coachv Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 it has become a pitiful sight, watching deron davis' season disintegrate before our eyes. he is as healthy as he has been in a long time, and is eager to contribute, i'm sure. his minutes have dwindled to near nothing, mired behind a solid brunk, and a spectacular jackson-davis. watching deron get yanked after a mere minute of play against the irish was sad. the pleading look on his face, palms stretched out, as he approached miller on his way to the bench has been witnessed before this season. he understands he will not see the floor again. and yet, in his one minute he commits two fouls, passes on a wide open ten footer in the lane and promptly turns the ball over with a horrible pass. deron has been one of my favorites during his time here, and i pull for him to somehow turn around all the disappointment and leave indiana with some deserved glory. clearly he is on a short leash and it is impossible not to see his anguish as he is quickly pulled game after game.

I heartily agree with you coach. It's a shame that between injuries, rehab and conditioning that De'Ron was always seemingly playing catch up. His injuries were, of course, the biggest issue because he simply couldn't recover enough to play the game as he surely played it coming out of hs.

Indykev Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 I thought seeing him and after talking with him, that he would have his best season. The problem i see is that he can't stay in shape. Body looked great this summer now in seaon looks like the same over weight out of shape Deron. Sad.

IUFLA Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Lots of bangers in our league...I just keep getting the feeling that De'Ron is going to have a couple of shining moments during B10 play... And I'll be very happy for him when he does... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zlinedavid Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 From the title of the thread, I thought "Oh no....De'Ron gave up basketball and has resorted to making bad vampire romance movies" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUDan93 Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 His game against Duke showed that he had a lot to offer. Like Mo Creek, one game showing great potential with a career mired in injury. I hope he can have enough moments this year that allows him to end his career with some degree of satisfaction.

milehiiu Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 "We have different guys, making plays"...... Archie Miller. (Dec. 2019) IMHO. De'Ron's time will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the Duke game and he out played both lottery picks. It sucks that he seems to have never been healthy at IU. There is a lot of wear and tear that goes into these young men's bodies (that most of us will never understand). We were never elite in our sports. I will always be proud of the young man you mentioned to us so many years ago for choosing IU. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and yours!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope he can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, it happens to players occasionally. Injuries effectively kill their playing days. In DD's case, it's compounded by the coaching change. He may just not be the optimal type of player for CAM's system. Like others, I suspect he'll have some opportunities through the B10 season and contribute as he has in the past.

They're a physical group... Want to know Davis's role? He's the one player we have that can make a guy like Cockburn back down. Mere physical presence doesn't play as much of a role as it used to, but there are still spots it comes in handy. I know I sure as hell don't want a pissed off De'Ron Davis running my direction, out of shape, injured or otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
