Dawg Bawls Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 I graduated from high school in 1994...I was watching the 93 Mich/IU game this morning and notice something. Our guys are "young". These guys in 93 were my age back then so its not cause I was a little boy looking up so I dont believe its that...I then google IU now....its like 18-22 is like 14-18 a generation ago....the 18-22 yrs of old are like the 22-26 yr olds now....I went into the military and when I got out the incoming were so much younger, scrawnier then I was at that age and I'm not a big dude..we would ask them to do things that they physically should be able to do but couldn't..I coached high school track for a yr and the girls were stronger then the boys...i made them puke and girls wanted more....is this just the age paradox or are they "younger" then the past..

Proud2BAHoosier Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 I don't know, but I graduated HS in '69. Take a look at some pictures back then! We already looked like old men, LOL.... 👴 Not to sidetrack this thread, but did anyone watch the Hornets vs. Pacers last night? Cody Zeller for the Hornets "looked" old with his thinning hair!!

He is an "old" 28 if my math is any good. If my math was any good I was an old 38 when he was born. Darn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fundamentals Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Very impressed with Aarman Franklin. His development and quiet leadership from year 1 to 2 is admirable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inequality Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 @FundamentalsThe inner drive to self motivate is a special quality. So far we have heard of both Franklin and Leal putting in overtime to be their best. Gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a better athlete doesn't make them a better basketball player. Gonzaga or Baylor would be lucky to finish in the top 15 in 93. the product on the floor in the college game is not even close to what it was back then.

Particularly this year. No one looks impressive to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
