Never stop recruiting.

There's almost zero footage of him playing ball on the internet. Why?

Is it me, or does Gary Harris look like an expecting mother in that picture?

Wish we had room for him... unfortunately we already have a tall, pure shooter in the class of 2013 a la Hartman.

We've already got more wings than a bird sanctuary.

Well, when you consider the studs that Collin will be surrounded with... he won't necessarily have a chance to be the #1 gun on the team. But that's not a bad thing!

I think the real question boils down to which point guard from 2013 will be okay with coming off the bench for Yogi for 3 years.

Tijan Jobe?

Re: Class of 2013 Intro: Point Guards

Uncle Joey — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 17:17:28 -0000

Crean likes to run an offense with many talented, quick guards who can handle/distribute the ball. Look at when he was at Marquette... most of the time he had at least 3 guards on the floor who could all handle the rock.

I see him picking up a 2013 kid who is somewhat of a hybrid/combo guard--someone who can attack and score, but also fill in for Yogi at the point when called upon. I don't foresee us picking up a "true" point guard, because they would know that they would spend a considerable amount of their career behind Yogi on the depth chart.

Clearly, Tom Crean is concerned about public safety... he doesn't want anyone to get hurt from getting too close to his guns.

Re: Spring highlights: Hanner Perea

Uncle Joey — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 17:27:12 -0000

I hope Crean is actively recruiting more bigs in the upcoming years, because I have a strange feeling that Mr. Perea won't be around too long.

This guy dunks the ball better than I can on my Nerf rim in my bedroom.

Re: IU recruits move down in updated Scout rankings

So after jumping 50 spots, McGary is now a legitimate 5 star. I'm sure this will garner even more attention from the powerhouse schools.

I'm not trying to bad mouth a kid on a public forum, but...

Lets just say that DSR would've been the type of recruit that would've fit in with Sampson's players.

Re: Eric Gordon All-Star Classic Video: Zak Irvin

Uncle Joey — Tue, 03 May 2011 19:04:55 -0000

I could be wrong, but at this point Purdue looks pretty "full" at the moment for 2013.

Re: Eric Gordon All-Star Classic Video: Devin Davis Jr.

Uncle Joey — Tue, 03 May 2011 19:03:59 -0000

Could he end up being the DeJuan Marrero of the 2013 class? Bit of a 'tweener, but does everything pretty well.

Re: Pittsburgh Jam Fest HD Video: Mark Williams

Uncle Joey — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 18:59:56 -0000

I don't think he compares at all to Watford. CWat is more of a pure shooter, plays rather passively, and is afraid of contact.

Mark Williams seems to be a banger; someone who's going to spend most of his minutes lurking around in the paint, cleaning up rebounds and getting some easy baskets within a few feet of the rim.

Re: Pittsburgh Jam Fest HD Video: Mark Williams

Uncle Joey — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 18:57:17 -0000

A lot of you are forgetting he's only a sophomore. He has a TON of time to improve his game. It seems like he has the basics and the fundamentals down... like when he gets the ball in the paint, he "knows" what to do, its just a matter of teaching himself how to be an effective post player and working on his moves.

I personally like his potential.

Re: Pittsburgh Jam Fest HD Video: Mark Williams

Uncle Joey — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 11:50:39 -0000

His list of potential suitors is getting to be pretty extensive. IU fans should be drooling over a 250 lbs 6'11" prospect who doesn't have the words "raw" and "project" attached to him.

If Crean and company can coach McGary to become comfortable playing in the paint and really honing his schools as a big ten bruiser (and not just settling for playing on the perimeter), then I think he has a very high ceiling. He could very well become the complementary piece to the puzzle with Zeller and Perea in the front court.

My worries are:
--IU isn't pursuing McGary as hard as some other recent schools are, and some other new "shiny" schools will woo him their way.
--We may not have room for him in 2012 regardless, especially if we land Harris.

EDIT: I totally thought I was posting this in the McGary thread. Ah well, I won't delete it and instead flaunt my idiocy. Cheers.

Its AAU, do they even really run an offense? From what I've seen, its mostly glorified street ball where everyone focuses on showcasing their individual talents.

One of the best rebounders in NBA history was on 6'6".... that's right; Dennis "The Worm" Rodman.

...I think I still have his jersey stashed away somewhere at my parent's house :P
