The big subject on everyone’s mind in Hoosier nation this offseason concerns junior All-B1G point guard Yogi Ferrell. Will the team’s best player stay for his senior season, or will he enter the NBA draft? A decision hasn’t been announced yet, but Ferrell did post an interesting picture on Instagram.

Thank you Hoosier Nation for being there with us this season with all the scrutiny and bad mouthing we got, you guys stuck by us. From being picked 12th in the Big Ten to being a NCAA tournament team we stuck together and overcame adversity #IUBB A photo posted by Kevin Yogi Ferrell (@yogiferre11) on Mar 23, 2015 at 5:05am PDT

Now one school of thought would say this is just a very nice sentiment from Ferrell to the fans. Like he said above, it was a rough offseason for Indiana. Player transfers, trouble with the law, and a car accident highlighted the issues off the court. Fans became restless and no one even expected this year’s team to be that competitive. But despite everything in their way, Indiana was solid and made the Big Dance.

On the other hand, this could very easily be a farewell message to Hoosier faithful. Unless the Hoosiers find a legitimate big man (Thomas Bryant, anyone?) then next year’s team is likely bound to be just like this one. There will be strong guard play, but it probably won’t be good enough to get Indiana further than it went this season. That being the case, then perhaps it’s time for Ferrell to try his hand at the NBA.

We won’t know for sure until Ferrell says either way, but let this picture be the start of the discussion between Hoosier fans everywhere.
