Popular Post WayneFleekHoosier Posted May 9, 2017 Popular Post Posted May 9, 2017 I read Rojo is seriously considering the JBJ route. Play and develop in the D league. This notion is sickening to me to be honest. Might as well recruit like Duke and Kentucky because it seems no one wants the glory of playing college basketball anymore. Those D league games are pathetic. Troy and Yogi making it to the league is a testament to them. But it is a disservice to other players thinking they will have the same successes. I understand the Euro leagues for financial purposes but that money is always there. Our days of college basketball are fading and the one and done rule is helping to kill it.

drewheck Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Where would he go? He didn't graduate. Just have a feeling hes gone probably to test out the d league or europe he checked out midway through the season looked like hes had enough college i dont have any insider info but the lack of an announcement of withdrawing from the draft makes me think hes gone he got feedback and didnt get a combine invite and still hasnt said anything makes me think hes goneSent from my SM-G900R6 using BtownBanners mobile app Hoosierfan2017 1 Quote

Signed, A very frustrated college basketball fan Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners I'm with you! Very frustrated is putting it lightly and I'm only afraid it will get worse. Unless they put a few new rules into place. This is only my guess but Someone sold the Blackmons on the D league route. I mean seriously, where is a kid with those aspirations going to benefit the most from? One more year of college basketball, or getting paid in the D league/Euro??? Yes, I know what my answer is but is it only because I'm selfish and wanted him back bc it would make IUBB better now. Think about it, if you're in JBJ's shoes. Degree in hand, a few knee injuries already, etc etc. what would you do? Can't blame him at all! Was not going to benefit him personally to return for 1 more seasonSent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Stromboli 1 Quote

Could see him having Troy Williams-type success. Rojo hasn't proven anything to think he could ever be a NBA player. Why not come back and try to raise your personal stock on a national platform if you think you are deserving. And possibly he will. I think the NBA craze on drafting on potential is deleterious to their league and college basketball. Get rid of one and done and make kids plsy 3 years of college basketball or go to NBA/DLeague right away. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners IUsafety 1 Quote
Hoosierfan2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Dudes leaving college early for the D League... That's wild. Sure they get "paid" but the D League lifestyle sucks. Imo playing at a school like IU would be preferable to being in the D League. If you can go overseas and make several hundred thousand then by all means go get your money, but the D League.. Nahhh. I have to wonder how much development actually happens down there. All the players are looking to shine to get a call up so there probably isn't much semblance of team basketball. It's every man for himself there. Alford Bailey 1 Quote
recker222000 Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Where would he go? He didn't graduate. You would be surprised. These guys mostly all think they can play in the nba today. I think alot are fine starting in the D league. Honestly I would not be shocked if he left.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk Hoosierfan2017 1 Quote

You would think he would have withdrawn by if if he was coming back. I always thought we would end up with a grant to give. Though before i thought it would be due to a transfer.

If we are going to have the guys that are focused on getting in the NBA then I would rather have the guys that are almost locks to be first round picks like Kentucky.

goonaha Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Save the hysterics for when a decision is actually made. No point in declaring college basketball dead because a kid left a year early instead of playing for a coach he doesn't know. LamarCheeks, Andrew_114, moyemayhem and 2 others 5 Quote
