Just for the heck of it, I wanted to rank some of Indiana's big men for those that don't have a chance to get out to see them play. I saw all of these in top 40, all-star games and some in AAU. I don't see a lot but enough to form an opinion. I think it's interesting how they are doing and also considering the topic of redshirting.
(These are strictly my opinions of what these guys looked like "to me" in their SR season (except Gant).
Rank and comments.
Fromm
on the bench at Butler. Should have redshirted in my opinion.
Gant
I think he should redshirt but could play if we need him.
Carroll
very few minutes at PU. Should have redshirted.
Kitchell
Glad he redshirted. better than Smith who is doing well at Butler
RJ
Glad he redshirted. Good future.
Bade
bench at PU. Don't know about future. Maybe help as Jr-Sr.
Smith
Did not redshirt because Butler needed him. Playing much better than
I expected as a So.
I know nobody will hesitate to offer differing opinions.
I guess my main pont is I'm glad we are redshirting and some of the other programs, I think, are making a mistake by not doing it.
