Player and Recruit Retention News/Discussion & Potential Transfers

[mdn82 25,456]

Sure. I was just told he was somewhat homesick in Dec. Was told to watch that one, then Crean is gone and Mom loved Crean. 

Not necessarily. He could just love IU and is committed to being here regardless of who coaches. I can tell you I love my boss but love my job just as much. I would be committed to my job regardless of who my boss was. Could be something like that. 
He may know something about coaching search but it could just as easily be he loves IU regardless of who coaches him.

I was going off of what Pap was saying in this quote. This was known for a while he was most likely to transfer a while back. Also, he was a Crean guy. Most thought when Crean was fired he was transferring. It isn't as much about liking IU that I was referring to.

I'm hoping if Green can return, he can beat out Newkirk to be the starting point guard next season.

I think he has a good shot at it. The new coach won't be beholden to any promises that were made to the players during their recruitments, so I think we'll see the best players at each position get the most playing time.

There is a certain player who shall remain nameless that I wouldn't mind if he left after this season, but maybe a new coach could light a fire under him.

Given Newkirk's play towards the end of the year, he'll be a pretty good piece going forward.  A core of Newkirk, Green, Morgan, Davis, Moore, and Smith should be pretty good to build with.

If we can hold on to Bryant and Johnson, then we could be towards the top of the B1G.

Updated OP with Bryant rumors and fact some players are eligible for Grad transfer.

I'll say it. I would not feel bad at all if JBJ is not back.

I would not feel bad if the JBj of the past was not back.
I am extremely curious to see what a new JBj could be.

This is where I am. Who knows how good or bad these players actually are? The coach was atrocious. JBJ under Donovan intrigues me to the point where I wouldn't mind to see him back

[Brass Cannon 24,064]

I wonder if gelon transfers. He sorta made sense for Creans gimmick offense not sure he will work in somebody else's system. 

[Hoosier Guy 7,472]

I think Gelon could transfer. I don't think he would play at all over anyone next year

[Trish 11,408]

Gelon needs to go, for his own sake.

MSB can stay, IMO. He cares and gives 100%. He values the opportunity he has been given. #freetimpriller

[Hoosier Guy 7,472]

I wonder if Tim Priller will get the chance to play PG next year lol. Or is that just a Crean thing?

[HoosiersLoveBanners 797]

Keeping Davis is huge for next year. I think he will develop very nicely!

[bleedhoosier 3,627]

Newkirk was fairly valuable down the stretch. That's one hell of a 6th man.

 

I mean, I'm suggesting we throw Morgan a stack to stay for next year, lol. Him/Davis/Bryant together? Yes plzz

Why? That doesn't match anything having to do with his name. I'm confused.

If you look at the# portion, it tells you who MSB is

Long running joke about a crazy poster that called him Middle School Bob and said he could take 5 thugs at once

I do believe it stands for Middle School Bob. Now why that is not sure I remember how that came about.
