Monday

Hopefully Priller has some cool stories for his future kids about the season he spent at IU lol

[Alford Bailey 13,228]

By Wednesday. And, I hope its not a "surprise" transfer.

Believe 2015-16 could be BIG for the boys if they all stay with the program.  We'll now see what "team" really means to this group of scrappers, and I hope/plead that we aren't disappointed.  Go IU!

At this point I don't see a benefit in any of our core leaving.

- Scouts have already said how Yogi/JBJ/Troy play with a big will likely have a positive effect on their stock.

- ROJO probably is a year away from being handed the keys to the team/PG responsibilities

- Hartman has a chance to be an explosive 6th man or starter

- Z is basically trapped (though I still won't count out a handshake scholarship deal to free a spot)

- Holt got plenty of minutes and has the potential to be a 4-year hero.

The only realistic/sensible departures are Priller and April. If both leave we know what that means...

Preseason top 5 ranking? If you catch my drift.......

Top 25, I can't see a preseason top 5. I would prefer a postseason top 5 though.

[WayneFleekHoosier 51,442]

If everyone returns. I predict #8-13 preseason ranking. If Thon comes, #3 -8.

Went over your head my man

Landing Thon...?
Still don't see a top 5 preseason ranking.

I think it'll hinge on who's still planning on playing (and who's declared for who) as of 25 April. IF we added Thon, I think it would be hard not to place us in the top 5, if only because we'd represent a strong back-court core with a major weakness turned into a strength. Hard to deny that.

I still don't see how you take a team who finished 9-9 in the B1G, first round exit, with no GREAT wins (we had some very good ones) and place them in the top 5.

After puke buys their next recruiting class they'll be in the top 5. Arizona loses a few but have a great recruiting class. Depending on what Dekker does Wiscy will be up there. OSU has a strong class coming in, MSU has a few solid recruits. If EVERYTHING breaks IU's way maybe a top 5 preseason ranking but I highly doubt it.

[Uwe Robb 1,072]

Don't care about PreSeason rankings.

 

We don't hang banners for being #1 in preseason.

[HoosierHoops1 5,024]

No, you don't. But, if we're not ranked next year with the exact same team, you'll not have any Championship confidence.

Partially, because we (on paper) address one of our only major weakness' in a big way. And we were as good from the 6'7" and under as about anyone in the country.

 

You don't think #12 wichita state, if they were returning the top 7 and adding Bryant and, maybe maker, wouldn't be top 5?

Rankings are for the fans, really mean little except for fans to brag." We WERE ranked number 1 all year."" So, we won the tournament. " conversation over!

[HoosierHoops1 5,024]

They mean little, but if Indiana was #23 with the same record, we might have been a 8 or 9 seed
