If coach is recruiting this kid then I trust it. Let's see how this plays out

Do we really want this guy?

Based on this tweet or in general? If Troy leaves, unless a high level defection for 2016 or stellar grad transfer materializes, why wouldn't you want a freak athlete like McSwain?

McSwain said he plans to make his decision after visiting Indiana. #iubb

Freaky Freddie

Let's say Troy stays.

Is Priller gone then if Freddie Commits?

Pure speculation...but I don't think Mcswain's commitment will be accepted until Troy is thought to be out the door. Crean is a huge part of the process (talking w Troy, Lucas, Boo, the NBA, family) and will have a read on it

Haha yeah. Definitely taking Troy over Mcswain if given the option.

Think McSwain comes either way. MSB should go somewhere he can get some PT.

Psh he'll wait around exclusively to play and start in the Olympics and NBA All Star games.

Priller really does need to go. Its his junior year and he ain't getting playing time anytime this year. Even his senior year is a long shot, so why waste a scholly? If he wanted to be a walk on, then I'd love to keep him around!! Burton and Niego were both walk ons and played more than him. I don't like the idea of pushing a kid out, but we gave him two years to see what could happen and it just didn't work out. With Troy staying or leaving that should be the case. If Troy leaves we take McSwain and another guy or if he stays we still take McSwain. It sucks saying all that, but this is IU and I can't think of many other big schools that have someone like Priller this long on the roster. Its been two great years to have him and he made the tourney each yr and got a B1G title and a sweet sixteen. We probably gave him two of the best years of his life.

STOP!

With Priller, it ain't about playing time. The kid is obviously bringing more to the team than we see. He is MSB for G's sake!

Santa has three lists for gifts- The good, the bad, and anything MSB wants!

If he was bringing something to the team Crean would find a way to get him some minutes. He is literally the last guy to go in.

Don't you always save the best for last?   Yes, it was a mistake, but every team has a 'last guy' maybe not on scholly, but someone has to fill that role.  If you watch him during games, I'm not sure there's a bigger bench cheer leader than MSB.  I don't know how it will play out, but maybe he'll graduate next year and leave or go the grad route.  Let's be honest.  If it got to the point in the season that we absolutely had to go to MSB for major playing time then our team has a lot bigger problem than MSB being on scholarship.
