Is this guy really the answer? Not impressed at all. No immediate help for 2014.. No thanks.


Unless he takes Jurkin's spot on the bench.

Never said he was the answer, gonna need someone. Jurkin will not be playing so who's gonna get minutes while Hanner is on the bench.

A 6'11" RS Soph could be valuable for us in 2015.

Does the NCAA ever allow for a player in this situation to transfer immediately with the coaching change? If they don't it seems like they should but the NCAA never lacks for stupidity.

Coaching change is a great point. That could be the wildcard there. Mi would change my tune if that was accepted.

I think the only way you can play immediately after transferring due to coaching change is if you're an incoming Freshman and haven't played yet.

 He would sit out a year and there is uncertainty if we will have the same coach after next season.  My guess is he goes to Purdouche.

He will sit out a year and then there is uncertainty as to whether he will have the same coach after next season at Purdue also.

Wouldn't be a bad transfer.

Kinda strange, SIAP

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,923]

Do we want a "soft" big either? That story does not bode well for either party but IMO it makes Trevor seem weak and potentially as disrespectful to have cell ringing during a team meeting.

He averaged 5 points and 5 rebounds a game in limited action in the ACC. Seems to me he could be a big help for our team.

I'd take a soft kid who forgot to put his cell phone on silent at this point. I know he, most likely, won't be eligible next year but I'd take him. As a freshmen he avg 5 pts and 4.7 rbs. Guess I'm not too stoked about IU's position w '15 bigs either.

[NotTheReal HoosierHoopster 67]

Undortunately, I think Ohio State is the leader at this point.

@GoodmanESPN: Ohio State will get the first visit for Virginia Tech 7-foot transfer Trevor Thompson on April 11-13. Likely to also visit Indiana & Purdue.

Ugh, really? Lot of talk that he could be eligible for immediate playing time. Same discussions for Eron Harris.

Oops, wrong thread.
