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

I guess yesterday was the first day for individual workouts and where the coaches can actually work with the players. As usual, Coach Crean sounds excited but what I took from it is that he can tell people worked hard over the summer.

Here is his comments from ITH:

"Individual workouts begin: The start of the fall academic semester on Monday also signaled the start of individual workouts with the IU coaches and players in Assembly Hall. Tom Crean shared the following observations from day one (and also some photos) via his Twitter account:"

"Some things I liked yesterday after our 1st workouts: Verdell ‘s strength and finishing, Cody’s potential for range on his shot, Austin’s jumper, Will’s pullup and increased range, Victor’s release on his shot and Christian’s patience at reading defenders. Jordan was our best % shooter in our tests yesterday and that is no surprise. Maurice goes for the 1st time today. That will be great to see. I loved the way Derek moved and shot the ball yesterday. Having him healthy could make a big difference. He has to develop consistency."



Here are some pics:

That was exactly what I was thinking. The season can't come soon enough. This board needs to get more lively and that usually does it.

Amen to that. Of course, this says a lot about my age (and I can tell that I love IU basketball a lot more ever since I started following recruiting a couple of years ago) but I'm looking forward to this season as much if not more than any other.

Could it be because of one CZ? ;)

That probably has a lot to do with it as well. I'm not from the city; it's not every day you get a star athlete close to where you live going to play ball for your favorite team.

I can understand that. I lived pretty close to Anderson and New Castle and I was fortunate to see some of those ex IU players play in High School. (Ray Tolbert, Steve Alford, Winston Morgan and Stew Robinson to name a few.)

Not a bad list there. Calbert was pretty close to me in Evansville but I was only 8 when he graduated
