Player and Recruit Retention News/Discussion & Potential Transfers

[recker222000]

JBJ and TB gone to pro options? I don't know where other scholarships open up. I don't see Grant leaving IU.

I think jbj is gone for sure and bryant 75% gone.

Also worth mentioning.

Our 3 recruits really like one another, talk regularly, and are excited to be Hoosiers. All seem to come from good families. All 3 will be easy to root for.

Just hope we have enough firepower.

Am I correct that we are currently three over the limit of 13?  Take OG out of the mix and that leaves us two over.  My fear is that the writing is on the wall and TB and JBJ aren't coming back.  

Agreed.

I've been away all evening so I'm just now seeing the news. This is great stuff, I wasn't expecting Moore to stick with us. Archie was able to get three guys he didnt have relationships with to reaffirm their commitments when they could've picked from a number of different schools. He also convinced Collin to come back after he seemed like he was well on his way to moving on with his life. I might be jumping the gun, but I feel really good about Archie being able to recruit at a high enough level to compete for big ten and national championships.

Is a redshirt a possibility with Moore now? The best case scenario would be for TB to return for a roster looking something like..

Green, Newkirk
Johnson, Jones, Durham
Morgan, Smith
Hartman, McSwain
Bryant, Davis

That's a top 5 conference starting 5 with a few solid backups. If one of Smith, Jones, or Durham can be a consistent contributor off the bench a top 3 finish isn't out of the question.

None of that matters/helps with the scholarship situation. A RS takes up a scholarship... so putting a kid "on hold" for a year doesn't solve the 13 scholarship limit issue... 13 schollies and 15 kids... I'm sure Arch has an idea how this will work out, but I fear we lose a cog in the machine (TB, JBJ) rather than Gelon or MSB...

Why would you want any of the Crean players?

So you don't want to field a team the next couple years?

Soooo....we should revoke Juwan Morgan and DeRon Davis's scholarships?

In my opinion...Your post sucked.

Yes, but he won't.  We'll see him next year giving his senior speech and AH will be going bonkers for him.

Well, someone finally proved my 1st grade teacher wrong. There is such a thing as a stupid question.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Archie knows. ... He has to know who's staying and who's going or have a very, very good indication of such. Otherwise, he would've just let Moore or Durham go. They wanted out of their LOIs and if we were to remain oversigned, the easy thing would be to just release them. But he worked hard to keep them. That tells me he's pretty hip to the scholly situation and knows how it will play out.

Is there any chance someone goes to a "prep" school for a year?

I've also wondered about a player like Gelon transferring to a Jr college and then coming back after he has had a chance to hone his skills for a year or two.

[the possum]

Why do people keep saying the Priller and Gelon need to go? Under good leadership he can develop and the kind of role that Priller fills is invaluable to a team, but not many of you would know anything about that. When Crean finally let the thriller on the floor he was the most aggressive player we had all night. I would say that Bryant and Johnson need to go and develop the correct attitude and then return.

The last two spots will open when JBj and/or TB goes pro, and/or when current players transfer away permanently. The most likely scenario by far is that both JBj and TB go pro.

*whispers* I've kind of felt that way about Gelon for a while. We don't have much shooting signed long term.

Because they're not division I basketball players. We play division 1 basketball here at Indiana.
