Thanks but how tall is he for real? 6-5, 6-6, shorter? Weight 190 or 220? Not a 4 for sure but looks like solid player.

I think Jones is good, but Dumes coming from this area and having some college time under his belt and at that time being a senior will help…..just a feel……

Roger Franklin……Big Time 09 frosh we are trying to get….

Verdell Jones is better than you give him credit for and I think you over rate Dumes. Next season will tell…

Who is Roger Franklin and why is he in your starting 5?

Those comments were the equivalent of when you are getting ready to break up with someone you have been dating and you say, “you are sooooo awesome, you are a terrific person and you are going to meet someone and be very happy…trust me, it's not you, it's me…I'm just not good enough for you”…he's gone. We rarely recognize the critical “crossroads” decision points in our lives until long after we've passed them. Methinks he has made one of those decisions, and that he has missed out on a rare opportunity at Indiana that he won't get with his other choices, but hey, I'm a little biased. C'est la vie.

Good question………I am sure they have “ways” of working things out. I wonder how him and Angel Garcia would mesh together…..same position, same year

Does Memphis have room for Negedu with the Sallie commit and the return of Dozier?

I saw that Van Treese visit……….I am done with my love affair of Negedu..if he comes to IU great if not keep it movin'……..we have been through this before with other kids and I just want a good team, kids I can watch for at least 2 years and a solid respectible program. I would take a hit on some NIT ball next year to be competitive for the next 4 years plus.

Don't get carried away…

By the way, Van Treese visited B'Town today.

I could go along with that, add about 2-3 blocks and he'll be all suited up.

I am going to go out on a limb and say …..next season Taber will get 6 rebounds a game……….book it!

*For the record, Kyle Taber is a fine lad who I enjoy watching play basketball.*

Ditto that, and he's the only one with any college experience. Maybe we should start a Taber fan club. lol
