I'd read "The Jackie Jensen Story" when I was a kid...Along with every other sports biography I could get a hold of... "Ball Four" by Jim Bouton and "Seeing it Through" by Tony Conigliaro were my favorites 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even think one that says "Hoosiers" in script would be cool too. I saw this in the replies to Ant Wright's tweet. The design is so damn beautiful, I'm just as stunned as B1G Hoosier that these aren't already a thing. Make this the main uniform for all I care. It's absolute fire.

Hopefully, Ware is hard at work on the strength and conditioning program. He's currently giving up a minimum 30 pounds to just about everyone on the list. He hasn't seen the size and physicality of B1G interior play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much so...Here are 2 full games of his from last year...First against eventual champion UConn... Probably the best game Kel'el played as a Duck, and he shows his enormous potential... His line from that game... Later in the year, his game vs UCLA @ Oregon... He does get bodied a lot by Bona (235 lbs) and Nwuba (255 lbs)... Line from that game I seriously think he's the major key in IU being a good team, or one that contends for a Big 10 title, and competes well in the tournament... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotIThatLives Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 12 hours ago, BGleas said: Geez, I'm glad we are stocked with depth at the 4/5. As of today we might not have 2 guys at the top of everyone's list but Ware's ceiling is as high as anyones. And honestly Malik was getting buckets on these dudes last year as a frosh. I'm pretty confident he's ready to step up. Then we throw in a motivated and physically ready Sparks that's already 255 and a very seasoned Walker to provide depth. Definitely not worried about our production at the 4/5. The question will certainly be defense though. Malik was a foul machine and got blown by way too much. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially liked the one that getting drafted doesn't mean anything. I can see why they'd think that. Since 2006, Illinois has had one first round pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
