  1. It's taught at the high school level, not college. Go up strong or with your best move, counter move. It has been said before that Knights players had to be taught to forget the pump fake in the NBA. I for one, think the pump fake in the paint or shot fake are still the number one fundamental move all players should use beyond a triple threat.
  2. Not saying that at all....I'm saying its about the relationship. Cheating was going on at UNC at the same time. My point is why wouldn't Zeller play for Sampson? He is loved by his players and is an excellent coach.
  3. Maybe not, but his brother went to play for Williams where guys on the team were taking fake classes, etc.
  4. Kids love options, this kid could probably get a scholarship to any program in the country. It's more about getting the NBA scouts on him early. He would be just fine at IU and Purdue.
  5. No real way to say that as they are not facing anyone else. Can't say they are not better or worse. Maybe they are beating each other up. Maybe early losses hurt chemistry and focus. It's a tough conference and that shouldn't be taken away.
  6. Totally agree. It's real and as Urban mentioned is real. It's not just him, the coaching staff beleives in him. Up and down the staff, this arguably one of the most most talented staffs in IU history. It's going to elevate the program, and it has. IU has a brand. They have a + Adidas contract and they have invested in the football program and keeps investing. There strength and conditioning program is second to none and they are well respected amongst the high school community across the country. We shouldn't underestimate the IMG academy connection as well now. Hopefully, along with Allen, they pay the coaching staff. And, continue to upgrade the practice facilities. The product is now there, now it's time to prepare post covid, the gameday experience for fans. They have a chance to capture a new generation to be hard core IU football fans.
  7. I disagree, but that's what creats conversation. Those recruits mentione above are surprise recruits under Crean. This is Miller, much different. Look at the recruits already, Lander included. And, look at this roster it is balanced and has a strong underclassman nucleus to go with upperclassman. IU has a rising center committed, a role guy with plus upside. I think everthing will work itself out.
  8. Its going to be interesting to see who the staff makes a strong push for as it might be a sign to what is happening with the roster in the future. I beleive they wanted Trey K...because of skill, upside and best Indiana kid available after Lander reclassified. I'm not sure who they are recruiting hard since everything is quiet. I'm thinking there will be some surprise recruits that Hunter might be connected to. Time will tell.
  9. Unless a kid is in the McDonalds All American running like a Lander, Trayce, Romeo the ratings are meaningless, at least to me. Green was in the 200's and there are draft picks every year of off the radar kids. Give basketball players and kids with grit, then let them work with the strength staff and coaching staff and they will end up being special. This kid is one of those - upside there. Grit, IQ, work ethic there. Fundamentals there and developing and only thing keeping him from top 50 ranking probably is foot speed (never seen hom play. Got thst from reading Snows response). With that being said, kids loves to run the floor and probably gets down the court better than kids who run like deers.
  10. This kid has tons of potential and is going to make an impact.
  11. Really like this pickup- big upside, tough kid, has a motor. Seems like recruits coming in have those traits plus personality. IU basketball future is bright.
  12. Basketball takes 2-3 players to turn around a program/momentum. Issue is - is there a system in place to implement the players.
  13. On one of Dandakich ramblings, which I enjoy by the way. He is kind of a Dan Bernstein/Mike North (chicago version); however, actually been there done that. Anyhow, his rambling was something like... "I'm done with the guy.....he doesnt help his players....I got the BG and WV jobs on my own.....I was blacklisted by Knight after leaving IU......." something like that. Obviously there is more to the story. After calling Pat Knight childish names on air -- I was surprised by Pat not going there and instead was the bigger person. Pat Knight is as straightforward as it gets and he didn't get on the defense.
  14. Listening to Pat Knights interview, he acknowledged he knows Dakitch does not like his family. To my surprise he didn't blast him, but thanked him because Coach Knight made Dakitch play one on one with Pat everday when Pat was in High School (I think) and he didnt complain. Pat thanked him for making him a division one athlete and said he would never take that time away. Dakitch changes his stories so much, I don't know what to believe. I do think their bad blood started because he claims Knight said he will let Datkich take over for him, never happened. And then he didn't help him het his BGreen job. I could be wrong with that story, just going over the many podcasts I listened to last year while doing home repairs.
  15. With all do respect, how do we really know if todays game was in the works? Rumors spread quicky, and by his appearance at Marion his health and the weather did not keep him from the game. People in the know, including friends of players, jump on rumors as well.
  16. So, after a victory and hard fought game, did Knight ever make it?
  17. Don't know why many think the staff wanted Cross also. They have two kids in the class that can shoot the ball and have similar skill sets. Geronimo is the type of athlete that makes a team win, period. Quick, has length, can jump out of the gym, and has a competitive high motor. Geronimo was who they went after hard once he was in the picture. Took a while to get him in the picture because he has just arrived on the scene!
