Re: Big Ten fan thread
[QUOTE=Posterize246]I think he's worthy of the 5 spot if not higher. He was a very respectable coach at Marquette. But I admit I don't know too much about Painter or Smith so maybe I'm wrong. I would definately put him above Beilein though.[/QUOTE]

Michigan St is going to have a nice squad. I like that Morgan kid on the Spartans. He plays fearless.
I think that we will have a surprise this season. Minnesota is going to shock alot of people.
Tubby Smith has a top 20 recruiting class for 2008. Plus, we have some highly ranked players on the docket for next season (2009). Tubby is making Minnesota proud.

Re: Big Ten fan thread
I'm pretty sure IU's not gonna be hot at all this year, still make a reasonable record after losing all its starter, and fans will love the new coach for his energy, and the fact that he tries to preach in some defense. But other then that, it's gonna be a very sad day when I may have to witness Purdue actually beating IU here in bloomington.

They didn't just lose all of their starters. They lost pretty much the entire team.

Re: Big Ten fan thread
The silver lining, if there is one, of the whole IU saga is that when you bring in a new coach with a completely different style, demeanor, philosophy, all that, you may as well start from scratch. If a guy doesn't want to be there, get rid of him, no reason to keep him around.
And I am going to love every single bit of IU's misery this season.

Tom Crean gets a 2 year extension...less than 3 months into the job. Makes sense to me!

Re: Big Ten fan thread
Well, drop Illinois a few spots in your preseason predictions. Jamar Smith proved my theory that he was more an idiot than a victim of circumstance by getting caught drinking at a bar, which violates his probation. I don't think there is anyway Weber can keep him around after this incident.
In other news, they picked up a verbal from Meyers Leonard, a 6'10 class of 2010 center from Robinson, Illinois. I've seen ranked as high as #43 in the country, and is generally considered a four star prospect. Everything I've read says that he has loads of potential and has performed very well this summer, shooting him up the rankings. That said, I'm always apprehensive about small school players' ability to make the jump into big time college ball.

It may be a down year, but IU will be back in the hunt soon.
