Jenksismyhero Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 04:01 PM) Zeller ended up being #10 in RSCI. I thought Leonard dropped big time after his senior year? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else. Either way, I won't be surprised if Zeller is only here for 2 years. I though he got up to the 30's somewhere. Regardless, at that point unless you're the absolute cream of the crop the 5-50 players are essentially the same. They have the chance to be special, but it's not a guarantee. And as I like to keep reminding my Indiana friends, keep your expectations in check. His brother was supposed to be this all time great college player too, and it took him what, 3 years and he's still not some consensus All-NBA lock? Translating your game from high school to college is incredibly difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most expections are that he'll give us around 10 and 5 or 11 and 6. That alone with create so many opportunities for Watford and Hulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana High school ball is one of the most talent rich states, you should know, Thad's been stealing the talent for 10 years haha... The coaching in high school is definitely tops in the country.

Jenksismyhero Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) Apparently Illinois destroyed West Virginia in a 20 minute scrimmage today. 45-9 before the scrubs got in to finish at 45-19. They dominated the boards and were diving all over the floor. Only summer ball, but a good sign if they're starting to take the season seriously already.

I can't wait to see this team after losing that senior class that didn't want to lead but at the same time didn't want anyone else leading. These yougner guys seem hungry and want to prove something, I'm loving it thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect Illinois to have a very good season. Edited August 18, 2011 by whitesoxfan101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sircaffey Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 QUOTE (farmteam @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 02:44 PM) Oh yeah, the 6th banner thing was obviously in jest. Crean will most definitely get 2-3 more years, because of Zeller this year, and banner recruiting class coming the year after. Crean's locked in for at least 4 more years, assuming he inks the verbal commits from Lyles and Blackmon Jr. in the 2014 class. He's owning the Indiana state talent and that's what the alumni want. The wins will follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO before I watched the video I immediately thought that G'Town would be at fault. But wow, those Chinese kids are dirty and fight dirty. They were clearly the aggressors for the most part and were hitting players with chairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
