BREAKING: Thomas Bryant returning to Indiana!

[bhaggard89 869]

I would love to see lineup of Hartman Davis TB Og and one guard. Think mismatches everywhere. Defensively we would be really good I believe throw jbj as the guard and we can still score a lot. Could be the unc team from this year

I don't like this lineup at all. JBJ isn't the one I'd trust as the ball handler. Hartman and JBJ would be a liability on defense. TB coming back helps no one more than Davis. He's going to be best suited as the first big off the bench.

So happy to have you back, Thomas. Now get the team to work, take us on a quest for #6.

[Tom White 1,435]

He isn't going anywhere and i bet Troy ends up being back too.

So then, there is good news.........AND bad news?

Ok, I'm gonna go hide now.

Such big news.  I love the versatility of our front court next year.

With Bryant back, I wouldn't mind seeing us add Spike Albrecht now, as I'm not really sure we need to find a 5th year big anymore.  However, I'd be fine trying to find a freshman or transfer big man to be able to practice against Bryant and Davis every day, in preparation to take the reins whenever Bryant does leave.

PG- Robert Johnson

SG- Blackmon (unless he doesn't play defense)

SF- OG ( he's already better than Troy)

PF- Deron Davis

C- Thomas Bryant

I'm not sure I'd go after another freshman at this time. We should have a good starting 5 with a solid backup at almost every position. If Troy leaves we only have one scholarship available. Depending on how the coaching staff feels about the point guard situation I would go after an athletic wing.

2017 is a talented instate class and we need 3-4 scholarships to give out. Hartman graduates and TB most likely leaves for the pros. If Troy stays or we get a grad transfer that is another available spot. I have a good feeling we land a few of our top targets in the 2017 class.

Don't be a chicken. In order to be the best you have to play the best.

Thomas Bryant is special, folks. You only get to do college once. The NBA isn't going anywhere; let the chips fall where they may as it relates to professional prospects and millions of dollars. There *is* more to it than money.

The New Assembly Hall is gonna be

We didn't play defense. None. New season = new results.

Who cares? We have to beat the best to win a Natty. I don't understand your fear of playing good teams.

[Naturalhoosier 15,475]

Natty wants a natty!

And a Zima!

I see that Freddie McSwain is virtually a 100% lock for IU. It'll be really interesting seeing him with that rotation too.

Maybe it's been explained in another thread but do we only get Freddy if Troy leaves?

I'm assuming that's the case

This is great news was very concerned. Now hopefully Troy follows the young fellas good example.
