Hoosierdave Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 I don't think landing Carton would be that problematic. I could see having Carton & Phinisee share time at PG, then move Green and Anderson/ Hunter to SG for just next year (saving the starting SF spot for Brooks/Watford). By 2020 you can land Trey Galloway and by 2021 you could get the youngest Blackmon. I know I'm looking way ahead but it would be nice to have two solid PGs already locked up when we have potential at SG down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he could dodge all those scenerios and have the job at a very good program like UM from day 1. I’d have him in a heartbeat don’t get me wrong but my scenerio seems to fit with who his favorite is at the moment. Now if DG doesn’t shine and RP doesn’t play amazing then that changes everything.

Yep. Been my concern since his first visit. What situation looks more enticing. Potential of sharing with DG and RP or going to Michigan and immediate playing time? Playing time reigns supreme.

FW_Hoosier Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 I’m just not sure I see Green playing consistently enough next season to lock down the point guard spot full-time going forward. It can be hard to fix issues that are between the ears. Regardless, Phinisee, Green, and Durham will make up a pretty thin guard rotation both next year and in 2019. I think we for sure need to get another guard in 2019. Is Carton a pure PG, or more of a combo guard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't automatically start at PG for UM either since Simpson will be a senior when he comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep..but competing with a Soph and another upperclassmen for playing time vs waiting 1 year and being handed the keys (potentially) are 2 different scenarios. I can see why Michigan would be appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just what I'd be telling him if I was Holtmann or Beilein. "This kid Phinesee he's really good. He's an Indiana kid. He'll be a year ahead of you. He's an Indiana kid. He's a pure PG. He's an Indiana kid." I have the utmost confidence in Archie but I think this one will be a tough sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADegenerate Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Those quotes are great news for us. I still think it’s an uphill battle but man....this staff is a collective beast and and a wrecking unit right now. (I think it’s a long shot and yet DJ says they text him everyday lol.)

We all also thought Romeo was a long shot.... until he wasn’t! 😎 We’ll need at least one strong guard in the 19 class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 I'm still thinking Michigan or Iowa on this one. No other reason except for more immediate playing time. With that said...Archie has somewhat shocked me in the first 13 months so what's another top 30 player at a position we'll have 2 returning players at. Haha..
