Totally agree I just don't want him to have great games against us. 

Yep hopes he goes to the SEC and has great games against UK

I believe we slipped because he's on a holding pattern with us. We need a point first and Romeo's spot. This whole non committable offer business probably doesn't sit well with recruits although Im obviously specualting with Henry.

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,726]

Here's the thing.

If you follow recruiting as close as I do, and many of you do, you realize great players go to other schools all the time. It's depressing, lol.

Henry hurts because he's from Indiana and people know about him and he seems like a great kid to boot.

The 2 guys we got are super talented. I don't have any regrets at this point. I feel like he will pick MSU for some reason, probably because MSU always gets great Indiana kids.

But my point is, Henry is another good player going to another school. We see it all the time in recruiting and most don't worry about those other guys because they don't know them. Jalen Smith to Maryland as an example.

I have a feeling our staff is content with who we got commits from and how that all broke down.

Moore can easily play it if needed. Smith can play the 4 as well

Clifton Moore doesn't want to play down low at all though.  He said so and his HS coach said so.

It's not a given that he'll play down low "if needed".  Plus if Smith plays the 4, that's pretty small in the B1G.

I know it's a different coach and new system, but I still hate the idea of small ball lineups.  That was a year from hell that I really don't want to repeat.

You mean you didn't like Stan Robinson on AJ Hammons??

Clifton Moore is not a back to the basket guy on offense. That doesn't mean that he will be playing on the perimeter on the defensive end.

Sorry to break it to Clifton & his coach but if he ever wants a future in the NBA it will be at the 4 maybe even the 5 as a stretch big. He isn't near quick enough to play the 3.

If CM doesn't want to play down low.. Then he needs to sack up. This isnt kiddie ball.

[btownqb 8,235]

Wait.. I got to thinking about this... CM has absolutely no say in the matter. He plays where he helps the team the most. Idc if it's PG, C, or bench warmer... where CAM and staff feel like he is best fit to help the TEAM is where he'll play. Glad we're back to that sort of thing at IU.

Exactly.
Which is why if he wants to play he'll defend down low, and on offense he may or may not be in the post.

Yep. And when CAM says jump he'll say "how high?" I'm old-school when it comes to that.

Of course he'll play where needed, same could be said for some "combo" guard filling in at PG.  I don't think Moore's a Center- offensively or defensively. Will he develop into one? Maybe, although he's expressed reluctance to do so. So while he CAN play the post, having guys out of position isn't a great recipe for success.

Let's all hope DD stays healthy and can stay out of foul trouble for 28mins or so a game.

Or he can transfer!

Small ball can work on defense. Our problem was we didn't have a defensive system (not a good one at least) set up, nor did we have the personnel to effectively run it. You need talented individual defenders and versatile guys who can switch on p/r.

If he would have to take 37 out of town he'd still be around for awhile.

I heard he was going to play some at the point. Haha... couldn't resist.

Xavier is looking like they are the team to beat in this recruitment moving forward

I'm thinking if that's the case, Eric Hunter is going there as well.
