Popular Post Stromboli Posted April 25, 2017 Popular Post Posted April 25, 2017 RoJo is coming back, presumably. JBJ, I really have no idea. I really like him, and almost hope that he gets his best opportunity to play professionally, be it NBA, D league, or overseas. I don't think anyone else can match his production (duh), but I wouldn't hate to see some of the young guns get some time. Remember, CuJo is one smooth operator out there, and was a very high recruit. He lost his mojo after Kansas, but there's some untapped potential there. I really hope that he plans on coming back, because I could see him having a great career at IU still. Obviously RoJo can play SG well, too, and we'd all like to see AD headfake his way to the hoop a couple times. So while I'd miss JBJ, I don't think losing him would be disastrous for the team. Thomas is a different story. He wants to play at the next level, and I'm assuming that he missed the banquet and other team events because he is off training with some specialist for the pre-draft stuff. Huge chance we lose him, and he will leave a huge hole on the roster. Given CAM's full court press to keep all three recruits, I think the only logical conclusion is that TB and JBJ have indicated that they intend to leave. Remember, prior to Clifton reaffirming his commitment, he said he just wanted to talk with Archie to make sure Archie didn't intend to red-shirt him. We all recognize that even a redshirt takes a scholly, but given the subsequent affirmation of the commitment, Archie must have informed Clifton that there's a place on the team for Clifton next year. Using the best information available now, that's my guess. On one hand, we are losing all of our current stars. On the other hand, no one is leaving the team for a different NCAA team. And the fan in me sees a team with no stars on it, and a new coach, with a decently balanced roster full of guys that want to play together. And this is certainly not a team bereft of talent, either. A top seven of Deron, Juwan, Collin, RoJo, Newkirk, Justin Smith, and whichever guard emerges will be good enough, and better than any roster Archie has had before.

A top seven of Deron, Juwan, Collin, RoJo, Newkirk, Justin Smith, and whichever guard emerges will be good enough, and better than any roster Archie has had before. Very well put. Let's not forget the flashes both Jones and Green displayed last season. Both will be stars, and without JBJ, we are in really good shape with what we bring back in 4 guards (Green, Jones, Newkirk, and presumably RoJo). Morgan, Hartman, and Smith will be a good trio at the 3/4 spot, with RoJo able to fill in at the 3 if needed because of his defense. The main hole is depth at he 5 spot. Davis is a very talented big man, but can't play every second along with with being foul prone. I have a lot of faith next season, but also understand there will be some limitations.

As far as losing stars -- those stars got us to 18-16, 7-11 last season. So I say let's get the roster set, and let's get going on 2017-18. Archie's still got some good material to work with and almost certainly can do better than 18-16 and 7-11. Tom White 1 Quote

Popular Post Stuhoo Posted April 25, 2017 Popular Post Posted April 25, 2017 Apparently Alex Bozich from Inside the Hall had a sit-down with Archie and the assistants today. No article yet, but kudos to Alex for some serious meat in his tweets: Alex Bozich @insidethehall Miller: "I think taking care of the basketball is a huge thing. Not just by your point guard or perimeter, everyone has to value the ball." Alex Bozich @insidethehall Miller also said that Collin Hartman will be in Bloomington all summer: "Everything I was told about Collin is true." #iubb Alex Bozich @insidethehall More from Archie Miller on Juwan Morgan: "He fits how we play." #iubb Alex Bozich @insidethehall One of the main reasons Flint wanted to get back into coaching: "The kids give you energy. I missed that last year." #iubb Alex Bozich @insidethehall 2m2 minutes ago One thing Flint and John Calipari agree on when it comes to building a team: "Without a post presence, you're a little bit of a fraud." Alex Bozich @insidethehall 2m2 minutes ago Keys to winning, according to Flint: Defense, rebounding and taking care of the ball. #iubb Alex Bozich @insidethehall 3m3 minutes ago Bruiser Flint says he came to Indiana because of Archie Miller and his belief that Miller will get things done in Bloomington. #iubb Alex Bozich @insidethehall 4m4 minutes ago Schilling on John Calipari, who he worked for at UMass and Memphis as well as New Jersey: "Not a more loyal guy in the business." #iubb Alex Bozich @insidethehall 5m5 minutes ago Schilling said Arizona coach Sean Miller reached out to him to gauge interest in coming to work with Archie and things went from there. Alex Bozich @insidethehall 5m5 minutes ago Ed Schilling on the chance to come back to the state: "It's been terrific. This is home for me." #iubb Alex Bozich @insidethehall 6m6 minutes ago Miller said that if all of IU's perimeter guys are back, the backcourt should be talented and deep. #iubb Alex Bozich @insidethehall 7m7 minutes ago Tom Ostrom said one takeaway from visiting coaches around the state is that most of them want IU to do well. #iubb Alex Bozich @insidethehall 8m8 minutes ago In terms of future scheduling, Miller mentioned finding "perfect fits" the key. Also said IU needs to be on marquee stage. #iubb Alex Bozich @insidethehall 9m9 minutes ago Miller said he doesn't anticipate Indiana's scholarship situation being a big challenge. Expects situation to sort itself out. #iubb Alex Bozich @insidethehall 11m11 minutes ago Miller said one of the keys with De'Ron Davis is getting his body and motor right. "He has great hands and feet." #iubb Alex Bozich @insidethehall 13m13 minutes ago Miller said Juwan Morgan "has a chance to be a special player" and is a "breakout candidate." #iubb Alex Bozich @insidethehall 13m13 minutes ago Miller called James Blackmon Jr. "the best shooter I've been around." Also said Robert Johnson has shot it well this spring. #iubb Alex Bozich @insidethehall 14m14 minutes ago Miller said Devonte Green reminds him of some guys he coached at Dayton in that he's physical and can get the ball to the rim. #iubb Alex Bozich @insidethehall 14m14 minutes ago Miller said De'Ron Davis should be one of the most improved players in college basketball next season. Will stay in Bloomington all summer. Alex Bozich @insidethehall 15m15 minutes ago Archie Miller said Collin Hartman has been available for workouts this spring, but they've kept him away from contact. #iubb Alex Bozich @insidethehall 16m16 minutes ago Had a chance to meet with Archie Miller, Tom Ostrom, Ed Schilling and Brusier Flint today.

I think it's more likely that he didn't want to go 0fer on his first incoming class while at IU. That could cause headaches down the road. I think JBJ is gone, with promises to momma Blackmon. TB is difficult to gauge. He seems to really enjoy college and his teammates. I could see him coming back for his junior year. If that happens it will be interesting to see who comes off scholarship.

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 In the collection of Bozich tweets Stuhoo provided there's specific mention of JBJ and Johnson but nothing regarding TB. Is that an unintended (or maybe intended) subtle message that JBJ and Johnson are both returning and TB is gone? mdn82 1 Quote
