OVERALL
Tom Crean is slowly returning the Hoosier back to the power house they once were and this season just might be the culmination of his hard work. This Hoosier team is probably the deepest and most talented in the country and may have the best player in the country in Zeller. Zeller proved to be dominant inside at times and as a sophomore should be ready to carry his team all the way. Watford flirted with the NBA but decided to return to help the return to glory. Hulls is a sharp shooting guard who can focus more on shooting with thd addition of Ferrell,who is consider one of the top point guards coming out of high school. Fellow freshmen Hollowell and Mosquers-Perea just adds to the Depth of Indiana which also includes Will Sheehey, Victor Oladipo, and the return of Maurice Creek who missed all of last season. This Indiana team will not only be the preseason #1 but also the favorite to win it all.
Watford made a wise decision to stay, like Zeller and Hulls. I think they have done a good work … Go guys…
