UM Graduate Transfer Max Bielfeldt To IU

[realbig304 106]

Welcome Max!!

 

Now on to Thon.

Felt strongly this was going to happen. Solid addition. I hope we didn't make any promises we can't keep. Crean needs to play our best players, IF that includes Max, so be it.

Most importantly, will he be better than Hanner? That's the BIG question.

[Hoosierfan2017 21,079]

I don't care where we ranked on his list of choices, we're his final decision and that's all that matters to me. Come on down Max!

Well...if that's the big question, let me be the first to answer it for you!

 

Yes.

[Stuhoo 79,925]

There has been a pretty good reception for the idea of adding Max, but let me make my thoughts perfectly clear:

There are some players that look good on paper or on recruiting star tallies, and there are some players who help a team win..in many, many ways.

With the team we have coming back, Max Bielfeldt would be a far greater asset for the Hoosiers than HMP. In the locker room, in practice, in the development of Thomas Bryant, and defensively during games.

Max Bielfeldt is the kind of role player that will, without question, put us closer to a potential championship run.

 

'Scuse me while I quote myself! 

 

This is a VERY important addition. Thomas Bryant better be ready to play big in practice, cause Max is gonna teach him a few toughness lessons.

[Parakeet Jones 3,745]

He's a Hoosier now. In the end I am happy an glad to have him aboard.

[HoosiersLoveBanners 797]

Great addition. Adds Size, BIG XP and depth. Still get to use the scholly next year. This is a win win for both Max and IU

[Rookie33 932]

Great get which effectively neutralizes the loss of Hanner and we may even come out better than if he'd remained.

Absolutely this. Max could go the whole season without scoring a point and still be an invaluable member of our team. Thomas Bryant's going to learn what it takes to bang in the Big Ten from the very beginning.

SCHWEET. Welcome aboard, Max!

[Brass Cannon 24,362]

Ok him and Holt should keep our frontline respectable

Btw thank You Chicago for the help

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,092]

So, are we more likely to play 2 actual BIGs now?

I hope so.

Just saw Bielfieldt playing against MSU in a replayed game on the Big Ten Network.

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,092]

Very curious to see how Crean and Co. spend the last scholarship. Is Thon a reality? If not, Crean won't bank the scholarship. Give it to Burton? Probably not. Give it to the new PG, Harrison? Nah.

Hmmm?

Wasn't he chasing some unranked 2-star power forward in Texas recently?

Max is awesome we want him.

He's going to ISU, he wasn't that great anyway.

Wait,he's a hoosier, best thing ever.

I really don't care how/why he came here,he's here now and he will help. <-----And that's all that matters.

[HoosierAloha 30,044]

Welcome aboard Max.
Please lead these young men on/off the court and push them. His experience on B1G title and FF teams could go a long way for players like Hartman, RoJo, Holt, Bryant, Morgan, and OG going forward.

The reality is he is not awesome but he is a great fit for our needs. I wasn't ecstatic about him in the beginning, but I've warmed up to it. Just because he doesn't have big upside doesn't mean he can't help. I see him as our "Ziesloft" in the post. 8-20 minutes a game. Sound fundamentals. No all star but a ball player.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Glad he is aboard and I don't blame him for taking his time and figuring out which college was the right choice for him to continue his education and basketball career.

And maybe now we won't see Z in the post this year.lol
