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. Honestly, most of our walk ons were pretty good HS players. I think back over 30 years of all the kids that were very good Indiana HS players I've watched who played sparingly for a MAC school or went DII and I just don't see B1G talent with Gelon. Heck, even Priller was a good HS player and 6'9" to boot. And the timing? Very perplexing. Quote
BtownBanner6 Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Yeah no doubt this guy should not have been offered a scholarship, and if In fact 3-4 years down the road he becomes a rotation player I'll be very impressed with IU's ability to develop. Quote
MadAboutIndiana Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Really, guys? A walk on? You should all be coaching a Big Ten team for sure Great fans here at INDIANA. Great, fine and good fans that love thurrrr team daggumit maxwell 1 Quote

BtownBanner6 Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 So he's gonna be worse than Matt Roth how exactly? Well for starters Matt Roth was recruited by a 6 win team and contributed nicely while he was here. Quote

MadAboutIndiana Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Well for starters Matt Roth was recruited by a 6 win team and contributed nicely while he was here. Matt Roth was signed by Sampson, first of all. You must be misremembering. I LOVED Matt Roth but to say he's substantially better as a prospect/player than Gelon? How do you guys know that if you've never even seen Grant play? "Contributed nicely" what does that mean? He was a great comrade. Great shooter. What else did he contribute? And why can't Grant do the same thing, but at 6'5"?! ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

Obviously Grant wasn't dominate by any means or any aspect of the game. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

You truly think they watched one game before offering? This wasn't a risk move or a chance taken or a flier. He wanted Gelon. Roth would've whooped Grant? Okay, man. I give up. Quote

I'm going to assume Matt Roth will be a much better college player, but if you think Gelon will get to where Roth was good for him then. HoosierAloha and Dalton26 2 Quote

People compare them because both are white and 3 point shooters. Though Roth was a better 3 point shot MAKER. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

If Gelon turns out to be an outside sniper by his junior year that would be great. However, why not go the grad transfer route to snag an outside sniper you don't have to wait in for 2-3 years. I guess if he's a good teammate, stays out of trouble, and works hard he is a good next to last bench guy. Hopefully we don't lose out on a 2017 recruit because we don't have spots available...
