Popular Post hoosierpap Posted February 28, 2016 Popular Post Posted February 28, 2016 I've seen discussion on next years team come up in various threads and just figured it made sense to consolidate it into one thread. Or that's how my brain works. Known losses: Yogi Ferrell, Nick Zeisloft, Max Bielfeldt Known additions: PF De'Ron Davis, CG Curtis Jones, CG Grant Gelon, CG Devonte Green Possible losses: Thomas Bryant, Troy Williams, James Blackmon??? Roster Josh Newkirk 6-1 185 Guard Jr. James Blackmon 6-4 195 SG Jr. OG Anunoby 6-8 215 SF So. Robert Johnson 6-3 195 CG Jr. Troy Williams 6-7 215 SF Sr. Thomas Bryant 6-10 245 C So. Collin Hartman 6-7 215 PF Sr Juwan Morgan 6-7 205 PF So. De'Ron Davis 6-10 230 PF Fr. Curtis Jones 6-3 170 CG Fr. Devonte Green 6-2 180 CG Fr. Harrison Niego 6-2 185 CG So. * Quentin Taylor 6-2 180 SG So. * Tim Priller 6-9 225 PF Jr. Grant Gelon 6-5 180 CG Fr. * walk on HoosierAloha, Class of '66 Old Fart, mamasa and 7 others 10 Quote

hoosierpap Posted February 28, 2016 Author Posted February 28, 2016 Possible starting lineup Robert Johnson 6-3 195 CG Jr. Troy Williams 6-7 215 SF Sr. Thomas Bryant 6-10 245 C So. De'Ron Davis 6-10 230 PF Fr. OG Anunoby 6-8 215 SF So. Thats a massive lineup. I think I'm even doing Davis a injustice listing him at 6-10, but everywhere has him at like 6-8...which simply is not true Napleshoosier, HoosierAloha, colonel06 and 1 other 4 Quote
Popular Post hoosierpap Posted February 28, 2016 Author Popular Post Posted February 28, 2016 I'm a little concerned with the PG position. We have no real insight into Newkirk, it's sorta the wild card. No one is going to replace senior YF and I do feel like his loss will be felt more than most are leading on. So I guess keys for me are can Rojo, Newkirk and the freshmen handle the load at PG? I have confidence that Rojo can take that next step. IU loses a lot of scoring in YF. To me, depending on JBJ's recovery, it's huge that he takes that next step. He can score, but he needs to do some of the other things that make the team better. Yes, mainly defense, which could be a task after 3 knee injuries. But also things like keep the ball moving, don't drive into the trees, communicate, etc. If Troy comes back, I'm just done expecting anything different. He'll have those "wow" games, and have those "wtf" games. TB (if he returns) and DD are going to be huge down low. I'm not sure if Crean starts both. DD will not have a high point total, imo, but will really help on defense and O/D rebounding. OG and Juwan...probably the most exciting thing about next year, for me, is seeing their improvement. Pretty sure one of those recruiting gurus said no one in the entire class had improved more from one summer to the next with OG. So trajectory. is. good. waitingon6, HoosierAloha, Class of '66 Old Fart and 6 others 9 Quote

hoosierpap Posted February 28, 2016 Author Posted February 28, 2016 Crean said recently that it's possible he gets to 7'0 according to someone out in CO, I believe. Yeah I hear he's 6-11. ESPN and 24/7 have him at 6-8 HoosierAloha and Hovadipo 2 Quote
Naturalhoosier Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 If TB and JBJ both return?!?! Whoa man, lookout. However, my confidence levels are TW = Gone (100%), TB = Gone (75%), JBJ = Gone (15%). I'll be shocked if JBJ goes. This team will be his next years. Strong focus on defense, active hands, lateral movement, etc then we're talking POY candidacy. HoosierAloha 1 Quote
