WayneFleekHoosier Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 We are left with hungry players trying to prove themselves. I'll take it. See where the chips fall and hope Archie can really recruit to get the kind of talent IU really needs. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Hoosierfan2017, GloryDays, IUsafety and 4 others 7 Quote

Stuhoo Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 We have enough athleticism to win (Newkirk, Smith, McSwain, Morgan). We have enough shooters to win (RoJo, CuJo, Collin) We have enough toughness to win (RoJo, DeVonte, Juwan, Collin) We have enough post presence to win, I hope...

Brass Cannon Posted May 8, 2017 Author Posted May 8, 2017 Heres my main question. JBJ could literally have gotten a more lukewarm reception from the NBA scouts. So seems like nothing was going to deter him. Why not just hire an agent from the get go? I guess maybe deep down he thought he might come back but couldn't bring himself to do so. But still odd to me. Quote

mdn82 Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Well, shucks. I really like JBJ. You know something interesting, the nice things CAM said about JBJ during the press conference. I'll assume he had some inkling of how JBJ was leaning, and he was complimentary anyway. Pretty obvious contrast to ignoring TB and others. I think JBJ is a great guy that makes a good impression on those around him. RoJo to be featured, with lots of minutes for the young guns to step up. It will be interesting to see who emerges. James does have a brother coming up that will be highly ranked. Miller probably had a good idea but had to play the game.

VeevlandBrowns Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 IU might have been "better" with Blackmon this year on the offensive end, but it has to be about a larger picture than that. Miller wants to get his culture established and his MO has been that you check in his program. Maybe he'd have gotten Blackmon to buy in but the evidence suggests that would be a tough sell. So are you better off starting over in the backcourt? I think there's a good argument that you are, in terms of getting the program where Miller wants it to be in a quicker time frame. Honestly, if all these guys had returned, yes, they would have been more talented, deeper, etc. and probably been able to win a few more games just based on that. I'm not sure Miller would have been able to get his thing going in earnest, though, and as a new coach that would be a very tough situation to go through. Be safe, do well bud. Tom White 1 Quote

Hoosierfan2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 I think we could be a sweet 16 team next year. At the very least we'll be a tournament team. Im really excited to see what Archie can do with this bunch. ALASKA HOOSIER and Str8Hoosiers 2 Quote

maharkn Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Could see blackmon playing for the rockets. Doesn't have to play much defence and could stand around the perimeter and shoot 3s Sent from my XT1650 using BtownBanners mobile app Brass Cannon and Townie 2 Quote

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.
