    I really hope the guys on the gold team kicks ass in this one with the IU guys leading the way....
  • Moose
    Maybe Creek, Hulls and Watford can convince Orton that they play so well together that he should come to IU instead of UK..........
  • jerryct
    Please tell us the brutal truth about how our kids do this weekend. No puffing or spinning.

    I really want to set my expectations at a realistic level. Usually we over hype our recruits and disparage the other guy's players. Is TC is looking at the undecided 6'11" kid
  • Kelin Blab
    Jerry are you saying Cem Dinc was over hyped :)
  • Matt
    Why did they pick the ugliest team colors in the world? Gold and Black, really?

    Anyways, from a roster standpoint, I think the gold team rolls...

    Is Crean looking? he must be good enough to make this field!!!
  • MikeyD
    Exactamente! I agree if he is in this field, then...? I posed the question to Evan D of scouts.com, is there a player out there that could raise our 09 ranking even higher than the 5-7 range where it stands now. Very interesting!!!
  • Ryan
    I'm interested on seeing how Jordan Hulls fares compared to our other recruits. I'm equally excited about all of them, but I think Hulls is very underrated, according to rivals and others. I've seen the highlight reels of him and I'm betting he wins the three point shootout. Furthermore, his high school won state and he was their star player. I don't know if he's won Indiana Mr Basketball YET, but if he hasn't, I'm sure he will. GO HOOSIERS!!!
