(2014) PF Emmit Holt to IU

[Diadem 430]

Like it or not, we are somewhat likely to lose one ,two, or even three to the league next year. [ steps into his flame retardant suit] . Last year if you remember Troy was projected in the 2nd round when he started off so well. Yogi is certainly a possibility and James surely thinks he gonna be one and done. And no I don't think any of the three are ready yet but I didn't think Noah was ready [ still don't] and I didn't see Vic going early either when he was a sophomore. Guys put in the work and can make a big jump as we've seen last couple years.

After seeing the improvements Troy has gone through this summer, I think it's much more likely that he makes the jump. I still strongly believe Yogi and JBJ won't be in a position to make the jump though.

[FortWayneHoosier 5,900]

yes, so what are your guys thoughts, is he gonna play like vonleh?

[Basketball4iU 2,006]

On his way to New York, packing up, moving in, starting school Monday! The NBA workouts impressed him! He is definitely better than Priller and April, and will push Hanner and Devin ..this was a much needed add In the gym

But, but, but....That sounds like a normal day at Collins Living-Learning Center....

 

 

 

**my apologies to anyone who lived in Collins ;)

It's OK. They're all too high to notice.'

More generally on topic though, I'm just glad the Heat took care of business. I knew Holt was a big deal when they were here to recruit him.

[Hutch89 2,939]

excellent to hear!

[hoosierpap 14,300]

Do you mean questionable as in "unproven" or as in "Hollowell"?

 

I'm sorry, I think I meant to quote the post above you. I'll go in and change that.

 

I'm not sure if you mean baggage or trouble when you say "Hollowell" but that isn't at all what I meant, no. I don't think there is much of that this year with anyone.

[Hoosiercrazy 9]

From what I have seen of him on his highlights I see him as a devin davis player

[quote name="MemphisHoosier" post="79354" timestamp="1408466800"]I thought the Miami Heat were brought in to seal the deal with Holt? I remember reading that somewhere...[/quote]
This was one of the reasons but not the only one.


In the gym

Happy news to me. Sounds like a very good addition for us. He doesn't "look" like a freshman physically. Good size and thickness. Big ten type body!

Phew!  Thought you were going to drop a "character issue" bomb on us!

Happy this young man chose to play for my favorite team and the best university in the country. I'm already cheering for him.

Welcome to IU, Emmit!

[IU Hoosier41 14,465]

Nice solid pick up I suppose.  Don't know a ton about him, but we definitely need some big bodies.

[shortspacequickness 1,034]

Ferrell

Blackmon/Robinson

Johnson/Zeisloft

Williams/Davis

Perea/Holt

 

Not a bad 9-man rotation...3 juniors, 3 sophomores, 3 freshmen.

[ALASKA HOOSIER 11,256]

I have a very good feeling about Holt's addition to IU's lineup. If anything, he will help Perea get motivated/stronger. From what i have seen of this young man, he is solid!

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,923]

Jerry Meyer magically ranked him today. He comes in at 187, 3 star, 5th best player in New York.

The twitter talk is pretty good overall.

According to Indy Star, yes. They made it sound like he was THE guy involved.
