I still think we need to find a true point guard. Rice may be an OK part time at the 1, Cupps isn't even close to being a true PG (yet), and I'd rather have Gallo @ 2-3. We've got the opening, just need to fill it. Seems like most of the attention in the portal is 2-5 positions. (we needed those as well, but I'd like a knock down shooter point guard)

I find it hard to believe that Woodson would discuss how many minutes anybody will play at this stage of the game. I can see him saying there are 5-30 minutes up for grabs, but you gotta earn it. (FKIM01, not aimed at you as you were quoting someone else, just used your post for context)

Maybe...but wait until prospective employers get a load of his ego.

And I was only asking for 3. (Actually I meant to say 3-4 "good shooters", not necessarily 40% guys, but I'd take it.) After all, if you are serious about winning a Natty, you need more than one good shooter.

To me the only expectation is exactly what Woodson said from day one. Win Big Ten titles and compete for Natty. God only knows we're backing up the Brinks trucks for these guys and Woodson. Think it's time they earn it.

I wouldn't care if his name is Fred Freeps if he can hit 39%-41% from three and take a stance on defense. So far, we're O-for. (Mac doesn't count because he's already here, and he's only 1. We need 3-4 in the rotation IMO)

I honestly think he could have bought a new AC compressor for the car, for less than the gas generator and AC in this picture.

All you guys make good points. No doubt the recruits we've got committed are talented. But talent doesn't equate to winning. I've been listening to Rabjohns on a podcast and he's saying IU's still going after yet another, big man. that would give us 3 bigs. All talented, all productive, but if don't have anybody that can stretch the floor, defenses will just clog the lane. It's nice to see all you guys saying I'm wrong. Honestly hope you're right. But jury is still out for me on how productive and wins we get next year.

Is this guy as good as Ware? (probably not) So we're now gonna see 2 bigs playing together again, "inside (and hopefully) out". I'll believe it when I see a 4 out 1 in game with 3 shooters on the perimeter. (from IU that is) So far I'm under whelmed with the committed recruits. Not a huge step forward IMO. If MM gets hurt we got NO shooters on the perimeter. Cupps: No. Gallo: No. Newton: Unknown. Rice: Not any better than Gallo. You guys can celebrate all you want. Good for you. But I'm with-holding my excitement until I see the product on the floor.
