mdn82 Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Let's hope he is smart enough to just test the waters without hiring an agent right away. After missing this past year, many NBA decision makers may want to see more of him than he would be able to show at a combine or private workout. Especially since he is still recovering from his injury, and working his way back into basketball shape. If I were him, I'd wait another year.I think it was Draft Express had him as the 18th pick today to the Pacers. He will be a first round pick. TB on the other hand is not guaranteed 1st round pick and is on the fence.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
Capt. Crimson Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 I've been saying offer 7, but I'd be fine with 7.5. I'd go 8.1 just to one up what pUKe is giving Cal for the last 6 years of his extension.Pretty easy to say when you aren't the one cutting the check!

Josh Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 I just had contact with my most reliable source today out of the blue. My mother texted me "I just heard that John Groce is going to IU" Perspective here: She told me that Illinois would hire him about 6 hours before anybody else reported it. I didn't care enough about him or Illinois to share it. She knew because she works with his sister. She still does. Holy crap. Hopefully she will become only 50% reliable, because so far she's 100%. Maybe she means as an assistant to Billy D? Give this theory a bit to debunk itself...because right now I believe we're getting Groce... ALASKA HOOSIER, Bgrimm4 and MemphisHoosier 3 Quote

Josh Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 That story I told is 100% true. Either Groce is gonna happen....or my mother is just as much of a smartass as me...or the assistants positions are starting to slip out. Holy crap!Hire Billy!

Beachfront Property Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 I don't understand why people don't have Gregg Marshall rated higher. If you want to win big and win big right away - Marshall would be a great hire. His Wichita State teams have been ranked in the top 20 by KenPom six years in a row and are preseason top 5 for next year. He has managed to do this at Wichita State - one would think he would absolutely tear it up and IU. The only thing I can come up with is that people don't like his personality. I can understand that position, but I really don't care how nice of a guy our coach is if we are hanging banners. Also, the administration may not see it this way, but I see his smoking hot, jersey wearing wife as a "double check plus (in the words of Fred Glass)".
