ElectricBoogaloo Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 All of these preseason IU predictions aren’t surprising. We are coming off an NIT season and lost our 2 best players. We have a lot to prove and I can’t wait for games to start. I’m more surprised by all the love Illinois is getting. That program has been a disaster with transfers, late signings of unranked players, and one guy ruled ineligible. But I have to admit their core is fairly solid.

milehiiu Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 I just get the feeling that Athlon bases a lot of their predictions based on the previous season's performance. IU this season is chock full of unknowns. Partly due so many games lost last season due to injury. We even had one guy who many felt would have been one of our best players, lose the entire season, due to a condition. Even a sensation freshman, would played was hampered with a wrist injury. Knock on wood. IU won't get hit by the injury bug, like last year. And in that respect, IU could surprise. Personally, I think they will. Being ranked 9th and 10th, I hope would motivate, to prove the predictions wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addictedtoIU Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 9th and 10th. All this team's got to do is to work hard and go up. My gut feeling is that overall this team would be better than the last year's. I think having a clear cut, vocal leader would pay dividends.

Regarding Illinois, saw that Underwood offered 54 players for 2020. So far, no commits. 30 have either committed elsewhere or dropped Illinois from their lists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity, how many has Archie offered for 2020? Seems like a bunch although surely not even half of Illinois' number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Ames, but don't follow ISU football recruiting. That seems odd since Matt Campbell seems like a hot commodity right now. Also, it is funny that you mention ISU, because many of them make fun of IU football and how bad they are. I have no retaliation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zlinedavid Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 This is a good thing for where we are right now. The foundation is still being forged. A bunch of preseason hype would be more of a distraction vs a positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 I think one great thing about Coach Miller's ability to get three talented 2020 recruits committed at a relatively early date, is that he can now hone in on guys he feels he needs to complete this class. More recruits committed now. Means more time he can allocate and concentrate on other priority targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People tend to forget we were 12-2 and looking pretty damn good before the wheels fell off, which coincided with multiple injuries / missed games by key players, and the loosely reported locker room issues. And Rob is now an experienced point guard. I think we're going to be pretty good -- health depending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Quite frankly, every spot 12 and above is possible, even 1st. It just depends on how the team gels and how the other teams perform as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows how we will do this year, but that 12-2 start last year heavily involved 2 guys who moved on to pro careers. We don't know what we are going to get this year. Everything could fall into place and we do really well, or past could be prologue and things don't go so well. I frankly could see either happening.
