[bnkepner 1,509]

yep, I'm thinking adriane Payne here.

Great comparison!

[FKfootball 1,046]

Has he signed? This is bothering me.

Mike Miller: Thomas Bryant did indeed sign his letter of intent with Indiana on Friday, according to Huntington Prep coach Arkell Bruce. So it's official

"Official" would be Tom Crean coming out and saying "we got our guy".

Yes--Yes and more yes!  Good news that will let all of us sleep a little easier!

If he sent it in then wouldn't Crean or one of the major recruiting sites say something?

Great Comparison, but TB looks a little more like a bruiser down low. I don't know how tall Adreian is off the top of my head.

6'10

6'10

So they are very similar. I hope TB has a better post game than Payne did in college but I'd be happy with an Adreian Payne.

 I think TB will be more of a post up player than Payne.

In these all star games a big is lucky to touch the ball and after hitting 3 long balls in Louisville I think he said what the hell at the Brand game.

Its nice he can step out but I wouldn't think we would prioritize that part of his game needing help down low so desperately.

But you never know.

I just like the demeanor of this kid. I think he might have a little mouth on him and plays with some attitude. This team needs that

I could see yogi, holt, Bryant, Perea, and zeisloft playing and bonding well out there with as much passion as they have displayed this past year

This.  I believe in good sportsmanship----but you have to have a few tough guys on every team who will bring that "won't back down" mentality to the team.  Just like with Sheehey----we didn't miss his talent when he left--we missed his toughness and swagger.  I hope TB's warrior mentality rubs off on some other guys like JBJ who I still think has another level to his game to show us.  Go Hoosiers!

I really like how he's embraced the tradition of IU and the fact that he's excited to be apart of it! Need more kids like him

TB showin his skill and motor at the Jordan Brand Classic

The kid never takes a play off. The effort he plays with is going to make him a fan favorite.

I agree Rebel. I thought JBJ was going to kick in the after burners and be a one and done , but it just didn't happen. He has so much potential, I can't wait to see how he performs next year. I hope he works hard over the summer and comes back a beast!

@insidethehall: Thomas Bryant comes in at No. 19 in final ESPN class of 2015 rankings. Top rated four-star prospect. #iubb

[HoosierHoops1 5,024]

i think all (most) of the other services automatically have top 25 players 5-star and 26-100 4-star.
