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.

While true, the players he’s been highlighting were good at a school prior to IU, with the cj gunns of the the world we didn’t see any of it on the court his freshmen year. MR and KC both showed they can be great at their prior schools.

YOU MEAN TO TELL ME CJ GUNN WASN'T AWESOME?!!?

eek - you make a very good point.

Ha

One of my favorite off season memories was reading how Jeremiah Rivers, prior to the season he averaged 3.8 ppg, was absolutely tearing it up offensively.

I know I’m the #1 Mike Woodson hater, but I think the roster is solid.  If Mgbako just plays a little bit better D we’re going far on just talent alone.  I think his shot will be better because naturally you now know what to expect out of D1 Basketball. Talent alone we make it to the sweet sixteen.

Eh tu Stuhoo? I’m the original starter of the fire Woodson thread…… surely that’s top 5 ? You hurt me Sir. You hurt me bad.

The competition is fierce. And there's a long line of contenders for that title.

Until you get to the “I’d rather see Woodson lose than IU win a national championship with him” level you’ll never be a #1 hater contender

That was a good one. My personal favorite was that guy marc-michael (or whatever his name was) was looking like a pro in closed practice. 
 

Of course, we were so bad back then my immediate thought wasn’t that Guy was any good but that the rest of posts were terrible. Sadly my intuition was correct there.

I agree, but this is a kid who dropped a 30 bomb on Arizona and 28 on Washington St. It’s very different than placing expectations on a kid who’s never done it.

Strangely enough, that was true!

Guy Marc-Michel finished out at Northern Idaho in 2010 and has been a pro in Europe ever since. Still getting a bball salary in France at age 35!

Not to mentioned after a few games against cupcakes, start hearing how deep we are.

CJ gunn was also tearing it up last summer and was going to play major minutes.

A real plus on the recruiting trail. Good to see it's continuing, and with good publicity.

That’s kind of incredible even with all the crappy leagues they have over there.

Don’t actually love this picture. Trey looks way too much like a d-bag character from Wolf of Wall Street.
