(2016) SG Grant Gelon commits to IU

Just Wow! That is what I'm used to seeing unfortunately.

Prep school for a year for him if Troy comes back? Just a thought.

107 point all star game too. Just a putrid stat line.

Tucker Blackwell is a player that consistently puts up good stats. Wonder where he will play. Some small school will get a solid player with him. Eron Gordon continues to put up impressive stats as well.

Yogi clearly had a better high school career. It shouldn't have been close.

People don't like Park Tudor and their domination as a private school. Stupid politics relegated Yogi to runner up

Just because they were 2A. Gary Harris never even won a regional

I don't like private schools either. It is a joke they aren't in their own state tournament.

I wish he could walk on. I hate to be that way, but I'm just not feeling this guy.

This would be a fine idea, although not sure how it would affect the numbers for next year.

Seems like a perfect walk on candidate. He caught fire one game in front Crean and Crean fell in love. He's a capable shooter with capable size so there is a chance but he consistently puts up underwhelming games. Screams another Priller like signing except the timing.

I still say and have always said, if you want a one dimensional shooter, find it through grad transfer route. Much easier evaluation.

Just a curiosity. I would love to have seen where Gelon ended up had it not been IU.

My guess, it would have been more like IPFW, Ball State than Butler/Purdue/Notre Dame.

Anyway, I will back off. I don't intend to rail on this decision but it's been perplexing since the onset. Maybe in 2 or 3 years, I read this and look like a donkey.

Wouldn't it put us back at even if Troy comes back since Gelon isn't using his? I'm not sure how exactly that would work out, I'm just thinking of options if someone has to leave. I really can't see it being Priller. His girlfriend goes here and he's getting a full-ride, idk why he would give that up. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,392]

My guess, Priller graduates next year and will be a grad transfer somewhere for PT.

Schollies...

Hartman

Priller

Bryant

NBA/Transfer

maybe 2

4 spots

or 5 spots

No matter what I'll never understand this. Just offering makes zero sense.

Not a typical CTC coaching maneuver but certainly a possibility.

I'm sorry to the Gelon defenders, but he appears to be more of a Priller 4 year end of the bench guy, than a Zeisloft.

Indiana fans:

"Crean needs to recruit in-state kids who will stick around all four years! They have high basketball IQ and know what it means to wear the Candy Stripes!"

*Indiana signs Gelon*

"Eh, Gelon doesn't look like he can contribute right away, he sucks"

"I want Troy gone, he should just go to the NBA"

*Indiana signs Freddie McSwain*

"Eh, I'd rather have Troy back, this kid doesn't seem like he'll help the team"

Me: *Slams head into wall repeatedly until numb*

How can anyone say this at this point?! if he fails, then we can protest
