Guarantee it.

Same goes for Clifton; if he re-commits, it is with an assurance that there is an open spot for him. There has to be.

 

Archie seems like the type of coach that if all of our guys said they were coming back he likely would've been upfront with our recruits so they could find another place to go. He just doesn't seem like the kind of guy that is going to get them all to recommit and then deal with it later. I'm assuming the rumors of Gelon transferring are true. I don't think Moore will be a Hoosier so my best guess is OG leaves and Gelon transfer which gets us to our magic number.

You have to believe that Archie is not at all concerened about the apparent over signing.  Surely Smith's parents and probably Durham's parents as well raised that issue in their one on one meetings and received satisfactory answers.

I believe it was Wayne that raised the point that JBJ has probably already mentally checked out of IU and is gone regardless of what he hears from the NBA people.  I'm not that confident about TB leaving but think the chances are around 60-40 that he does leave.  And, IMO we're going to see a transfer from either Gelon or CuJo. 

I would be real surprised if someone from the current team excluding JBJ and TB leave. JMO

This is totally based off of watching highlight videos, but Smith's game reminds me of Josh Hart from Villanova. Even if he can become a poor man's Hart he'll be really, really good.

I like this video from the ITH article.  It shows his possessions on missed shots, too, which really helps get an idea for how he plays.

I wish they would let kids go straight out of highschool or make them play 3.Just my opinion but really think the one and done thing has hurt the college game.

If they did that, what would Cal do to field a team?

[Hoosierfan2017 21,331]

Justin Smith averaged just under 3 dunks a game last year. Very nice.

Josh / Green

Rojo / Al

James / Smith

Collin / Morgan

Thomas / Davis

 

10 man rotation. I don't get paid enough to help Archie out this much.

Yeah I'm wondering if I can be the new bench hype man since Lyonel is leaving.

The biggest thing I took from this was that he attacks the glass hard for rebounds. Driving can use some work. He tends to drive himself into a corner at times, but that's something Archie can fix. I'm excited to see him next year!

Knowing Cal he would just offer them more money on their 1 yr UK contract.

I (and many people I think) agree. But it would difficult to pull off. The rule that says they need to be 19 to be in the draft is an NBA rule, right? And the NCAA would have to make the 3 year rule.
The NCAA can't change the draft rules and the NBA can't make college requirements. If they'd work together it'd be great but I don't know if it would happen.

The NBA is the only organization that determines the rules for eligibility that would be necessary for an athlete to enter their draft. They can set the age at 18, 19, 20, or 25 if they wanted (assuming they got past any lawsuits that were filed). The NCAA has no say in the matter, and could never make a rule that prohibits a student from leaving college and working professionally for another organization.

Been away for a few days.. Have Moore or Smith commited to stay at IU?

Interesting. I thought the NCAA would have some say in how athletic scholarships can be given in terms of eligibility but I guess not.

Smith has recommitted, no word on Moore yet,
