I almost forget Evan Fitzner was ever a Hoosier...

You must be applying memory space based on his performance. If so, that makes sense.

Jerrod’s 100% right here. Reminder: Jarace Walker’s a 1 and done top 10 pick and last year at GEICO he had nothin’ for Reneau.

Kid needs to kick in gear. He’s 2 days behind.

I’m a softie for the off season pump up videos.  Lol. Love this stuff. 
 

The star power of Ware, Mgbako, Reneau is still such an awesome thought.

Newton already looks like he's been in a college weight room for a year or two, damn. 

I know its just a sizzle reel, but Sparks looks like a freakin beast too.

Think a lot of people will be very pleasantly surprised by him this year.

That’s Jakai reaching out to almost 7’ on the thumbnail for those keeping track at home.

Newton is 1 of the all-time specimens. That kid just turned 18.

Some horrific footwear in that photo.

This is going to be fun. There is some serious potential on this team. The first month or two might be a little rough, but when these guys figure it out, bad news for the rest of the conference. This is possibly the best front court we have had in a very long time. Our backcourt will be good enough to keep everyone honest. I'm going to try to be patient and wait for everything to click, kinda like '81. Not saying we can be that good, but........

Socks with sandals is cool again?  My 100 year old grandfather is back in style?

Please be 100% healthy Jakai Newton. 
Because if he is it’ll be a sight to see.

Holy crap…  That’ll get some instant respect from teammates before the ball ever bounces. The look on Jakai Newton’s face is something like “Shiit; that little smiling freckle-faced kid is a bad-@$$.”

Oh, and the kid never turns the ball over, and is a better recruiter than Ostrom was. 

[Demo 19,611]

My Lord, Sparks looks lean. That kid has done some good work in the last few months.

My son got to tag along with a buddy and watch Sparks at an open gym awhile back. Played against him 2 years in HS. Said Sparks has totally transformed his body. Doesn’t look like the same guy from HS. Hung out a little bit afterwards and PS told them he’s not coming to sit the bench and he totally expects to play behind MR.

Kel’el Ware better get that motor hot because Payton Sparks is gonna challenge him for that 25 minutes at the 5 spot.

I guess I don't notice stuff like that. I just looked at their faces and the build on Newton. Lol

I believe I read he's finishing up some classwork.
