If he makes a huge show out of announcing he is returning to school than he is every bit the spoiled brat he comes off as

It's looks and is bad either way.

a lot of people on campus already know this to be true.

I agree but an event announcing you are turning pro makes some semblance of sense

ahhh...it's the smell of melodrama in the air...

seems to come every spring and fall...

I've heard this as well, but I didn't need to hear it to be fairly certain of it

Not in the position he is. Maybe if you are going to be the #1 pick in the draft... Top 3 maybe... But not as a borderline second round pick.

Why are you trolling so hard on Yogi? He must've stolen your girl or something.  None of your arguments have any substance. You don't like Yogi , because you don't like Yogi.

Do you read what I type?

Benz.... Just stop. Back to Yogi talk please.

[Never Daunted 398]

Benz.... Just stop. Back to Yogi talk please.

Dude...Benz is agreeing with you.

Yogi is from Indy. If it is truly a family and friends event it does make some sense to have it there instead of in Bloomington.

[ThompsonHoosier 3,416]

If it's family and friends why let everyone know? Why not just tell the family and tell them to keep quiet? It sounds over the top, but I think I just lost a little bit of respect for Yogi. C'mon man!

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Yogi---you're making me nervous here.  Don't know what to think or how to read this latest development.  Doesn't seem like good news to me.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Just read Doc Libby's tweets.  I feel a little better about this and will repeat the thread title: Yogi---Just Come Back and Lead Us To Glory!

[JSHoosier 20,665]

Oh. I thought coach bashing had free reign in all threads. No?

Indiana has played good D under Crean. Crean has coached a final 4 team.

Funny that Crean coaches one and it's all luck and Shaka Smart coaches one and he's an amazing coach...

According to KenPom going back to 2002 and not counting Crean's first 3 years here his average ranking in defensive efficiency is around 95th. That one year is the only one he's had in the top 25 and he's had precious few even in the top 50.

Defense doesn't tend to be a strong suit of his teams.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

We're getting off-topic but one reason our defensive averages are so low is because of the constant roster turnover and yearly rosters full of young/new players who have to learn D1--big time defense.  In general, experienced teams will play better defense.  Yogi has been at times and can be a good defender and we should be hoping he comes back.

yup...I am really hoping Yogi comes back to be that 4 year leader that teams need...

not going to bring up Knight, because I know it's cringe worthy...

however...

it is worth noting, that IU's most successful teams have had senior leadership with a solid mix of talented youth...

and I will quote myself on this topic...

 

an ounce of experience is worth a pound of potential...
