If Goodwin or Wilkes came here I could see one of DJW or AJ leaving, but now we don't really have a huge logjam at SF. Sure, they may leave if they want to start and don't win a job here but there are plenty of minutes for those guys.

If Leron has a bad year (which I don't suspect) he may want to leave for a change of scenery, but he'll have a ton of minutes here if he plays well.

Quite frankly, I don't see anyone as an obvious transfer right now, we don't have a full roster next year and that alleviates a lot of PT gripes.

Top 5? In the country? No, see previous discussion, we're already outside the top 5 and won't move up unless we add more players. Even then, top 5 is out of reach.


Final rsci not for awhile. Frazier and Williams hugely under rated ( and I never said that about Tisdale or Myke Henry or Shaw or Cook or anyone else except one other guy. I did say that about Finke the elder. )

Plus we have room to add and some other schools don't

And you know Big Tilmon saw what Fletcher was all about and wanted some of that. I know he can't get personal workouts ( or not many of them ) but he can get a personal workout plan and calls and texts to keep him motivated.

Love the class and love the upside of the class.

Agree, but still no chance at top 5. :D

I know he is already going to Illinois open gyms, but is there any chance he is getting some workout advice from Fletch?

He can't, but he can get workout advice from his brother Mike who has a memory like a jilted girlfriend (or ex wife). :thumb:

Since we were not one of the losing teams, I'll agree.
Sure, it's a little bit hokey, but it's a striking method of committing. Pre-recorded video skits or shorts would get my thumbs-up if it were to become a trend. There's a lot of room for creativity.

Queue the 'get-off-my-lawn' curmudgeon: "In my day a kid had the decency to look a coach in the eye, shake his hand, and commit! None of this namby pamby about instragrams or youtubes!!!"

IU fans really thought they were going to land Preston. They can't be too upset considering how IU currently looks but next year could be pretty rough for them.
