Contra.

You mean it's not the end of the world? These people are nuts.

This one is tons of fun as well. Hope you don't have anything to do for a few hours.

I will be absolutely shocked if Hollowell is on this team next year. Hell, he almost left after last year. Next year's roster could look a LOT different than this year's, even with only 2 seniors and Vonleh as expected departures. Yes, I suspect you will be correct about the first point; just did not want to get into transfer speculation. I agree . . . but counting on Spring recruits and one-year transfers to fill large voids is a dangerous game. It's possible there will be a deus ex machina to fix the frontcourt, but I find it unlikely. And, either way, it's no way to run a program. Totally agree that they will get crushed inside next year. I do wonder how loud the dissent will become. I guess, as usual for Crean, a lot depends upon next year's recruiting.

His contract buy-out remains huge. So, for practical purposes, I'm not sure it matters. But things could become very difficult for him next year fan-base wise (and next year figures to be worse, in my opinion, considering Vonleh will be an early entry and the frontcourt will be basically vacant). I think that's the biggest problem--this year was always going to be a rebuilding type year, but without a frontcourt there's nothing being built towards. Who knew that recruiting might become the issue? I actually don't see them being much worse next year. They aren't very good this year. And I can see a huge improvement from a couple guys (mainly Troy Williams). Still won't be a good enough team, though. IU is about to lose a lottery-pick big man, a player that is one of the most talented guys to wear an IU uniform in years (I might even assert since the early 80s). Without him, their frontcourt will be Hanner Perea (maybe), Devin Davis (tweener), Jeremy Hollowell (not really even a tweener, maybe a stretch-four), and ??? (guessing they'll pick up some late recruit or fifth-year transfer). They are going to get brutalized inside. I will be absolutely shocked if Hollowell is on this team next year. Hell, he almost left after last year. Next year's roster could look a LOT different than this year's, even with only 2 seniors and Vonleh as expected departures.

Brain damaged Fred, perhaps.

Illinois at -3 has to be the lock of the week, right?
-
Vince Edwards to Purdue.
-
I'll be shocked if Snider isn't an Illini by the end of the day.
-
The Wall Street Journal's Blind Bracket is back. Apparently I really like Davidson and Arizona- both to Sweet 16.
-
Eron Harris is a good kid, but between Relaford and McLemore, he's getting an education tonight. And, you can't guard Withey with a Sasquatch.

Borzello is a tool, but his "analysis" is outstanding:
-
Wisconsin basketball is an abomination.
-
Disgusting.

He's 1 for 9 from three point range this season...he can stop shooting those any time...and yeah, he shouldn't dribble either. Play defense, pass the ball, and crash the boards, please. Hollowell has shown he can really shoot it in the past. He's a really young 18 and the game is a bit big for him right now. Once he adjusts to the college game and gets through this rough patch, he'll be fine.

from what i've heard. it's down to Illinois and Ohio State. Meaning what you've read on twitter? Jesus, you don't even have the right 2 teams. guess i didn't. Hah. Good call by me. I`ll own that one, for sure. I should never post while drinking, especially after spending the last few days witth a bunch of blowhard coaches. Talking to one, who shouldve known better, who swore Michigan was it and OSU, PU, and Ill were on the outside looking in. It sounds like they pushed really hard in the last couple of weeks, especially once Vonleh cancelled his visit. Anyway, good get for them, good call by you, bad form by me.

It's really fun having a competent GM who has a plan. Let's do this more often. -
And announcers that may be blind, deaf, and/or [expletive].

Going by his offer sheet, I would hope not. Looks like Groce is gonna go after the big boys or fail trying. I am OK with this course of action. Tyler Griffey's/Bill Cole's are pretty much the exact type of player I don't want to see at Illinois anymore. On that note... Xavier Rathan-Mayes is apparently visiting UI this weekend... I believe Jackson is at Notre Dame this weekend, along with VJ Beachem for his official. ND was the early favorite for Jackson but Illinois seems to have the most recent momentum. It will be interesting to see how this one plays out. I also heard, although not as recently, that Kansas was a real possibility as well. In the end, I would expect it to come down to UI or ND, making this weekend's visit pretty important.

I kind of doubt it. Crean is already working on a 6 man class for 2013 that would not include a spot for Patterson. Unless of course Austin Etherington goes pro, I guess that could open up an extra spot. :hello: Yeah, Patterson won't be going to IU.

Agreed on the thread titles. Maybe, but disagree on the tomfoolery.

Ted Freaking Lilly! :stickman: OMG TMFL How in the hell are Ryan Dempster and Serial Killer Ted best friends? Dempster's gonna end up with his head in a duffel if he brings that Harry Caray [expletive] to LA.

it would be amazing if they could keep this quiet until tomorrow. i'd love it. It's like Christmas Eve.

Indiana gets a commitment from 2013 SG Stanford Robinson. #88 or so on Rivals, 50's on Scout.
