to make announcement on entire staff as a group. Wants #iubb to be cutting edge on social media like Ohio State fball.

Finally, it won't be next season, but I'd look for an #iubb series against Arizona. Would be Tucson & Bloomington, not neutral sites.

To me the order of the visits is no coincidence. Smith gets the first shot at any open slot, Durham gets second shot, and Moore gets the last shot.

[Hoosier Guy]

Everyone could come back because they see that run happening next year. Since IU now has a coach, that run could very well happen

If I was forced to choose 1 I'd take Moore. I don't think Durham will turn into much and Smith just doesn't impress me. Moore has the potential to turn into something special imo.

[Hoosier Guy]

With that being said, I still think OG is gone. But he'll be the only one

Love Hoosier Guy predictions

Not really cause they didn't grant it. He still has first dibs.

Ahh I didn't know that. Makes sense that Archie wants to talk to all of them before granting their releases.

Billy is coming! :)

 

Hoosier Guy is my guy. He was a vital member of the tank family.

[Hoosier Guy]

I'm just positive with IU in general now because they finally have a coach. It's gonna be great with Archie at the helm

I would really like to see an Arizona home/home in rotation with the ACC challenge opponent.

ACC (road)
Zona (home)
Butler or ND
UL

Add one of Duke, UNC, and KU to the above to make a solid core of annual games.

No way! Justin Smith is far and away the best prospect for me.
MUCH better athlete. Much better high school program and competition level. Much better defensive potential.

I look for IU to play UK in the next couple years as well
