We are supposed to deal with another year of this why?

Without Al this would be way worse. Happy for him on an individual level.

I’ve said it before. I think he might walk. 

He might, but it won’t be for free and right now who’s taking this job?

TJD ready for the NBA huh? 
 

Dude has 5 points vs a non NBA big man. Does he know who he would be going up against each night in the NBA? LMAO

Dickinson isn't an NBA big man? He's impressed me more than Garza has. Asked to do far less but has some movement to him that I just didn't see from Garza. TJD was able to run circles around Garza in the first matchup and Dickinson is owning TJD today.

I watch this game & a lot of other games this year and what I see is we’re talking about how good our freshman will be when a lot of other teams are talking about how good there freshman are no matter what conference. Just sayin.

He has his flaws, but he has worked to get better every year and always goes hard. He's consistently had to play a more significant role than he should have because of lack of surrounding talent. He's an ideal 6th/7th man, and I think if he would have been able to play that role, his flaws would not have been as exposed and he would have gotten a lot of love from IU fans.

Why wouldn't they? It's about as bad as it gets so any improvement will be appreciated. The next coach is actually going to come in at an opportune time in regards to fan expectations imo.

He hasn’t impressed me too much, he’s just huge. Like I’ll note for TJD and primarily for TJD, how is he going to be able to guard Embiid, Sabonis, Jokic?? 
 

How will TJD be able to defend ball screens in the NBA with Steph Curry? Jamal Murray, Dame Lillard?

Al has driven with a purpose today

No argument from me there about guarding those guys you listed so I'll take your word for it, as I don't really care nor pay attention to the NBA. But just in terms of guarding TJD, Dickinson has shown to be light years ahead of what Garza showed.

SHUT UP RAF

You have to score to have a chance right!

Dickinson will end up being a classic NBA big. Probably a Cody Zeller type of role though maybe a 1/10th of the athelticism.

If we hire a new coach, and he can get TJD to stay, I would think this would be a very attractive job.

Yeah good thing for this young fella is that’s he’s only a freshman right? Being 7’2” helps. Garza won’t sniff the floor in the NBA.

Hey, we found someone who can shoot FTs! 

COOPER!

I got in at Michigan -8.5. Which means we will be down 11 and make a meaningless 27 foot 3 pointer at the buzzer. It’s officially the most likely outcome.

Easy money!!
