NoahW35 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Just forget I brought it up, hard to put into words. Obviously when they're ready they'll go, and while they're here they'll have a starting spot. A different perspective/idea rather than transfers I suppose what I was thinking it doesen't put any pressure on Troy or Yogi because they are going to have their own best interests in mind and Indiana will accommodate them as long as they want to be here. It puts pressure on guys like April, Priller, and Hartman to prove that they deserve to be a part of the rotation and also puts pressure on players like Devin who may desire more minutes or a starting spot and aren't necessarily guaranteed to get it WayneFleekHoosier and Hoosiers96 2 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners If they stay at IU, yes. In other words; post season convo between player and coaching staff: Player: "Coach, I really think I can be a starter next year". Coach: "We don't think you'll even be a rotation player, but you're welcome to stay". Player: "I will look around for other options". thebigweave 1 Quote

CampHoosier Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I know everyone hates the over sign situation and don't bite my head off but.. If we do sign 2-3 guys in this 15 class, does that put any pressure on say Troy or Yogi to feel any pressure at all like it's the right time to leave?? PS: I personally do not think either of them are close to ready, which isn't a knock on them at all.. Yogi's size is an NBA problem and Troy obviously has to improve shooting and defense Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners Not in the slightest Kepner 1 Quote
HoosierD Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 The more I watch this kid on YouTube videos, the more I want him. He is definitely undersized but he just has that it factor when he makes decisions around the basket. He's being recruited as a wing, so he's actually got great size.

NoahW35 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I mean that in the sense that I don't believe for one second he's 6'8" Even if he's 6' 6" that's perfect size for his position Quote
Hovadipo Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I mean that in the sense that I don't believe for one second he's 6'8" He's taller than Devin. Fact. So that could be 6'7 or 6'8. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Happydaze, Walking Boot of Doom and WayneFleekHoosier 3 Quote

NoahW35 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 He's taller than Devin. Fact. So that could be 6'7 I walk right past Devin almost everyday and feel like he is at least 6' 7". I have also seen him with Troy several times and they are almost exactly the same height. If OG is taller than Devin he has to be close to 6' 8" Walking Boot of Doom, WayneFleekHoosier, Hutch89 and 3 others 6 Quote
