"The Big Handsome" and Oladipo Decide to Enter NBA Draft After Second and Third Season
- Victor Oladipo (#4) and Cody Zeller (#40)
- These two boys truly made history for IU Basketball with Oladipo in only three seasons and Zeller in just two. They each received many awards and broke records that we, as a student body, will never forget. This is not a typical post, but it is a true tribute to these boys above to show their national and IU nation's deepest congratulations (and other responses) for entering the next NBA draft. Clearly, some of us want to "jump off a cliff."
- This is a nice little video above of Oladipo's press conference with coach Tom Crean announcing his decision. It's not too long, so watch it!
- Above is an accurate B1G highlight video from Zeller's last season as an Indiana Hoosier.
- What a bittersweet tweet! :') I am happy for Cody's being able to go to the draft.
- Zeller has an impressive academic background as Valedictorian of his high school, graduating from IU after two years and two summers, and going to the NBA in the middle of his last summers of schooling. Congrats, man!
- This is legitimately sad for me to hear. He will be missed. His legacy will live on as the 7-foot "big handsome" from Indiana exceeding the Zeller tradition of basketball success.
- I am sure Cody Zeller will be more than able to play against the likes of Lebron James #hahahahaha#badmovebro
- There are some critics of course, but we can't all be Lebron after all.
- Crean is supportive of Zeller and wishes him well.
- Talking about his teammates, he knows they all have a mutual understanding. This shows some major team backbone and support. They form a family, no doubt!

- Indiana Hoosiers' Victor Oladipo leaving for NBA draft - ESPN1 day ago ... Indiana's Victor Oladipo made it official Tuesday: He's headed to the NBA.
- I read this and then knew that Zeller would choose to go too. This is the best time for both of them to go (and Watford too).
- Clearly, the fandom spreads to IU families and friends everywhere!
- The girl on the right next to Zeller is or was supposedly his girlfriend, but he does not specifically make any part of his love life known to the general public--only speculation.
- I agree.
- Zeller and All His Glory
- His parents never fail to impress me. Their dedication to their sons is incredible. Go team parents!
- GOODBYE
- CODY! We love and miss you already.
- He is the next big thing, I think. There has been mention suggesting he go to the Lakers. Maybe that's the next move?
- #TransformationTuesday
- Thank you for playing your heart out as a Hoosier, Victor. Go follow your dreams!
- If our team doesn't have heart, soul, spirit, charisma, engagement, and drive, I don't know who does. #HoosierNation #WeAreIU #IUBB
