That’s because U of L full court presses a bunch. With the athletes that Crean has now, he should do that. Speed things up and we can knock off those badgers.

IU was recruiting Mitch, not sure what happened. MM is from Chesterton, home of one of my all time favorite hoosiers.

I watched Sam all the way during his High School , and now for one year at The Big Ten. this kid was a stud as a 9th grader, and as a freshman at UW. He will be a hand full, for 4 years.

Agree

Dekker is good and I wouldn’t turn him away, but if I could only add one i’d take Harris or Tim Frazier either one ahead of Dekker.

Sentence me at the same time cause I’m pleading guilty as well. I’m a certified wittle wosey cheeks hater.

Who knows is right, but it was heavily rumored that it was some of the off court things that he found fun to do that concerned the IU coaching staff.

After seeing him and his game up close at the annual Derby All Star Game I was thinking the exact same things. I openly wondered if the would even make it at U of Slow and not end up transferring to a place that played a faster paced game.

A: they were playing L’ville who is the most fouling team I’ve ever watched in all of NCAA and the ref’s allow’s it…almost to the point where they are conditioned to it.

B: they let them play that game….I can name three who should have been fouled out of that game for Lville.

I was pulling for Mich but the last two times L’ville one the title IU won the following years. “81 & “87.

BluegrassHoosier,
Totally agree, I assume you live in pUKe country and watch alot of bb. I curious as to your thoughts on which team gets away with the most hand checking esp…last year. Hint: NCAA title.
BC

Gary Harris??? SG / outside shooting is our most glaring weakness. Dekker can shoot the three, but he can’t take his man off the dribble like Gary, and I don’t think he can defend as well. Dekker will end up being better than Sheehey (and Hollowell and maybe Troy Williams), but right now he’d be a little redundant on our team with Sheehey, Hollowell, Williams, etc.

MM might become victim of a glory run in the tournament and then should of gone pro. Will be interesting to if the stars line up again.

they were both already on the list down a ways

“best PG in the B1G” … what are your standards? He is a below average scorer, slightly above average ball handler, if he didn’t foul people every time down the court his defense would be average at best, but sense he does he somehow is considered the best defender in the conference and maybe the country. OVERRATED

not gonna stay, not a chance. He’s gone after this year unless he just doesn’t show up and put the work in

yeah he came alive in the tournament, but was pretty disappointing in the regular season for Michigan or at the very least over shadowed by all of the talent around him. He should be the go-to-guy in this offense this year as far as shooting goes anyway. He has the talent, its just whether he steps up or not

He’s one of those rare guys I like watching play, even though I root against him. He’s just so good.

We take project after project after project at the center spot, none of whom worked, then don’t recruit Mitch? Is that really what happened?

He and Zeller could have been on the floor at the same time last year, especially since Hanner didn’t pan out as a freshman.

If I could pick any one other player from the BigTen to play for IU, it would be Dekker.

Hammond was on a prior list
