Hoosier Fan Fest

[JimmerNoe]

We are making the trip to Fan Fest next weekend for the first time with our 10 month old daughter! Going to get there around noon and then stay the night in Bloomington afterwards. For those who went last year, any details that you found to be awesome or things that you would recommend? Personally pumped to see the freshman and overreact to how much they'll contribute 6 months from now

Hoosier Hysterics and Fanfest? I’m a fan of both.

Guess who else is?

I get it that some don’t like the “idiosyncrasies” of the Hoosier Hysterics guys however….the other day I was at the gym and put on their most recent podcast that was with Lawrence Frank and it is awesome with a capitol A.
Frank is very entertaining, his career path is insane, he WORSHIPS RMK, and gives a lot of insight about the Calbert years (Frank was a student manager then and was also Calberts, along with Chris Reynolds, roommate), the players and RMK’s coaching style. Check it out.

Tweet from Dustin Dopirak:  According to Eric Pankowski, Mike Woodson couldn't be at the event because of a death in his family.

How was the scrimmage? Anything stand out as far as the freshman or improvement of returning players?

8 min running clock with no refs.    Nothing to take away from it in my opinion.   Just was good to see the new team running up and down the floor.  Players looked like they were having fun.  All around great night to be in the hall with family

General observations from last night: what an awesome event. Such a different vibe than Hoosier Hysteria and with every courtside seat full ($250) and 1/3 to 1/2 of the lower bowl full, they made a lot of money to split amongst the team.

 

- CJ Gunn seems way taller than advertised. At one point he was standing with Kaleb and Malik and seemed at most 1-2 inches shorter than Malik and about the same height as Kaleb. Also freak athlete which I wasn’t expecting. He tried to throw down some absurd dunks. He’s really long too so as he puts on weight could see him becoming really valuable later in his career.

- Kaleb Banks: Also really athletic, didn’t see as much from him last night but stroke looks good too.

- Malik Reneau: Big frame and he already moved very well. He was comfortable getting the ball off the glass, bringing it up, trying to break people down from the perimeter. He had a half spin to a one footed 10-12 footer that looked smooth. Also just bumped Logan out of the way on a take to the rim and laid it in left handed. He’s not going to be physically outmatched as a freshman when he gets time.

- Jalen Hood-Schifino: obviously just a three point contest but his stroke looks excellent. He will demand someone to guard him out there. Very big for a guard. Most impressive thing to me is that he moves like a pro. Just glides around the court, covers a TON of ground with step backs and shifty dribbles. Threw a no look pass in transition for a layup that was great. He also has a huge body for a point guard. At the end of the scrimmage he stood X up at the perimeter, definitely fouled him, and took the ball the other way. It wasn’t a clean play but I don’t think he’s going to get bullied by anyone in the BIG.

- Tamar Bates: probably the most impressive changes from last season in my opinion (even though it’s just a three point contest and rough open gym). He looks every bit of 20 lbs heavier. His shot looked very smooth in the 3pt contest and in the open run. He had MUCH less jerkiness to his game and along with JHS just looked like he was moving at a different speed and gliding all over the court.

 

Sorry for the long post but I promised I would overreact and take way more from this event than is probably responsible! Lol
