In the grand scheme of things rankings do not carry any meaning but in the mean time Yogi is SO underrated. It’s ridiculous.

Yikes, that crossover is deadly.  There is no way to defend it and if you lay back, he will drop one in your eye…… I like it.

It’s funny isn’t it? Put the top 25 kids on the floor and let them go at it. Yogi will hold his own against all of them. I love Cody, but this kind of talent does not come around very often. We will not suck.

SICK!!!  How high is he getting off his jump shot!?  He is exactly what we need for a point guard.  What I like most about it is when the 2012 class comes in the 2009 class will be seniors and will be leading these guys.  I think the 2009 class will work them hard before graduating.  I know the 2012 class won’t have to go through the hard knocks the 2009 class has had to but they will be able to pass on the work ethic it takes to succeed.  I like our options for 2012-2013.

try living down the street from Corrupt Arena. 
These “low rankings” will put chips on these guy’s shoulders. 

Keep in mind though, not too many years back the same used to be said about our recruits. I’d say before too long players will be back to getting the ‘committed to IU’ bump again!

I don’t know where to put this but in a report just released in the Memphis Business Journal  IU was ranked #8 in basketball revenue.  Duke was #1 and Kentucky was 7. Interesting was how much each school spent per player.  IU spent $91,374 about average for a top 10 revenue school. Kentucky however spent  $198,000 per student about  $50k more than the 2nd highest spender (Duke).   Wonder if Kentucky has a salary cap lol      I don’t know if i can link on here.

I can’t say I was around in his IU days, but I’ve seen plenty of games on tape from Isiah Thomas’ time as part of the Big Red machine and the similarities between him and Yogi are striking. His high school teams feed from his confidence and of course his skills, he can score and take over, but he knows when to give it up and feed a hot hand. Now, if he can bring some of the defensive mentality from Zeke’s Bad Boys days that would really be something else, and of course, lead us to the promised land like Zeke!

Guys, I hate UK as much as anyone. Given that we all hate that school, why must we make mention of it and its coach on every single story? I’d rather ignore the topic altogether than talk about it incessantly, wouldn’t you?

It’s just what we do as Hoosier fans – hate on Kentucky. Something in our DNA. I know, it looks like an inferiority complex, but it goes back so far. Hard habit to break.

It doesn’t bother me that many IU fans feel the way you do, but for me personally, I could care less about Kentucky, Purdue or any other team for that matter.

Focusing on other teams reminds me of Ford vs Chevy, PC vs Mac…

IU is a great school, has incredible basketball tradition regardless of any other school’s accomplishments or lack thereof. We don’t need someone else to suck in order for us to be good… that’s kind of like the Jerry Springer show.

Having said that, carry on… and have fun with it, to each his own.

First off, while you may hate pUKe, you obviously don’t hate pUKe at the same level that some of us do and it is probably cause you have not had to put up with “them” as much or in the ways that some of us have had to. Too many stories and stories too long to go into. Having had my fair share of run ins with their so called fans I can only imagine what it is like for IHATEUK living down the street from Rape Arena especially if he lets it be know that he is an IU fan. If someone drones on and on about them or posts numerous comments about them on the same story line then I can agree with you. I usually agree with most of your posts but on this one I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. If just a small percentage of the people that come to this fine site post about something that they feel passionate about it can result in several comments. And no it does not make this IU fan feel like I have a inferiority complex in the least bit to say how I feel about “them”
