well said. i agree with everything there. i dont see priller here for more than a year, two max, but i sure hope he proves me wrong.

This season, before a full year of strength, conditioning, nutrition, etc., all we need is 10 minutes/game from Tim.

Absolutely! But not just at the end of the half’s. Put Tim in 1 corner, Max in the other corner, have Yogi and Hanner run a high pick and roll (with Hanner crashing to the rim and not stepping back) with James, Robert or Nick at the 3-point line up top, and what will the defense do? Give up a good 3-point look or a lay-up or dunk? I like the offensive possibilities of this full roster! I just hope that Tim and Max can play enough defense and rebound to make this a “routine” possibility.

No way! Crean has ZERO power to force a student in good standing to move on . AD Glass rules on the 4 year commitment! As a Christian Crean has no leeway to make Tim (or any player’s life miserable). All he can do is not play Tim, and if Tim hits 60% of his 3’s, we fans will drive Crean away!

Duh. Senior moment before being senior. So what do you think can Tim contribute in this manner, what are your thoughts?

Tim is a roster filler. I’m sure Crean was very up front about that. 2 years max then move to the better mid major fit when we need the scholly. The signing gives Tim some solid experience and allows for full roster to practice with. Win-win for both sides right now and gives Crean options later. This 4 year great player talk just isn’t reality. Tim is not that type of talent.

Wow. That post is like a Charles Bukowski poem.

Personally I have no problem asking hard questions which infuriates
the tow the company line group on here for which I incur their wrath being
called always negative and I should go become a uk or PU fan.

See the Snookafly comment above, look I don’t know where he
gets his information maybe it’s true and even Snookafly admits not to be certain
but no one seems to bat an eye when a finger is pointed at a player(s) for any indiscretion
yet if I were to do the same toward CTC or the program many on here would go
bizzirk after me.

I like this recruiting class my hope is it mirrors the “09-10”
class that truly started with a vision that was to build toward a championship
caliber team. They did and honestly had VO, Cody, Mo, and Remy not left with
them I think it may have been realized. Unfortunately it did not become a
reload situation but a rebuild with a big recruiting class from which only 2
remain 1 still in question what will the contribution be. From last year to
this year the rebuild is in full motion anything from 18 – 22 wins I see as
realistic, if it’s an NIT bid that comes about I hope for a run to the
championship game, if rewarded with an NCAA bid I see the ceiling at another
Sweet Sixteen.

I played pick-up with Tom sometimes. He was always very crafty, a look here, a fake there, his body into you, and a million ways to release the ball to score from 12′ in! He was such a solid player that no one I knew doubted that he could play in the NBA if given a shot.

It was definitely a dead ball. All those guys are just taking a seat.

USA College Basketball has half’s not quarter’s.

I like Tim and his attitude: “no negativity”! I believe that he will produce much for IU Basketball over his 4 year career.

We were up by 30 in an open gym practice. I’m amazed they were as focused as that.

Thanks for that input.

They did that a few times in Canada and it seemed to work well
