Jordan Geronimo is coming to Indiana Basketball – how big a deal is his commitment?
Jordan Geronimo is coming to Bloomington, and I have no idea what that means. The 6’6″ swingman who apparently can touch Vermont from his high school gym in New Hampshire committed to Indiana’s basketball program yesterday, and Twitter exploded. Geronimo is the 85th ranked player in the 2020 high school class, according to 247sports, and […]
Archie Miller doesn’t do a lot of press. Some coaches are very receptive to the idea of chatting with media people about life and basketball. Archie is not among them, and that’s just fine. I have no problem with coaches – whose time is at a premium because of workouts, meetings, compliance, recruiting, and other […]
My optimism for Indiana Basketball needs to be validated at some point or I’m going to sound like one of those boobs in Bedford who predict a sixth National Championship before every season. The schedule was released today, and I’m feeling very good about the chance for the Hoosiers to find a way back into […]
Romeo didn’t do it – at least not with Nike. Court documents filed on behalf of America’s worst person Michael Avenatti allege Nike approved payments of $35,000 or more to Zion Williamson and $20,000 to Romeo Langford. That sent up a bright red flag when I read it early this morning on ESPN.com. Then I […]
Anthony Leal is a senior at Bloomington South High School with a hell of a decision to make. He can study and play basketball at either Indiana or Stanford for free. This is a little like being forced to choose which winning lottery ticket to cash.. There are great reasons to choose both programs, and […]
What’s so special about basketball players from Indiana?” “Do you really think basketball is different inside Indiana’s borders?” “Why should Indiana University value a kid from Indiana over an identical kid from New York or Texas?” If you are from Indiana, you would be surprised how often I’m asked these questions. If you aren’t from […]
This is Indiana! IU Basketball fans say “This is Indiana” a lot – as though evoking the name of the university and state that takes such pride in its basketball heritage can shake off the rubble and cobwebs of a program that has receded into national irrelevance over the past quarter century. During that 25-year period, […]
Ed Schilling is moving on, according to multiple online reports. Archie Miller’s original staff (Schilling, Bruiser Flint, Tom Ostrom, and Bill Comar) remained intact for two years, and Schilling’s decision to bolt could be explained in a number of ways – Miller is a tough guy to work for, recruiting is a pain in the ass, […]
College basketball’s three-point line is moving back to the international distance of 22 feet, 1 ¾ inches, and I love it. As shooting has improved, teams have gone to an offensive scheme where the midrange game no longer exists. The game has evolved into chuck it or dunk it, and basketball has suffered as a result. […]
