(2016) PG Devonte Green to INDIANA

[Bowhunter]

Was he better than Penn State's Stephens that we recruited.? I wondered how Green made Jordan brand game until I saw his roster. This is the same regional game that Peter Jurkin played in.

‏ ‏@Ari_Kramer: Team NY beats Team East, 148-128. Devonte Green finishes w/ 9 pts, 8 assts, 7 rebs, 7 stls. 

I know it's an all star game but nice to see home do a little bit of everything.

Why are some taking shots at Green? And saying the way his brother is means bad things about him? Lol man I just don't get it sometimes!! Look at his offer list...plenty GOOD teams were after him. His brother barely got drafted and is a starter on the Spurs won if you watch NBA is saying something in itself. He just got paid and had plenty teams after him before resigning. I haven't heard anything bad about Danny and if it were true I can almost guarantee Popovich wouldn't have wanted him back so bad. Let's stop attacking our own players PLEASE! For all of Creans misses he has a hit for and a lot of coaches just have misses. I'm thrilled to have this kid and think come his junior year he will show a lot of people he was under ranked!! Rankings are so overrated and as IU fans we should know that better than most.

I really don't think anyone is knocking Green. The people on this forum are excited about him. Me and class of 66 were joking about just missing a quadruple double. Jokes. Only thing knocking him was the poster comparing him to his brother. I think this kid has mad potential. People wonder why he isn't ranked higher. Besides that, people like devonte.

It's just the Internet. It's not an attack on anyone

Personally I think Green is going to be more than solid.

Thanks Wayne.  Really people, if it was our 2 posts that put some people's panties in a knot, you really need to lighten up.  I truly feel he's going to be a very solid contributor.

It wasn't you or his it was the one comparing him to his brother. Don't worry yourself too much. I just don't get why his brother who has no history of being a bad dude gets brought up.

I wish it were just 50 days until there were touchdowns on campus. Can we put "football season" into the countdown?

[LIHoosier]

Young fella sure isn't ducking the spotlight.

 

[Hoosierfan2017]

I'm excited about this kid. I have no idea how good he'll be next year, but I have a good feeling for some reason. 

[Trish]

I'm very excited for this kid. Throw 15 pounds on him and a summer working out under Crean, he will be alright.

Need to have realistic expectations with him.

The talent is most assuredly there, but he's got a long, long way to go before he is a "B1G caliber decision-maker" at point guard.

SIAP Hadn't watched this vid before. I thought it was interesting and added a little insight. This was after signing but prior to reporting.
