The Bryant kid and IU...
- Thread starter bigbluedon

IMO with the sad situation that you have had in Bloomington for the past several years you have little to laugh about. Probation and it seems a very quirky coach at present.
Enough talent to compete for another Final Four = desperate? I think Indiana would gladly take that type of desperation next season.
Maybe IU will be "netter" than UK next year, whatever the hell that means, but IU certainly won't be better. 1987 Hoosier boy. Notre Dame and Butler are much better programs than IU now. How embarrassing and pathetic is that?
The are a lot of IU threads on this board. Tends to attract IU fans.
So, let's talk Thomas Bryant:
A really good fit for IU for the upcoming year. A physical, dirty work minded big who probably won't look to create his own offense, but can protect the rim and apparently can step out and hit a three now and then.
Will fit well with IU's desperate need for a rim protector and physical player. Also supposed to be a great kid for team chemistry.
Would have been a nice addition for UK in that he's a bit bulkier than Lee or Skal, but if Lee adds ten lbs in the offseason that will take care of itself.

I'm assuming that "netter" means better at cutting down nets after a loss?
I counted a total of one(1) thread on the first page but keep bs'n, that's cool.
I just assumed you IU fans were attracted to a program that is nationally relevant. Lord knows that it hasn't been found in Bloomington since the grunge era.
Any other committed players you want UK to pilfer? Is that what we have become? Some of you guys...
I see one thread (this one - which is a worthless one by the OP). Not sure what you are seeing.
iu threads are falling from the sky. the board is having an iu meltdown. it's a mad house. we netter get our act together.
Imagine what any other coach could do with the talent Calipari has had...even the quirky ones. Better hope Skal is eligible and a future NBA MVP, otherwise you are likely NIT bound.
We're you the Indiana fan that cried behind me in Atlanta, when UK ended your season 2012? I thought that was cute. Poor lowly hoosiers.
Maybe this lowly Hoosier fan sticks his hands down his pants when looking at Purdue players also?
Here's a stat that will make you laugh out loud: In the lifetime of the average IU senior, 21 NCAA tournaments, the Hoosiers have won 14 NCAA tournament games. In the past SIX tournaments, Kentucky has won 22 games.
IU to Elite Eight or beyond: 1 for 22 years
UK Elite Eight or beyond: 5 for 6 years
In the time that Indiana has made it past the Sweet 16 once, dating back to the 1994 season, Kentucky has: 12 trips to the Elite Eight or beyond, Seven Final Fours, Five championship game appearances and Three National Championships.
Give it a rest pards. This stuff is done a lot. If he hasn't signed a letter ,then he is fair game. Cal put all of his eggs in several baskets and it didn't work and now he is scrambling for bodies. Bryant would be a good one.. If you can't see that,you know less than nothing,especially since we are so thin on the front line.Any other committed players you want UK to pilfer?

Owned. And I said before, IU fans should be humiliated that Butler and Notre Dame have surpassed their has been program in the state of Indiana.
This isn't football. Kids are rarely recruited after verballing at big time programs especially this late.
Cal has always said he NEVER recruits kids who have committed elsewhere without first decommitting.
Know your coach and stop acting like we are bush league.
Now now. Had a ton of UK folks around me this last month crying about basketball. History seems to repeat itself. Glad to be moving into May...
Oh, yes, the old tried and true "anyone can win with that kind of talent" argument. Signed: Josh Pastner, Rick Barnes, Ben Howland-post 2008, and your own beloved coach who couldn't make it past the Sweet 16 with two of the top 4 picks in the NBA draft. When your team hasn't even sniffed an Elite Eight in 13 years, you really have no room to throw stones at a program that's won a National Championship and been to The Final Four 4 of the last 5 seasons. The next time you're about to talk trash about a team that's actually been relevant in the last decade, stop and think to yourself that the last time IU actually won a National Championship, the kids were all playing Atari and the original NES.
