[quote name="Samiam87" post="39997" timestamp="1392575464"]Why are we comparing Troy to Oladipo? Stanford Robinson is more like Oladipo, he's an explosive slasher! We can have a great team next year as long as everyone on the bench is great. Because who ever is not, CTC will still put them in games at the worst times! [/quote]

Stan Robinson is nothing close I oladipo. Williams is very similar to what oladipo was when he first arrived on campus. They are both freak athletes. Robinson is not near as athletic.

He's not as athletic but he's always around the ball good and bad, like Oladipo was.

How they look as freshmen, not in style, but in where they are right now.

Crean is getting paid way too much money to ever field a last place BT team. <br /><br />Last year was great but are we to assume he will only have that kind of success when he has two McD kids, two 1000 point seniors and another guy who happens to be the 2nd pick in the lottery <br /><br /><br />Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

He had 4 1000 point scorers.

5 now that Sheeey is number 47 at IU and will have had 6 on the same team when Yogi joins the club. Just sick talent was on last years team and the only nets they cut down were in defeat at home to Ohio State. What more can you say except 2 were top 4 draft choices. What really gets me is we have many fans who were satisfied with our results last year when the chances of us ever fielding a team this talented and deep at IU will probably never happen again. Now I'm sick.

I'm just counting the players that were 1000 point scorers during the year.  Figured I'd be fair to Crean, and that team wasn't as deep as we thought it would be.  I've always felt that team was capable of more than a Sweet 16 though, which is the very definition of underachieving.

Sick talent? Besides Oladipo, I wouldn't call them "sick talent." They were good and played well together, but let's not get carried away.

And I feel like there should be an asterisk next to "two top four picks." Cody had no business going that high.

2 players on the same team being drafted in the top 4 picks is not sick talent? Please give me your definition of what would be better? Then give me an example of two players being drafted that high that lost in the sweet 16? The only asterisk that should be noted would be the most underperforming team in the NCAA's tournament history. I'm sorry but your in denial of the talent just like Crean saying he never thought of losing Cody and Vic last year. I bet you think we can still make the dance this year too.

There's a reason he was projected late lottery in one of the weakest drafts in a long time. Cody Zeller had no business whatsoever sniffing the fourth pick. He wasn't sick talented, but rather lucky that Jordan is bad at drafting and reached. You're overhyping last year's talent to boost your argument against Crean. You're only kidding yourself if you thought those players, other than Vic, were actually sick talented. That doesn't mean the team didn't live up to expectations, and we shouldn't be disappointed. It just means that team didn't have "sick talent" outside of one player. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I think your undervaluing the talent we actually had. IMO, sick talent is having 2 top 4 picks and 4 1000 point scorers on the same team not including 5 with Sheehey and 6 with Yogi. When do you think we will ever replicate that? Now if your saying sick meaning Wilt, Kobe, Pistol and Jordan; then I would agree.

We'll just disagree on last year's team. It was good, but not sick talented IMO.
