U can say that again! They were really bad. Lol. Remember that play at IU when Teske got the ball wide open in lane and practically tripped over his own feet, hesitated and air balled a layup? Didn't play the rest of the season. Don't ever write off a Beilein player until their junior season. It was scary to think of Simpson replacing Walton for good reason and why we took Simmons and expected big things out of him.

We’ll have to agree to disagree as to why he chose Osu over UM and IU. Ill take the kids word for it that relationships played the biggest part. Kid might be a bust as you just never know but you’ll never convince me that he thought for one second about Dejulius or Brooks when he made his decision. This kids playing time would likely have been the same at all three schools and I’m confident he knows that.
I tend to agree with you, if for the only reason is even before he took his first official, it was being said that everything was equal with the schools. He very openly said that the only thing he wanted to get out of these officials was to see who he had the best chemistry with.
Even a day later, I'm still shocked that it was OSU. Not trying to take anything away from OSU, its just because for months everyone who knew something said that they were behind IU and Michigan.
True freshman and Michigan had senior Abdur-Rahkman and sophomore Charles Matthews ahead of him at the 2/3. He will likely slide into Abdur-Rahkman's 30mpg at the 2 this year.
I’m surprised because UM fans seemed so confident and IU fans seemed to agree with them to a certain degree. It was confusing to me because Carton visited Osu in April and May and conducted himself like Osu was a serious contender if not favorite.
I was thinking Carton liked the big city vibe and athletic resources OSU has. Different feel than your average college town university.
Oh yeah, I wasn't shocked that he didn't pick IU, it was not picking Michigan that shocked me. But in all honesty, I was just being a sheep and following whatever direction the crowd was going on this one. Besides the information that I was told by the "experts " I really didn't know anything else about him, or his recruitment. So when all the experts were saying that it was going to be Michigan, I took that info as facts.
@boiler1987 it was time
Haha thank you sir. Everything went great and I appreciate the shout out!
Good Morning my disciples of the Big Ten on this blessed day. Here is a nugget of wisdom from 3 John 1:11
Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from Iowa. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen Jesus Bohannon play and is from Nebraska.
The word of the lord.
Have a blessed week.

Practice? We talkin bout practice.
Against a Beilein defense thats expected.
It’s a Yaklich defense now, and it was ranked 3rd in the country last year.
Somebody asked about how incoming freshmen were looking in practice a week or so ago, so yes. I'm just late on the response.
Forgive the Indiana fans for not having a reason to follow the college basketball season after struggling to finish above .500 on the year.
3 is quite the outlier. The years before? 69, 92, 100, 89.....Beilein has avg a KP defense of 67th. Can you sit here and say with a straight face that Beilein is known for his teams defense?
I think it’s to earlier to call Beilein a defensive mastermind after 1 season yes, but I’ll be damned if that defense wasn’t impressive last year. They completely shut down MSU, I know that.
Well they were a top 5 defense through 41 games last year and return their best defenders (Simpson, Matthews, and Teske). I think they will be a top 25 defense again.
Iowa/Purdue. Although is it disappointing if you don't expect much from them to begin with?
I feel northwestern will drop back to the complete bottom of the standings
Iowa was last year's team. If they don't perform again this year, I won't be surprised at all.
I’ll go with Nebraska (IIRC one of the preseason rankings had them top 3 in the b10 and top 20ish overall). Reminds me of northwestern at this time last year
I agree. They're the thinnest of any team not named Rutgers IMO.
That's a good choice. Nebraska loves shitting the bed with the slightest expectations.
I'll go with Michigan. After their bench beats their starters consistently in preseason, their psyches will be so fragile that they will wilt at the first sign of struggle.

It fit in with his trolling, but it was possibly the worst take this off-season.
