Here is another quote that proofs the chemistry the team is having and how important it is. I mean these guys are having fun working out? I've wondered how college athletes are able to put so much time and effort into a collegiate sport and still enjoy college life. I guess when you have a certain bond between players and a common goal they all strive to achieve then that much work can be fun.

This team will be *very* different from last year. Dumes and his chaotic 18 minutes per game are now available, Rivers and his 28 mpg will be reduced drastically and split with the new competition. We've replaced / consolidated Jobe & Muniru with Guy-Marc. Roth, Sheehey, Oladipo and Hulls will be fighting over those new minutes, with Creek taking back his starter role.

I'm very excited about the prospects. Just seems like our depth is so much better – now instead of throwing in DMoore or Finkelmeier, we may now go with the above listed and even Rivers will probably come off the bench this year. Depth is king.

If an offensive player makes 3 3's in a game, but the guy he is defending scores as many points or blows past him and gets you bigs in foul trouble, he is not much of an asset to your team.

He is a 3 point specialist and one of the best.

He will see even less time next year when AE comes to IU and when Sheehey and VO are improved.

Also something to consider, Will Sheehey is taller, quicker and has a better all around game. He is a CTC recruit. VO could be the best defender on the team this year. He has great speed and quickness and can cause havoc in passing lanes. He is about the same height as Roth but has a better physique. To me he will see playing time before Roth and he too is a CTC recruit.

Then there is Hulls, Creek, and VJIII all in spots ahead of Roth. He is anywhere between #3 and #5 on the shooting guard depth chart.
