IU Hoosiers - players leaving

[tornado]

First - the one that's pretty much confirmed - Victor Oladipo is leaving for the NBA draft...

Then speculative - that possibly Cody Zeller would leave for the draft - except he was a lottery pick a couple wks ago - then his performance in IU's Sweet 16 game dropped his stock supposedly a bunch - so now he might stay at IU.

Then there are threads on the IU Premium board about two or three other possible transfers...

One is Remy Abell -- possibly to get more playing time...lots of schools would welcome him but we kinda knew all along that Crean wanted him as a stop-gap 'til he landed a few more guys..

The others: Hanner Perea & possibly Peter Jurkin - both highly touted but getting very small playing time. - but NOTHING official - just talk that they might not get the PT there...although both have strong ties because of the Indiana AAU program..

I'd expect Crean to find a way to get rid of Maurice Creek, who has never been effective since his injuries.

now talk of a press conference Wednesday for Cody Zeller

[real fan]

Picked Indiana in one of my pools to win it all, big mistake as Crean never goes as far as predicted in the tour, bad place for a player to go if he wants to win a Nat"l championship.

There are many bad places.

hmmm... I thought someone around here said Remy was going to be a stud at Indiana...

We will never know, but I think he would have been a big plus for the Braves if he would have come on board. Might have missed it, but don't ever remember anyone on this board saying he would have been a stud. Many comments though about how he would have helped the Braves.

I would still take Remy on the Hilltop!

[tornado]

can you link to that prediction that someone said he'd be a stud at Indiana - because I never saw that.
only that people said he was capable of playing at the BCS level but that he'd have had a far greater chance to excel had he gone mid-major like at BU

In fact - here may be the comment you have MIS-interpreted....
it comes form one of our fans saying Remy may have been a stud had he stayed at Bradley NOT that he'd be a stud at IU

BTW - with FOUR starters leaving - three of whom will be drafted by NBA teams - is there any doubt that Tom Crean will have his work cut out for him..
He still has some quality players but the dropoff will be noticable.

I remember someone saying he would be a stud. Can't find the thread it might have been deleted.

I recall it was stated he was a stud player in high school, and would have been an immediate impact player at the Valley level. I still believe he would have been. I do not recall those predictions being applied to him at Indiana.

FTR, this past year, he appeared in all 36 games for Indiana, a team that spent much of the season ranked #1 in the country, he was often the first player off the bench, played more minutes than all but 6 other IU players (3 of whom will be in the NBA next year), lead the team in 3-point percentage, and has been described by his coach as a valuable part of the team, and possibly their best defender. Other than scoring (which was not his role on the team), I'd say those are some very impressive accomplishments. I am not sure that many All-MVC players could accomplish as much if they were placed on a similar top ranked team.

And now IU is in on Jared Sina which many IU fans think means Remy is unhappy and is leaving so they will need a back up pg.

RA to BU? OR to UC-D?

Just announced- Indiana junior Maurice Creek will not return to Indiana next year. Could this open a scholarship for the return of Remy Abell? There are reports that Indiana Coach Tom Crean is trying to coax Remy back.
