With this year in IU basketball being as dismal as it is.  Let's focus on our top 10 recruiting class of next year!  How will the team look?  Who is going to start?  My best guess is something like Devan Dumes at PG and Maurice Creek at SG, Christian Watford at SF and either Bobby Capobianco or Tom Pritchard at PF and maybe Bawa Muniru at C.  But since Crean isn't a big fan of the center we can probably assume he'll stick in another guard, like Roth or either one of the new guys like Derek Elston or Jordan Hulls.  That's about all I got.  Discuss.

MEEKS OUT IN INDY?

A source with knowledge of the Colts’ organization has given us an intriguing tip.

Defensive coordinator Ron Meeks apparently has been fired by new coach Jim Caldwell.

We’re not reporting it as hard news yet, and we apologize to the various writers who’ll now be dispatched by their editors to chase this one.

We’ve got no reason to doubt our source, however.

ESPN’s Chris Mortensen suggested on Sunday that changes could be coming to the defensive coaching staff.  The departure of Meeks would be a fairly significant one.

Earlier this month, Meeks was interviewed by the Jets for the head-coaching position that officially was filled today by former Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan.

Meeks, like former Colts special teams coordinator Russ Purnell, joined the team with former head coach Tony Dungy in 2002.

Mortensen also reported on Sunday that owner Jim Irsay had to persuade offensive coordinator Tom Moore and offensive line coach Howard Mudd not to retire.

Bottom line?  The transition from Dungy to new coach Jim Caldwell has hardly been seamless or smooth.

Colts claimed RB Justin Forsett off waivers from the Seahawks.

Injuries cost Seattle a potential player here. Forsett becomes the Colts' No. 4 tailback, but could be active on Sundays because he plays special teams. He is a threat to Mike Hart as Indy's "backup of the future" for Joseph Addai.

I don't know what to make of this move.  I thought we were stacked at RB.  Anyone know about Forsett?

Colts.com had this to say about Jeff Saturday playing sunday

Saturday, a Pro Bowl selection the past three seasons, sustained a knee injury on August 24, and missed the regular-season opener. He was listed on the Colts’ injury report Wednesday as participating in practice on a full basis.

Asked if there was a chance Saturday could play Sunday, Dungy replied, “There is

Does anyone really believe this?  It seems like the same thing they did with Marvin last season.  He was expected to be back every week for 5 weeks.

The news that Pro Bowl C Jeff Saturday should miss at least 6-7 weeks after tearing the medial collateral ligament in his right knee comes as a blow to a team that has endured more preseason injuries than any other team in the league. Saturday is considered the linchpin of the line, and his rapport with Peyton Manning along with responsibility in calling out the pre-snap adjustments for the line cannot be replaced easily. The silver lining, however, is that the Colts are high on the trio of collegiate centers they drafted in April, particularly Mike Pollak and Steve Justice. Although Pollak's the more highly regarded of the two, we're hearing Justice has the inside track on the job because the team is grooming Pollak to be a future stalwart at guard. Having him fill in at center would stunt his maturation at guard, the team fears.

Found this article on Clint Session while looking at PFW's site

 The Colts are willing to suffer the inevitable growing pains and mental mistakes of second-year LB Clint Session, who has been thrust into the starting SLB role with Tyjuan Hagler rehabbing a torn pectoral muscle. Session is more natural on the weak side, but the feeling is that his knack for the big play could make him a star on either side if he can learn to harness his energy.

I just recieved my tickets for the vikings - colts game on August 14.  The second week of the season, the vikings home opener.  I know it's a long ways off, but since there's nothing else to talk about, how does everyone feel about this matchup.  The vikings are starting to look like a super bowl contender and the addition of Jared Allen this year just scares me.  It looks like to me if we can just hold off that beast of a line we should handle them no problem.
