Welcome to IU!

You are officially a Hoosier for life. Welcome to the family Remy.

i don’t know a lot about this kid but from what has been said he is a good athlete, good defender, and can get to the rim. These are three things our teams needs more of. I dont know what spot on the depth chart he is at but adding more talent and more athletic ability are always a great thing. welcome to hoosier nation friend

This kid can play ball….. Sounds like he needs to get his outside shot worked out a bit, but his slashing ability and ball handling appear to be well polished. He has good quick feet on defense, can stay with a defender and has good length. At 6’4 he should be an impact in year 1 as our #2 ball handler.

posted a couple of links in his other thread from earlier…… youtube Eastern vs. ballard and there are 2 lengthy films of them… he wears #10.

He joins the team as the best slasher on the roster………. should really be a rivers with offense is what i am seeing in the video. Can get to the hole and finish, but also handles the ball very well and makes smart plays.

Welcome to Indiana!

If he could give us 10 min. a game of good guard play he will be a real help! He’s played against some good talent and sounds like he’s been well coached. Eastern his HS team where very good!

Give Remy an A+ for attitude, what’s not to like with what he said? He’s a well spoken young man.

In terms of his basketball skills… First team All-State, by the writers. I’m impressed with that type of recognition from any state, let alone Kentucky… HS basketball, from what I hear, is pretty big in that state.

25 blocks as a senior in HS… and he’s only 6′ 4”. Remind anyone of Buss?

In terms of him originally committing to Bradley… well, I can think of several less known D1 and D2 players that have came into Assembly Hall the last few years and made us look silly. Talent is everywhere and sometimes you find a diamond in the rough. Maybe Crean has found his for 2011.

Great interview.

On the surface it doesn’t seem like we need another guard, but I wonder if Crean is just stacking the roster in case we lose Ferrell, Hollowell and / or Harris (fingers crossed) to the NBA. If those guys leave early, Abell could add some experience, even if he doesn’t get much PT during his first couple of years.

Goff gets a release from OU…interesting. And the plot thickens…

There is NOTHING to be negative about with Remy Abell! He is a good 6’4 guard. Other schools wanted him, Butler included. He fell in love with “it’s Indiana” just like the rest of us. He seems enthused to give his all. Welcome to Indiana Remy! The rest will work itself out. We don’t have to micro-manage Coach Crean. He knows what to do-win 20 games next season! No more excuses. Indiana has good players. Do it!

Three words and at least 30 seconds to say it.

Here is Goff 7 months ago:

i think this is a solid pick-up. he comes from a pretty solid program in jefferson county. there are several of these louisville based teams that really get after each other on the hardwood. there is no doubt this guy knows how to compete.

by the way, when was the last time we signed anyone from louisville, or the state of kentucky.

Coach needed to do something drastic to break the losing mentality this team has carried the last 3 years, in order for the team to live up to it’s potential this season. The fact is, the Juniors and Seniors on this team have known nothing but losing. As a result, if nothing was done, we would of lost several games we should of won this 2011 season.

Now we have an opportunity to break that cycle. Why? Because it’s LITERALLY win or go home for some of these guys. If they make it to the court this year, it’s because they learned how to win in practice against very talented competition. If they don’t, we just aren’t going to have the scholarship numbers to keep them.

It’s tough, but I don’t see any other way to break the losing cycle before a whole new starting 5 comes in 2012.

For this reason, I say go for Robert Goff.

Yeah some people will likely get pushed out, or maybe some people (Watford, Creek) will have break out years and make it to the NBA. Sounds unlikely now, but the competition is about to get fierce, and when you have that, the cream rises to the top.

Alex Demling is reporting: He’ll sign financial aid agreement since you can’t sign two LOIs in one year. Wouldnt this make him a walk on ? And wouldn’t effect the scholarship numbers?

I believe Bradley has put a player in the NBA since Indiana has.

Jody Demling?

Ok maybe I should have spaced more . Was asking a question of Alex

He’ll still count towards the scholarship number. This is a procedural thing that has to be done since he already signed a LOI but was released from it.

Our 2 most glaring weaknesses last year IMO were an absence of post presence and good point guard play. Crean has now addressed both of these with this incoming class. If GH wants to join The Movement, there will be room.

Agreed. The culture of losing and being okay with it for some of the players HAS to go. It is time for the players to get a chip on their shoulders.

Don’t know about Goff tho. Look at the youtube link I posted below. Was 7 months ago but looks like his 3 star ranking to me. Serviceable but not elite. IU can get elite players once again.

love that video of goff. not overly impressive but just what we need, more depth on the inside. a bruiser if u will

The more I see what CTC is doing and the more I think about it, the more I wonder why BC, DE, or Roth would stay at Indiana this year when they could finish out their 1 or 2 years of eligibility somewhere else where they would get more playing time? I mean, in 2012 BC and DE won’t touch the floor, or at least they probably shouldn’t. Sorry about the transfer talk, but now someone has to go and the time is drawing near for that decision to be made!

I would actually be pretty shocked if CWat got drafted even after his senior season so I don’t think him leaving after this year is of any concern other than he’ll be here for the duration barring transfer and hopefully that is a good thing.
