I read about this kid also, just adds more interesting pieces to the puzzle….

Is it KYrie Irving and Who? (Morgan, Oladipo, etc.)
Then I read Jerimiah Davis is close to deciding…. I know IU was pursuing him but how hard?

cool bit on the Demling blog about Victor Oladipo & his admiration for Crean and IU…he (Oladipo) sounds like the kind of player that'll blossom under Crean. I only wish he was 6-9 instead of 6-5!

I think while Creek and Watford may be the most talented…I think Elston or Capo may have the largest impact on our team. We need someone to push Pritchard and to give him a frontcourt teammate and I think these guys will deliver. I think Jones, Dumes, Rivers, Creek, Watford and Hulls make an excellent guard/wing rotation.

I just looked at the Hoosier Nation/Scout.com website and they list Zach Price – Lakewood, OH – under the 2011 prospects as having medium interest and an offer from Indiana…..

That is interesting, not sure if IU would be in the picture but a backcourt of rivers and rivers would be cool

I just saw on Demling blog that Austin Rivers. Might decommit. Looking at Duke, but dad wants him to look at other options. Here's the link:http://www.courier-journal.com/blogs/demling/blog.html.
Also, can anyone tell me why we stopped recruiting Brad Beal?

With so many posts, I wasn't going to join the forum because I didn't feel I could add anything that had not already been said, so I went back and tallied all the votes for the player with the biggest impact for next season. It was a difficult question to answer since it was so open ended, and a lot of people made mention of several players and never really put themselves out there, so I just took those who really went with a strong vote. Personally, I'll take Watford. We have no other players like him, I don't see how we can keep him off the court. And, he is basically competing against himself for floor time. The other guys have to compete against Rivers, Jones, Roth, and Pritchard for PT. Current tally:

Watford 9; Elston 3; Creek 1; Capo 1

Michigan State will prolly b all over him sense they got Delvon Roe from St. Edwards. It looks like they offered him. He reminds me of Raymar Morgan. An athletic 6'8 forward. How many days untill Midnight Madness? I am in basketball withdrawal.

Why haven't we heard of this kid before? I have never heard Zach Prices name come up. He looks to be very good. All the reports say he is a big strong athlete. It doesn't seem that IU is going after him. This is an interesting topic.

Bobby Capobianco. I don't believe he will lead any statistical race but look to his agressive attitude to provide the kind of on-court leadership that unites a team in knowing someone has their backs

On another track The Sporting News has gathered 157 sports "experts" and voted the top 50 coaches of all time. John Wooden is #1, Bob is 16th while Dean Smith (cough) finished 8th. read the article, see the list. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=436...
