Even if we give him the scholarship we will still have 5 next year.

I would like to see the breakdown of 4 year graduates and kids leaving early for the NBA. Not sure if my calculations are exact.

 

Zeller, Oladipo, Vonleh, Blackmon Jr., OG and Bryant are the kids leaving early for the NBA. 7 left early (17%) leaving just ~41% that stayed at IU for 4 years and graduated.

You forgot OG.

You forgot OG.

I knew I was forgetting someone. Thanks

I'm excited about this Gelon news for a few reasons:
-Gelon can go and actually play somewhere
-It frees up a scholarship that was essentially being used on a walk-on quality player
-Our first glimpse at how CAM will approach these "extra" scholarships. We will be able to see if he will get offer happy like Crean used to do. I'm hoping CAM does his due diligence and doesn't force an offer because there's an opening.

I think they already had someone in mind.

Next year still able to be a five man class.

I'll be shocked if we Don't add someone.

Excited about our prospects.

I don't think we can give a one year scholarship now because of the Student Bill of Rights. If we gave McBob a scholarship, wouldn't he then be entitled to one for his remaining years of eligibility? Not sure how that works now.

I'm pretty sure the Student Bill of Rights, doesn't pertain to maintaining team participation. Just that you're guaranteed 4 years of paid schooling and athletic prowess won't change that if you decide to become a non-athlete student, you still get paid schooling.

I'd say, if you take a 3rd year student, never on scholarship here, and say, here's a free year, it won't be the same as offering it to a Freshman recruit.

I think we should try and find a grad transfer post player so that way we have at least some size to back up Davis because that is the one area I think the roster is lacking imo.

CAM needs to go after the highest rated Indiana kid left in the 2017 class for the last spot. Inside out. All in for Bowen.(sarcasm button)

It doesn't look like there are any accomplished 'bigs' out there. 

MiKyle Mcintosh looks like the best front court prospect ar 6'7". Grad transfer 12.5 ppg and 5.6 reb.

Would anyone be happy about a 5ppg a game scorer unknown like Ziesloft, big, if one was around?

It seems that's where he's transferring from.

Lol. I thought about bringing this up too.
Kid is a scorer and we could use some scoring but.......I'm not going to entertain this thought any further.

Is Tremont Waters in play at all?

Heard today he is headed to Western Kentucky. I was told his dad is worse than Ball's dad without the talent of Ball

Another move would be if there is no high impact player then give the scholly to Zach for a year

Somewhat off schedule but I wonder how many coaches shy away from kids with parents like this going forward. I bet some won't care but some that wouldn't have before will shy away from this now.
