Walking Boot of Doom Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 How does he feel about watching Syracuse lose? It helps him drown out the voices in his ear telling him to just stay home and play for that nose picking, computer programming, nerd Boeheim.

cthomas Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Bryant at IU would be a great addition as would anyone over 6' 9' with some skill. To me, a Dean Garrett type guy roaming in the paint would solve a lot of our ills this season. Quote

Alford Bailey Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 This kids going to UK. The Poythress injury will be a wake up call and about 10 of those guys will head to the NBA where they belong. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

UK is a top choice for any kid wanting to go tô the league. Results speak volumes. That and cold, hard cash and mean, green bluegrass buds. BubbleKnuts and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote
rebelhoosier848891 Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 I have to admit----I got that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach as soon as Cal and the Catmob started showing interest in Bryant. Cal doesn't get them all (Thank you JBJ!)-----but he sure gets most of them! :banghead: ALASKA HOOSIER and Alford Bailey 2 Quote
CampHoosier Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 All we have to do is say "Noah Vonleh" to this kid. He came in, was the feature big man, and got picked in the top ten. He can showcase his talent down low exclusively. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

He came in, was the feature big man, and got picked in the top ten. He can showcase his talent down low exclusively. Not a good example. Noah was no where near featured. He wasn't happy in his role. Whether his fault, the guards' fault or coaching or any combination. He was neglected, especially when you look at his shot attempts and how many were just based on offensive rebounds. He was a top 10 pick regardless of where he went to school, though the same can be said of UK's talent. MemphisHoosier, Hutch89, jonz44 and 7 others 10 Quote

So while he may have been underutilized for whatever reason, I would still consider him a feature big. Quote

"Look at Noah Vonleh, he didn't have half the pieces around him that you would. Without outside shooters opponents collapsed on him and robbed him of opportunities to shine. And we still made him a top-10 draft pick. Imagine what you'll do with a team that shoots 42% from behind the arc." Alabaster Thunder, lillurk, Hutch89 and 3 others 6 Quote

It would help if Noah was someone kids could contact as a reference and have him give glowing recommendations. I do not know this to be untrue but I get the impression the relationship is frosty between him and the staff. Quote

Because, every alumni group that I know of who has successfully arranged a meet-and-greet with Cody has failed to arrange one with Noah. At some point, holding a grudge is going to make him look stupid not Indiana. lillurk 1 Quote

MartintheMopMan Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 kinda like the general.Didn't even Woody Hayes come back to Ohio State? Come back like... to the University at all? Because he taught there for years after he was fired. He was a professor. Quote

Maybe there's hope afterall? Oh yeah, sorry. He taught while he was coaching too. I think Knight has reached that point where he has a reputation that he isn't going to forgive IU and he is too prideful to actually do it. Like when you grow your hair long and it becomes part of your identity and is harder to cut because you just don't want to listen to people's crap about how happy they are or whatever. jonz44 and HoosierHoops1 2 Quote
