5fouls Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 @btownqband @IU/Butler/Notre Dame. Unless I'm overlooking it, you guys left Konieczy (spelling) off your list. He was in the original Top 6. Going to have to squeeze that group at the end a little tighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 I will say... the 2nd teammate might be at a slight disadvantage (Jacobi and Hughes) because of them already having a teammate on the team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys can help me with this ....the votes are all in before the workout ....do the coaches running the workout get input on selection ? Or is is strictly left to vote totals ?

I also know there were times when a player was selected to the team more because of his school coach also being the All-Star coach. Kind of like Steve Alford making the Olympic team in '84. Probably would not have happened if Knight had not been coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, why even have them. I think the announcement of the Top 6 ahead of time is probably done to prevent something really strange from happening. There was a lot of discussion leading up to this that Avance may not make the team. Having him be in the Top 6 scuttles that talk. No way they could leave him off now. However, whoever finished 7th in the voting? That guy could conceivably get left off with as close and as deep as this year's team is, especially if he had a bad workout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you’re right because that sounds like the most fair way to do it outside of the coaching staff then having influence over picking their own players or players they are familiar with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) One very interesting aspect of this year's team will be how many players from the Indy Metro will ultimately make the team. In a normal year, you could expect that number to be a half dozen or more. This season? That number could quite a bit smaller. Quite a few D1 players with accomplished careers in other parts of the state this year. Edited April 16, 2021 by 5fouls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I voted on our ballot. Basically you pick 12 guys. Rank em 1-12 in order of importance to you. 1 being Mr Basketball. I won’t lie, Luke Brown got my vote. So it will depend who got the most amount of lower number votes. I’m guessing players 9-12 and 13-18 will be within 40-50 votes of each other, meaning 13-18 were that close to making it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
