OFFICIAL: Ferrell returns for Senior Season

[colonel06 1,913]

Well I honestly think it won't happen!  As this takes on a life of its own and goes viral the plethora of negative feedback will make him think twice about this and for sure (I would logically think) his parents!

I was close... well maybe it still won't take place who knows!

What if he's already planning on being undrafted and is planning on going overseas to play? He wouldn't need to meet the NBAs deadline would he?

Excellent. Now we can start getting excited. This is officially an Elite Eight team, at a minimum.

nothings official until he announces it

[Bryan Medema 1,488]

So can I come out from under my desk now?

[ShoobyFims 20]

Ok so why did he make us wait like that. Why all the anxiety and hype and silliness. He could have told us this a while ago feels like, and saved us all the drama 

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,967]

Great news! Expected IMO. The BIG is stacked this year. 4-5 teams with final four hopes. Now is April out?

[ThompsonHoosier 3,413]

Either way I lost a little respect for Yogi for doing all of this. Even if his ultimate decision was to leave, there are a lot of other classier ways to let the fans know (for example Dekker). I know it's his life, his decision but still; c'mon man!!

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

[LIHoosier 25,041]

Some say that Yogi's announcement for IU was tainted because the press leaked it before he could; and now this announcement gets over-shadowed by a gruesome murder of a coed.   Why announce at this point?  Just come back and play basketball.  Where else are you gonna' go?

So after all this, the huge announcement gets leaked anyway.

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,967]

Totally leaked. I'm surprised. Let's rally behind our Hoosiers though. Many came back that could have left. Let's be happy about this!

[Crimson and Cream 5,709]

Great news! Still a little nervous until I actually hear Yogi say it, but I'm sure it's true.

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

I have lost no respect for Yogi. He weighed the decision properly. He was willing to make the Foundation happy. He canceled when circumstances arose.

[rodmilbourn 36]

All I can say is it would have been nice to have just had a firm yes earlier however this beats the heck out of griping about Tom Crean on this thread go Hoosiers!!

[GloryDays 5,898]

  With Yogi back and all the talent coming in, the Big's getting stacked.

Looks like at least 4 or 5 teams could be capable of deep runs.

 Thank's Yogi, I'm excited about IU basketball again.

[Old Friend 8,389]

Good news for all involved.  Not sure why the big production, but good news nevertheless.  I expect great things next season; and I expect a recruiting focus on top local (Midwest) kids who will see this team and where it's going.

 

Now...who goes?  Priller and April?   Someone else?   Next season, Ferrell, Zeisloft, and probably Williams and Blackmon are gone, and perhaps another defection or two.   The 2016 recruiting class is huge and there is a ton of talent in Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio.    Love the news, and all it does is excite me for the next 12 months.

[SteelerHoosier 2,586]

This conference is going to be fun to watch

Hanner will also be a senior.

[Hovadipo 53,075]

Don't care how/why he let it play out like this. If he is staying, next year will be a blast. In the words of Bart Scott..."CAN'T WAIT"
