I'm assuming he's 22 because that guy might've confused basketball with Bodybuilding.

That is the SQUAD. Going to love this team and its versatility. Can't wait!

Not that I'm counting, but: 22 days until practice begins, 54 days until first exhibition and 64 days until the regular season opener. #iubb

I'm not trying to be mean or insulting , but we sort of look like a bunch of old men, like a YMCA team or something. They look HUGE! haha

 

RoJo looks like he's 35.

Several players look like they've had post edit muscles added... Hartman's head looks like it doesn't belong on his body and his neck is long.

If they combine their game with an old man Y game we should be in good shape.

Lindy's is not very high on the Hoosiers as a team this year.

Per Alex Bozich @ Inside The Hall

· Lindy’s ranks the top 25 players at all five positions nationally and two IU players are featured. James Blackmon Jr. is ranked the third best shooting guard and Thomas Bryant is the nation’s No. 2 center.

· In terms of frontcourts nationally, Indiana is ranked the eighth best behind Duke, Wisconsin, Kentucky, North Carolina, Oregon, Purdue and Kansas.

· Lindy’s ranks its top 40 teams nationally and Indiana is the lowest ranked of the six Big Ten teams mentioned. Wisconsin is No. 6, Michigan State is No. 11, Purdue is No. 12, Ohio State is No. 29, Maryland is No. 37 and Indiana is No. 38.

· Here’s the brief blurb explaining IU’s national ranking: “There’s talent on hand, but good luck replacing Yogi.”

· The publication predicts the order of finish in the Big Ten as follows: Wisconsin, Michigan State, Purdue, Ohio State, Maryland, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Northwestern, Iowa, Penn State, Nebraska, Minnesota and Rutgers.

· On its preseason all-conference team, both Blackmon Jr. and Bryant are first team. The other first team members are Maryland’s Melo Trimble, Iowa’s Peter Jok and Wisconsin’s Nigel Hayes.

· De’Ron Davis is regarded as the best incoming rebounder and the league’s best “signing coup.” Grant Gelon and Curtis Jones are mentioned in the recruiting/newcomers section as the best incoming shooters.

· 2016 NCAA tournament predictions for Big Ten teams are as follows: Wisconsin (Elite Eight), Michigan State (Sweet Sixteen), Purdue (Sweet Sixteen), Ohio State (Round of 32), Maryland (Round of 32) and Indiana (one and done).

· Indiana’s incoming recruiting class is regarded as the 13th best nationally.

· The Big Ten is ranked as the third best conference in the country behind the ACC and Pac 12.

Shocking. So far off other predictions. They aren't giving OG much credit, but if we have 2 first team players that alone should be enough to rank us higher. I call Bullsheviks on that Lindy magazine.
