I know who Dave Telep is, but what does he know as far as who is good for Indiana, who will be good at Duke, and so on?  He doesn’t know and that was my point.  He rates these guys on what he sees on the floor as he is entertained in the summer circut.  Athleticism is the main component of his rankings, that is not hard to see.  A shooter with a floor game at guard is always rated lower than a guy with speed who can’t shoot from 15 feet.

Patterson has a ton of intangibles that so many of the kids that play his postion do not have.  Take his all around game, defense, rebounding, scoring, shooting, quickness, strength and athleticism and he is a top 10 SG in the country.  Instead, Telep focuses in on the upside projections because a kid is a slasher who can score and dunk like a monster.  In IU’s scheme, that doesn’t mean much, but what Buss brings to the table does!

I am not asking Telep to get them all right but it is an extremely subjective ranking system that is given far more credit than deserved.  Outside of the obvious top 20 players in the nation, the rest is just a crap shoot and too often the top 100 is soft and many players cannot even stay in schhol which lends more credibility to guys like Buss.

Well Said. In addition, I like the angle that Patterson will influence Yogi to match his defensive intensity in practice and in games.  This brings a balanced offensive/defensive point gaurd.

No doubt about that. It is pretty difficult for me to buy into that prediction, however. Dakich wants IU to succeed as much as anybody. That’s not to say that because of that I don’t respect any predictions he makes for IU — I mean after all, he’s certainly been right on some (Zeller, etc.) — but I just think that is an overly optimistic prediction for this Hoosiers team. By the way, pUKe just beat Morehouse College (a Division II team that has lost in the 1st round of their conference tournament – the SIAC – 4 years in a row) by 80 something points. Valpo leads at Arizona 5-4 15:25 1st. I don’t imagine that lead will hold up for too much longer lol.

CTC is coach of the year if that happens. I hope DD is right. 

I think X offers every good Indiana kid. 

I hope you are right because it looks like our juniors are still not exactly fleet of foot. 

Frankly, I don’t have a clue on whether he is right or not. I’ve never watched 2 minutes of any of these guys play in person or on video but I appreciate him (and Alex) taking the time to do an interview.

I second that

Possibly Sheehey.  We’ll know more this season.  If not, then Hollowell.  Both perfectly suited to light it up from the wing spot next year.

Excellent points.

Never crossed my mind that may be exactly what he is doing but I also think that’s his style…he is a genius.

Include Watford and Creek in that group, with both Remey and Austin close.
