Don’t get me wrong, love IUFB being interesting, but, man, this does the old heart good.

You can just tell the season's gonna be special ... Didn't miss a shot!

By a bunch of Twitter trolls… who cares. Hope they see the hate and use it as motivation…

I swear. There are way too many people who are way too proud of being utter creeps. If someone has a problem with the way Malik carries himself or reps the school that is 100% a them problem.

Malik is just plain awesome as a player and human being imo.  Super talented kid that plays with a passion and has a little fun all the while.  He’s a TJD like ambassador without the bounce and home state affiliation.

I used to follow tennis quite a bit -- back in the days of the McEnroes, Connorses, Lendls, Agassis, Edbergs, Samprases and even a bit into the Federers. But admittedly, I haven't paid attention in awhile. 

This is Taylor Fritz, the American who's playing for the U.S. Open title Sunday. Didn't even know who he was until I saw something about him recently on ESPN. 

He bears a bit of a resemblance to a certain fifth-year IU guard from Culver, does he not? 
 

Fooled me

We are in BIG BIG trouble if the NCAA decides that games tied in regulation should be decided by a dance-off. 
Love Gallo’s game, as an example, but he would be a great dance partner with Elaine Benes.

Not sure who would be surprised here. Probably the most physically talented kid on the roster. If Devonte Green had actually been the player he saw in the mirror he would have been Kanaan Carlyle. Some of his decision making will frustrate occasionally, but he can take over games.

Saving the bolded line for future use. Will attribute to you if all works out as planned.

He’s now said that about Goode, Carlyle, and Tucker, and most of the word from IU side of things has been how great Rice and Mgbako have been. Buckle up

There are gonna be teams who have no matchup for him at all. Little brother’s one of them. Not saying he’s gonna do a JHS to them, but I imagine there will be possessions where Woody simply  puts them in 4 low and he just abuses Loyer.

Actually a lot of players have abused Loyer.  Looks like his face was abused a lot as kid too, very much used as a punching bag!

Or when Carlyle isn't on the court, clear out for Cupps and let him abuse Loyer.

Or let the 12 year old boy there to watch the game with his middle school team isolate Loyer and blow past him.

Just a reminder that every off-season we are told about surprise, over and elite performers. I'd venture to say the majority of times that doesn't pan out. I've become numb to these types of reports as much as the doctored S&C photos. It's all just noise. Let's see the results on the court.

Yes. I refer to them as the offseason snipers since that what we've seemed to hear the past few years is that player x can't miss during the summer/preseason practices. Then reality hits when the games begin. Hopefully it's real this time but I won't hold my breath.
