*Official* 2017-2018 B1G In-Season Thread

All B1G players:

Jaren Jackson - 5
Miles Bridges - 9
Keita Bates-Diop - 27
Vince Edwards - 48
Ethan Happ - 49
Mo Wagner - 52
Isaac Haas - 54
Dakota Mathias - 57

That's not a long list. Only three sure draft picks and they are all underclassmen who could return (doubt if JJJ or MB do though).

KBD could return because he lost last year to injury. But it’s hard to pass up the $$.
 
If I had just lost a season to injury, I wouldn't be messing around and would be entering the draft the second I saw first round as likely.

No idea what KBD will do, but I'd strike while the iron is hot.

All depends on who is giving you the advice. I mean whoever gave Melo the advice to leave last year should just go away forever. That was terrible decision and its not like there is a hindsight thing, there were a lot of outlets saying he might sneak into the 2nd round but probably not.

KBD already will have his degree, whats the point in staying? Happ should leave to honestly. The go only if you have guaranteed money only applies when you haven't finished school. If either of those players have aspirations to make money playing Basketball they leave after this year

Agree with this 100%

I would too, for the exact reason you just gave. Hard to tell what KBD will do, he’s a humble and quiet kid, hard to get a good read on him at times, but I’d be surprised if he stayed.
 
@ThreeTwaunMoore The Michigan Purdue game has been bet down to Purdue -9.5 so if you got Michigan +12 you made a terrific bet regardless of whether you actually win or not tonight.


There really is nothing for KBD to come back for - he theres nothing he can improve so drastically that it makes sense to get a year older while simultaneously risking injury.

Keita Bates Diop is essentially a mirror of Swanigans draft prospects in that it doesnt make any sense for him to stay. Hes already considered old for the draft as a 22yo 4th year junior

Just checked the line at lunch and saw it dropped quite a bit.
 
Bates-Diop questionable tonight due to illness. If he doesn't go, OSU should still win but it certainly gets more interesting.

Speaking of KBD and his 19.7ppg and 8.8rpg...
Ohio State may have to take on Penn State without its best player.
According to Dan Wallenberg, Ohio State's Associate Athletics Director for Communications, Keita Bates-Diop is questionable for tonight's game against the Nittany Lions due to illness.

Just why? did they think another school was going to poach him LOL
taking a team that had only been to the NCAAT 3 times with just 1 win in 11 seasons and by 6 Fran had taken Iowa to 3 straight NCAAT with 2 wins, with back to back 3rd place finishes at 12-6,

he also had 4 straight 20+ winning seasons and 5 straight .500 or better winning records in the BT with 6 straight winning seasons.

as for his coaching resume he was a assistant for 9 years at ND and was just 1 of 4 coaches to take 5 losing programs and turn them into NCAAT teams.

the last was Iowa. he has been a proven winner.

who gives a F because he is having his 1st losing season in year 8.

the only ones are those that feel it is their God Given right to have BT Championships and National championship EVERY YEAR.

as I showed in another post the only one that won that many seasons in a row were these
Izzo of MSU
Ryan of Wisconsin
Matta of OSU
Fran of Iowa and NOBODY EVEN came close, only some butt hurt fans that expect 20+ winning seasons every damn year that are the problem.

Wtf are you talking about?
 
For all you degenerate gamblers, Sounds like no Bates diop (illness) tonight. I would think this will be a good one now
 
Ohio State is a 2 seed in the latest ESPN Bracketology. Going to need them to find a way to win without KBP tonight.

what Fran has done since he became Iowa's HC.

since Ryan retired and Matta gave up coaching due to health issues
Izzo now leads all BT Coaches with the longest WINNING Streak.
Fran is 2nd as of now with a winning streak of 6 seasons.

kinda makes a lot of you look like fools by saying he can't coach as a winner.

But still, that buyout looks ridiculous now. Think it's partly to do with some incoming recruits, one being Fran 's son.
