tdhoosier Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Are any former Hoosiers playing in this thing? watching now and forgot about how good Aaron Craft is. The guy you love to hate, complain that he gets all the calls, but wish he was on your team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I see one of the alumni teams for a school like Ohio St or Syracuse, I wish we could see someone put together an IU alumni team.

Watford, JBJ, Troy, Hulls, Sheehey wouldn't make for a half bad lineup. Tad on the small side, but could be effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in Rojo and McSwain and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he may be one of those types of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When somebody was driving the lane he just stayed in front of him, kept his hands up and feet moving (back pedaling towards the basket). No contact, but caused the driver to travel because he was looking to get bailed out with a foul. I love that kind of defense: discipline, fast feet and effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parakeet Jones Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 I heard an interview once with Craft where he said his plan was to hack and bump the guy he was guarding constantly because he knew the ref wouldn’t call everything if he played that way all the time. Irritating to play against, but what I wouldn’t give to have a guy like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plays with a little bit of a cocky edge, and you love him if he's on your side and can't stand him if you're playing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there a poster that said Freddie couldn't start for a YMCA team? Thanks for the link and I'm pretty surprised to see his full offensive arsenal. He's got jumpers and face-up games. I'm sure he's worked on these a lot after graduation, but he must've had these skills to certain extent while he was in college as well. Wasn't he confident enough or was it his lack of urgency in college or was it due to the coaching staff failed to recognize? Nonetheless, it's great to see he's doing well.

I still remember how Freddie made MSU's lottery pick center disappear in a game when he had like a career night for rebounds. The raw talent was there, just hope he continues to develop and do IU proud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
