I completely agree. Lance Stemler, Mike White, and Jamarcus Ellis dominated at the JC level. They really weren't capable of doing too much at the D1 level. I don't really like us recruiting JC players just because there are so many unknowns. The competition is bad and their numbers are probably inflated a little. Also, it's hard to evaluate someone when they are playing against bad competition.

You got that right. Let's take a look at the class...

Tom Pritchard
Role player, a Sean Kline clone.

Matt Roth
He's a great 3 point shooter and well that's it.

Nick Williams
This is the guy to keep an eye on. Could be a star one day. Has size, strength, athleticism and ability.

Verdell Jones
Has some skill, but needs muscle & strength, Big10 guards will punish him.

Tijan Jobe
A raw, limited big man. He's 22 and might have already peaked.

Devan Dumes
Solid player, nothing spectacular. The transition from the JC ranks to the Big10 will be a struggle.

Daniel Moore
An Errek Suhr type of player, nuff said.

Kory Barnett
WHO?

Broderick Lewis
Raw, athletic and undersized.

That's more like it. Kelin and Ben have something for Dumes and Jobe. They maybe Juniors but they were playing JC ball...which in my mind is probably less competitive than AAU.

I saw that on Hutch's blog yesterday afternoon. It made me sad, since a couple of days ago I was thinking about how much I liked Gladness, and then suddenly I see that he's passed unexpectantly. Very sad, indeed, and all prayers and well-wishes out to his family and loved ones. It seems like he embodied the things that we as fans look for in the players for Indiana's basketball program, with the work he was doing after college. Very sad news for a lot of us.

French is just a bastardized form of Latin, anyway.

That's very sad...sounds like he was doing some really positive things. Damn. RIP.

Agreed solid role player at IU one of the few times we went JUCO but Bob got a lot out of him.......

Thoughts and prayers go out to William Gladness' family. William apparently died unexpectantly from a bacterial infection.

William was a decent player during the 98 -99 season. You might remember him as the JUCO player that had a bullet in him from when he was shot in high school, or you might remember him for all the bunnies he missed in his two years at IU, most notably the potential game winner missed against Kentucky from about a foot from the basket...

I am going to challenge how much of an IU fan I am and sit down and write down the names of every player without looking .....As I look now....

starting 5
G. Jordan Crawford
G. Devan Dumes
F. Nick Williams
F. Kyle Tabor
C. Tijan Jobe

What I would like to see....
G. Jordan Crawford
G. Matt Roth or D. Dumes(I like the fact these kids can flat out shoot it, stretch the floor, and can be the receiver of drive and kick outs...)
F. Nick Williams
F. Negedu
C. Tijan Jobe
THIS GROUP COULD FINISH IN THE TOP HALF OF THE BIG 10......

Re: Crean dismisses Brandon McGee for ‘negligence’

Kelin Blab — Thu, 22 May 2008 19:30:48 -0000

Tabor leaving would be more crushing because he is one of the kids we actually like....

My buddy did tell me it is rumored on sportsline Jordan C. may be leaving too...still haven't found the article though...

seriously.

I believe it's Kyle Taber, I've seen it spelled both Tabar and Tabor though several times over the last couple days. And on the note of him leaving I think it was meant as more of a joke since he will be seeing a considerable amount of playing time with all the departures this year.

Kelin Blab — Thu, 22 May 2008 18:32:09 -0000

Just read Tabar is thinking about leaving, he stated he didn't like all the playing time and is in condition enough for 10-12minutes not 15 like Crean wants.....man this sucks.

Welcome to IU Negedu (my prediction)

How long until McGee says he's going to play for Detroit? I'm pretty sure thats the hometown of Crawford as well. Should be interesting
