What I like about BTN is the analysts aren't afraid to criticize players or coaches

It's been long enough since the firing and the hiring that you'd think there would be rumors or leaks if any of the guys were thinking of transferring.  Pretty hard to keep that kind of thing under wraps for such a long period of time.

That probably means Rojo is transferring to UNC.

"RoJo, as expected, will be playing next season for coach Billy Donovan and the Oklahoma City Thunder."

[Brass Cannon]

If Rojo stays I'd expect Cujo to stay. They seemed pretty tight. 

We have a solid starting line up now at least.

No way! Justin Smith is far and away the best prospect for me.
MUCH better athlete. Much better high school program and competition level. Much better defensive potential.

 

Yes way. I think Moore's ceiling is much high than Smith's and he is the better overall prospect. We've had plenty of "much better athletes" so that doesn't mean much to me, I want a guy that I think the sky is the limit with and I don't see that in Smith. High School program and competition level doesn't matter to me either, if you can play you can play regardless of who or where you're playing against. Just because you play at a "powerhouse" high school doesn't automatically mean you're going to be a great college player. I think Smith will be a solid rotational player, but Moore has the potential in my opinion to be a solid B1G starter.

Albers has no credibility at all. While johnson may stay i believe not one word he says. He is a joke.

Albers also said in his article that Rojo could graduate and transfer, I thought we have sense discovered that is incorrect, correct?

Pizza Express? That's when you know you haven't been to iU in a long time.

 

It's Pizza X now.

WOW.  I haven't been back to Bloomington since 1998.

[Hoosier DaDa]

When I was at IU in the early 90s, the Pizza Express guy would go around handing out condoms.

Sure...maybe. Clifton's size, length, and shooting ability are intriguing. But...even now that he's done with his senior year, he's still not able to assert himself in low-end AAU tournaments. From last weekend:

The nightcap at the Donofrio Classic on Tuesday seesawed into the final moments before Evan-Eric Longino helped his Del Val VC team close out a 88-84 first-round victory over Hunting Park II. Longino, a senior guard from Germantown Academy and a West Chester commit, finished with a game-high 22 points and sank two victory-clinching free throws with 5.2 seconds remaining. Lower Merion’s Terrell Jones (14 points) and Wissahickon’s Shane Ford (13 points) helped complement Longino on the offensive end, while Hatboro-Horsham forward Clifton Moore anchored Del Val VC’s 2-3 zone.  Moore had five points in his squad’s win over Hunting Park II. 

We are in a position to be choosey this year. We should choose the 6'7" ultra-athletic, 22 ppg, 10 rpg, Illinois 1st team all-state player first.

He would've had more than 5 points if his teammates knew how good he is.

That interview alone makes me almost happy if he doesn't end up here. Most arrogant thing I've heard from a recruit.

Yeah like I get that 17 year old kids aren't always going to say the right thing, but that one was pretty bad.. I hope someone got in his ear afterwards and let him know that that's something you don't say even if it's how you feel.

[Hoosier Guy]

Did Clifton Moore say that?

[BtownBanner6]

Exactly no matter how you feel you keep your teammates out of the interviews.
