No formal announcement but Gary Parrish at CBS is reporting that Yogi Ferrell will stay at Indiana. With incoming talent on the inside, Indiana should be much improved in 2015/16.
I'm not sure I'd place them in the top three, depending on if Purdue finds a serviceable point guard. But they will be talented. Much will depend on what Crean does with the talent.
The Big Ten should be a very tough conference this coming season. With Iowa's influx of multiple bodies, it will be hard to determine what kind of expectations to place on our Hawkeyes. Top seven? Maybe. With Michigan State and Maryland pretty much sure thing top ten teams. With Purdue possibly there? Then Indiana?
I'd put Iowa in a group of six after that, somewhere. Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio State, Michigan and Northwestern. Just an early guess, but perhaps we could reasonably expect to top three of those for that seventh spot? It's going to take some of our new guys to contribute right away, one or two in a big way.
