Soxbadger Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I personally think over-signing should be illegal in the Big 10. And Im not sure my stance is jealousy, Indiana hasnt beat lowly Wisconsin since Jan. 31, 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Im not sure my stance is jealousy, Indiana hasnt beat lowly Wisconsin since Jan. 31, 2007. Don't even get me started on that Brian Butch bank shot. I couldn't even complain at the time though, since I think it was less than a month after Gordon banked a huge shot in against Illinois.

Soxbadger Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I need to talk about the streak now, because this year at Indiana likely is the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope so. We shouldn't lose a single game at home this year, and we can't. I say that in the same way Michigan, Ohio St, and MSU fans say about their teams.

Rex Hudler Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Nov 11, 2012 -> 09:23 AM) Well of course it's going to work out. One way or another, guys will be gone and they'll have the right amount of scholarships out there. But "it works out" doesn't justify it or explain it. I'm kind of in between on this. Kids transfer from programs all the time, so just because one does at IU, doesn't mean the kid was pushed out. I don't think it is fair to automatically assume there are shady things going on when we're still a year away from these kids putting on an IU uniform. With IU's depth this year, someone is bound to get frustrated and leave. Not all kids qualify. That said, there certainly is the potential for a mess. I'm not completely comfortable with it. Right now IU is three scholly's over the 13 limit for next year. Keep in mind, none of these verbal commitments have signed or qualified academically, so nothing is official. But what happens if Zeller wants to stay a 3rd year. No one thinks its possible, but he doesn't seem like the kind of kid (and the family doesn't seem the type) that is in a hurry to get to the NBA. There are a ton of possibilities and combinations, but if things don't fall, it could be messy and turn into the kind of situation you are already assuming.

There's so much talent, someone is bound to be upset with playing time. The last 3-4 guys off our bench would be starters on A LOT of D1 teams. I think at this point you have to give Crean the benefit of the doubt, as he's been coaching for years and it hasn't backfired yet. He knows a hell of a lot more whats going on inside his program than anyone else does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope Groce can still land KBD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Zoom spent 30 days locked in a closet writing a basketball preview. The least you could do is read it and tell him why hes wrong. http://flapship.com/2012-2013-college-basketball-preview/ (edit) and the least I could do is spell least right.

I really hope Groce can still land KBD. This one was definitely a shock for me, I thought for sure he was going to pick Nova. Hopefully KBD commits in the next few weeks and we can go after a top PG.

clyons Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Rivals has Groce's first Illini class at #10 nationally; Scout a more sober #22. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/break...0,5575326.story That news helps make the abomination that is Illini football a bit easier to endure. If Groce is half as capable as I fear Beckman is incompetent, there may be hope in Champaign yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
