milehiiu Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Who hoo. IU at 20 ! I'm buying my Rose Bowl tickets today. Oh, wait. Wrong sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addictedtoIU Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Not bad at 20. Feel like it's been a while to see our team ranked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierhoopster Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 1 minute ago, CauseThatsMyDJ said: In fairness, that’s the question mark. I think IU will be top 25, legitimately, assuming health. What Green shows this season likely will be key, but then with Romeo added to Morgan and Smith, and Fitz’s outside shot added, just solid play at the point should have us well in the hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD has done that because until we prove what we have at PG...it is a question mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider that we have a point guard coaching the team, eventually, I think the point will be a source of strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Devonte Green has such a huge opportunity staring him in the face, I hope he’s talented, mature and consistent enough to take advantage of it. I think the talent is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHoosier32 Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 i am usually the cautious one with expectations for the Hoosiers and generally pessimistic. i really think this is a top 25 team for sure though. i really think this should be a top 15 team. that said, preseason experts don't surprise me. we haven't been there in a while.

dbmhoosier Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 If we're even somewhat decent at PG we're easily a top 15 team IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier30 Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 The Hoosiers will be fine at PG Devonte Green has been working his butt off in the off season, this Hoosier team has at least sweet 16 talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By no means a knock on the k8d, but if we are counting on him to be a big producer this year we are in trouble. True PG but we will go as Green goes in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD has done that because until we prove what we have at PG...it is a question mark. It's a convenient excuse. But, it did not deter DeCourcey from ranking UCLA 14th. And, seriously, a lot of his teams in the Top 10 are unproven at the point. Kansas, Duke, Villanova, are all relying heavily on freshmen, which could swing either way. IU's roster deserves to be considered top 25. And, singling out PG, while not letting it effect ranking elsewhere is questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the difference is that some of those teams have 5*, top-ranked guys projected as future pro's as their new point guards. Yes still question marks, but not the same as a lower-ranked junior who has had chances to play and been wildly inconsistent. It's not apples-to-apples.

I'm also quite confused as to why people think Michigan won't be impacted by losing their far and away best player (Wagner), or why Purdue won't be impacted by losing 4 starters (we've seen that movie, Yogi's sophomore year).
