  1. I hope Banks can get it on the defensive end. That's where you can see him look lost, but if he can he's bucket getter.
  2. I do take into consideration that year 2 for Bates he's probably up most nights with a baby, and I'm sure that doesn't help, I think Gunn has an intangible that Bates may not have. There's a nastiness to Gunns game that I didn't know he had and something that we need.
  3. I haven't logged onto this site in a long time. Much like last year I still feel Kopp should be in the second unit. I suppose fear of him being a shooter on the scouting report does garner him some worth. I'm thankful to see XJ show up in a similar fashion to that of the last 6 weeks of last season. I believe that JHS will learn from last night and be much more productive. I would like to see Gunn get some of those Bates minutes. TJD, MR,Galloway, JHS, XJ.......based on the ancient philosophy of "game impact + practice work = first unit?"
  4. Our on-campus experience for him was the best. If he thinks he wants to be part of the return of IU and be a legend for the rest of his life then he's coming to IU. Ed Pinkney, ummmm, Kerry Kittles or Buckner, Chaney, Benson, IT, Alford, Schlundt......Baylor.....Can't think of anyone....because they have no legacy. We'll see....I'm guessing Nova. The offense is a fit. Philly is a shi7hole though.
  5. I saw nothing to last year to believe that CMW will remove Kopp from his starting role.
  6. I myself watched my first IU game in 1982. I've had my favorites and guys that I wished would've never came to the program. I don't wish ill will on anyone especially a teenager/early 20's that hasn't really lived as an adult yet. In saying that, the members of a team that have accepted a free education and now get paid to be in the public eye; being scrutinized is a fair trade off. I care more about the program and its success than I do Trayce Jackson-Davis. He'll be fine.
  7. Early in this process last year I let myself get carried away with my level of optimism. This year I'm going to keep it reigned in a bit. With that being said I believe we will start landing bigs from Montverde and/or IMG.
  8. I've not seen any video on him but the measurables and the numbers are impressive. Even if TJD comes back, Broome would have to be an upgrade over Durr. 12 blocks in one game this year.
  9. Johni Broome Anyone talking about this guy?
  10. I know the Patterson, Miller, Reed class was pretty highly ranked.
  11. Is this already being discussed on another thread too? F! lol
  12. Along with the Fife situation it appears to me that our AD feels like any "training wheels" are no longer necessary. This will be a Mike Woodson ship next year. More than year 1, year 2 will be a measuring stick of what CMW is and will be as the future of IU basketball. Without knowing what additions we will have via the portal and who is coming back there is definitely the possibility that we are a sub .500 team. There is also a chance that CMW could put a team of JHS, Bates, Galloway, Reneau and Thompson on the floor and show he has tremendous chops as the Captain of our ship. I remain guardedly skeptical until the roster is finalized.
  13. I've felt the same way then you look at the final four this year and UNC was a big team and Villanova got beat in the paint by McCormack. Villanova never has that big guy in side and has one though. I think there's still an argument to be bad for the "traditional" line-up. However to your point the 4 position needs to be able to stretch the floor.
  14. I agree. He's a good looking athlete and to only be 16, wow. This is a potentially 6'10" or 6'11 powerhouse in the paint. After watching Kansas he reminded me a bit of McCormack physically.
