    He is our basketball version of a "beanball". I like sending him out there to do what he does best......................causing opposing players to fear for their health

    I believe John Chaney from Temple referred to it as "sending in the goon"

    Tijan's season will be a smashing success if can can accomplish any one of the following: a) score on an alley-oop; b) rebound & make a 10'+ outlet pass in less than 4 seconds; c) block 2 shots in a game; or d) straight bust an opponent's star post player's grill. No other player in the history of IU will bring the F'n house down like Tijan for completing the most redimentary of tasks- and that's just awesome! http://is.gd/4kaf1

    i dont know what made me think of "mike tysons punch out" but i get the feeling that Jobe is kind of like the "glass joe" of the 2010 team..

    You guys really got me. I was sitting here reading this thinking, "you've got to be kidding me." But I agree he is nothing more than a practice dummy. Although it will give the guys a chance to go against a 7 footer every day in practice.

    Based on Crean's comments, a successful season for Tijan this year, is for him not to hurt anyone wearing the cream and crimson this year....Hold your breath Friday night during the madness...

    On a side note........Great article on some Hoosier Hysteria vistors and Zeller, Carlino, and Etherington playing some pick up games with/at IU.....

    Can't wait to have that scholarship opened up.
    Any word on Jobe the second's eligibility yet?

    Awesome post. This brightened my day.

    ...but really, if we got kyle taber junior year-like #'s, i'd be thrilled. if he can keep his teammates healthy and see a few minutes here and there, a putback, a rebound, he'd make my year. (if not, let him run wild on illinois!)

    From one akward tall guy to another...keep fighting Jobe we're behind you!

    He looked so awkward on the court last year. At times, painful to watch. There are people making comparisons between Tijan and Bawa Muniru. They are not valid. Bawa is not "Tijan the second". Muniru has some skills and he is not near as awkward as Tijan.

    I loved the effort when he got in but I hope there is never a point when we need him to provide anything off the bench.

    Someone please tell me that Bawa is a lot better than Jobe right now. If he is only a little better than that tells us how good he really is!

    Well his senior year in high school he wasn't good enough to start a lot of the games and he is near 7 feet tall. Do you know of any skilled 7 footers who aren't dominating the high school level?
  • hoosierboy · 1 month ago
    Well if than thats sad that Crean has to go that low onthe totem pole just to get a big man. So you are basically saying we have two wasted sholorships on 7 footers from Africa that have limited basketball skills. That makes a lot of sense!
