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,
sirbrianwilson

No Branden Dawson. Lots of in-state 2013 talent playing well.

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.

he's an up and coming player from Cincinnati whom most consider to be an IU lean, but he has yet to be offered a scholarship nevermind, he has been offered a scholarship. that could change very soon.

He's been blowing up the AAU circuit so far this year. From the vids I've seen, he's REALLY long and kind of reminds me of a much, much more athletic version of Verdell (in terms of length). He's not the 2011 PG we've been looking for, but he may be too good of an offensive talent to discriminate.

We've been on him for a while. Visited IU back in September for a football game. There's a new interview with him up on Inside the Hall. According to him, he has an offer and is "very high on IU."

Rivals' (not Peegs) take on his King James Classic performances a few weeks ago

Queen City Standout

The talent has never been an issue with Aaron Thomas, and now the 6-foot-5 wing is beginning to put it all together. In a night game for the Queen City Prophets, Thomas was nothing short of spectacular in taking his game to a new level.

During the high school season Thomas looked to be more of a small forward because of his average ability to handle the basketball, but since that time he has put in work in the gym and now it is showing itself on the court.

Quite simply Thomas couldn't come close to being stopped on Saturday night. He was hitting from three, he got to the rim, finished well above the rim with a variety of dunks, and also was hitting from the mid-range with great touch.

What was most impressive is how tight his handle looks. Thomas now legitimately has made the transition to being a shooting guard, and it showed. He was able to break his man down off the dribble going either direction, and also now has a dynamic crossover dribble, especially from left to right.

On his way to probably well over 40 points, Thomas proved that he is a high-major basketball player in a big, big way.

King James: Saturday

Sounds like he could be a pretty good player.

Word is that Thomas is considering reclassifying for 2012....may go the prep route for a year.

If IU signs him for the 2012 class, does that still leave room for the 3 names I've seen floating around that are allegedly a package deal?

Yes! According to the scholarship grid, we would have 4 scholarships available. Also, I believe we also have the oversign, which could run us to 5. I bet Crean uses the oversign for 2011. Even though I wanted a much higher JUCO, getting a JUCO to fill that spot allowed for the opportunity to have 4 available for that class.

Anyone care to make a prediction on that class?

Well we'll need a new horrible foreign JuCo to continue the tradition, plus an average 3-star recruit, a four-star recruit, and we'll not use the remaining.

DSR, Kaminski, and a juco and you may be on the money, although DSR will probably debut as a top 25 guy with a good chance to stay there.

If DSR goes to Xavier, I honestly think it'd be the end of the Crean era at IU. With that said, it still seems like he's an IU guy at this point.
