  1. I never saw Abell as a 1 more of a 2. Yogi was very solid as a freshmen he didn’t just start over a promise. He averaged 4 assist a game as a fresh. The team needed a true PG. it allowed Hulls to play more of his natural position as a 2 guard. his sophomore year the team was in a transition year and yogi really had to step up into more of a scoring role. Sheehey well he was good off the bench in that role but he was never going to be the man on a winning team. And he can say what he wants but Yogi shot 40 percent from deep that year on almost 7 attempts per game and averaged 4 assists. Was Yogi a great defender or known for his defense well no I don’t believe that but he was never a liability and at times he really stepped up and lead on the defensive end. And At the end of the day the man was a career 40 percent shooter from deep, Indiana’s All TIME assist leader, racked up 1,986 points in his career, and 2 time outright BIG Ten champ. not bad for a short guard, taking 2 years to adjust, and being a liability on defense. Oh and he is doing just fine in the NBA.
  2. Yogi did not struggle on D as an upperclassman. I was at the Iowa game his senior year when they switched him on to Peter Jok in the second half and he shut him down. Iowa was ranked 3rd In the nation at the time. He did not take 2 years to adjust. He was the starting point guard for the BIG champs and number 1 seed in the tourney as a Freshmen. Yes if 2 players are equal you take the one with more height. Not many are equal to leland Walker. Yes length is nice but that does not mean you take someone that is not as good because they are a couple inches taller. Sounds like something Crean would do. I don’t believe Archie thinks that way. Rob Is barely 6 foot and is the best on ball defender on the team. Archie didn’t back off from him because of his height.
  3. Ha was Yogi to small? Oh that’s right he is Indiana’s all time assist leader now. If you can play you can play. Archie being a good small guard himself I doubt he would think like this. Leland Walker is going to be really good for whoever gets him.
  4. And then Lawhorn in 2023 right!? That would be an insane string of guards at IU.
  5. It was more like if it comes down to it I’d take Walker over Smith. And I mentioned Smith because he has been getting a lot more attention then Walker and I thought it bring good discussion...I like Smith That boy can play and he is going to make tough winning plays. I’d want him on my team any day of week. I see him as a colverdale/Hulls type which is great! but I see Walker as a star like Yogi/Thomas..maybe even more specially. I think Smith could play off ball in college like Hulls and Colverdale and excel In that type of role/more spot up shooter.. Walker is guy where ball is in his hands running show. Not sure if we would take both but I’d be happy if we did.
  6. Yea this kid is for real. I had no idea who he was until IsAw IU has been contacting him every day now and WOW I about feel out my chair when I saw some highlight vids. I was really bullish on Another small guard IU was recruiting a few years back by the name of Tremont Waters. I wanted him the most out of anybody in class just thought he would be a star. He ended up having an awesome career at LSU. On the G league team with Romeo now. I believe he was G league MVP. I feel same way with Walker. He gonna be a star.
  7. Exactly what I thought! His mentality is like Westbrook. Except Westbrook is 6’4.. seems like Walker can shoot a little bit tho. I wouldn’t say great but I maybe guess 35-37% from 3.. anybody got any numbers from last high school year?
  8. Not trying to upset anybody here but not sure why I can’t state me opinion on 2 guard targets for that class.. I like Smith a lot as well I think he brings that jordy Hulls Feel back. A lot better passer than hulls tho.. honestly I’d love to ha a em both...Smith can probably shoot and pass a little better but I believe his athletic ability will hinder him a little at next level to make plays for others.. Walker is just on another level athletically and he is a good shooter and passer as well.
  9. https://youtu.be/Wiiw-O511F4 Here’s a link. This guy needs to be getting a lot more attention on here. I have a buddy who has watched him live this summer. Says he passes and shoots well. Has a nice feel for the game. Then obviously I love the mentality he has of wanting to tear the rim off every chance he gets! I really hope he likes IU! He would be ELECTRIC Inside Assembly Hall.
  10. If you haven’t already do yourself a favor and watch some highlights from this kid... WOW! My favorite player from 2022 class right now!
  11. This kid is going to be a good one! I think he has a higher upside than Smith because of his athletic ability. Would take both though.
  12. I have a player coming in 2020 class that I’ve coached in high school basketball. I’m not going to say who because I like to keep myself anonymous. He should be a good one though. MLB teams have already been in contact during basketball season this past year.
  13. Huge pickup tonight for Hoosiers
  14. Hmmmm I like it.. how big a fish we talking?
  15. Thanks for info guys! He definitely checks off the rest of the boxes with his passing shooting and ball handling
  16. Very skilled but are we sure he is going to be athletic enough to play at the BIG level?
  17. I have the same feeling unless we really prove on the court this year we can win. That will go a long ways with 2021in my opinion.
  18. For some reason I thought he was like 6”6 or 6”7.. cross would be a better fit then
