UM Graduate Transfer Max Bielfeldt To IU

[Dennis 58]

I believe that Max was voted the UM 6TH MAN award by his fellow team members last year so they thought a lot about him and his ability.  That means he must be pretty good for the things we can use this coming year.  We have a great team now and need him for added depth and hustle - I go with the opinion of the UM team members.

 

I also say Crean was smart enough to get him to make this visit and here is hoping that he returns in June.  We should know next week - maybe while he is here!

Hopefully he loves the atmosphere of IU! To bad there won't be many people walkin round campus. Good thing he knows what Assembly Hall is like on Gameday.

[Hovadipo 55,389]

Hope he doesn't mind the south end of The Hall looking like a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Morgan and Anunoby are so much better than what a lot of our fans think. If we get Biefeldt, we will be just fine.

[ashmgee 193]

So you don't think this guy can contribute more than walkons? He would only be here for 1 year so not much of a risk in regard to scholarships.

 

 

There was a lot of doubt/criticism with Nick Z. Gonna trust Coach Crean and hope we get him.

NZ was a good addition. If this guy can have that type of impact I am all for this pick up. I'm just not in a hurry to back filling those scollys for the sake of filling them. 6'7" 245 doesn't fit the Crean player profile, so I guess I am hesitant to think he will get much play. I'm sure there is a reason that a barebones Mich team couldn't find another spot for him, but I haven't looked at their recruiting class. I know Levert coming back had something to do with this, but lets not forget how terrible Mich was last year.

One of the main reasons I want this guy is the fact he will only be here one season. If we take him it doesn't allow CTC to grab a project that tied up a scholarship for multiple years.

How can we know this until they play at the college level?

He's played in the Hall, so I'm pretty sure he knows what it actually looks like, and feels like to play in.

IU Needs Another Big!  M.B. Might Be A Solid Addition - with that said - IU Needs Another "Above The Rim" BIG!  NOW & With This Stellar Returning Group!!

 

 

IU has a one year window this coming season with an extremely rare collection of talent for '15 / '16.  While T Bryant is a tremendous addition,  IU needs a viable 5 back-up.  I don't aspire for agreement - yet, we've all seen it before: 2 fouls in the first 10 minutes of play, injury, fatigue, etc. & IU is, once again, playing "patty cake" in the paint.  As Ned Pepper is quoted, "Too thin, Rooster, Too Thin .."

[bleedhoosier 3,627]

Sign him already!!

[Crimson and Cream 5,782]

I think I heard he's visiting not just today but also tomorrow. Anybody else hear that or did I just dream it up?

I read Sunday and Monday on twitter.

Yes Max is visiting not only today but also tomorrow.

We have two spots open now so sign a max and if a guy like you describe is out there get him too

Exactly my point.  2 - 1= 1

I know it won't happen because this staff thinks it's illegal to go into the season with less than 13 scholarship players, but I'd prefer we bank at least one of them.

[Alford Bailey 12,373]

Seems like an okay option to me. Sounds like, if UM really wanted him they could have fought to keep him. Idk, I guess he would be a solid guy off the bench but I'm not fully impressed by taking UM leftovers.

I could be dead wrong here, just my current feelings.

Yea, I was hoping for something a little better to take one of our open schollys.

No need to bank it, just give it to Burton.

Any Max sightings yet????

[HoosiersLoveBanners 797]

All of the folks on here who wouldn't like this probably didn't like the NZ addition either..and they were all wrong. Be happy if he wants to come here and I'm sure he can certainly add something to the mix up front. We need the depth and can still use the scholly next year
