Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,

Watched a little of the UT vs. KSU game last night. They compared Durant's and Beasley's season stats. Beasley is averaging basically one more point and rebound and now has 4 more double doubles. They said Durant was 6'8 and Beasley was 6'10. Maybe because he is so skinny looking but I thought Durant was 6'10 and I can't believe Beasley is that tall. Anyways, thanks NBA for making these players go to college.

They need to implement a 2 year rule and age limit.
I hate to say this, but Gordon would be smart to stay another year to refine his skills. He shows a lot of young mistakes during games...... B)

I agree. At this point in his career he is definitely a shooting guard. If he is going to play any point at the next level he would benefit by staying another year. I would love to see him stay but why should he. He can get better in the NBA when he's constantly playing basketball and not going to some pointless health science class. We all know he's gone.

If your going to go that route, just make it a 4 year rule and be done with it. At least the NBA would have players who were mature enough to handle their business at that point. I wouldn't move it to a 2 year rule, I think that's just wishful thinking on your part because of Gordon. I really think it should be no time or 4 years, one or the other. I really think the one and dones throw a wrench into college basketball.

Get rid of the college rule, let these kids go direct to the NBA like lebron

And Beasley is a workhorse, more unselfish than durrant as he actually gets some assists and he is ready for the NBA...

Even four years isn't enough time for a lot of these players to mature!

What are you smoking? We're in the race this year, while you still have your one and done. Now if you wanted to argue that Ohio State would still have their players, that's a valid argument, but it would be hard to see what would have happened. Oden would probably have been out this year anyway with surgery.

Its like shootin' fish in a bucket for UB sometimes. He loves setting his little traps to start a flame war that he can spew non-sense into. He can't have a real conversation because he is filled with hate and can't control it.
“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves."

"I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

If they leave it like it is, then have the NCAA adopt a clause in the LOI to if they spend less than 3 years at the university and leave to go into the professional level, they pay the university back for the amount of years remaining on his scholarship. A player can leave after one year, but must pay back 3 years of scholarship money. If he leaves after 3 years, the player doesn't owe anything to the university. I think that could be a win/win situation. Any comments, suggestions?

Sure and that scholarship money has to go to a different sport than the one they played in. ie Kevin Durant would give Texas 3 years of scholarship money and it would go to the womens volleyball team or something like that. This would ensure the university benefits as a whole, not just sports where people go pro early.

Interesting... You're already conceding the BTC to Wisky and Purdue THIS year, but NEXT year we would have no chance. Do you ever think before talking out of your ass? Get in your time machine and talk about ancient banners, or how great IU will be NEXT year.

Good point. It will grow other sporting events within the university.

If the players can put a statement like they want out of their LOI if the coach leaves or the school is banned from postseason play, then surely the university can do the same thing if the players leave early. Could this be possible?
