08:23 AM ET 06.20 | For starters, Glenn Robinson III may need a new nickname. "A lot of people call me 'Tre,'" said Robinson, the top-ranked player in U-M's impressive incoming recruiting class. "I know the whole Michigan staff, they call me Tre. But they have Trey Burke, so I think I'm going to have to either stick with Glenn or come up with a new nickname. A lot of people call me GIII or GRIII." ... [When Robinson committed to Michigan] he was a three-star recruit who looked like a nice complementary piece. Now, he looks like a potentially dominant player at 6-foot-7 and more than 190 pounds. He is ranked as the nation's No. 2 small forward prospect by Rivals, behind only UCLA-bound Kyle Anderson.

They will be a tough squad. How do you think Cody Zellar will do?

Zeller will be tough to handle this year. I've seen him once this Summer and I would agree with the coaches that he's a true 7' now and is at about 255. He's added around 10 lbs since the end of the year. With his ability to run the floor and you add in Yogi's skills at pushing the rock and those two together with the pick and roll and they will be tough. You've got the sharpshooter in Hulls, athleticisim on the wing, and the best depth at IU since I've ever been a fan. Three things I want to see big improvements on from last season:

Zeller and Oladipo shooting the mid range jumper with consistency
Team defense must be much better
How do the frosh blend with the current guys to contribute where and when they can

Sounds like he's follwing in the footsteps of his big brother. I think Tom Crean is a good coach and I'm happy that he's been able to turn around the IU hoops program after the Kelvin Sampson nonsense. As an Ohio State fan the bad part is with IU getting stronger it'll be tougher for Thad Matta to get talent out of the state. Although no question IU should be top-dog in conference when the season tips off.
