(2016) SG Grant Gelon commits to IU

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Do you think he ever actually unpacks his suitcase?  Asking for a friend.

[Alford Bailey]

Good grief! Might be time to just get a degree and move on with life.

What happens first:  he runs out of collegiate eligibility or he starts drawing Social Security?

Hopefully he's found a permanent basketball home.

FINAL:  Bethel Hoops remains undefeated with a 93-86 victory over Governors State.  Grant Gelon: 30pts, 9rbs.

This thread is great. Go back and read some of the early glory of this thread.

I wasn’t posting here when Gelon was recruited....but I did see him play in high school.  My thoughts upon seeing him play and knowing he was going to IU could best be summed up as “huh?”.

Matt Roth nor Grant Gelon should have had a scholarship on any Indiana team that hopes to contend for the accolades our fan base expects. Roth came in during a desperate time in the program, and Gelon came in when even Tim Prillers and Jeremiah Aprils were scholarship recipients. Roth would have been great on a mid-major squad, in my opinion. Beautiful shot, but extremely limited in his effectiveness in extended minutes. Gelon, probably at best, may have developed into a similar role at Indiana. Hope he finds the time to develop and succeed at a mid-major somewhere.

Roth was a good enough shooter to play literally anywhere in college. It made up for any other shortcomings. Zeisloft was successful on a B1G title team, Roth could have been as well.

Zeisloft was a far better defender and had other elements to his game beyond catch and shoot.

 

This is so friggin old, and the last person on earth I want to have a pointless discussion about pointless things is Joe DeBlow. Happy holidays.

Zeisloft also played on more consistent teams. And you can make the case that Roth was a much better shooter. If only Crean gave him the chance to be on that 12-13 team... that was something we needed off the bench.

Superman HAHA!

[Hoosierfan2017]

That crowd reaction was weak. Bethel's the level of school he probably should've been at all along. 

[bleedhoosier]

Looks like we should have kept him

[Walking Boot of Doom]

Could you imagine being posterized like that by Gelon? Gotta just go back to the locker room, change, go home, and never touch a basketball again.
