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

They'll be fine. Lot of talent coming in. I like Smotrycz, but Morgan is coming back and they have talented big men coming in. If Burke were to go into the draft, it would be a bigger deal. IMO, Burke should stick around for another year and work on his perimeter shot.

Yeah I agree, but it's not like there's been a similar player to him that left Michigan early after having a good season only to find out what the end of an NBA bench feels like. Oh wait..

That would be an awful decision by Burke.

Surprised Smotrycz left, seemed like a really good fit. They've got really good talent coming in, but they'll be very young also. Little Big Dog could be big time IMO.
“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

Yeah, I'm not sure why Smotrycz would leave. He and Morgan are both going to be juniors and maybe indications were that with the other players coming in that Morgan would be getting the minutes that they were splitting before. But Smotrycz IMO could have filled the role that Novak played....but it could be that Belein sees that his teams biggest flaw this year was relying on the three and might want to go bigger.

Anyway, what is in the water at Michigan where players leave early to bad draft status? Manny Harris, Morris, Burke?
