And if you're going to lambaste someone for their lack of intelligence, you may want to consider spelling and punctuation.

I hope they come out to Portland. There are a ton of people from IU who work at the various tech companies here.

You gotta hand it to UMHoops.com, they always have good recruit videos.

Re: Scholarship situation will work itself out

bahickma — Thu, 20 May 2010 06:59:11 -0000

I don't like this at all. It's hypocritical. We want them to make a 3-4 year commitment to us, but we aren't willing to honor their commitment by not running them off or replacing them? I dunno, it just doesn't seem right to me.

Re: Around the Hall: Big Ten expansion, ACC-Big Ten Challenge, more

bahickma — Tue, 11 May 2010 13:13:00 -0000

That's true. I wrote my comments last night and was incredibly tired/grumpy. I probably didn't give him a fair shake to begin with. He definitely has skill though.

Re: Around the Hall: Big Ten expansion, ACC-Big Ten Challenge, more

bahickma — Tue, 11 May 2010 04:14:56 -0000

Exactly. And a lot of those passes weren't necessary or were the result of poor defense and a subpar opponent. I'd like to see video from his season against a good team.

Re: Indiana adds Guy-Marc Michel to 2010 recruiting class

bahickma — Sat, 08 May 2010 11:42:08 -0000

I'm going to remain optimistic with this one. Maybe his game will translate fine to Big 10 play. He could be a diamond in the rough. It wouldn't be the first time someone's come from relative obscurity to perform well on a big stage. I know people are upset about this right now and don't believe in the guy, but we have to stay upbeat and trust that we're righting the ship.

Re: Switch to Indiana Elite paying off for Yogi Ferrell

bahickma — Thu, 06 May 2010 10:18:00 -0000

I gotta tell you, I used to look at the news of us recruiting this kid and just roll my eyes or shake my head. I didn't want us to land him and I can't even remember why. It might have had something to do with him being 5'9. However, after actually seeing him play I've done a complete 180 and now I really would like for us to get him. Yogi's so quick with the ball and elevates so well on his jumper that it won't even matter that he's 5'9. He's got great court vision and busts his butt on every play. Yogi Ferrell would be a welcomed addition for this Hoosier.

Re: IU announces 2008-2009 men’s basketball schedule

bahickma — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 17:23:51 -0000

Just glancing through the schedule I noticed a lot of games that we are very capable of winning. Optimistically, I think at least 17 of these games are winnable. Call me crazy or out of touch with reality, but I think it's a possibility. I also counted the two Illinois games for spite.

Re: Q & A: Maurice Creek

bahickma — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 13:44:54 -0000

I wondered that, too. I'm hoping they're backing off because of an extreme level of interest in Indiana. That's just being optimistic though.

And what are the rumors about Derrick Favors and Maurice Creek?

Re: Jamar Smith violates probation, now a wanted man

Man, this is unfortunate and really sad. I hope this kid gets his stuff together and everything works out for him in the end.

haha Marco did give us one unforgettable night, though. 36 points on the nation's returning Defensive Player of the Year? Absolutely. A dunk over Greg Paulus to take the lead, which resulted in the perforation of my ear drums? You got it. So much hope for the rest of a season that when we all finally came back down to Earth we realized that the team was basically average-to-slightly-above it was as heartbreaking as any time we had ever endured in our lives? You'd better believe it.

I think it's perfect. You could put together crazy lists of all the stuff that Hoosier fans love. Detailed reporting on it all, and before you know ITH becomes THE resource website for anyone who doesn't know or wants to know more about Indiana University basketball. Think of the possibilities. You could turn this website from an outstanding blog to the hottest spot for all things Hoosier basketball.

Re: Your participation in this exercise would be greatly appreciated

bahickma — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 12:58:37 -0000

We should put a list together of the most loved players in IU history. You know, the guys that weren't All-Americans but got the biggest ovations every year at Hoosier Hysteria and stuff. A lot of names come to mind here because there's so many legends like that who now make up what is Indiana basketball lore.

Re: Your participation in this exercise would be greatly appreciated

bahickma — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 11:41:44 -0000

And what's the deal with Mike Woodson? Some people have Woodson on their lists while leaving off people like May and Benson.

Re: Your participation in this exercise would be greatly appreciated

bahickma — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 11:40:18 -0000

No particular order:
Isiah Thomas
Steve Alford
Calbert Cheaney
Kent Benson
Scott May
George McGinnis
Jimmy Rayl
Alan Henderson
Walt Bellamy
Don Schlundt

I believe most IU fans will take the entire history of IU into account anyways. I was born in '86 but I was raised better than to exclude some of the old-timers from this list.

Yeah, they'll have to make a decision on whose scholarship to rescind.

Re: Bruce Weber: ‘Indiana Will Suck’

bahickma — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 16:47:43 -0000

I don't mean to be a jerk here...but Kobe Bryant is one of the best defenders in the NBA.

They call Legion "Kobe" because he dominates their pick-up games and practices. But that only says that nobody on the Illini squad is capable of defending a mediocre guard like Legion.

Re: Rob Senderoff talks about the hearings, his future

bahickma — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 16:50:19 -0000

I'm really glad Coach Senderoff came forth and at least admitted his part in some of this. If you need a reminder of how an assistant can be black-balled by head coaches for going against his head coach, look at Bruce Pearl while he was an assistant at Illinois. He turned his coach in and had to coach at USI for like 8 years.

Re: Should IU block Jordan Crawford from transferring to Kentucky?

bahickma — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 12:19:35 -0000

We aren't far better off without him at all, really. Jordan Crawford is a 4-year college player, he wasn't Eric Gordon. You can't expect him to be perfect in his first year. I hope Indiana let's him go wherever he wants. He came to our school to play for a good school, a seemingly good coach at the time, to get his education I guess, and to have a good college basketball experience. He got robbed on two of those. I don't think him being on Kentucky will matter anyways because they have a lot of talent coming in and he may never seen the floor while he's there.

Re: Jordan Crawford not returning to IU

bahickma — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 23:02:31 -0000

Does anyone know how Devan Dumes is at a point guard? I know he can shoot it, but what about his abilities as a floor general? Kevin if you haven't seen the video yet, check out YouTube "MidStateHoops.com Presents Verdell Jones III-Jerryd Bayless." It's amazing to see the variety of ways that VJ3 can score. I like Nick Williams and Tom Pritchard at the 3 and 4, too. What about Tijan Jobe? What does anyone know about him other than that he is huge?

3-Stars Who Ended Up Doing Well:

Luke Harangody - Notre Dame, Big East Player of the Year
Tory Jackson - Notre Dame
Curtis Jerrells - Baylor
AJ Abrams - Texas
Jeremy Pargo - Gonzaga
Derrick Brown - Xavier
Shan Foster - Vanderbilt, SEC Player of the Year
Devon Hardin - Cal
Joseph Jones - Texas A&M
James Mays - Clemson
Sean Williams - Boston College
Josh Heytvelt - Gonzaga
Derrick Low - Washington State
Trent Plaisted - BYU
Chris Lofton - Tennessee
Paul Millsap - Louisiana Tech
Aaron Gray - Pitt

These are just a few that I caught when I was skimming through the Top 150s from past years.
