Comments on: Austin Etherington erupts for 35 in Saturday win http://www.insidethehall.com/2009/12/14/austin-etherington-erupts-for-35-in-saturday-win/ Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:48:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: JohnS http://www.insidethehall.com/2009/12/14/austin-etherington-erupts-for-35-in-saturday-win/comment-page-1/#comment-44523 JohnS Fri, 18 Dec 2009 10:11:18 +0000 http://www.insidethehall.com/?p=4704#comment-44523 Are you kidding? Jeff Watkins is one of the top strength /conditioning coaches (why do you think Crean kept him from the last staff). All our players came back better than last year, some of the new guys picked up size in just the first summer (look up what Watford has to say about Jeff). Verdell has always had a problem putting on weight in high school - look at his improvement since last year. Roth looked like a high school player last year, he looks like a college player this year. Tijan wasn't anywhere near as cut as he is today. We have the talent, sooner or later things will click with this group and we'll start winning with more consistency. Are you kidding?

I've asked who the strength coach is in the game chats because I've thought the same thing. I can't believe someone didn't set out a program for TP to follow. He should have been working on explosive moves and putting on muscle. He looks the same as last year but even slower. If players aren't following his program then they should be running Memorial Stadium until they throw up.<br><br>The only guy noticeably stronger is VJ3. I think Roth looked bigger but mostly fat, not cut. Maybe Jobe can be hired after the season. Completely agree.

If you can rebound and guard you'd play. If we can't recruit someone we have to bring in a JUCO. I've never seen Zeller play or Plumlee as I don't live in state but Zeller doesn't look real strong so I'm not sure how great a rebounder he will be.<br><br>Without someone coming in I don't see IU progressing as far as they should next year.

Typing in his name no issues came up with him. Wonder why they wouldn't want him. Sounds like he would play right away. From his read up he seems a perfect fit.

If they could sign a 6'9 rebounder to the mix of relatively large guys, we should be pretty much set on big men. I've heard a lot of talk on message boards and blogs about how the Hoosiers need to recruit more size, but they are banking on Bawa, DE, and BC, and CW to put on some weight and strength and be the big men that they can build around before they start sprinkling in other big guys and other projects, like Bawa, that they can build. Personally, I left TP out because I don't know how much longer he will stay at IU. He looks so unhappy all the time. Comments/Opinions? It's obviously just speculation but what would you guys think?

I hope like hell Crean can break the strong hold by painter on the 'region' area cause between Dawson and Marrero IU would be in great shape to get either one. Both kids are studs.

I don't see anything happening in this regard for 2010, unless there are coaching changes and players reopen their recruitment. 2012 is too far away to help our current group, so that leaves 2011.

Plumlee is a true post player and would be a good get, but I think he's probably not leaning our way.

I like Zeller and hope we get him, but he won't come in as a frosh and help our interior game because I think he needs physical development.

That leaves my dark horse, Branden Dawson. I know he's not tall, but he's tough, makes space for himself and is a battler. The kid knows how to rebound. My impression is that he would help us tremendously in the competitive mindset area and would be a contributor from the very beginning.

Other than these three, I don't see any recruits in the next two years that address our interior play needs.

Maybe we do go for a JUCO big in 2011 who would be able to play with the current group for their most competitive and meaningful two years.

We need you! lol but Marco could of been useful on Cousins and Eli Holeman looked dang good against the Wolverines. He really added some muscle. or maybe it was just the look from his baggy red tall T. haha. To JUCO big out there!
