The Assembly Call Blog

This week on Assembly Call Radio, we discuss:

• Ed Schilling’s departure, the timing of it, and what kind of replacement Indiana should look for.

• A couple of recruiting names that popped up this week.

• Reaction to Juwan and Romeo’s fits in Utah and Boston.

• And then we answer your questions, including where we think the outside shooting will come from next season, the team chemistry, and who would we rather fight: one Greg-Oden-sized Isiah Thomas, or ten Isiah-Thomas-sized Greg Odens.

On the mics: Andy, Ryan and Michael Dugan

All of that and more on this week’s edition of Assembly Call Radio.

This week on Assembly Call Radio, we discuss:

• Romeo Langford being drafted at the end of the lottery at #14 by the Boston Celtics. How good of a fit is this for Romeo and his development? Jerod also highlights a few reasons to feel good about the Trey Galloway recruitment.

• In Segment Two, we count down Romeo’s top 10 moments from his freshmen season. You might not remember just how many big plays and big shots Romeo made in some of Indiana’s biggest victories. You’ll enjoy reliving them in this segment.

• And then we answer your questions, including one about who we think will take the biggest jump in production next year, another about which Big Ten players we would pluck from other teams if we could, and then one about what level of winning Indiana needs to get to for Archie to be able to pull in top recruits from outside the state of Indiana.

Then you get some bonus content from after the final buzzer … which features Coach in rare form. (It’s a sound drop bonanza.)

On the mics: Jerod, Andy, and Coach — plus Ben Ladner for a special report on Romeo’s fit in Boston

All of that and more on this week’s edition of Assembly Call Radio.

This week on Assembly Call Radio, we discuss:

• A roundup of Hoosier headlines — including Trayce and Armaan arriving on campus, Romeo getting invited to the Green Room, Juwan’s comments about Romeo’s buy-in during his freshman season, and Joey Brunk’s impressive (aren’t they all?) workout video.

• Our predictions for who the breakout players and leading scorers will be for a team that will be completely reshuffling its scoring hierarchy this season.

• And then we answer your questions, including one about Indiana’s decision to save two scholarships (as of now, at least) and what can be done to improve the in-game experience at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

On the mics: Jerod, Andy, and special guest host Galen Clavio from Crimson Cast.
