Player and Recruit Retention News/Discussion & Potential Transfers

[Hoosierfan2017 19,882]

Honestly IDC how much this may make people question me, but I expect a big year from Freddie McSwain. How much he improved this year at the end and that video they posted he even has a floater he is working on. He has no hope of a consistent 3 game, but he could definitely fill a stronger, better defender type of Troy Williams role. Not that he is better or anything just saying the role Troy played in our offense. Archie's offense is designed for guys like him to over achieve and he is hungry. You can see it. I will be the first on the band wagon.

I can't see any way that Freddie plays the same kind of role as Troy did, they have completely different games. He's big and strong though so I think he could do some damage banging in the post for 15-20 minutes a night.

If everyone besides OG comes back and we keep Justin Smith, I don't expect McSwain to play honestly. Only time I could see it is if both bigs are in foul trouble

Gelon takes up 3 more years of a scholarship roster spot.

I understand that. But Creaning is a part of our Culture I want to get away from as quickly as possible. And letting Priller go play somewhere else is a lot less harsh than Creaning Gelon.

I think it depends on how his offseason goes. He didn't get to campus until the start of the fall semester last year so he missed out on the summer workouts. He has nice athleticism, now we wait and see if he can get some basketball ability to match it.

Is Creaning Crean's players still a Creaning??  I think just this once we have some awkwardness in that regard, but CAM has said he'd rather leave a few schollys open for flexibility. It's something that may affect us next year but not going forward.

Priller needs to stay!!!!

Good to the video of CAM working out the bigs. Toughen them up coach!

I honestly think OG is the only player that leaves.

No question about it. James and Bryant are back this up-coming season. Archie is pitching a vision and the boys are buying.

 

EDIT: As for the others mentioning Priller getting Crean'd. It's his senior season, he may as well stay unless he's graduating this summer. Gelon needs to go play division II basketball where he belongs. A nice little NAIA school would be a good fit.

Besides them showing games, ESPN is becoming irrelevant!

And now..... They're side tracking our beauty IU grad Sage.
I agree with you. ESPN-PC is an irrelevant joke.
Hope she finds a better gig. She's definitely worthy of something better.

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

I think Archie could do amazing things with Freddie. Seems like the type of player he would have at Dayton

My same thoughts with Josh as well.

Agreed. I like to watch sports to get away from politics but ESPN has been incredibly political recently. 

[Baltimore Hoosier 986]

ESPN has turned into a liberal rag.

[indianaranger 108]

Do not watch ESPN anymore only when a college game is on just like watching MSNBC otherwise.

Not officially but if he decided to stay committed after he talks with CAM his spot on the team is guaranteed

Seems like a bit of a gray area.  If he's formally asked for his release that to me says he wants to explore other options so we simply thank him and honor his request.  Seems to me that with  the recruit initiating a request for a release, the recruit is no longer in control of the situation and IU holds all the aces.

If we end up not having a spot for him I won't feel too bad about it honestly. He wanted out of his NLI so if he decides later on that he still wants to come here but we don't have an open scholarship that's on him.

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

Would CAM start repairing our relationship with Indiana HS coaches by creaning an Indiana kid?

I think their issue was Creaning in general

[BDMedema 28]

Seems like the right place to ask this- Is JBJ prohibited from team activities given his current draft status?
