IowaHoosierFan Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 He was a fantastic player who never lived up to our expectations of what he should have done. Whether its true or not, i always felt like Knight changed how Bailey played and didn't let him do what he did best and that was be the man, score at will. I think he tried to put him in a box and it never worked out well. Plus the knee injuries killed him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i think Knight was the one who pushed that. Had he scored 20+ a game all 4 years, we might have hung another banner. As you said, look at all the talent and we didn't get one. Just my thoughts when i try and remember him plying back in the day. No research, strictly gut feel from my memories. I could and probably am wrong.

Billingsley99 Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 For those that don't feel Damon lived up to the expectations I disagree in a big fashion. He went from being a post player to the PG of the number #1 team in the country. One of the winningest 4 year player in IU history and an Alan Henderson injury from a national championship. MJ would not have lived up to tge hype maybe but Damon delivered very well IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
